Reporting sad news

It is with deep regret that CPKC report the very sad loss of

Robert Bailey

who, at just 13 years, lost his battle against cancer on 27th June 2008.

Rob was an avid motorsport fan and with help and support of Lee Rennison worked hard to achieve his race licence and entered his first race in February this year and had hoped for a long career in the sport.

His family recall how pleased Rob was that he could call himself a proper racing driver. Sadly, soon afterwards he became too ill to continue.

Rob is remembered warmly by all who knew him and we are currently considering the most appropriate way to preserve his memory at the Club

June Results online

I am glad to announce that the results of the June meeting are now online. Unfortunately I couldn't be there, so many thanks to Carole Parsons for taking over in Lapscoring today! I've managed to get the results online (remotely from Uni) and championship positions have been updated, unless you have joined the club or changed class recently. I will endeavour to check through these changes over the coming week.

Check out your results of the day (http://claypigeon.resultsviewer.co.uk/ListRaces.php?Round=91) and your championship positions (http://claypigeon.resultsviewer.co.uk/ListChampionships.php).

Thanks to all drivers, supporters, officials and members for their ongoing support and congratulations to all the trophy winners! We look forward to seeing you next month.

April Results Online

We are glad to announce that the results of the April meeting are now online. Check out your results of the day (http://claypigeon.resultsviewer.co.uk/ListRaces.php?Round=101) and your championship positions (http://claypigeon.resultsviewer.co.uk/ListChampionships.php).

I'm sure that the rain showers did make it an interesting event, and there were as many people were watching the skies to determine when it was going to rain as those watching the racing itself! However frustrating this may have been it was an interesting challenge to drivers and mechanics alike.

For the first time in a number of years Senior TKM took the honour of largest grid of the day with 21 karts gridding up, and Junior TKM not far behind. It was great to see the hard work of a number of the club committee and members paying off and we look forward to seeing you all again next month. Why not mention it to someone else and see if we can recover the glory days of B Finals at Clay in the TKM class.

We mustn't overlook all the other classes who put on an excellent day's racing despite the conditions, and CPKC would like to thank all drivers, supporters, officials and members for their ongoing support. We look forward to seeing you next month.

Congratulations to all the trophy winners!
