Many thanks,
Chris and Richard

Chris – 10L for a 12 lap dry race )plus warm-up and red flag contingency) is a bit marginal. However the BBC Forecast for Saturday is now for heavy rain, so you should use less fuel in the wet

Gemma, have you been doing your rain dance again

[Robert Morris]

Steve What the betting on gemma getting the new set of wets?

Thanks Steve, you're right it will be close.

If BBC says rain then I'd leave the rain tyres at home - I've given up with them!! Weather.com says cold but dry for Saturday...

... oh dear, just looked at the Met, better take the wets after all:

Fair point Chris, Tris will tell you how good I am at weather/tyre advice

Class win?

[Robert Morris]

Gemma car got the potentail i think she got more ability than she gives herself credit for.
My poor car needs me to fit my new swifty unit but i wanted to keep for next year.
I reckon it must be Geralds turn to win. I will keep my fingures crossed for him.

[purplemini]

the rain dance is working!! fingers crossed
should make for an interesting race!!
i dont believe in team orders although my mum might give some!!

[Minicross424]

Stop dancing Gemma!
I go and buy 3 new slicks and you lot make it rain!
Back to the rallycross tyres, however i have new fronts of them too.........

Jem after the track day (last session) my mum gave me orders!!! so will leave her at home next time

Tris thought you raced a mini not a plastic pig

[Chris_w]

I did once see a Reliant Kitten racing at Lydden.... but that has 4 wheels so no good to Tris!

[Minicross424]

Less cost if you run only 3 tyres!
I got 3 new fronts, the rears seem ok.
Chris have you got wets or are you on minicross tyres like me?

[Chris_w]

Finally got hold of some full wets, haven't tried them yet, looks like Saturday might be the day....

[Cujo]

BBC now saying light showers, I think it's going to be another one of those Lydden days where the tyres get swapped a lot.

I'll bring my wheel gun and race jack in case anyone needs a hand
