PIT LANE RUMOURS

Record Entry for the New Milton Grand Prix
At the beginning of May we were expecting to have to cancel the junior race as, even though the senior entries were exceptional, only three junior teams had registered. However, everything turned around during the month with the juniors flooding in. By 1st June we exceeded ten entries which made the junior race viable and by the time of the pit draw on 10th June we had a total of 14 junior teams which will make for an excellent race. At the same time the senior race numbers leapt up to 37 exactly the same as raced in 2007. This means we've had a total of 51 entries, 14 more than 2007 and theres still another month for this number to rise! Amongst these numbers we have three cars travelling down from Rugby, two junior teams from our twin town of St Mare Eglise, three ladies entries, two scout teams, two school teams and two teams from our local Army Cadets, not to mention a car built by the engineers from Penske Racing (yes the Indycar team) and a whole raft of wonderfully built masterpieces and misfits. It all set for a fantastic day on 12th July!

Grid Draws
The BBQ on 10th June was well attended with a number of cars turning out for inspection. During the evening the draws were made for senior and junior pit positions and the hi tech "Wildfire" drew pole in the senior race whilst the army cadets 6 Troop KRH car Cut 'n' Shut drew pole in the junior race. Click on the links below to see the complete grid lineup. Note that if you still have not entered and wish to do so, we are still accepting entries but late entries will now be placed at the back of the grid. A BIG THANK YOU to Cliff Polton for providing the venue and Mr & Mrs Pilley for their exceptional culinary skills. The Race Directors dog loved the burgers :-)

Race Schedule Re-Organisation
Due to the large number of entries we've been forced to rethink our plans for the day. The Junior race will now start at 12:30pm and run til 2:00pm and the Senior race will run from 2:30pm to 4:30pm. The briefing for all drivers will take place at 11:30am in the Memorial Hall. In the interests of safety all drivers must attend this briefing. Drivers can sign on and take there cars for scrutineering any time between 9:00am and 12:00pm. Cars may be left in the Parc Ferme for safe keeping by the race stewards. Pit changeovers between races will no longer be necessary as a separate pit area will be established for the juniors in Station Road, just south of the traffic lights. The senior pits will be in the normal location north of the traffic lights. A more detailed race day schedule may be found here and a new race briefing may be found here.

Pedal Car Photos 2009
Apparently, there's some funny goings-on in garages and workshops around the area and indeed, further afield. Strange contraptions are emerging from all sorts of places and we've got the photos to prove it. Click here to see what you're up against!

New Lap Counting System for the NMGP
Have you ever wondered how your laps are counted so acturately as you race round the track. Well it's all down to the hard work of the lap counting team and a rather archaic lap counting program. So old in fact that it will only run on Windows NT, gives very little information to the commentator, takes many minutes after the race to deduce the race order and it can't handle more than forty cars. Well for 2009 we've developed a new and improved system (LATTICE) that features instant readout of race data, support for up to fifty cars, instant results printout and a touch screen input. But lets not forget the efforts of the lap counting team who have performed this task for many years under great pressure, and do it so well that no one realises they're there. Thanks guys and gals, you make it all possible.
