2013 Newcastle RC Grand Prix 20/10/13 (Rd 3 NSW/ACT 12th Tour) (EP ONR)

I've just finished consulting with Glenn about this. You can camp at the track on Saturday night. There are a few things you will need to be aware of though:
- There are toilets and running water, but no showers.
- Power will be available, and there is a kettle and minimal kitchen facilities in the club house, to which you can be given access.
- You will NOT be able to have a log fire. The track is 200 m from the airport and only 50 m off the flight path*. A fire could be distracting for pilots.
- You should camp inside the fenced area, so it would help if you arrive before close of practice at 4 pm.
- You will not be able to practice after the 4 pm cut-off.
- In the morning you'll have to reduce the size of your area to a normal pit tent size.
* Larger jets don't land through the night, so the noise shouldn't be too bad.

We have our first Modified Touring entry. Welcome aboard SMA driver Simon Nicholson.
Now all we need is 5 guys for him to race against. Don't be shy Sydney guys (or Tamworth of Queensland). This will be a good way to wind down after the NSW States, a one day meet the Sunday after. Or you can make it the "Real State Titles*" if you couldn't give up your Bathurst weekend.
*Discalimer: Everybody is encouraged to go the the State Championships. I can't, I have to run 2 club meets so I can just race this meeting, but everyone else should go.

Unfortunatly Tyler won't be able to make it to this event (year 12 exams). He would have made another 2 entries.
