Lydden, 11th September

Paul Newns · 27 Aug 2004, 19:34 (Ref:1079463)

Can anyone tell me who to get in touch with about the BARC meeting on 11th September? I'm due to marshal there but I'll be at Goodwood from Thursday next week and I wont be home between the two meetings. If my passes dont arrive before I leave who do I need to get in touch with?

Gnomex · 28 Aug 2004, 15:07 (Ref:1079956)

To be honest you will be OK if you turn up at the gate in probans. Lydden is very laid back about these things.

Rod Birley · 28 Aug 2004, 20:05 (Ref:1080150)

You could contact Paul Philips. There is hopefully going to be a larger than average Saturday crowd, mainly because of the short circuit content. This meeting will also feature the final round of the stock hatch vs stock rods challenge (currently both teams are level on points), Have a look on www.stockcar.co.uk or www.shortcircuitmag.com

Rod Birley · 31 Aug 2004, 16:40 (Ref:1082865)

More details are now on the BARC website at www.production.barcse.no-ip.com/Home.php just click on the highlighted bit and you be there.

Just been told Chris Bird is now marshals contact for BARC S/E meetings. Phone number 07808 390288.

Paul Newns · 1 Sep 2004, 22:03 (Ref:1084227)

Thanks for your help. I'll give Chris a call. I had a look at the website and it looks like a good meeting.

Rod Birley · 2 Sep 2004, 17:21 (Ref:1085030)

Hope you can make it, there will be a BBQ at the end of the day..not too late.

A BBQ - terrific! Are you going to roast a Hog? (sorry "Hog" - don't take it personally!)

Hog · 3 Sep 2004, 13:23 (Ref:1085921)

Oi!

I'd really hoped to get back in orange for this event - even if it was a one off for me this year. But the Law of Sod has struck and I may be reduced to a spectator role.

I'm surprised no mention has been made of the banger racing that is on the bill for the day?

Rod Birley · 3 Sep 2004, 21:38 (Ref:1086360)

The stock rods and stock hatches have been told to behave themselves.
Marshals will have to sign on twice if they want to do both parts of the meeting (i.e MSA and ORC). Of course you can just do one part, but everyone is welcome at the BBQ.

Oh I wish I could be there that day at the friendliest little circuit in England.

Instead, I have to work at my pay job for twelve hours playing Homer Simpson

TWELVE hours Mr 73_Gstock - you jest surely! I can't play any game for more than 2 hours.

May I publicly say a "thank you" for the comment that Lydden is "the friendliest little circuit in England" - we do our best with the basic facilities but we like to think it is the camaraderie that makes the place.

Nope, no jesting here. I get to sit in front of three computer screens watching blips, bops, bings, and whistles for twelve of the longest hours you'll ever experience.

And a hearty "you're welcome" from the country club known as Mid-Ohio!

PS Happy Birthday as well! I'll toast one to you tonight when I get back home!

Who provides the donuts.......doh!

Rod Birley · 7 Sep 2004, 08:00 (Ref:1088801)

Good news is the races in the morning are filling up: 35 MGs, 20 sports/saloons, 12 (could do better) single seaters. In the afternoon: 20 for the stock rod vs stock hatch challenge, 23 RDC hot rods, 28 super rods, 26 super saloons (including a V8 hearse), 15 lightning rods/outlaw hot rods. Rumour has it a TV crew will be attending....wash those overalls now, comb hair etc!!!!!

Rod Birley · 7 Sep 2004, 08:26 (Ref:1088819)

Still need more marshals, please phone Chris Bird...he is back from holiday now.

Gnomex · 7 Sep 2004, 11:23 (Ref:1088917)

Haven't spoken to Chris Bird yet but I'm definitely coming.

Rod Birley · 8 Sep 2004, 21:14 (Ref:1090321)

Good news. Despite the karts having to withdraw due to a clashing fixture, we have arranged for a demonstration from two Late Model Nascar type cars.....now I wonder what George Polley and Barry Lee are up to this Saturday.

Rod Birley · 8 Sep 2004, 21:16 (Ref:1090323)

Ah yes the gnome was pictured "on post" at the corresponding meeting last year, welcome back (home).

Rod Birley · 10 Sep 2004, 08:14 (Ref:1091668)

Another late addition is German hot rod champion Volker Timm with his Audi TT.

ScottDay · 10 Sep 2004, 19:38 (Ref:1092259)

Can anyone tell me when signing on starts?

Cheers,
Scott

Rod Birley · 10 Sep 2004, 20:39 (Ref:1092299)

Practice starts at 0900 so I suppose you guys will have to be there by 0815. If you are staying for the oval races you will have to sign on twice, there will also be a short briefing at lunch time.

ScottDay · 10 Sep 2004, 20:42 (Ref:1092304)

Cheers Rod, you there tomorow?

Rod Birley · 11 Sep 2004, 20:51 (Ref:1093229)

Thank you to everyone in orange for their help today. Hope you all enjoyed the variety, and we finished by 5.30 after running 28 races. The stock rods just won the challenge but it was very close, the rallycrossers are getting better at this oval stuff.

Rod Birley · 11 Sep 2004, 20:54 (Ref:1093231)

Sorry I missed your question Scott, yes I was.Not only driving but also helping organise as you probably guessed,
