Event Crail Raceway GLF Meet 25th October!

[DodgyBastard]

I'm pretty sure it's pay on the day instead of paying up front.

[320touring]

I only have 2 burning questions now!!

 

1. are any of us going to be able to meet up on the run up there on the afternoon / evening of the 24th??

 

2. Do we pay the entry on the day or in advance??

 

For me this is a definite now anyway as my diary is totally free and clear but I will need to change the timing belt first (already got it) and get lots of veg from our good friend will as all out now!

 

Anyone up for meeting around Stockton somewhere for the drive up to the scary and cold north?

 

1. I can possibly meet you chaps in the borders for a hoon- what way are you coming up?

 

2. Pay on the gate. Pay your £10 to get in, then pay £15 when you sign on to race.

[DodgyBastard]

It's so far away, but I might get to drive a Proton, but it's cold up there, but I could take the Rover down the strip, but it's got a gearbox with a reputation for exploding, but it would be fun....

 

 

Want to, but probably won't.  I hate sleeping in my car and I hate sleeping in tents.

 

If you do come along, You can take a Proton to Crail/down the quarter mile and leave your car at the unit until you get back...

[Richard]

Does it suffer from the Edam-hewn top engine steady* bush that the petrol 850's are plagued with?

 

The top bush is indeed buggered. Luckily it's one of the few parts on the V70 that isn't either different or broken.

Racing then:)

[skattrd]

Just a thought as I was looking at booking a hotel* for the Saturday night, how about a meet up somewhere on the Saturday evening for a meal or something?

If so where? I'm guessing not Crail

 

*I'm too old and like my creature comforts too much to kip in my car, plus I'll probably be the boring which is too small to sleep in.

[The Moog]

I am likely to be staying at Crieff the night before so unlikely to meet up with you guys.

[Richard]

I should be up for that. I'm not sure where though.

[KruJoe]

We need Scotty's recommendation of somewhere to get a feed near FOAD_Towers if that's where most of us'll be kipping. We can bring our own beer, I'm sure.

[320touring]

Food the night before could be a plan- I can head over no problem!

Pass!

 

I was going to suggest that Richard thought of somewhere but I see he's out of ideas too...

[derskine]

Waxwing, ha!

[DodgyBastard]

Waxwing, ha!

 

I'm not sure they sell food...

 

Although it's got a fair selection of tat...

What do we reckon re dining then?

 

If we can find a decent pub grub place locally then I'll book a table.

 

Failing that there will be some sort of generic beefeater type place I'm sure.

 

so who would be up for grub on 24th (say 7.30pm?)

 

please copy the list and say if you want to eat.

 

cheers!

Buuump

 

Please confirm food and camping:)

[skattrd]

Even though I suggested the meal I probably won't make it. I'm looking at a 6 hour drive and have stuff to do during the day, before setting off, so later arrival time likely.

I'll take bets on you turning up;)

FOAD WERX 2.0 is five minutes away from Cowdenbeath Racewall if anybody fancies going on the Saturday. 6-10pm (it'll probably finish earlier because it's only F2, Saloons and Minis) and £13.

 

If anybody wants to go for a meal the simplest option is probably one of the Identikit eateries at Halbeath.

 

I won't be camping, not when I have a perfectly good bed to go to.

[skattrd]

I'll take bets on you turning up;)

This time last year I was driving to/from Dundee every week. The boring now has cruise control so the journey should be even easier ...

 

What are the odds on me making it Neil?

Good to see the reigning GLF champ David Fowler will be there to defend his title. However 320touring has lots of experience at Crail, and Will Cleland will be hoping for a better showing from the 205 than at York

 

Plus us newbies will be wanting to do well

Turns up but doesnt run 5/2

mumble mumble work etc cant come 7/1

Turns up and runs 14/1

 

[skattrd]

Turns up but doesn't run should be 1000/1

If I'm making a 700 mile round trip there's no way I'm not racing.

 

Put me down for a pound (or cup of tea) on turns up and runs, I have a cunning plan

[Tartan58]

Anyone coming up from south of the river best bear this in mind:

Should hopefully make food but not far enough away to suffer camping.
