1:10 OFF ROAD REGIONAL - CMCC (Colchester) Sunday 1st May

[Benh]

That’s right; you have barely digested the results for round 1 and round 2 is bearing down like a train. So buy a ticket and hop on board the points-fest express.

To assist us, Wills and Kate have made sure their wedding doesn’t clash with our important date. They kindly penned us just weeks before the announcement that included the assurances of additional bank holidays; thus enabling the fitment of baths, cleaning of gutters, time with the family, and still race on the Sunday. They finished the letter with, “…having two such important days so close together, we have instructed the family’s air force to launch iodide pellets into the Atlantic stratospheric currents, ensuring delightful weather for the entire weekend. Whilst benefiting the Kingdom as a whole, it will have the most positive impact on our favourite of BRCA events, the East of England regional series”

So whilst the other regions have the best drivers, we have the Royal seal of approval!

So if all drivers can book in through www.brca-eoe.co.uk (If you can’t book in yourself, ask someone else to do it for you, or drop an email to info<at>brca-eoe.co.uk (obviously replacing <at> with @)

It is imperative that you prepay as it will really help in the planning of the day. If you have any problems please drop me a line with a PM, email or use the contact form through the website www.brca-eoe.co.uk

Should the event not go ahead for any reason, i.e. war, floods, petulance, sorry I meant pestilence; all refunds will be made on the day of the announcement.



Whilst queuing for the rostrum, William has a quiet word.
"Stop laughing dear, Zipper was born that way."

Really looking forward to this one, have been hearing really good things about the track!

I can't find what time it starts on Sunday... what time do the gates open?

[Benh]

The track is very smooth and "un-lumpy". But it does boast undulations offering natural hops into two corners, a sweeping off camber bend and a true CMCC style straight that starts on the Welsh border and finishes just past the end of the rostrum in Minsk. (not quite that long but you get the idea)

Gates open at 8am

Racing will start at 9am.

Last minute entries are coming in and it's looking to be another cracker. Our current 2WD and Junior leaders are not booked in yet! Hopefully they'll be popping their names down soon.

I have a sneak peak of the track from a relaible source.......



It looks awesome and QUICK!!!! So looking forward to Sunday now and I see there are some new names booked in.... will someone spring a surprise and beat George?!

[jcb]

I think the current 2wd and junior leaders are away on bank holiday weekend duties!

Can someone please confirm that handout transponders are going to be available as I notice the regional site hasn't been updated for this information.

Track looks good, apart from the threat of a massive straight!


Hmmm 8am start, looks like i'll be getting up at 5:30 to get things packed and drive down

Would it be classed as a surprise if I beat George? no disrespect to George.

Jon, I've been told there are only a few handouts, so I'm having to rewire the 22 to be able to swap my pt between the two cars, still not sure if it will all fit in though.

[jcb]

Hmmm as for who could win, going by the last regional I attended at Colchester a few years back anything could happen. Springs to mind that none of the top qualifiers finished the finals!!


Hopefully someone will clairfy definitely about the transponders, don't want to drive all the way down to find I need a PT!

You and me both John, who has a spare Y lead then?
It was all looking so neat as well
