OCTOBER 7^TH CLUB CHAMPS.

This is the one meeting of the year when there are trophies up for grabs, mates become the enemies and we all want something to go wrong with someone else’s kart and not theirs for a change, the gloves are off and we don’t want to give away our overtaking strategies or the quickest way to get around that tight corner, we even think twice about lending that spare accelerator cable or cable tie in case we might need it ourselves

                                NOT!

In all the years I’ve been involved with this club it does not matter what’s up for grabs or who’s racing it’s always the same, someone needs help to get going or needs a spare part the great thing with this club is the way someone is willing to help, not many race clubs can say that and mean it, I can’t see this month being any different  that’s why it’s such a great club to be part of.

GOOD LUCK to everyone entered may your driving be rewarded on Sunday.

We will be racing in our old paddock for the next 4-5 months.

Don’t forget to take all your rubbish with you after race day we could end up paying the farmer for a dead sheep or cow if they eat our rubbish.

 

TRACK SETUP.

The committee will be setting up the track on Saturday 6^th at 10am and would be grateful of any help from other club members to lighten the load.

 

We also need help on the Sunday with flag marshals as all the committee will be racing and have a lot to do on the day to keep it running smoothly.

 

Lap Scorers are the most important people on the day, no lap scorers no points so if you can help with this the more people we can get the easer it becomes.

 

THE MORE HELPERS WE GET THE QUICKER WE WILL GET THROUGH THE DAY, (we have 40 races to get through).

A BIG THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.

RACE DAY

Please have your club membership renewal form filled out ready to sign in, the first table will take your membership money and form where you will receive your new log book.

The second table will take your race day fee and sign your log book ready for the scrutineers.

PLEASE BRING YOUR OLD LOG BOOK WITH YOU FOR SCRUTINEERING.
