ok very early but whom will be doing the plum pudding meeting and how cold does it get lol dumb question.

Sheila M · 11 Nov 2006, 15:14 (Ref:1763476)

I'll be there! It can get VERY cold - two years ago it was so cold it was considered too dangerous for the bikes to race, because of the frost under the tarmac!

Wrap up well!

gravel_monkey · 11 Nov 2006, 17:43 (Ref:1763528)

Lord Summerisle · 12 Nov 2006, 15:09 (Ref:1764274)

whats the time table usually like? was considering it

**Asp** · 12 Nov 2006, 15:36 (Ref:1764283)

If I remember rightly:
2 car qualifying sessions
Bike qualifying
(Bike races) - That's the one I'm not sure about...
2 car races
Repeat of bike races
Repeat of car races
Repeat of bike races

Car races are one each for Caterhams and Single Seaters
Bike races will include sidecars, I think if the other is split depends on the number of entries.

Oh, and I'll be there

gravel_monkey · 12 Nov 2006, 18:00 (Ref:1764332)

is that for definate asp, or is that just going on last years?

Ian Sowman · 12 Nov 2006, 22:03 (Ref:1764490)

Bike regs are:

http://www.neweramcc.org/club/pdf/mp26122006regs.pdf

I suspect that the multitude of bike races will be amalgamated into a smaller number (there was only enough for one lot of bikes last year, and not really enough for one lot of sidecars, but they carried on anyway).

Car regs are on the Midlands page of the BARC site.

Going from the last few years.
What's racing in terms of cars is definitely set, but as Ian says what will happen with the bikes isn't certain.

was a great day, post 9 i think it is, at the oak tree is very interesting. mass amount of caterhams and sseaters trying to get in the/out the hairpin and then when its finishing bouncing on the track and setting all the barriers up on the bus stop for the bikes and sidecars, it keeps you nice and warm all day!

vw_nut · 13 Nov 2006, 14:29 (Ref:1765016)

well thats what you need ona day like that really stuff to do lol soudns fun yay

Pitlane Eddie · 14 Nov 2006, 22:29 (Ref:1766268)

Sheila - I'll be there again this year. The laughter keeps you warm, seeing Santas racing their bikes. The mince pies helped too. I wonder if any riders will lose their sidecar riders this year!!! See you all there!

I was flag Marshal on post 10 the elbow and was the only car marshal on post. We had about 12 on post they done the bikes and i done the cars quite easy to deal with. Great day was had by all on post.

gravel_monkey · 15 Nov 2006, 18:57 (Ref:1767082)

same on the bus stop, 4 incident, 2 car and 2 bike. i was suprised with the bike marshals as they didnt fancy having to deal with any of the cars and they insisted on eating pork pies all day. got away with it though and a had a good day with them all!

CombeMarshal · 15 Nov 2006, 21:01 (Ref:1767170)

Didn't realise the Plum pudding was a bike and car meeting, thought it was just cars.

Redracer77 · 16 Nov 2006, 15:27 (Ref:1767829)

I might bring the Gulf F4 out after it's winter rebuild. Hoping to get that finished by mid December but it is currently a bare chassis. But if ready it will need a run out to check it is all okay.

The Fat Clerk · 16 Nov 2006, 18:01 (Ref:1767943)

It's a mixed meeting, run jointly by BARC & New Era (Bike Club), there are 6 bike races & 4 for cars, 2 for Caterhams & 2 for single seaters.
You'll all be most welcome.

Stack · 16 Nov 2006, 18:10 (Ref:1767955)

More water/snow/frost angels at Shaws Dave?

Redracer77 · 16 Nov 2006, 23:06 (Ref:1768124)

the F4 is used to snow after round 1 at Mallory this year!!!

gravel_monkey · 1 Dec 2006, 13:14 (Ref:1779466)
