[Dan Hughes]

According to the BBC the weather is going to be kind to us on Sunday.

[col7104]

Looking out the window i would beg to differ! However just checked the Met office out and it's true, high of 15 degrees celcius, 3 degrees lower than last sunday (which was very nice) but still good :). Checked out the barometer aswell and the pressure is rising quite rapidly, no massive dodgy looking cloud cover approaching on the sattelite images either - should be a cracker!

[Paul_U]

Hope the weather will be ok, however here in northapmton about 2-3 hours ago, it was snowing :eek:

Does anyone know the top 5 in each class from Southend?

[Bonny85]

I would just like to say thankyou for all those yesterday who gave up their time to run another very good meeting which was just as good as the first round at west london (maybe even better as the weather was great in the afternoon too!!)

Well Rob i cant tell you the top 5 in every class but i can tell you the 27t class top 5

1. Ricky Copsey (tq as well)
2. Andy East
3. Mark Elms
4. Adrian Bidewell
5. Richard Tebbut


In the mod class Mark Fuller TQ'ed (Setting a new track record in the process) and won, while Stuart Collard won the 19 turn class also from pole position.

[whoopass]

GO! Ricky Copsey, looks like it could be down to the wire in 27T......

[MikeS]

Full results will be on the STCC site later tonight, with the pictures and report following within a couple of days later.

[LisaKeen]

Cracking meeting, and great weather, lets hope the rest of the rounds are at least as kind.

Great track with some very close and exciting racing.

Well done guy's and girls.

[prodriver]

Mark

[whoopass]

Not too sure I can race this weekend, but wil be at Stafford on the 23/24th for the nationals. Aldershot will be good this weekend as the Mod guys will be practising for the following Sun.

[Robz]

Well done ricky mate,
I think you'll have to PM me your setup, after all i helped you at West London and on PM.

You and Mark said that Andy could be beaten at southend and you were right!!!!


Cheers Mate,

Rob

[MikeS]

Round 2 results now up on the STCC site (http://www.clubmanscup.co.uk), Club Championship points also updated.

[Oliver]

Could someone post the overall qualifying results please? Looked on the STCC sites and they only have the indivual rankings of each round - not a final qualifying order.

Thanks

[prodriver]

Cheers Guys, The car was okay. Ill sort that setup out for you mate!! who said u needed a spool again ;)

Tried the spool and it was rubbish diff all the way round Southend. May not of had the fastest lap but 1/10th of a second behind Andy. I ran a p2k2 think I should have ran the monster then would have had more speed..

Cheers

RC

Might go aldershot or west london... where you guys going?

Bring on the National!! :)

[FTR]

[Bonny85]

OMG!!!!! Andy East only qualified 3rd????!!!!!!

thats down to the speed of mark elms and ricky copsey on the day. When you think that andy east still got within 5 seconds of his own track record it makes you realise how well the other two were driving.

[FTR]

Seems like they have done their homework and got an A (not as in final) for their efforts. Well done on your efforts as well Mark.

Paul

[mark Fuller]

It has paid off specaily for Rick the work that Mark and Rick done before the meeting. As Rick said earlyer me and Mark Elms think he could could ov gone faster if he put his monster in he would ov gone a lot faster. It must be them new fast motors you and Mark are running a Rick

Mark


ITS ALL ABOUT THE POWER A RICK AND MARK! ;) LOL

[prodriver]

Putnum power.. :D the effort did pay off but well just have to see how we get on this year. Hopefully well do okay top 5 at the nationals and I'll be happy.

[MikeS]

Not sure how accurate this location is, as it comes third hand, but I believe the track lies off/adjacent to the Kitchener Road in Chattenden Barracks. However I am sure someone from the Maritime club will correct this and let us know the exact location/directions if it is wrong.

[prodriver]

Thanks Mike!! :)

Mike what would you normally change on a car in order for it to carry more corner speed? could you give some idea...
Thanks

Ricky

[MikeS]

...brake less on the way in.........

[mkdean]

Maratime i have never been their

Mark

Hi Mark, do you know if they are racing outside yet then, as on the club website their is o calendar posted yet for outdoor racing? We are hoping to go down next week if theirs a meeting.

[adyb]

I have also had look on Maritime website and ask the question, when will there be any meetings.

If I remember from two years ago the track is on a un-used M.O.D site. There is or was a gate across the entrance so you can't park by the track during the week and I think they had rules against using the track on non race days.

I might be wrong :rolleyes:

Cheers Ady

[mark Fuller]

Well i have heard their is chat about having another round at Southend if we cant find out were we are all going lol ;)


Mark

[MikeS]

The image library has now been updated for the Southend meeting - they are displayed in the ramdom image window on the right of the screen, I have now added the ability to just click the image to cycle to the next picture which are displayed randomly. There are over 30 images in the library, including some amazing "in air" shots.

Race report, with pictures, should be up tonight.

[MikeS]

Darryls report for the Southend round is now online on the STCC website (http://www.clubmanscup.co.uk)
