i heard rumblings of this as i beleive a few people asked about it at the last race. without wishing to overstep the mark i believe the answer was yes for a couple of rounds as long as there was enough interest.
as far as interest goes id be up for it even if it means coming down from swansea.

Yeah we are talking about.........  Wink

It could have about 3 rounds, no uplift - push up yourself (unless the weather allows it - the farmer gets upset with damage to the track in the wet) and maybe running the timing all day - so no 'practice' you use the best time of the day (which will be limit of the number of push ups you can manage!!)

All just ideas at the moment - still lots of detail to think about - watch this space!!

timed practise sounds good as i for one always have faster practise runs than race runs Cheesy push up doesnt bother me too much as i have to do it anyway at my locals as im sure most of you do. with no uplift does this mean the entry fee will be less?

Yes - if we run the uplift it would be extra on top - but please don't ask me how much yet (the total for the race & uplift certainly won't be any more than it is at the moment (£30)

Could be good fun - we'll have to chose the tracks with care as no one wants to be going down in the wet on there arse on Devils Dyke or Rumbles Revenge (our new secret trail soon to be finished!)...  Tongue

Will there be any winter 4X, or will that cut the track up too much? No uplift hassles with 4X either...

Also a possible yes - the really big limiting factor to any winter event is the top field/car park in the wet - remember RD1!!

round 1 sucked in the wet, i was my first race aswell but i came 5th so was pleased!
i think the winter series this year would be good cos the cloud cover series might not be happening for some reason

the parking problem on round 1 was because there was no one directing the cars. i got to them bottom no spaces and was blocked off so couldn't drive out forwards. then got stuck reversing out. this problem could be solved easily with some more orgonised parking
