In Spalding where Gav raced today. I was officiating and Kim was also there.

The news is they have resealed the surface and the grip is somewhat reduced. Gav might post something about the different wheels he tried out. I have a theory that those going that race 4* 100 might want to break out your old 5*84 or even 5*80 frames and stick some indoor hockey wheels on there. The more contact points the better the more grippy the wheels the better. New wheels didn't seem to held Gav in his first race.

As for the races in two weeks. it would be nice if we had a small crowd there again. Anyone coming along to race?

Hans and I will be entering the 2 man relay. Are there any girls coming along that want to team up?

I'd like to come along, especially if there are any races for an older age range which I could enter. Indoor racing is fun! - you really get an impression of speed, and race tactics are so important in terms of the line you take and when to make a move (lot to learn on this score!)

Is there space in anyone's car?

I'd love to come check it out as I track racing sounds great. Sadly I am away this weekend. Also, Vincent Henry said he might have some skates which could fit, so if he's going to be there it would have been a good opportunity to get some proper skates!!
