Cadwell Park Season openers 18th / 19th April

David Owen · 5 Apr 2009, 17:33 (Ref:2434427)

Just a quick note to remind everyone that Cadwell Park opens its cars season on Sat / Sun 18th and 19th April.

18th sees BRSCC running the show with the not to be missed HSCC meeting on 19th.

Many of you will know that Mr Watson Senior (John) has now stepped down as Chief Marshal for Cadwell and I am struggling to follow in his esteemed shoes. One thing I can guarantee however is that the "Watson Standard" will still be applied to all Cadwell meetings on my watch.That standard is - guaranteed lunchbreak and reasonable finishing time. I am limited in my weather forecasting to what I can glean from the internet (sorry about that).

There is still plenty of time to volunteer for either or both meetings - all grades and levels of experience welcome and catered for.

Free tea and coffee at sign on too.

If you can help please contact me via ususal channels - (marshals.org.uk, PM or contact details on BMMC website).

Hope to see you all soon.

David.

, but if you hang around to long you might get a job changing tyres lol.

So that accounts for one day, guess you are marshalling the other? (I can send some tyre changes your way at lunchtime

)

ah but with practice and 2 races that only accounts for an hour on the Saturday,

could always marshal hairpin and then have the car ready to pick up the field ready for races we could all ways ensure you get back to hairpin to resume the marshaling

We only have the one race on the Saturday, sadly its not a double header for us. And its the fields (and walls) that im trying to keep it out of

Will have to make sure I wave to you all on the slow down lap

David Owen · 9 Apr 2009, 10:35 (Ref:2437276)

Tickets for the HSCC on the 19th are winging their way to you all at the moment. Entry list is looking good with some 160 so far.

Still plenty of time to volunteer for either or both days.

Dean Watson · 10 Apr 2009, 10:36 (Ref:2437972)

The tickets for Saturday will be in the post very early next week

This meeting features:

BRSCC alfashop Alfa Romeo Championship (DH)

Dunlop TVR Challenge (DH)

Motorlawyers Fiat Racing Challenge (DH)

Ma5da MX5 Championship (DH)

so some cracking racing in the offering as the minis seldom fail to please

Micky.H · 10 Apr 2009, 12:35 (Ref:2438031)

Got my weekend pass out from the 'missus', so i'll be there for both days. Just wondering if 'brickkicker' will remember which bit to stay on - black or green??

Dean Watson · 10 Apr 2009, 14:24 (Ref:2438087)

And I only spun once (and kept it on the black stuff) and better still no one saw it

Richard Sneader · 10 Apr 2009, 17:26 (Ref:2438190)

Will be there in the BRSCC EA rescue unit. Looking forward to my trip to Cadwell. Sunday's HSCC looks good grids. And its also my birthday on the Sunday too.
What are the BRSCC grids like?
If anyone asks I will be 21 again this year. Keeps happening every 12months. Strange!!

Stack · 11 Apr 2009, 07:40 (Ref:2438453)

Hope the Fiat grid have a few more than they got last season.....

Dean Watson · 11 Apr 2009, 11:54 (Ref:2438546)

I still havent had an entry list so cannot comment, what I can say is the Mazda MX5's have had 2 races dropped and the other 2 extended to 25 mins.

Tickets went in the post today, with timetable included

Think we have about 20 for the mighty minis and a few less for the supers, spoke to a Fiat driver today and they are slightly improved on last years grids but they were not sure on numbers yet.
If anyone is interested the timetable and finals are at http://www.brscc.co.uk/force-downloa...18April_09.pdf

they do have a couple more than last year but I do not have the exact figures

However the rest of the grids are looking good with high teens on the entries.

I received an entry list this morning that was at least 8 days out of date

Hi,

Winter breaks seem to be getting shorter every year!

Unfortunately I'm extremely unlikely to be able to make this weekends entertainment because of a fast approaching deadline for my uni work. At times like this, I do question why I have got back into education at my age!

However I will be back at the circuit (in my new overalls) shortly to see what accidents (or gates) I can attract!

So I hope you all enjoy yourself and keep safe.

Good to hear from you Mark, hope all goes well at the Uni, and we look forward to seeing you at the Park asap.
