    Power at Manfeild

    I just recieved this in my email about the outside power points at Manfield



    We have over the last three weeks been undertaking an upgrade programme to all "outdoor" power outlet boxes at Manfeild...these include those in the Pits of the race circuit and those around the Park.
    This has been done because none of these power boxes met electrical supply compliance for outdoor hot points.

    Every box has been upgraded to "Caravan" three pin plug outlets...there are no longer standard three pin house type hot points in these boxes.

    Manfeild will have available for hire the appropriate Caravan plug with a lead attached to a single phase double plug outlet. We have six available for hire.

    From now on our Power Boxes will be locked when not in use. The cost of power has continued to increase and we will be seeking a small fee from competitors/campers for power use per day.

    I have to admit the power boxes were dodgey - I have the adapter I wonder how much "small fee" is ?

    Better take the generator next Friday then, prob cheaper than hiring a lead and paying for power.

    Thanks for that info!

    What secret society do we need to be a member of to receive these letters?

    I couldn't see any info at Manfeilds home page.

    I'm going up on 19th 20th, I assume you can pay on the day.
    What I know about suspension you could write on a postage stamp.
    I don't know why we are here, the cosmos is made of really,really,really small stringy things

    Hang on, isn't this what the clubs have been paying for with the track hire fees?

    They're probably going to start charging for the use of the rumble strips soon. Tight arses.

    So the ones in the pit garages are outdoor then? Sounds like a lot of wank to me.

    The entries have closed, but last I heard there were still spaces available in Super Sport......I think all other classes are full

    Im going and hoping Robert Taylor may be there to possibly help me with new rear shock

    .....phone them if you want to try and get entered, they may still let you in SS. I have contact ph numbers if you need them.

    Im still looking to share a garage if anyone has space pleassssssse

    It should be fairly close if RT has had a crack at them mate, are you doing the test day on the friday? That should give ya a bit of "special time" to get to know your forks again
    Just remember to only change 1 thing at a time when trying different settings.

    Do you know how to setup static sag ? Get that done first, then Robert may have some suggestions on the starting points for compression and rebound.

    The losing the front mental block thing... well you'll have to work on that yourself, but if the suspension has a good starting point then that is one less worry point.
