FRCC Invitational 2013

Racing Snake · #1 17-12-2012

All,

with the success of this years event the idea would now be to keep this going & turn it into one of the events that Scottish Region is know for. We did a great job raising over £1000 for Yorkhill Children's Hospital thanks mainly to the efforts of Kenny Clark, so lets do it again.

I have to discuss some things with the FRCC committee however for the moment I'm going out on a limb as the ideas flow. The main idea is to turn this into a 2 day event:

possible formats

Oople Style

Saturday = Practice & 4 rounds of Qualifying (both 2WD & 4WD)
Sunday = 1 round Qualifying & 3 leg Finals for all (both 2WD & 4WD)

Normal Format

Saturday = 2WD Qualifying & Finals (short practice at the begining of the day)
Sunday = 4WD Qualifying & Finals (short practice at the begining of the day)

This obviously means that if competitors are travelling from faraway reaches of the country that they would have 2 nights accommodation to deal with as well. So with this in mind I'd very much like to leave this thread open to the masses to provide some feedback on this idea.

Thanks

Sounds Great, I'm for 2wd sat and 4wd sun. More time to concentrate on setups, coz you know how much I like to tinker and change my setups between rounds.

I like the sound of the oople style.

I will make a suggestion that Kenny and Nathan get a weight restriction to give some mere mortals a chance

say 8 KG

It's gotta be the 2WD Saturday, 4WD Sunday. Quite a few folks will only do one class (ie me) and to appear for two days to run one class isn't on....

Can't think of any good reason for the Oople style really...

OOple style is defo the way to go! It's cracking. Relaxed and you've got loads of time between races.

That's the way I think it should go.

Doesn't make any sense to me.

If you had only 2WD in one day it would be super relaxed too. I can't speak for others, but if I was only running one class I would find it hard to justify being there for two days!

Most drivers who attend Oople events would be running both classes, so that works OK at an event of that status.
