Here's a sneek peek at some details you'll be getting at the club tomorrow:

Triple Crown details for the day

Please find listed all the relative information and details you require for the first round of the Triple Crown Winter Series.

1. Venue - Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Abbey Street, Faversham, Kent, me137bq, there will be yellow KCC signs to direct you, so please keep a look out.
2. Time – gates will be open from 7am, please arrive as close to this time as possible
3. Parking – on arrival you will be shown towards the parking area by the marshals
4. Pitting – you will be shown to the entrance of the pitting hall which is separate from the hall where the track will be. At the door you will register your arrival with Jodie so we know that you are present, once inside the hall you will be shown to your pitting area, this is so we can fit you all in comfortably, so please go to where you are shown. If you would like to pit with friends please pre-arrange this before your arrival, and let us know when you arrive. You will require your own tables and chairs. We won’t have enough room for you to keep a 6ft table to yourself, so please share tables with your fellow racers.
5. Charging – Where practical we would like to minimise the number of 12v supplies being used. This is to reduce the load on the ring main in the hall. Most 12v supplies are capable of running 2 or 3 chargers at the same time, so please share your 12v supplies with your pitting neighbour. Those of you who have 12 Volt batteries for charging are welcome to bring them. Those of you using mains power please bring your own extension leads and/or socket multi-way adaptors.
6. Heat Listing – heat listings will be in place in the pitting hall for you to check all your details are correct.
7. Track – the track hall will be closed to you when you arrive, to give the people building it the time and space they need, please bear with us on this one.
8. Practicing – Timed practise will run in heat order, and starts at 8.30 sharp. Practise will be used to verify personal and handout transponder numbers so please make sure your PT is connected or you have a handout in.
9. Driver’s Briefing – this will follow timed practise, where the rest of the day’s details will be given to you.
10. Transmitter/Car Compound – drivers may not leave the track hall until they have marshalled. A transmitter/car pound will be provided for racers to use while they are marshalling. The pound must be used during practice, heats and finals.

[David Church]

I will be there with most of my shop.
Plenty of LMR wings, tyres, inserts, Trishbits, Budsball, Nuclear grease & glue, I also have acetone if anyone wants any, but you must let me know by the time I leave tomorrow morning. Plus I have motors, speedos, lipos, spares, etc.
Looking forward to some proper racing indoors and close to home

Cheers

Hi Chris,

All drivers have been seeded against the ability they supplied when they booked in. You graded yourself towards the bottom end of the field. If you believe you have made a mistake, please PM me with your revised ability.

Regards,
Jon.

[Rebelrc]

Good Luck tomorrow Faversham!
And faversham drivers
Shame I can't be there as I know it's going to be a great day.
Ed Kerry for the win..... Bummer Dixon2nd.......James Clifford 3rd 4wd
And Will Johnson for the win 2wd.
My predictions
No pressure guys lol

[MHeadling]

Er what about me Rebel?!!! Lol!

John if you see this Crispin and Jake Fuggle can't make it tomorrow.

See you all in the morning! :-)

[brookie]

Good luck to everybody involved and participating in this event tomorrow and the series!
Hope to make the later rounds but tomorrow we'll be heading to the airport, need to get away it's been a long year! (http://www.catmastertours.com/index.html)

Oh and in 2WD think Mr. Stafford (senior!) and Mr. Williams (amongst others!) may have something to say about the outcome.
And PS watch out for a certain Logan Stafford making his race debut, with those genes gotta be one to watch for the future!

This event, series and club continue to highlight the increase in interest and strength within the South East Region both here and at all other venues contributing to both Winter and Summer series and championships, thanks guys (and gals) keep up the good work!

[frobes2]

Wow...

I've just got home from this brilliant event and have to say a big well done to all involved, it was brilliant..

My driving was as bad as usual so I didn't do as well as my super competitive self had expected and wanted. The track was blinding, really flowing and a little bit technical, so great to have four qualifiers and two finals.

Thanks to all the guys and girls that made today run smoothly, to be honest I'm not sure if you could improve it in any way, maybe lengthen the down slope off the jump so I could actually land on it, lol.

Sorry for leaving early and not helping to pack up but I had promised I would pick my daughter up late afternoon.

Thanks again,

Scott..

[jackeltrader]

Hi Guys....as Scott said really - MASSIVE thank you too all involved from the huge planning of it all down to the smallest details, brilliant day for the club and some incredible individual achievements... especially my 'Team no idea' Team mates - you know who you are!
Thanks again, can't wait for the next one already, Dave... your gonna be hard pushed to beat that track
Cheers!

[discostu]

I would also like to applaud every one who set this event up and a massive well done to all winners and every body who raced today pretty much all of you looked like you enjoyed yourself and of course team no idea clearly still have no idea or maybe not ;-)

[jkclifford]

Same as above. Really enjoyed today great racing great day.

Sorry about the landing ramp on the main jump, was worried if I made it too long the angle would be too shallow and not catch the cars and end up nose diving.
Anyhow a longer landing is as good as made.

[Team No Idea]

Just to Echo the above, we all know what a huge amount of effort has gone into this event....woah it was a goodun'. Superb racing all round, amazing track and great to see such a mixture of ages and abilities today. Well done to all !
Im working on the report as we speak and i'll keep you posted when 'tiz done.

[David Church]

Many thanks to all involved in the running of this meeting!!! Really enjoyed racing there today!!! Cheers

[Big E]

Really good meeting and great track made for some good racing.

Stafford senior and Stafford junior both had a great time

[MHeadling]
