Anglesey Circuit Updates

Mark Mitchell · 7 Feb 2008, 20:30 (Ref:2123511)

This question has been asked in another Forum on here but mainly from a Competitors point of view.

Has there been any further work done over the winter at Anglesey?
(So, from a Marshals POV)...Marshals Posts, Number of Toilets etc.

I know there was talk last season of providing some sort of marshals Posts.

Like you Mark, I don't know but I guess some big improvements will need to take place before the Fun Cup meeting later in the year?

Mark Mitchell · 7 Feb 2008, 23:06 (Ref:2123660)

Why in time for that meeting Steve? Is that a biggie?

bluebeard · 8 Feb 2008, 12:53 (Ref:2124056)

weren't we told the only reason there were no proper marshal posts last year was because they were temporary to make sure it all worked and proper posts would be built over the winter........ i sure hope thats happening after last years weather!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DO recall Terry telling us about something being constructed for Marshals up towards Post 8, but don't know of anything else.

Is that r-r-r-r right Granville?

sland · 9 Feb 2008, 20:26 (Ref:2125095)

I was there on 31 January, i didnt see any marshals posts built or being built

fazza · 9 Feb 2008, 20:37 (Ref:2125099)

Terry was at Oulton training today and told us that they had started today.

This is true, but I spoke to him when walking back to the car park and its not all the posts unfortunately. It sounds like its just the "main" ones that are manned for track days etc. eg. I think post 8 is being done but not 7 or 9.

I to hoped it would all be done for this year.

I would have though the fun cup would have wanted pit garages?

I was under the impression that a Marshals Hut at Post 8 would be sited so as to cover posts 7,8 & 9 in one go!

I may be (Probably) wrong, but I'm sure that's what Terry said last year!
(He also promised me a Plasma TV screen in there too

)

Ermmmmm 7? 8? 9? which ones are they? the numbers change from meeting to meeting but all the posts do have NAMES!

At least they've got some kerbs/rumble-strips now (as seen from a recent trackday video).

Thanks. Interesting to see the circuit and lots of kerbing. Hope it keeps our hooligans under control but doubt it at Radar.

No other facilities visible.

Where's Radar? Is that the new name for the 'corner with no name' after Peel and before Tom Price Straight?

I'll be in the pits at Anglesey on the 18th May - any tips I should know?

Yes no matter how hot or cold you may think the weather will be take artic and tropical clothing just in case Sunglasses to stop the grit and muck getting in your eyes.

Thanks, but I have marshalled before - so know to take T-shirt. sunblock, sunglasses, sun-hat, cold drinks, full wet-weather gear, gloves, thermal underwear, balaclava, woollen hat and flask of hot coffee.

I just wondered if there was anything different here?

fazza · 10 Feb 2008, 22:19 (Ref:2126056)

Sorry didn't meen it to sound as if you hadn't marshalled before, I meant that Anglesey is one of those places with its own weather system and not to be supprised if it snows in July!!!

No problem - I have found that all circuits have their own weather systems and especially those nearer the coast

There seems to be a couple of references to 'snow' within this thread and I think we must put the record straight......it's 4 years since we had what you would call snow at the circuit.....horizontal rain?? Yes! but not snow.

As far as the redevelopment is concerned, why not by-pass the unreliable 'rumour-mill' and phone me at the circuit office if you want the facts(www.angleseycircuit.com for the number). For the record we have recommenced kerb construction today and will start post construction tomorrow starting with 'Rocket' which will only be used on trackdays to cover 2-3 post areas, on race days it will be used as normal with all posts manned, the MSA would never grant us a licence for racing on the basis of single post coverage for multiple positions. On another note can I offer a big "well done" to Andy Holley and the team for the training day efforts....a very impressive turnout.

I just thought this quote was worth repeating
