BRCA Micro Nationals
I thought I'd post a link to the BRCA Micro Nationals which are currently running (only round 1 completed!) just in case someone hasn't seen it:
http://www.ukmicrox.co.uk/ Get your entries in, the tracks are amazing, good practise during winter and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. |

The FTX Blaze was awesome but I don't have one. Btw John, I looked and we found one in Tokyo but it was pretty big and there was no way we could really fit it in at the last min as we were stuffed full already |

There isn't a 1/16 specific class (basically only 2 classes: Pro Stock and Mod). As long as they fit the dimensions I think they'll be good to go! Here are the rules: 1/18th Offroad 1.
