Winter Warmer Series 2010/11 RD 1 - Sunday 03 October - EPR
Here we go again! - The 'official' thread!
As the title says, the opening round, Round 1 (of 6) of the Winter Warmer Series 2010/11. As per usual the series will cater for both 2WD and 4WD 1:10 electric off-road buggies as well as Stadium Trucks and Short Course trucks, local interest suggests that we will get enough entries of both truck classes, we may well have to split them up! As this thread infers to be held at Eden Park Raceway off-road facility(check out details here: http://www.edenparkraceway.com/dates.htm) on Sunday 03 October 2010. Please note recent changes to tyre restrictions! Track WILL NOT open until approx. 08:30 for practice so please DO NOT arrive too early! The track has near neighbours which we do not want upset by excessive early noise, thank you! Have confirmed that the on-site cafe will be open from approx. 08:30, providing a selection of hot & cold food, drinks and snacks, with their now highly recommended sausage baguettes! See you all there, watch out for further announcements and confirmation of race fees etc. EPR Committee |

Yea!
Round 1 this sunday and the weather is promising to be really special Can't wait though and rumour has it that even more of us Essex boys may even risk the trip south of the border - if they let us in that is! See you all there on Sunday |

does it honestly give good weather???? Will there be enough time between heats if you(i) decide to do 2 and 4wd classes?

Depends on what you break Griff and how quick you are at wrenching
Seriously though it can be manic running two classes but some people do it - and keep on doing it. The worse thing I did last year was throttle my 2WD over the big tabletop after just finishing my SCT heat - can't quite adjust the thumbs these days... |

holiday inn croydon looks the closest
premier inn is also in croydon travel lodge caterham about 8 miles away go for the cheapest of them but parts of croydon are R.A.F (no worse than newport) theirs bound to be b&b's closer and cheaper tho |

http://www.innkeeperslodge.com/lodgedetail.asp?lid=7 looks like the pricing is similar to the brands you're looking for at about £60. Cheers, Ty |

Enjoyed todays racing (apart from the wet stuff).
Good to see the essex boys being well presented. Well done to a fellow kyosho driver Tony for placing the RB5 second in the "A". Bring on round two to hopefully climb the leader board a bit. Thanks to the"gnarly old dog" mr carter for telling us about the series. See you all at round two. |

Of topic but whats the general "rule" on people lapping you. Pull over and let them pass? Its not racing if you let them pass on purpose I think
