i think this booking in is a little unfair i ve been booked in for at leat 4 month somebody i know booked in last week and got picked and i dident:thumbdown::thumbdown:

[Jamie.T]

The thing with the oOple Invernational is that its not like booking in for an event, and its not done on a first come first served basis. Instead you submit your name and details registering your interest, then you wait and see if your lucky enough to get an "Invite".

I know for a fact that entries are chosen by random, and it really is the luck of the draw. Sadly each year the same comments are made, but with such a great event as the oOple race, its bound to be over subscribed and people will sadly be let down.

Hopefully next year is the turn of those who didn't get in this year.

Another option is go along anyway and have a last minute entry, last year there were open slots for both 2wd and 4wd due to no-shows.

I must admit that's how I feel about it

Never mind better luck next time

[wayne wilson]

well it seems to me that all the top drivers get booked in all the time as well but so well theres more tracks to support:blush:

[andyr]

have to agree with you on that one. are the ones on the list who havent paid not getting in theres a few top lads on there

[Dudders]

well it seems to me that all the top drivers get booked in all the time as well but so well theres more tracks to support:blush:

No, not true as I got in last year and for this year Tartman got in, and he's terrible!!! :cry:

[jimmy]

I won't go look at this list, but I think there were 400+ entry requests for under 200 places. Yes there are some well known drivers, but there are also plenty of people who're just club racers wanting to come and have a good time. I'm really sorry we couldn't make it a bigger entry this year but we've talked a little about what's possible and maybe we can do better next year

[lambert]

Does anyone know if and when a driver list will be sorted? Just wanted to read through and see if i know anyone thats going.

[shark]

well it seems to me that all the top drivers get booked in all the time as well but so well theres more tracks to support:blush:Dont worry about it mate , just go on the saturday and camp over the night is the best bit anyway!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Oscar]

I have a driver list even now, nearer the time (once we are fairly sure changes will be minimal) we will make this public :)

Heck I'm in so its not all stars and fast drivers.

[budgio]

Are ALL of the entries chosen by random?

[john333]

Are ALL of the entries chosen by random?

I think any foreign entries are picked very early to allow them time to book flights etc.

And REAL big names I would imagine are given a place As its good for the publicity etc for the event (similar to Tiger Woods being invited to the Open golf tournament etc etc)

I personally think it's a good thing to get some big names involved, as I wouldn't be able see them race, let alone race with them virtually anywhere else :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[TARTMAN]

Dudders, your a cheeky one, if i am terrible, then your the same, i am mostly only a second or 2 away from you at the end of the day! Gona get you for those comments!!!! LOL...........:mad::mad::mad:

I am gona be there with my big dumb truck giving it large in the air department.

I have only been back in the RC game since Sept last year and the thumbs are slowly letting the old skills through, very slowly lol...

SO, defo not only the superstars, and i must have been a random choice of an invite but damn glad i am about it! Cheers.

Will be an awsome weekend i am positive, seen the vids and pics of last years and looking forward to it LOADS!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[mpg200]

I'm rubbish and I'm in ,,, bottom of the table needs to be propped up by someone. And I have lots of experience:thumbsup:

[lambert]

Is there any chance of sending me a list of the drivers (i know its not finalised yet). Reason being i was lucky enough to get invited but as far as i know no one i know i know has got an entry. Just wanted to see if i know anyone on the list that i could share traveling costs etc with.

Cheers

[Oscar]

Closer to the event, once there is less liklehood of changes, we will publish an entry list for all to see :)

[DaSloth]

it would depend on where you are on the reserve list i would guess

[freddie]

Is there any spaces due to cancelations I know a couple of people who have cancelled ?
Who do I need to speak to / email ?

if you have already entered then see my post above yours i guess

[freddie]

Is there a copy of the reserve list ?

[mark christopher]

I'm not sure but entrants are not selected by order of entry so I would guess the reserve list could be random too.

[James]

Just had a quick look and there are 106 individuals - not entries on the reserve list, so you could practically double that figure for actual entry requests.. Sorry to those who don't get in this year but as you'll appreciate there are quite a few who are going to be disappointed - hopefully you'll be lucky next year, I'm sure there will be the inevitable handful who drop out near the event though.

[TARTMAN]

there is a slim chance that work(damn it to hell) might get in the way.

IF i had to withdraw fom the SC invite(paid), out of interest, would i get a refund?

tuly tying to make this happen thou......... damn you CP contracts....:(

[jimmy]

Hi mate, email the address you got the entry confirmation from and Stu will sort you out I'm sure. We run very close to a loss and can't really accomodate people changing their wishes last minute so you need to decide as soon as possible if it's likely you'll not be able to attend.

[jaysllim]

Hi guys who do i speak to about the wheelchair access thingy?

[Bungleaio]

I am going to pull out of this too. Do I need to send an email to anyone in particular?

I'm not too fussed about getting a refund but I wouldn't mind getting the T Shirt if you could post it out to me?

[tc3nitro]

I would like to know this too.
I have dropped a PM to STU but not had a reply yet.

[Robocop]

if people are pulling out do others then get a chance if getting in

[TARTMAN]

if people are pulling out do others then get a chance if getting in

I guess the reserve list will get preference!

still tying to make it happen fo my SC invite.... fingers crossed........:D

[freddie]

How do we know if we are on the reserve list ?

[footey]

everyone who applied but didnt get in are on the reserve list

[freddie]

So is it chosen by random also ?

[footey]

yes i belive it is

[James]

There are well over 100 reserves, if people drop out then a few of you on the reserve list will be lucky :)

Can someone confirm the procedure for cancelling my entry to this event ?

[mark christopher]

ill take urs mark lol

[tisher]

when will the list go up of whos racing:thumbsup:

[James]

5 minutes before racing starts - people always backout/change details at the last minute!

[freddie]

So if your on the reserve list the only way you might get a drive is to travel up an wait around ??

[Andrew Twigger]

In the absence of a dedicated thread to ask such questions, I'll ask here...

I heard or read somewhere that there will be power provided for everyone from some kind of nuclear assisted generator, is this true? I'd hate to leave my 12v at home and get caught with my proverbial pants down :blush:

Not true buddy. Power and tables are only provided for the visitors from overseas.
Everyone else must provide their own.

[mark christopher]

col at the national mains was available to those who wanted to pay for it!

You may be right, Mark, but...

taken from the application form: http://www.ooplerace.com/


PITTING
Pitting will be within the big marquee tent - with free tables / power and chairs for international drivers. You can choose to pit on your own of course, but we encourage drivers to pit in the big tent as that's where the action will be.

I may be wrong, but it implies that you should bring your own if your british

[James]

Don't know about any talk of generators, we will have mains power though in the marquee and overseas drivers will have priority, power WILL be available in the marquee upto a point, it will be £5 for the weekend. We potentially have 150 individuals (180 entries) who may want power which our supply will struggle to cope with, however at the national we coped with no problems and a pretty much full marquee of racers using our mains but not everyone pitted in the marquee - so what I'm saying is yes I'm pretty sure whoever wants power in the marquee will be able to have it, only for charging though, dont want to see any compressors/kettles/heaters/tv's etc that are going trip it. If we are having problems due to excessive demand on power and we get trips we'll have to take action accordingly - just using common sense.

[Cardnim]

Sorry for hijacking this thread a little, but couldnt start a new one.

Never been to oOple before so really looking forward to this one.

But wondering what the form is for camping on site?
I was told by some previous attendees that this is what most people do and its great fun.

So Im up for it, but couple questions:
- is it still possible?
- do I need to book a site/patch of grass/stump of tree to camp on?
- is there anywhere to get a wee wash/shower around the site?

Thanks guys! :thumbsup:

[James]

Hi Cardnim,

Yes most people camp or caravan for the oOple race, there is plenty of room but do all please park sensibly, thoughtfully and with a bit of common sense!

You don't need to book, but I'll be coming round collecting a little pitch fee (£5/ weekend for tents) or make my life easier and come and find me with your fiver please :)

We have toilets, sinks, stand pipes and a CDP for the caravans, we don't have showers, however Blyth services only 2 miles away have public showers you can use.

:thumbsup:
