On the way back up to the main area I get circa 100mph in mine, but you'll not be looking at the speedo, its only because my Power FC records it!

I see where Russ gets his worry beads polished. :-D

The course layout varies slightly with each organising club. A layout should arrive with the finals, when they arrive.

Despite the map, walking the course is a must.

Another useful tip. Don't go rushing out to first practice, unless it's number order. Go stand by the back of the burger van and watch the first few runs.
Good advice Gerry!

And on the Convoy run, myself, Gerry and Trev can passenger and give some hints and tips if required....as long as those in B5 promise not to beat me :wink:
I know thats what happens when you were in the cubs, still had a call frm Chris Dean of Greenbelt and he has e-mailed the details so I know what the course is like now some quick bits and some technical bits so should be a good challenge
