Default ROUND 4; BRCA EoE Regional @ MERCC 26th June 2011

Just a reminder to everyone regarding round four of the EoE Regional.

I am expecting an excellent host membership turnout for this one. MERCC are regularly filling 3 and 4 heats of 1:10 Off Road. Add the travellers and this will probably be the largest single number of competitors this year.

For all the info, go to www.brca-eoe.co.uk

and please book in as normal. Pay on the day to the race director for this round.

Emails will go out the day before covering any last minute details. But the track will be open from 8.30am inc practice.
Handout transponders only
Lots of trophies too!

BIG NOTICE!:
It is imperative that you take your BRCA Membership card and show it to the race Director on the morning of the race - Failure to do so will result in no racing! If you have misplaced it, damaged it etc, ensure you replace it before the meeting. I cannot vouch for anyone, regardless of previous entries. Everyone has plenty of time to sort out any replacements if required. Please PM any concerns - Thank you.

Roll on round 4

Looking forward to heading back to MERCC it's always provided some great racing and some surprise results in the past (hopefully that means I'll win )

There are a few of us looking to race next sunday (grass track) if so who do we need to enter with.

Another winner in the 2wd! That will be the 4th winner and a different one for each round. I hope so!

Hi John, great to hear your coming along.

Open class - Yes we do and it's mingled. Please use the book in page at www.brca-eoe.co.uk - fill your details inc whether you're doing 2,4 or both etc.

If you are NOT looking to score EoE regions points just drop a note through the contact page with your names, so when I transpose the points to the champ tables I don't include you.

Cheers

But, do we know if Jonathan has a new 2wd car Ben? remember the Cougar went in the bin (well E-Bay) after the last round at Coastal!

Maybe he has a nice new CAT SX3, and will scupper our slim chances of stopping George from wrapping up the 4wd title this weekend

Ben, a few years back, we had Grant Williams and a few others not running in the EoE, turn up to the regional at Colchester that year, they ran with everyone as normal in qualiy, but had their own final. That way you don't get points scorers being bumped into the B final and maybe missing out on extra points that might get scored.

Either way it'll be good to see some of the better lads come along

Thanks for the reply,

As someone has posted above we do normally get removed from the finals unless opting to do that region. We don't want to ruin other peoples chances who are actually racing in the region.

Looking forward to racing at Braxted, last time i raced there was 1998 Brca National!!!!

There's some decent photos on the clubs Facebook page, search Mid Essex Radio Car Club. Although there doesn't seem to be as much grass as in previous years!

Yep none regional runners should have their own final. I guess depending on the number in attendance they could be run in a seperate heat altogether if that makes things more straight forward?!?


JohnM, new car, but no comment on what it is, you'll just have to wait until sunday.

Any idea on numbers for this Sunday?

Thinking about booking in for both classes, but want to be sure there will be time in between heats...

Cheers Adam.

It will be an average of 30mins between heats for people doing two classes
Or
1hr for those doing 1.

Hi John

Please can you send me the details of who's coming. We are loading the system tomorrow with everyone's details to save time on the day. It's better/easier to remove non-arrivals than try and input, on the day.

Name
4wd/2wd or both
BRCA no.
Xtals
Make/model of cars



Gates open 8.30.
Practice until 9.30 when booking in closes.
Track closed for drivers briefing.
Racing will start as close to 9.30 as possible

Many thanks

Ben

In our last meeting a fortnight ago, we had 3 heats of nitros, 2 heats of 2wd electric and 1 full heat of 4wd electric.

It was a bit of a rush for me running both electric classes, but certainly possible, and it should be easier this week with all the extra people.

Is it mixed Electric/Nitro this Sunday then?

Thought it would just be 2wd/4wd electric?

We're running the regional along with our usual offroad series, so there will be 1/8th Nitros racing too.
