Hello
General information for those planning to attend the final round of this year's championship.
Hotels.
The Premier Inn, North Wolverhampton, adjacent to Jct 2 of the M54 is the most convenient hotel, both for the club and the meal.Ease of access makes it attractive although they rarely have the cheap rooms offered by other Premier Inns.
Book on line or phone direct 0871 527 9184 (10p/min)
There is a B/B close to the club and closer to the meal. I have used it for visitors, Wheaton House Tel no. 01902 428841.It is on the main A449 and subject to noise from passing traffic,through the night.Its cheap around £32 B&B.
Alternatively the club lounge is available for the night,could sleep 6.
Meal.
Have provisionally booked Wing Wah Chinese restaurant for the Sat.night. 7.30. £14 p/p. They have increased the range of food to include Indian.Visit their website for more details, www.winghwah.net
Can not quarentee there will be no birhtday parties being celebrated.
Wing Wah is only a 1/2 mile from the hotel,on the A449 towards Wolverhampton.
Club Opening Times
Sat. 11-5pm Tea and coffee available and a selection of cobs. Will organise a run to the local Chip Shop for lunch.

The track has been extended and resurfaced with a fine, textured surface.
I will post tips next week when we will have a better idea of tyres and gearing.I will also get pictures organised,once the final touches have been completed.
Please let me have your intentions as soon as you can .
We are looking forward to seeing you all again.

Hi Folks
For those of you coming to Wales & West and Slot It Challenge at Wolves in October Malc has asked me to post a picture of the new dip and "Tyrer Curves" complex on the Wolves Intenational track. The cars do get airborne into the dip and look fantastic coming up the hill through the curves. The shot is taken from the drivers podium looking right towards the end of the main straight.
Cheers
Phil

Interestingly if all 6 rounds had counted towards the championship then Shaun & Jack would still have been 1 & 2 but Lewis Gough would have been 3rd, Lee Andrews 4th, James Lymer 5th, Julian 6th and Lee Green would only have wound up 7th.
as Sean says its never easy to come up with a system that pleases everyone

Cheers

QUOTE The rules are that you count 5 from 6 , so the ones who do 4 or less are never really going to be in it , so what you said Phil is pretty irrelevant because we are allowed to drop a round

Lee, I'd hate to be irrelevant so I've done what you suggested as it only took a modicum of mathematical effort.


QUOTE Obviously the best thing to do would be to at the end of the year have those people who do 4 or less taken out of the overall standings and and promote the points to those that were beaten by these people that did 5 or more rounds

Revised seniors table dropping out drivers who completed 5 rounds or more and moving other drivers up in the points

As you can see it makes absolutley naff all difference to anyones final league position except for those who were outscored by people who only did 3 or 4 rounds - it certainly makes no real difference to the top ten
