To All Competitors taking part in this weekends race meeting at Kimbolton.
We need to bring your attention to our final instructions regarding keeping the volume of traffic as low as
possible. Yet again we have had at the circuit unrelenting amount of rainfall on Tues night and again today
Thurs 8 th with more forecast tonight. We have been pumping water most of the day but unfortunately its
not going anywhere quickly. All we ask is that you work with us (might want to bring your wellies). We will
be working as hard as we can again tomorrow to shift as much as we can to allow us to go racing. Those of
you that race in the teams please can you make them aware of this as well.
With the amount of rainfall, we have had this reduces the amount of space we have to park vehicles so
please can we ask that you car share as much as possible where you can.

Please make sure you read the following important information as it is for everyone’s benefit taking part.

As you are well aware of the inclement weather the country has been experiencing in recent months, can we ask that where possible for the next few months we ask that you help with keeping on site traffic down where possible and consider car sharing as there are certain parts of the site still a bit soggy.
