Result!
-
Would you normally fit a start gate with a shovel :santa_grin:
-
That's looking to be a really good track, can't wait to ride it.
-
Whats that big tall concrete building with all the bin lids screwed to the side in the background??
-
Well, wait no more!!
It's open now, and free to use!
I will be opening the track Saturday (Christmas eve) for a club only session. But hey - you are all in the club anyway (Aren't you?) ;)
This is just to stop the local kids - cos the council won't pay anyone to open it Christmas eve. So we might as well have a session of our own.
I will be there from about 10AM, but only for a few hours. (After all it is nearly Christmas, and my family want my attention too!)
Remember though no helmet - no ride!
Also our 1st club race will be on 21st January, the day before the Norwich opening, we just want a quiet(ish) day, but will inlcude an old school race if we get enough interest.
We have use of the pavillion, so registration will be indoors, and we have full canteen use so should be selling hot dogs n burgers tea coffee etc.
Let me know here if you fancy popping down on Saturday. (Or if you're up for racing on the 22nd!)
:D
Merry Christmas

I can't see the pictures as image servers are blocked at work. :(
I recon you might be talking about the old medical walk in centre that is just opposite the track.
The council actually said that they'd have liked us to have the building, but because they have no planning permission it has to be taken down. Real shame cos it woulda been perfect - we could have had parties and stuff in it too!!
It's been un used for about 2 years - the only person to use it is the security guard who stays there 24/7 for some unknown reason.
-
I'll be up for the Race on 22nd, old school of course. Are you going to have some relaxed rules like Hersden or are you going to be more rigid. I rekon a lot of the Hersden guy's will make that one. I'll put a word in on the hersden Thread.
-
Anyone else goin down Saturday mornin then?
-
If theres gonna be a little crowd. Im up 4 a session.
-
Remember the 1st race will be on the 21st, not the 22nd.
This means it will be held on a SATURDAY.
:)
I will be down there with the key at about 10:00 on Christmas eve (Might be a tad earlier...)
See you there!
:D
-
I have been laid up for god knows how long so i need to loosen up a bit and Saturday morning will be just the job.
-
heres a wide shot across the track

Will speak to Darren and 20yrsago for the 22nd cos we were coming
for a practice day anyway before the Reg, looking good.
-

-
It's ok I've squared it with the wife and the Sunday is fine with me. :santa_grin: :santa_grin: :santa_grin:
-
Looks as though I will be able to make the 21st as I have the weekend off of work and my cruiser needs an outing.
-

Yeh I realise that, but i should be a 1 off occasion, and as it's our 1st race we don't want it to be too big!!

Little chance of that Rooonga, your fist race is going to be a big one. Every one will turn up just to see how the track races and what the gates like... remember we're racing for regional ranking points there soon.
I bet you get alest a 100 riders, youve had the messageboard properganda going for a while now, every one in England knows about BAD!!!

The reason it doesn't compute humpy is that you've forgotten how to. ;D
