Who is able to make the rally ? Im asking because we are able to park inside but we will be limited on how many so car sharing will be a must . Chris is going to be hiring a van for the track and will be needing a hand to load it up on the Friday the 3rd . I have asked ribble vally if they want to join in to . The money we raise will be given to the Marie Curie Cancer Care the the north west stages are supporting . It will be FIVE POUNDS to race on the day . The club cars will be there as well . If ive missed any thing let me no .

im 100% up for going and can help load on the friday and in any other way i can, with lame jokes n sutch

ill be there defo

Im hoping to make it this year - no month-long paid trips to Madrid this year

I should be there too.

Are we running on the carpet?

Yes Paul we are taking our indoor set up down . Chris is getting a van to load the carpet ect up on the Friday night ready for the Saturday . I have had some people get in touch about my post on opple as well manly about tyres as ive put no spikes or pins .

Thought that would raise a question or couple.

where is your post on oople? am I being thick, or have you hidden it? :p

Its on ribbles page .

An interesting comment from Carl about the additive damaging the carpet. I'm not sure how old the carpet was when we got it, but I think at least 10 years and most of it running foams and additive. Maybe that's why our carpet appears sensitive to spikes.

Our old carpet was 10-20 years old which had always had spikes on it. It was a bit rough, but was absolutely fine for buggies, I think we only changed it for touring cars .

I think the biggest downside to pins/spikes is the actual tyres themselves wearing out.

My order of choice for tyres would have been 1:cut spikes 2:pins 3:foams (as I voted last year), if additive is a problem maybe I'd put pins first, we could limit the sets per season. Anyway we're not opening that debate now are we!?

As for this meeting it seems a simple choice between numbers and potential carpet wear on the day. I think sticking with the original decision is probably the way go, unless we really want the numbers and can actually handle them on the day (i.e. parking).

I think the members of the club are ok parking inside again . There are car passes that we can have for the over flow . I have put car sharing will be needed . Race control will be out the back of the van on the day . I dont think the debate will start again unless we buy new carpet and im not sure that will happen for a while as we need a lap top and new transponders

I'm a definate

me too since it's walking distance for me!
if anyone thinks they fancy watching the rallying on friday evening then crashing at mine let me know and i'll see how hard it is to convince the wife it'll be sleeping bags on the floor though

I'm up for that Rick, can you see if the wife is ok with that?

Friday night sounds good...
