circuit
Summary of the circuit.
As you will see from Ali's footage. interesting circuit, lots going on, only restbite is a longish straight with a kink in it, i imagine a tow
would be critical in a locost . the rest of it a mix of about 11 corners all slightly different from each other, makes a slight change from Mallory!
The Paddock was too small but we all fitted in, problem is all the not so locosters with Bouncy castles and monster trucks took up all the room.
Definitely bring your own stuff, only things you could buy were beer and food and tyres!

Kits
Summary of my weekend
3 races, 5th, 5th, 6th and second in class in all. Learnt a seconds worth from the second session on friday to the final race, Started on
18.5's and finished on 17.4's. Hated the circuit to start with then sat myself down and told myself I was 30 bhp down and stop being a
prat and started to enjoy it. Had a great battle with a variety of class C cars and have nearly repaired to evidence, off for a spray on Thursday once
i have finished with the filler and resin, oops! at least Jim Goodwin was OK about it and the official blamed the wrong car!

Hi the results are up.
LOCOST RESULTS
RGB RESULTS
KIT RESULTS
BIKESPORTS RESULTS
A quick mention for some of the racers off the forum. Stevezoid #39 in locost. had a very impresive days testing on the friday. Followed by his
highest qualifying position so far followed by his highest race finish so far.
Also in locost SIMES43 #43 no suprise to see him at the front as usual But with two more wins he's looking good for a championship win.
MAWMAW #71 in kits. Considering you had a STD engine and where 30hp down in the class. You held up well And had a good race. Although i think you had
to work for it. ( Ps did you find your slave battery )
And finaly Prodgers #7 in RGB. Now i did not get the chance to see much of the RGB racing. But others said you had a good race . But i see the
results show another two convincing class wins. And 5th OA in the first race and a podium 3rd OA in the second race.
Cheers Matt

I had a disasterous weekend. The power cable to my fuel pump broke during the first race and I had 3 laps of
''throttle-stuck-open'' in the second.
Great track, but there didn't seem to be a lot of grip around. The wide track made overtaking easy and gentlemanly racing possible. Another
meeting with NO damage to the car.

101 Race drivers book of excuses number 43.
I missed the last lap board by looking at the wrong marshalls post on the pit wall for the last three laps of the first race while leading waiting for
it to come out, gifting Dec the win!
Sadly I have done it before.........
