IMPORTANT: DATE CHANGED TO THURSDAY 18TH INSTEAD OF WEDNESDAY 17TH
Ignore reference to Wednesday below.


Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for racing and practice/testing from 7:00 PM this Wednesday, followed by qualifying and racing. Scheduled classes are Porsche Cup - 6 races @ 30 laps, Modified Production - 5 races @ 30 laps. Please bring your MP cars ready to go. Here's the proposed schedule:
  • 8:00 PM - Qualifying followed by racing. Drivers not ready when called to grid will be replaced by any standby drivers who are ready.
  • After racing - Packing up and liming/old talk (but not too late!).
You can see all the class regulations here and the general racing regulations here.

Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.

Ice Brigade: Luke B. (1 bag please).

Luke, sorry... I should have put this in the announcement above. Debbie is leaving for England on Thursday afternoon, so we can't race at FRC that day. I would normally have cancelled this week since I have a crippling pain in my right ankle that may actually pre-empt my racing, but with Peter here I definitely don't want to do cancel the event. I can barely walk but can watch the racing from a seat if its not better by tomorrow.

No probs Gordon but I really think its best you cancell in your interest because you may only hurt yourself more... Plus, you should spend time with the wifey B4 she goes England :)

I know Pets is your good buddy and all but he ent no 'Top Gun" @ FRC. hehehehe

Hey Peter when you could beat me at FRC I will talk differently :lol: Anyway thanks very much for that neat looking "multiple" precision screw driver/penlight set you gave everybody :D

Hi Gordon,
If you'd like help in setting up the track for this week's racing, I'd be happy to come earlier than usual to assist as Jonathan is away so I just have myself to arrange and can get out much sooner.
