Briskoda Clubstand @ Castle Combe Spring Action day - 25/04/09

[BulletRob]

Hmmm, well the weather would indicate that real early on in the day it will be VERY wet, but it also seems to show that things will improve from fairly early on in the morning. I still think the track surface will be wet though, even if it dries up around 9am.

3am - Rain coming in over Devon

6am - Rain right over Castle Combe pretty much! :thumbdwn:

9am - Rain appears to be heading north and away from Bristol area

12am - Rain has kindly f**ked off, but too late to save the Brisky track session probably. At least a dry afternoon to make the clubstand look sexy in the sun!

Was going to make an early start from MK..... Am tempted now to leave here later, arriving at castle coomb at about midday.... 1st job.... wash over the car!!

[devonutopia]

I would check BBC satellite images tomorrow. That's still a "long term" forecast in my eyes.

Ah, still come early and enjoy the fun. I know if it's raining early on I will probably leave my stand stuff to assemble when the rain clears. Will go watch people slipping & sliding on track instead.

:rotz: I hate having to dry the car

Just dug my crash helmet out, must not forget the ticket!!

[devonutopia]

I'm bringing 4 or 5 microfibre cloths to help.

[yegnold]

Should I bring the waffle weave drying towel and some quick detailer then? :(

[Lloyd55vrs]

on the met site its went from heavy rain and heavy showers to light rain and light rain showers

abit less poop i supose but not fun

[devonutopia]

Yep - This forecast (for Bristol which is near enough) suggests light showers early on, with sunshine coming from about lunchtime. The BBC radar images still suggest a late morning clearance of the rain.

[Jabbasport]

Does anyone off the top of their head know the fuse on a fabia for ASR/ABS? I wanna pull it for the track session, wondered if anyone knew before i go searching

awesome cheers dude!! shame there pitted though from the winter salt!! they'll need to be sanded down and brough back up after tomorow!

[apd007]

Just looked at accuweather, they're forecasting "a little rain" too. :(

[devonutopia]

Any rain will just be early on at least. It should clear up for the most part of the day, and for me, getting that best clubstand prize is more important than the track session.

[thewilfmeister]

siiigh no track session for me :( i'll be coming along but a damaged boost hose means theres no point in going out there! if anyone wants to buy it off me on the day then they can! :(

well at the moment there is the very small chance of getting to pro alloy (1:40mins away) and fitting it there and all will be well but just hope they have it in stock and waiting to hear back from them

I'm trying to decide if it's worth putting a coat of collinite on...thats over the two coats of wax and dodo red mist

Edit - Can see now! Wow shiny!!

[yegnold]

Can you guys PLEASE not make your cars look too nice? I've got to do a 60 or 70 mile motorway and A road journey and the back of my car is going to be black with motorway or road crap if it is raining. :(

[Lloyd55vrs]

im sure we can sort you out mate if u get all grubby :orb_bath:

aslong as there is a tap there it will be fine, i'll even stick a bucket in the boot
