I'll try to get to a couple but there are a lot of clashes there unfortunately

[gnr racer]

Could tempt a couple of us form the warm indoors world of electric racing.
Which track will the series be run on?...is the astro coverage going ahead?
Shouldnt that be 'mag models'?

[teambowen]

You are correct M.A.G Models.

The track the series will be run on will be the big main track down at ledbury.
Yes the astro will be down in time to run the series on it.

And before you start to panic we are in the process of laying the astro down so that we can create a short course for the electric 1/10 scale to run on and not run on the 1/8 scale track, unless you decide you want to run the 1/8 track.

For the organizers it will mean changing the track layout but all of us at ledbury think that it is worth it to see more elctric racers turning up and having a go.

the 1/10 scale track will be a car friendly track HOPEFULLY.

Feedback during the races from you drivers means that we can then tweak the track to suite or challenge those who race.

Just mate sure Mr Morgan is dragged kicking and screaming with you lol.
We had a lot of fun last year racing your nitro GNR drivers.

will the entries be 2wd and 4wd separate classes?? Run on astro?
sounds good

[teambowen]

Griff mate, if you can get enough of each, i'm sure i can say for the club that we would run 2 round's. one for 2wd & 4wd.
But we need the number to turn up for this to work.
Otherwise we would run them both together.

As i said before if anyone comes up with track layout ideas that we think we can get to work, adding jumps etc.

We will have no problem setting the track in this way for the next meeting.

Hey Roger

Sorry if there are clashes
Ive tried hard to avoid as many meetings with different series as i can.

I know that it does clash with some MAM series as was planning to do that mayself but just too much goin on this winter.

Make a couple if that is all you can do as any points count

Hi Nath / Jamie

Any scope for Short Corse Trucks & 8th Electric in the series ?

[teambowen]

Hi Lee.
We have allways offered to run short course trucks but no one turns up.
If there is enough interest in the 1/8 electric then we should be able to put on a round.
But if numbers are low you may have to go in with the nitros.
We have run electric and bitro 1/8 scale together before and to be honest the 1/8 electric was really inpressive to watch.
It took the jumps that were really well on the old big track.

See what interest there is and we will go from there.
Thats all we can say at this moment.

Any indication of nos on the electric side for the first round

[russmini]

Quite interested in this. Just got back into 10th Off Road. Would echo the above and just ask how many are booked in so far to do this in 10th ?
I'm happy even if only a few, as it gives me more practice, but would be nice if there was a few to pit myself against.

Thank you

[Pownabown]

Am afraid we havent got any electric entries yet

Its down to you guys to get your names down and try to convince a few others to come along with you.

If we can get 8 or 9 then ill do rallycross and electric to bump up the numbers abit

[teambowen]

I also will do rallycross and electric
and Oliver my son can do truggy and electric to bump up the numbers.
Griff has indicated he might come, only hinted though

That makes 3 to 4 that will run.

We're therefore half way to definately runnig the electrics.

We want you elctric racers to come and race at the track so we will pull out all the stops to tempt you to come.
Because we all think you guys will love the track layout and the grip it will produce.

I will be racing in Leominster on Friday and will Ask BIG G, Wezzer etc to see if they're interested.

But you guys needs to give us an idea of interest else we can't say anything about numbers.

Your call guys.

[RogerM]

Unfortunately your first round clashes with the first round of the Ardent winter series, second with a MAM round, 3rd with the EBOR 24hr, 4th is before 2 full 2 day weekends of racing in January and I need to spend that keeping the good lady quiet.

I will try to make the 5th round if I can as I really like your venue and it's the closest off road track to my house by a considerable margin!! Shame how the dates have turned out :'(

See you Friday, mid motored RB5's frist run on carpet!

Nice work on the track too!!!!

[Big G]

I would be interested, but from past experiences of racing in the same event as IC cars have been a bad one.

I'll sleep on it
