Blue Nose is your team in for the karting race???? Or was it a joke as I have not got a PM from you

blue nose · 3 Jan 2004, 23:50 (Ref:826940)

Does it have to be marshals and racers or any one involved in racing

Redracer77 · 3 Jan 2004, 23:53 (Ref:826946)

anyone, it was meant to be for championships to challenge each other but to make as much money as poss it can be any team

blue nose · 3 Jan 2004, 23:57 (Ref:826951)

Sorry for going off topic, but I couldn't resist posting this snippet from one of my newsletters :

ALPOGOY FOR THE SLLPIENG IN THIS OAPL TLEEOCM NWSELETETR

"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is that frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe."

Your digging them up now Diz.

I used to be Dislexic,
but I'm alright then.......

Diz, Having spoken to Michael Edgar last night, I have found out that he is considering doing a race in the BRSCCNW this coming season. If he does it then I will probably do the same as it will cost no extra to bring my car over at the same time.

I know that you are bound to secrecy until Thursday about the race dates so I will give you the perfect scenario for us.....A race meeting at Oulton Park 7/8th August or 14/15th August as the cars will be over here anyway for Silverstone on July 31st.

Two Dogs mentioned to Michael that he should try to come over and do a race in your championship......What do you think?

JimW · 6 Jan 2004, 11:10 (Ref:829281)

On a slightly related tack (well closer than some of the above

) has anyone thought of racing without timekeepers?

Why do we need times? - only to make a grid. Paying for the kit needed to provide a timekeeping service such as we currently enjoy probably makes up quite a bit of the entry fee.

If drivers could agree some way of making up a grid, then all you need is lap scorers/judges to determine the final order over the line.

Anyone can buy their own electronic timer if a team stopwatch is not good enough for your purposes. Indeed I guess that most teams have them already.

I understand that some club racing is done on this basis in New Zealand.

Just a thought.

Regards

Jim

PS Nothing against timekeepers.

If anyone can remember how frequently we used to have to wait for them before the introduction of the current equipment and compare that with how rarely it happens these days, it will be clear what an improved level of service we get.

Brilliant idea.

Does anyone know the testing dates for Oulton and the costs of a days testing ?

kartingdad · 6 Jan 2004, 18:06 (Ref:829688)

Generally the day before the race. Last year the days testing was only £195 + £50 for a garage.

diz · 14 Jan 2004, 18:34 (Ref:838288)

BTTT

kartingdad · 14 Jan 2004, 23:58 (Ref:838627)

Diz, your BTTT buttons got stuck, whatever the BTTT means!

Walshy · 15 Jan 2004, 00:04 (Ref:838635)

I've PM'd him on that one.

I think he is trying to type with one hand whilst holding a glass in the other(!)

;-) (Hck)

kartingdad · 15 Jan 2004, 00:18 (Ref:838647)

So what's new - I do it every wednesday night (our private 'motor club' night) with a few mates.

I reckon it might be he's typing with his nose, with a glass in one hand and a cake in the other hand. In the circs., as usual he does a cracking job. LOL.

Walshy · 15 Jan 2004, 00:28 (Ref:838663)

I am going to have to get up to speed on these abrev's.
BTTT? LOL?

I think it could be slice of cake in each hand and a straw for the drink.....

kartingdad · 15 Jan 2004, 00:49 (Ref:838685)

And how do you type then? Use a dictaphone type thing?

Walshy · 15 Jan 2004, 01:05 (Ref:838702)

Big toe.........
