BRCA 1/10th Electric Off Road AGM Proposals

[Phil Channon]

Some interesting ones.
How would they affect the ability of your club to run a regional or national event?

As you say Phil, some interesting points there.

I'm not sure they are all appropriate for regional level (or even national level) racing and could seriously impact on a number of smaller clubs that don't have the space nor finances to meet some of the requirements potentially being asked.

I love the wheel one, 23.7. It is seriously proposed that you guys measure wheels to a dimension down to 0.01mm, (or 0.0005") in an open field at any temperature between single digit and 28 deg C, on a subject that is unlikely to be round and will flex under the load of the measuring instrument; said instrument having something like a 1% variation due to the operator and with no tolerance to work with. And after all that, it is proposed to exclude someone or something that is non-conforming? You cannot be serious!!!

Love to know how that unenforceable rule goes...

Some good....e.g. batteries, Some not so good..e.g. raised pit lane..!....pit lane of some sort perhaps, but surely no need to be raised.!
Let's hope common sense prevails..

I think it aimed more at the 1/8th style of wheel that is now in production for 10th cars.

The rostrum run would rule out regionals at Batley

[Chris Larner]

The silly thing is that some regions already struggle to have enough tracks to make a series, so with the rules about track width and rostrum location this could completely demolish some regions! Do the BRCA realise this or are they trying to start the end of this hobby.

I think it would rule out a lot of clubs not just Batley

I think all the AGM proposals should be put on the BRCA website and some sort of voting system put into place so all BRCA members can vote yes or no to what is being proposed. Would this work ?

Not a bad thing then

Badly, it seems as if someone has just converted the imperial measurement (2.2, 1 5/8, 1 1/2) into mm. Without allowing for any understanding of tolerances. Especially relevant with injection molded plastics which can change dimensions over time. And can change batch to batch depending on the weather.
