 Good Morning,

So it is time to pack my bags and head for the airport, I will be back about 10 days before the Series starts.

Most of the cars have arrived, two entrants cars are still "work in progress" but I am assured will reach me before we start the series. If not then they may miss the 1st Round of the series starting on the 16th October.

On a serious note Austin from USA has not responded to any of my communication attempts, either by email, or by messaging on slotracer online or on the HRW Forum website, so this gives me some serious concern, not least because I have a car running in the International Proxy which he is administrating, but also  because he's is a paying entry in our Proxy, but nothing has materialised regarding his entries since he paid in July. So If you are online Austin I would appreciate some sign that you are most importantly fit and well, and secondarily if you are still participating in this Proxy.

I also received a couple of cars which look "troublesome" I have emailed the entrants concerned, and made a couple of suggestions for them. So they can let me know how they want to proceed before we get going in October.

And finally we may get a late entry from a Entrant from last years Road Race, which I have accepted if they can get their cars ready in time whilst I am away.

So no doubt I will be tempted to look in at the forum over the next couple of weeks, but all being well I will be also looking forward to making the final preparations for this Proxy Series on my return.
