Stickers arrived.. they are a bit on the small side but I reckon they look good

As mentioned previously, I will give each competitor 2 to stick on their car.. so I have 8 spares left.. gene wants some.. ian wants another one.. will dole the rest out at the event.

there may be some bad news
it looks as though or third team may not be able to run
as the deadline was missed with the final entry
this is my fault and i accept full responsibility , i was waiting for a toymods member to confirm if he was running or not ,
i will lodge an appeal but i dont hold much hope
sorry guys , i am so pissed off , that i have decided not to be part of organizing events after the six hour this year
full refunds will be given if the appeal fails
i may even offer up my spot

..Oh shit......that sucks.......and Ian don't be too hard on yourself.....certainly would have been an honest mistake and I am sure people will understand.......hope you don't step away from the organising side of things also as you are pretty much responsible for a good 10-12 people becoming active in club level motorsport and I know everyone would thank you for that!

[GeneSPIDA]

Yep, I'll have one or two of those stickers, if you have enough.

Thought it was worth mentioning that Shamo is on track - The club car is alive.

I'm tuning a few issues out with mine - But the car's going well overall.

6 weeks out from race day!

A reminder that Eddie is organising the stickers
Slim is organising the Shirts
and Trang has lunch covered - be sure to pay her ASAP

The pit garage is available Friday 3pm - 5pm. You can get your car ready for scrutineering and leave it over night.

Track opens at 9:30am Saturday.
The track is open for approximately 6 hours of practice which equates to 1 hour roughly per driver, of course that depends on how long it takes for drivers to go through scrutineering - one car at a time from each team and remember you have to give your team mate the scrutineering pass for the offcails to look at your car!

Meet at the Race Track Saturday Morning at 7am.
Garage number yet to be released.

Tampered motorsport trackday at Winton on Sunday 26th of September. Would be a good day to get some laps up and see if your car has any flaws that need correcting before the event. *I certainly found a few at the test and tune last Friday. Be there!
