      | WSCC Bristol & Bath Events 2005 JANUARY Saturday 29th AO’s meeting with Westfield management at the factory. Chris to take Bristol & Bath area’s ideas to AO meeting on 29th Jan at the Westfield Factory. FEBRUARY Thursday 17th - Area Meeting at the Cross Hands, Old Sodbury First area meeting of the New Year. Discuss events programme for New Year, collect “slush fund” (£5) contributions, and confirm WSCC membership details. MARCH Sunday 13th - Annual Karting Event Race against neighbouring WSCC Areas - Hosted this year by the Cheltenham & Gloucester area, to be held at Winners Karting, Wroughton, Swindon (http://www.actiondrome.co.uk) TIME – Arrive around 13:15 (starts at 13:30) FORMAT
– 1.5hr Endurance race. A team of drivers must do as many laps as possible in the 90 mins of the race. That requires swift driver changes and tidy driving. Every moment banished to the pits for a stop-go penalty wastes valuable laps!! So for those novices out there – you could be the saviour of your team as it’s usually the good ones that get into mischief!!! You have been warned!!! There'll be a minimum number of driver changes to make it fair.
COST - £120 per cart (£30 each for 4 drivers or £40 each for 3 drivers)
Extra information: - We NEED 8 Karts to make up the grid (10 karts max) - Will be finished before 4pm (then off to the pub for a quick drink!)
I WANT TO COME – WHAT DO I DO?
Send Tony Sighe a cheque for £30 each (£40 each if you’re in a team of 3) by Friday 25th Feb at the latest.
