Latest update in regards to the ability problem

 I have spoken to Rob at BBK and we have now rectified the problem and the abilities now work. 

**************************

Please note you will need to have full BRCA before you can race at our club including tonight!!!!     
No BRCA no racing!!!

We have noticed that since we have been running finals at the end of every Wednesday night there’s tension building up from the drivers when racing and also the standard of driving drops so we have decided to change back to three rounds and no finals.

We see a high quality of driving during the first two round so by making the following decision to change back, your driving standard will be improved as there no pressure to win a race as the round are timed racing.
In making this change we will run a night of finals at the end of the league.

 We will soon be starting a new league

 Marshalling!!!!!

Over the last few weeks it has been noticed that after racing people are not marshalling or they are standing together talking and not watching for crashed cars.

If you fail to marshal or stand together we will deduct laps from your best race!!

Please check your Car before racing to make sure there’s no screws hanging down underneath as this causes rips in the carpet and shortens the life of the carpet.

A little reminder that the building we are using is not ours so please treat it with respect, as we want to stay here.

**************************

We now have the archive working

**************************

As you are aware there have been a few problems with the race program and delay with the lap counting  well we have a new version of the program and the delay has now been sorted out.

A little surprise for Mick kelly on Wednesday night was his reincarnation in the form of the lord of the rings wizard after his landing skill on top of a car so for many who have not seen this check out the picture link below

Lord of the feet

**************************

We would like to thank Barry James for organising The Bowling Event. I am sure we all had a very good night in spite of a few minor problems, which Barry sorted out for us.

We are thinking of running a stock class for touring cars. You will have to run rubber tyres and a 27 turn motor.

Have a great Christmas and a happy New Year

We raised £134 last night in our raffle. All proceeds go to cancer care.

Thanks to all who took part and especially Mick for selling all those tickets.

A big big thanks to Barry for organising the karting last night (Thursday 4th December 2003). We all had a great time even though I'm sure we're all aching. I took some photographs, which I'll be putting on this site very soon.

See you on Wednesday.
