Would be great to see some of the Falkirk guys here. If there's anything I can help with, give me a shout.

It took me around 3hrs to get up to Falkirk for the on-road meeting last season but as you know it just depends on the traffic. Once you're over the bridge it's a straight run down the A1 though.....

There's another thread on oOple with a load more info:

I wouldove to do this, but being the weekend after oople i'm not sure if funds will allow. Hopefully can sort something out.

Im up for it.

Keith, on central booking what do you do? What boxes do you tick. There doesnt seem to be any distinction between the days. I would like to run 2wd class on both days. I take it that its £6 per day per class.

There's effectively two rows on the entry screen on Central Booking, so if you want to enter 2wd only, you just click one 'book-in' tick box and then choose '2wd' on the drop down box.

If you want to enter both classes then you click both 'book-in' tick box and then choose '2wd' next to one and '4wd' next to two.

I'll see if I can get something on the screen to make it clearer as I must admit it's a bit puzzling.

We're running both classes across the 2 days so the format is slightly different to a Regional but similar to something like the oOple race.

Thanks again,

Keith.

Sorry, forgot to say, it's just £6 per class for the whole weekend :) so if you just want to do 2wd the total is £6.

Did you book in already. If you've booked in on both of the rows for 2wd and it's charged you £12, let me know and I will get it refunded.

Thanks again,

Keith.

Thanks Keith, I've booked in on only 1 row, so that should be ok. Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to this. It's nice to see something on for the north of the country for a change. Cheers.
If there's any other guys from Falkirk who would like to take part in this event please book in on Central Booking. £6 for a weekends racing, you cant get better than that.

Nice one Kenny.

Hope the weather is like this in August!

Are you too camping?

Cheers,

Keith.

[KC]

Im not sure what we will do Keith.
Need to speak to everyone that is travelling down in the group and see what they think.

[orinoco]

We might all be able to go in one car depending on if Jamie and Joanne are going or not. Cant see them going at the moment so should be fine.

[Keitha]

Great to announce that double Euro champion, Tamiya and Muchmore driver, Lee Martin along with National Associated driver, Paul Bradby will be coming along to race at the Buggy GP

[KC]

Looking forward to it Keith.
I still need to book a travel lodge.
Can you suggest one near the track?
