  1. The Standlake 2007 meeting was on 9th April according to their points archive.  20 car turnout.  That's the only date listed on their website so not sure if the meeting was moved or if a later one was cancelled.

    328 was a race winner: http://www.wurzle.co.uk/photos/standlake/2007/9-4-07/pages/100_1034resized_jpg.htm

    As was 473: http://www.wurzle.co.uk/photos/standlake/2007/9-4-07/pages/100_1155resized_jpg.htm

    Given the layout of the photos on that site I'd say 328 was heat 2 and 473 the final.  Cannot see a photo of anyone else with a chequered flag. 

  2. Mine arrived this morning just before I left for work.  Looks a very impressive book and now that I have tomorrow off I can spend a bit of time reading it.

    Made me chuckle when I saw the foreword / introduction was written in 2002.  Definitely a serious project!

  3. Standlake - you bring whatever food and bring in you want. There is also no bar there. They are obviously viable without the overhanded approach. Plenty of other tracks manage just fine.

     

    I have no problem with tracks taking a 'Don't take the mick' approach to food and drink, but forcing people to buy a grotty burger and warm bottle of Diet Coke or go without, is not the way to do it.

  4. What I want to know is, if the 1 x sandwich and water only rule (as it reads), is being enforced, then what options are they going to provide? What do people who don't eat meat get? Chips cooked in the same grease as the meat? A packet of crisps from the track shop? No thanks.

     

    Also, the daily recommended water intake is something like 8 pints. Given how hot the weather is at the moment, it should be even more than that. Are they going to let someone bring a 5 litre bottle of water with them?

     

    Don't bite the hand that feeds you to pay for your shiny new pit gate.

  5. Just back and to sum up the weekend......BRILLIANT !

     

    The racing was top notch, the camping was fun, plenty of new friends made from both sides of the water, the odd beer or 17 !!!!

     

    Just a word of thanks to all the staff at Raceway Venray who were very helpfull and friendly ALL weekend - a creidt to you and well done.

     

    Finally - hit of the day actually came in the efftooz when James Riggall 527 absolutely drilled H82 into the turn one fence on day 2 in the fourth heat. I was cheering for the brit and got a few very stern looks from the dutchies but hey "thats Stock Car Racing" .....a GREAT HIT !

     

    ( I gave them a few choice dutch words back dont worry !!)

    I would hardly call a deliberate and unprovoked follow in a "great hit!"

  6. Does anyone in the area (Northampton / Milton Keynes / Daventry) have space for me to keep a Sierra for a few weeks? Have 2 cars but only have room at home for one of them, and struggling to find space for the second.

     

    Anyone have anything at all it would be a huge help.. let me know.

     

    Cheers
