Yep probably a lot later than most, I've realised whatever I'm doing isn't working as well as I'd like so I'll be calling it a day with the ACHS/ iRoC stuff at the end of the current season, leaving the Sunday slot free for anyone who fancies it.
This isn't a knee-jerk reaction following the poor attendance at NHMS, probably more the cumulative affect of that, the busy schedule Club England have announced now and the comeback of ORO. My plan for the next series was sprint mixed class LM, SS and possibly Legends races but the day after ORO each week will just be overkill so it's not going to be viable.
I still plan on racing here when i can and in the enduros of course but I'd like to hopefully end the season with a decent couple of races @ Spa and leave it there for the time being at least.
I figure there's plenty of time for somebody else to start planning so if you'd like to have a shot at Sunday or presumably any other day you think would be suitable, just give Dave a shout to start the ball rolling.
A big thanks to all who've attended one of the 30 or so races we've run - we've had some giggles in cars we wouldn't have otherwised used so I don't think it's been a waste of time, but I don't think it's going to achieve the level of global popularity I once thought! :'(
Season's not over - three more events in total so I hope to see you there for a decent iRoC finale.
Cheers,
James

Thanks for all your hard work James... It's a real shame that both iR leagues are struggling to attract the numbers required....

I've enjoyed the variety even if no one else did I'll have enjoyed it even more when I win. (And if that doesn't encourage people to join for the last few rounds and stop me I don't know what will! )

Hahaha yes, I'm motivated Mr. Gymer don't worry about that - on reflection though I should have made the F1 round 10 mins to stand any chance whatsoever of scoring. Actually it's probably best you leave the results import to me this time hey Dave...I'd hate for anything to get tampered with post race Thanks anyway guys - been a pleasure, particularly Pete as you've probably been at more than I have so maximum respect that man . Hopefully Dave will still let me run the occasional impromptu fun event if there's room in the schedule so we get to use some different machinery occasionally!

unfortunately I've either been away from home, not had the track, not had the car or even not known I've had the car and track until it was to late to do any practice for the race { didn't know which car the Late Model was } so all I can say is sorry for not attending

Ah don't mention it Ian, I missed a few myself - perhaps if we get the formula right we'll be able to get the same size of grids they do over at Club England but I don't think it'll happen with the kind of championships I like to organise unfortunately! Cheers WT - no biggy really, still loving the driving so you've still got me for the duration here I'm afraid . Gutted to have missed Laurie's memorial race AGAIN, would definitely have been in that if I'd have spotted it in time and I dare say I'll come back at some point and stuff it into a barrier near you . Thanks Jasper - looks like I've got more time for video making now hey! Okayama is free, so you should already have it Ian Ah yes, sorry Ian - didn't word it brilliantly but I was on about the Silver Crown, that monster horsepower kart thingymajig..
