15 drivers raced at the 1st 2WD Regional at Gt Braxted hosted by MERCC on Sunday 26th April.
12 of these competed for the 2009 2WD East of England Regional Championship.
These numbers were very disappointing but those present provided a great days racing and I would like to thank everyone for attending.
The weather was excellent and the perfectly prepared track led to fast and competitive racing.
Drivers from 4 clubs were represented and I would like to thank all of those who attended. Thanks also to MERCC for providing an excellent venue
The A Final was made up of drivers from 4 different clubs. Unfortunately no F3s were present.
Congratulations to David Orbell for a clean sweep in the Finals – he won each of the 3 legs. Jonathan Brown was top qualifier finishing 2nd overall with 3 runner up spots.
Top F5 was James Crockart who finished 5th, Top F4 Carl Dufton who finished 6th.
As already mentioned no F3s attended the meeting.
The other Final winners were B Final - Huw Williams and in the Open Final Grant Williams took first place from Andy Carter.
Grant also won the Marshall-Less race from Andy and Jonathan.
Thanks again and well done everyone for yesterdays meeting.
Please note that the next Regional Meeting is at Ipswich – Coastal Model Car Racing Club, on Sunday 7th June – this being the first round of the 4WD Championship and I look forward to seeing more drivers at this meeting.

Anyone else who wishes to attend if they could email my Dad, or pm me on here to let me know your BRCA number, x'tals and F grading that would be handy.


Also if people are interested an open class can be run for 2wd buggies, or you can weigh your 2wd buggy up to the 4wd weight limit and race in the regional.

Only 14 drivers raced at the 1st 4WD Regional at Ipswich hosted by Coastal Model Car Racing Club on Sunday 7th June.
Low numbers like this continue to be very disappointing. Thanks to everyone who made the effort to attend.

Drivers from 4 clubs were represented and I would like to thank all of those who braved the conditions and provided a good days racing.

Firstly: apologies for this report being a bit late but following an incident in the final qualifying round the results needed clarification.

A disappointing number of drivers (only 7) participated in the 2nd and Final Round of the 4WD Regional Championship. Of these only 4 contested the final.

The overall winner of the meeting was Jonathan Brown followed by Simon Watson, Ben Chester and Carl Dufton.

These results mean that Jonathan is the 2009 4WD Regional Champion and also the Top F2.
Carl Dufton was the Top F4, and Ben Chester the Top F5.
No F3’s were present at either of the 4WD Regional meetings.

Trevor Brown

Final confirmed results are attached

[jcb]

Following the cancellation of the 2nd and final 2WD Regional the overall 2WD Championship is confirmed as per the results at MERCC (Gt Braxted).
Given that only 1 Round has taken place the Regional Championship is tied.
Joint Regional 2WD Champions are David Orbell and Jonathan Brown.
Top F2 Jonathan Brown.
Top F3 No F3s took part.
Top F4 Carl Dufton.
Top F5 James Crockart.
Formula gradings for 2010 cannot be established until the National Championships are finalised.
I will be having a meeting sometime in November to decide the future of the East of England Regional Championships.
