Barham - wet weekend

[jo90]

Looks like it might be a touch damp this weekend. As such is there ever any trouble getting into the track when it is wet (Im thinking my car is a touch lower than most and I don't wanna get stuck) ?

Racing should be fun with a damp track, bluetack anyone :D

There is a rather steep slope into the track area i think your car may stuggle getting down/up the slope its only small but it may catch the bumpers. The main area of pitting is gravel which if i remeber right is quite bumby, there is grass to pit on though.

Yep Pauls got it, the entrance has a bit of slope going into it, and also pitting area is a bit bumpy

and the Rain :\ .. usually means it will be cold but dry.. lets hops it is cold and dry :D

[jo90]

The way it was last weekend was supposed to be light showers, nah ahh. I guess we better start crossing fingers

[part-time racer]

I had a look on uk weather for sunday's forecast. Only a 10% chance of the wet stuff.
70% on Saterday though.

[MikeS]

I will be at the track on Saturday from mid afternoon onwards. I really do hope we have a relatively dry weekend ;)

[jo90]

Well Mike as long as it is just damp that will be ok, it is when puddles form a la Bashley 2006 that it becomes a pain.

I don't want it to rain as this is only my second round of 6 im doing , so need a good showing.

Metcheck.com (which has proved remarkably accurate in the past... to the extent of predicting the time of the brief shower we had at Eastbourne :eek:) suggests it will be clear and dry all day on Sunday at the moment.

I have to say, it's been threatening to brighten up down here over the last couple of days, so with any luck the weather will hold.

[jo90]

They did say today was going to be bright and clear, and it is wet so perhaps the weather is piling it on and will clear then, fingers crossed peeps

[MikeS]

Yes, we will have some......... ;)

[Matt Pocknell]

Thanks Mike. Looks like the Weather is going to be nice afterall......

Matt

[jo90]

Yep, I just checked metoffice.co.uk, and yes it says the weather is clearing. I guess the extra rain we had this mid week drained the sky a bit, super sweet !!!

Mike - can youput aside a set of tyres for me mate :)

[Xrayed]

lol Why :rolleyes: Its not as if theres going to be a shortage john lol

[Bonny85]

no when he says put aside a set he means of the good ones, have you not being buying the good put aside tyres all year or are you still buying the regular ones :eek:

maybe thats why we (southend) are kicking your (Maritime) arses, lol.

[Matt Pocknell]

Are there actually any differences?

I have noticed this time that my tyres have the corally logo imprinted on the wheel, whereas all my others hadn't.

I guess its just a small update or something similar.

Matt i noticed the same thing, the wheel does seem a lot softer, i was suprised that the wheels seem to have changed.

[col7104]

Looks like you may have accidently been supplied with a set of "Mike's Specials" there ;)

[stueyR]

i take it the new tires are the only ones you can get new now if not it will make this championship a tipicle who has more money to buy tires that would be a shame oh and i hope southend are peparing to hammerd round barham i cant wait he he

[part-time racer]

I think we will do ok Stue. :)

[MikeS]

There is only one type available, that I promise. We have now changed over completely to the new rim, the tyres and inserts remain exactly the same. Tyres are a better fit on these rims and easier to glue up.

[jo90]

They are only pulling your legs guys, the tyres are all the same, it is our driving that is better ;) hehehehe
