There is a group of dedicated people at the Littlehampton club and I am sure once the lighting project is complete it will be A1.

Unfortunately we were down a light last night. There should have been another one in the middle of the back straight. The plan is for the perimeter lights to be permanently installed. It will take time (and money).

Racing

Wondering if anyone would like to try a different track layout Friday night, there are a few great options CPLUS posted, current layout is also enjoyable.

The numbers will be down this Friday as most 13.5 drivers will be attending the Vic. state titles in Bendigo. Not sure if this makes it better or worst to try a different layout?

Not that I'm even involved but If you are running a series for points why on earth would you change the track in the middle of the series? Play with new layouts on practice days and maybe implement a new track for the new series. Changing does not make any sense to me.

Better as there is less complaints to listen to from those that dislike the challenge of change

I'll be dropping past Friday night to become a member of the Club and get a key to practice IC Saturday but would only have the Mod tourer to run to make up numbers, O'well.

Good luck to those racing at the Vics enjoy yourselves.

Hi Wildmanracing, I have a nitro be good if you let me know when you are practicing be good to have a run with a few guys.
Bring your mod Friday night, have a practise run be interesting to see how the faster division is drivable under lights.

Crap. I'm registered but can't race now.

Sorry fellas.

Will have to go round on Sunday. Time for the 1/5th scale to get a run for the first time this year.
