Christmas Meeting Friday 18 December.
We have now decided that we shall be running two events on our Christmas Meeting.
1st: Caravan Racing Those who wish to run in this event will need to build their own caravans which will need to be attached to the rear of their Touring Car. Rules will be very simple... Caravan cannot be wider or longer than your own car, single or double axles can be used and the caravan must be attached to your car's chassis not the bodyshell. We'll then have a series of races around a simple track layout. 2nd RC Football The second event of the night will be a football match using a beachball. We'll choose teams at random, 1 from each group - F1-F3. So it will be 3 aside. It will be a none contact game of two halves. Winner is the team who scores the most, a draw will result in sudden death and the winner will be the team who scores next. As well as these events, we would like everyone to bring along something for nibbles during the evening, the club will supply drinks. We look forward to seeing you all at our Christmas meeting before we break up and prepare for a full year of racing in 2010 both indoors and hopefully very soon outdoors too. Usual start time - 7pm until 10pm. The sooner we can have the track ready (very simply this night) the sooner we can have some fun. Feel free to dress up your cars in the festive spirit... |

I was just thinking the very same...
I'm thinking that a shoe box would make a good base to work from and then drop into that a simple wooden dowel spaceframe on to which I can mount an axle. I could be barking up the wrong tree here so I too could do with some pointers... |

Beachball anyone?
Just thought...
Does anyone at the club own an inflatable beachball? We'll need one to be able to play the RC Football on the night. So if you have one, please bring it along to one of our meetings, thanks. |

Welcome onbaord Mas. Hope you've enjoyed the last two meetings, Monday's one will be right up your street as it's going to be an Oval. BTW, what make was that F1 car you brought along on Monday and do you have foam tyres to see if they give better grip? |

I'm not sure where I got this image of oval racing from as I've never done it. Although i did love "Days of Thunder" as a child.
My F1 chassis is a Tamiya F104. I do have foams so I will try it monday if I can make it. Should be able to without too many issues |

Just a quick reminder to all members who are coming to the Christmas Party on Friday 18 December. I need to know in advance if you are going to join in with the Caravan Racing and RC Football so that everything can be prepared in advance. Please confirm by email if you have not already done so to admin@bedsrcmcc.co.uk
The to confirm the format for thwe evening's racing... We shall have 1 round of normal racing on track layout 19 - check the layout on our web site here: http://www.bedsrcmcc.co.uk/tracks.php Probably a 4 or 5 minute race. A short break for some nibbles and drinks then onto the fun of the caravan racing using the same track layout 19 as above. After a round of caravan racing there will be another short break for more nibbles and drinks and then we shall have the RC Football. Depending on the numbers who want to do the football, we will either have 1 match or a series of matches and finals. We want to make our last meeting of 2009 a great send off before we all part for the festive period so we want you all to invite your friends and family along to watch the fun and of course they can enjoy the drinks and nibbles too. Bring along some food and only pay half price for the racing on the night. Please confirm, if you have not done so already, what food you will bring. The club will supply drinks for you all. Looking forward to the last meeting of 2009 and already thinking about the start of 2010 for the club - the future's looking good... |

I think we can have mixed teams if you want. It will be a non-contact game so should not be a problem, though not sure if a 1:18 will be able to control the football. Talking of which, I have a football for Friday. It's heavy enough not to be bounced out of play by the cars, but also light enough not to damage the cars.

Might be worth bringing that along too. As we have not tested any balls yet, the smaller one might be better, who knows

We now have 18 booked in for Friday's meeting. All are doing the caravan racing and 15 want to do the football. I shall sort our the football runners into 4 teams. Some will have 1 more driver than others but I'll try to match teams as a whole based upon driver skill levels. Remember that it will be a non-contact game and I'll be ready with the whistle if there are any dirty tricks...
What we'll do after the first normal heat and caravan heat is have two matches. Team 1 will play Team 2 then Team 3 will play Team 4. Each of the losing sides will play each other for 3rd and 4th place, then the other two sides will play for 1st and 2nd. Looking forward to a fun night of racing. Don't fotget to bring your nibbles and we'll bring the drinks If we have any more book before Friday I'll try and slot them into the teams if they are wanting to do the football. Merry Christmas to you all |
