[bedsrcmcc]

The Bedsrcmcc are to introduce a new class to the club - Mardave Mini's

There has been a lot of interest in this and more so for it to stay a very cheap alternative to what we currenty race. We shall be racing them from now on, although we have 1 final round of the current Championships to get through. There after it is all systems go for the Mardave Minis and we shall be running them in the next Championships coming very soon.

Here are the rules:
