Default Winter Warmer Series 2009/10 RD 6 - Sunday 07 March - EPR

The 'OFFICIAL' thread, hopefully free from hijacking and personal banter

As the title says, the sixth and final round of the 2009/10 Winter Warmer Series 2009/10. As per usual the series will cater for both 2WD and 4WD 1:10 electric off-road buggies as well as Stadium and Short Course trucks!

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 07 March 2010.

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!

NB - Following the cancellation of Round 2, due to adverse weather, the EPR Committe have decided to adopt the recognised principals of amending the rounds to count for Championship positions.
All Championships will now be decided on the basis of 3 from 5 to count.

See you all there, watch out for further announcements, especially regarding any impacts (parking etc.) due to weather!

EPR Committee

That's what I am planning. Finger glueing tonight...

Bit annoyed as I have mislaid a front brand new mini spike yellow

certainly for the cat sx. Not sure if I will run the b4 on the advice of brookie. I.e learn the track and stick to one class for the mo.

I work with computers hence the high keyboard and iphone usage (ironically controlling internet usage... ) Maybe I need a consultancy role again

Reminds me I must book another holiday which doesn't have an internet connection! With that I'll stay off Oople tonight..

Cheers Grant and see you Sunday

What time roughly will the day begin, rounds finish, finals begin/finish, etc.?

Just wondering whether I can whip down for an hour or two to watch!

Thanks to David Church and Trish for the info and friendly welcome last Saturday! Very impressed with the track. Is it possible to go to the track to practice at all, is there free access, etc.?

Partially answered in the opening post, track will open for practice at 08:30 for approximately one hour with a view to Drivers Briefing at 09:45, qualifying to start immediately after.

Difficult to say when qualifying will end, will depend largely on how many attend but would expect it to be around 14:00.
Finals ordinarily start approx. 30 mins after qualifying has finished.

Ordinarily at Winter Warmer series meetings we run 7 mins. finals, we may have to reduce this if the attendance is high and the daylight is fading, we will make this decision on the day.

Practice (and advice) is available to those that attend the regular work party's on Saturday, these are announced on here when they take place, look out for the announcement about this coming Saturday's plans.
Unlimited access to the track is part of the membership package, the complete details of which are available here:

http://www.edenparkraceway.com/about.htm

We do offer practice facilities to non-members for a fee (as detailed on the website) but would strongly recommend taking up club membership if you want to practice on a regular basis!

Really looking forward to it now

Can those that attend Saturday maintenance day give us an idea of what the track conditions will be like

I'd love to practice etc EPR, but it's a 4 hour round trip

Also looking forward to seeing how EPR runs as a meeting and with the computer equipment so I can take ideas back to our club

Track looked really good in yesterdays sun and was dry in most parts following Sunday's deluge

Still looking good for the weekend (prefer this to BBC's version):

Blow the dust of the yellows boys and girls oh and the hat and tranny muff

Greens in the morning and yellows in the afternoon then maybe..

I've forgotten what yellow mini spikes look like!

What way round will you be running the track?
