Hi Queen - you can count on me! Tell me, will the Boy Blunder be there?

I'd love to stop by again, but as I'm in the US and have to work that day, it will certainly be difficult.

The weekend there last July was too much fun and I wish I could come back! Some day, some time. Hopefully rally cross.

If you can make it "across the pond" we'd be mighty pleased to see you again.

Hi Gnomax. I think boy blunder will be there. 73_Gstock. You will have to get your self back over here soon.

Am I the only one to have seen the alterations to the Lydden circuit? The run-off at the Elbow is much wider so expect to see even more late-braking attempts there. Widening the run-off meant moving the bank back so that the entry to the loose at Paddock is now a tad narrower in my opinion. The work was nearly finished when I saw it last Sunday.

Also, the old green marshals bus has GONE! (that came out wrong - I didn't mean a bus for elderly marshals of a peculiar hue...)

**Snapper Baz** · 16 Mar 2005, 20:52 (Ref:1253728)

I bet that was a job and a half...I did hear that Upside down bug was doing it up as had thought he could run it in one of the semsec meetings as there must be a class for it somewhere!!

Upside Down Bug · 16 Mar 2005, 22:19 (Ref:1253775)

The Big Boss (aka Pauline) wouldn't let me race the bus, imagine rolling that into the elbow!!!!! I doubt even SEMSEC could find a class for double deckers, but you never know!!

ScottDay · 17 Mar 2005, 17:11 (Ref:1254398)

Double decker bus racing.........................................makes u think!

Indeed it does ! I have this image of a confectionery bar with wheels......or I have missed the point?

**Snapper Baz** · 17 Mar 2005, 21:45 (Ref:1254604)

Actually...it was UDB that missed the point a few years ago...braking point for the elbow that is...Tee Hee!!!!!

Upside Down Bug · 17 Mar 2005, 22:39 (Ref:1254657)

You're not funny Baz! But one day I will return......maybe in a Mars bar, or snickers........

Hepatic · 18 Mar 2005, 00:19 (Ref:1254720)

no, no. You'll want a twirl or possibly a drifter....

**Snapper Baz** · 18 Mar 2005, 16:36 (Ref:1255307)

...or would that be a "role O"!

Hog · 21 Mar 2005, 17:46 (Ref:1258145)

I think the confectionery that best describes UDB's roll would have to be:

Crunchie......

Upside Down Bug · 21 Mar 2005, 18:44 (Ref:1258204)

Ouchie

Gnomex · 21 Mar 2005, 19:59 (Ref:1258276)

Queen - thanks for the tickets - arrived today. Only 6 more days to go.....

Who else is up for a dose of sideways action? And no, Hog and UDB, don't even go there... I meant sideways racing!

Upside Down Bug · 21 Mar 2005, 20:14 (Ref:1258287)

Don't spoil my fun Gnomex!!!!

Queen · 21 Mar 2005, 20:28 (Ref:1258304)

Well Bug your fun could well be will be short lived I think. Yet us minions will have lots of fun.

Upside Down Bug · 22 Mar 2005, 23:01 (Ref:1259282)

I'm realy looking forward to Monday. Can't wait for the season to start. See my posts on the rallycross forum, but be prepared for in excess of 50 races and 103 entries.

I think the startline team managed to grid and start 54 (or was it 55) races yesterday. Seeing as for each race this also involved going down a flight of 8 steps, and going back up those 8 steps afterwards, this must have amounted to 864 (or 880) steps up and down in total. Bet you wanted to know that?

Whatever, all I know is my b***** knees are cream crackered today! But as they say, no gain without pain... You could fork out a lot of folding paying a personal trainer for that kind of workout. I can see it now.. the latest fad - the Lydden Lifestyle Fitness Regime!

Great meeting on Monday - well done to all concerned in organising and running the show.

sss · 30 Mar 2005, 15:39 (Ref:1265398)

not a bad meeting all in all,

however one comment, would it be possible for race control to stop the habit of asking 'if anyone has any reason not to start say so now' type thing. not very good if your radio battery is flat and you have marshals working on the track. whilst you can see most of the circuit its just not the best practise, in my opinion i hasten to add.

Queen · 30 Mar 2005, 16:14 (Ref:1265425)

Sorry I am late. A big thank you to one and all. You will all be please to know Bob Ward has a stiff neck but ok. Phil Chicken wants the swelling but not the pain.

bigted · 30 Mar 2005, 18:05 (Ref:1265532)

Gnomex, is that why you were begining to slow down towards the end of the day? :-)
