The committee have decided to split the Ministox into three heats, with the top twenty having to qualifiying for the Final,so here is a
rundown on how it will work, and when it will come into effect.
1: If there are 20 or less Ministox booked in, there will be two heats, a final and Grand National, as there is now.
2: If there are 21 or more Ministox booked in, they will be split into three heats, with each driver racing in two of them.
3: The drivers will therefore have to qualify in the top 20 of points from both their heats to be able to race in the Final.
So there you go. There is another rule, which is in the rulebook, that MUST be used...
Scrutineering tickets must be in to Shirley (Booking in office) by 11:45AM or you will not race until the Grand National or Banger Mechanics as per rule number 21
04-05-05
Any Driver who is knocked out, or made groggy, in a race & refuses St Johns treatment, will not be allowed to race
for the rest of that meeting
There is a 5MPH speed limit (walking speed) on the track and in the pits, apart from actual races.
In the practice laps you will recieve a yellow flag on the last lap, followed by a red flag to signify the end of
your practice laps.

ANY MINISTOX that, when weighed, is under 712KG (as specified in the Rule 99e) WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RACE. No exceptions.

We need reliable flag marshals.. Its a paid job at the track and we need people who will be at every meeting, barring holidays etc.
If your intrested contact either myself or Norman.
We need lap scorers for this season too, if your up for sitting in a hut with a window with a grandstand view of the track, and can count,

Junior Bangers meetings have been sorted, they are as follows.. 1st May, 10th July (Metro meeting) and 27th Dec.
Talking of Metros, we want to have a ten on ten with the Police again this year, so we need people to volenteer to supply
Metos ready to race for the Police with flashing lights and Hi Vis lines etc.. Or just white with a red 'jam butty' stripe
Please let us know if you are able to help.
Ministox will be on the track BEFORE the drivers meeting, rather than lining up.. Its in order to get the meeting off
to a quicker start. Note all harnesses will be checked on the track before the race begins.
ALL DRIVERS MUST BE AT DRIVERS MEETINGS, no exceptions.
Banger drivers, good news, crush tubes are to be allowed.... But they are not compulsary.. They are optional.
