As you all may or not know, it is our clubs 'home' round of the East Anglian Championship 2010.
Whether you intend to do any more of the 3 rounds or not, you are all more than welcome to race next saturday and score points for our club against both Southend (GT Raceway) and Norwich. Sorry for the delay in posting and really looking forward to organising my first meeting! I'll try and think of everything but don't hesitate to ask any questions. I will be opening the hall about 8am. There will be Hot food and drink available all day. Track will open at 9am for practice, racing to begin at 11am. Rules are anything goes, motors upto 25k, Ortmanns recommended. Each driver to race on each lane twice with best distance score in each lane to count for total score. Drivers then seeded for rest of meeting as per qualifying position. 1/4 Finals, Semi-Finals, Final. Lane choice in Knock-out rounds refers back to qualifying. Adults £5 Children £3.50 If you can give an indication of whether you're coming would be brilliant. I'll post directions to club later. Hope to see you all there!

Vic,
Just got back from a great day at Tendring. Lots of good racing, good company and good food. Looking forward to the next round. This was my first experience of a plastic track and it wasn't as bad as I feared! I actually had some grip! See you soon... |

Many thanks to host club Tendring, Vic who organised the meeting and the cooks for an excellent day.
Close racing all day and congratulations to Bobby who was too quick for all of us. The 2nd round will now be hosted by Norwich on December 12th (originally GT's round) and round 3 will be arranged in January, date to be confirmed. -------------------- Negative criticism usually comes from those who attempt nothing more in life than "sitting on the fence".
