I would like to say that I can be present and counted on for all no matter what the dates/times but we all know who is the boss in my house! :) :D :? I have family coming in as well so things get rather tight after the end of Nov. Regular Thursday nights are not the problem but the Saturday may have some objection from the hierarchy.

Guys,

I will be out from 30th Nov to 3rd Dec, but you all can go ahead and plan. You need the majority.

Guys,

Here's what the calendar looks like for the rest of the year:

Image

Tomorrow's event is marked in green. Ramesh has indicated that that he will be unable to make it between 17th and 27th November (shown in orange). Arden can't make it between 30th November and 2nd December (shown in reddish).

Please let me have your suggestions as to how many events after tomorrow's that you can attend and when. Once I have this, we can finalise the 2017 event calendar.

I have a big event at work on Friday 8th December so if we race on Thursday 7th I wouldn't be able to stay too late. Other than that I'm open to all other dates. My suggestion, taking into account both Ram's and Arden's plans and also the fact that we missed racing last week, would be to race tomorrow and again on the 16th (if Ram can manage the 16th) and to have the end of year event on Saturday 9th December.

Hello Gordon and others,

That's a very cool looking chart and must say how easy you make these sort of designs happen.

Anyway as you'll know for the past year or two, I have a commitment helping to care for my parents ... and over time it has increased. Especially at night into morning times. So (for me) attending race nights is kind of a hit and miss situation - maybe only until the ent hour providing things are looking in place.

However I would still like to make this (Racing Days) suggestion ~ considering time-tables of all other persons.

To Close Off 2017 with a complete racing rounds/dates and on RD245 a simple drink-up/cutters lime at the end.
  • RD243 Thur Nov 09 - HS, APC & VS6075
    RD244 Thur Nov 16 - RC, SC & F1
    RD245 Thur Dec 07 - MP, RGT & RLMP
Then Open Up 2018 with (an easy to plan) RD246 Special Event ..!

I remember events being done like this (most likely in a stress-less way) and a brilliant one indeed ~ if I do say so myself :-)

Have great day,

Luke

Luke, that's a pretty good suggestion. I have no problem with it, however it would be nice to run some IROC races too, possibly at the last event (245).

What do the rest of you guys think?

Our final official event for 2017 will be on Thursday 7th December for our next scheduled classes, Rally Car, Slot.It Challenge and F1. I'll make the usual formal announcement on the preceding Monday.

If there's an opportunity to do an unscheduled event before the new year, I'll put it to everyone and we can do it if we get enough people to attend.

Good morning to my slotcar racing fraternity :-)

From the looks of things ~ learnt to be very happy helping care for (I dubbed) my silver-haired parents in these T&T slowdown years ... So know I will not be attending any racing events for the balance of the year.

One may think it's a bit early making such a decisions but it is what it is ...
