Howard - You would have been caught by the mailshot which is going out to all members this weekend. I did half the membership list yesterday (alphabetically by surname) and the second half will go out later today. Unfortunately because of your name you will always be the last to know.

Do the Organisers have any idea of a programme yet? It would save some time on the day if I can set up the races in the software beforehand.

I'll consult with Barney - We had originally planned fun races - Maybe something similar to last year (short race on the short circuit and longer one on the full circuit)?
I'd skip the time trial in favour of some fun races. 
The TT seem to produce a lot of crashes last year as well!

Right then:

We need to allow time to fit in the promised fun races so the BHPC points races will be as follows:

Race 1: "Slow" Race - 15 Minutes + 1 lap Anticlockwise on the short circuit

Race 2: "Fast Race" - 15 Minutes + 1 lap Anticlockwise on the short circuit


Race 3 - "Slow" Race - 30 Minutes + 1 lap Anticlockwise on the full circuit

Race 4 - "Fast" Race - 30 Minutes + 1 lap Anticlockwise on the full circuit

Pardon me for sticking my oar in but anticlockwise does that not make the bottom hairpin a bit scary as last time did we not race clockwise on the full circuit for this reason, just asking !.

The hairpin is much more interesting going anticlockwise - apex late and straighten the exit (and don't blame me if you crash Ouch)!
Right Time - Right Place - Wrong Speed

I've only ever raced it anticlockwise but happy to go with the majority. At Curborough now. Just finished setting up for the pedal car race. There is now a cut-through by the chicane that we may use for some of the fun races. :o)

There is a fairly large pothole on the hairpin - We'll make a decision on whether to race on that section or just use the top circuit later this morning. 
Weather looks good. Just about to crawl out of sleeping bag. :o)
Come on down folks!

Thanks to organisers for a great days racing. Loads of fun. Off to see if my camera caught the evo k toppling over at the top corner in race one.
