Mid South 4wd Regional Information Sunday 6th July.

[Dudders]

SHRCCC BRCA Regional Round Site and Race Information:

4wd Regional and 2wd Support Races.

Track address is: Samuel Cody Sports College, Ballantyne Road, Farnborough, Hampshire GU14 8SN.

Phone number on the day for late arrivals is 07795 260571. Please send a text rather than call.

Due to the nature of the site, no access is allowed before 7.00am. The track and pit space are inside a locked compound. All pitting will be on the grassed area. The only people inside the compound have been notified (committee/helpers) so please do not ask!

Mains power is available but please use sparingly. If you have 12v / generator please use.

We use RC3 decoder so some Harry's will not work.

We finally have our new PA System installed so everyone will hear everything crystal clear.

Trophies for TQ and top u16 and u13 and top Vet. Certificates for all other top 3's.

Food:

There will be either a van onsite. Please support us by using this service, they'll be open early doors!

There are male and female toilets complete with showering facilities. So if you have a long journey to us they are ideal to take advantage of for an extra 20 mins in bed!

Schedule:

7.00am Trackside open for pitting. Track closed.
8.00am Track open for two or three Practice rounds in heat order, 3 min heats. If you are a lower grade driver, you'll be in an early heat! Please Marshall after your practice run - this will help you as well.

7.30am Booking in open.
9.45/10.00am First heat on the line.

Looking forward to a good day for all, see you all there!

All sounds good, looking forward to Sunday.

Can someone tell me the structure of racing for the day, i.e how many rounds of heats and whether it's a 3-leg final?

Thanks!

Hi,

It's the standard format for the brca regional events.
2 off 3 minute practice rounds in heat order.
4 off 5 minute heats
3 finals for the A finalists
1 final for normal people.

Never have agreed with the last 2 points as it's the people in lower heats that need the practice and we all pay the same money etc but that's how it is :-)

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info, now I know how many LiPos to charge

Not sure I agree with the last 2 points either, this is my 1st regional and believe me, I need the practice!!

See you Sunday

It can be argued that everyone pays their money so everyone gets 3 legs.
The reason its the A Finalist though, is because its a championship and it would be unfair for that championship to be decided on lets say a breakage or similar, hence the best 2 from 3 legs.

See you there - if anyone needs anything then ping me an email tony@rudebits.net

Is it possible to book in tomorrow morning? I wasn't sure I'd be around due to work commitments so I haven't booked in on the DMS website.

It's a championship for all competitors not just the top ten.
