Damn, events seem to be moving around. Carlton, Radella and Mahagasthota all moved dates since this thread was started, according to DD's site calendar.

They've moved Radella and Mahagasthota after Foxhill?

OT

thinking of going for foxhill this year!

haven't been there in ages and not after getting a camera!

since this is not a day drive in drive out scene... how about lodging in the area? any good places?

if i'm staying overnight i'll have to take the wifey and jnr and he's only 1 so need decent lodging!

and also how about the facilities at the track itself? do they now have loos and stuff?

[fuzzo]

bandarawela hotel is a decent place to stay. even ella rest house is a nice place but bit far

as for the loos... they are good in the morning but as the day goes on....

That place that we stayed last year would be the better option Fuzzo. Or are you booking the whole place this time?

[fuzzo]

haha since i'm not running this year, i won't be booking the place.

we never did play basketball there did we.

ah thanks mate

my searches on the web didn't turn up that many results. only one bungalow and god knows how far it is from the tracks.

as for the loos... couldn't properly hydrate myself both in katu and at sigiriya in 09 cos i couldn't spot any loos there at all

so had a few beers only on the way out cos on the way back there are enough outdoor experiences to be had

Reviving an old thread to ask a question -

What happened at the Kantale Rally?

Not strictly racing, but anyone going for the Colombo Motor Show? 22nd weekend, IIRC?

Also looks like Gunners Supercross is that weekend, according to DD's site. Any news on that? like who is running?

What are the rest of the events on the racing calendar?

well from what i hear...aravinda had won SLGT event and there was an issue over 3rd and 4th place if i'm not mistaken.

maybe somebody who was there can elaborate as to what exactly happened...

I most probably will be driving to Gunners cos from what i hear...it's gonna be a bloody good event... especially in the SLGT class cos it's the last championship race for 2010 and 3 drivers are on a tough battle to win it Namely DD, Pasindu and Aravinda

it'll be the decider so hopefully a lot more action on the track
