Al

[Northern Monkey]

Is there going to be a control tyre for this meeting ?

Hi Freddie

Tyres will be controlled to BRCA National rules, so Schumacher or Balistic Buggy, minispikes only on the drive axle(s), any compound

Cheers

Al

[freddie]

Ok thank you

[Northern Monkey]

Just to make sure everyone gets to seen the updated info below is a copy of a post on the Torch thread from Uncle Tony...

Hi yah all
A few things I would like to mention as Rob must be busy and Mike is on holiday and no doubt everyone is running around like headless chickens.

Some recaps and some news!!!


New Track
Firstly the track at TORCH will be TOTALLY new to every competitor.
It will be a total new layout with no one allowed to practice prior to the event. The last chance to practice at the venue is this weekend at the summer series but on the current layout and not the GP layout.

Best Presented Buggy
There is a competition for the best presented buggy and this will be done between qualifying and finals. The buggies would have had to be used as to eliminate the shelf queens that are out there. The painted body obviously is a massive scoring part of a well presented buggy but we are looking beyond that. The wing, wheels, tyres, wiring and so on, are also part of the consideration. We will be removing bodies as we get to the sharp end of the scoring.

Camping
Camping for Friday and Saturday is available and obviously has to be organised via the club.

Raffle
I know a few shops are attending this event and they have donated various prizes for the mega raffle.
I believe, £1 per ticket and with prizes into the hundreds if not thousands its certainly worth it.
RudeBits as you may be aware have donated a new DB1 conversion

Entry List
I do believe there are still a limited number of spaces left.
Many of the National superstars are complimenting this event and more importantly with no pressures on those stars, it’s a chance to actually say hello and see them away from the pressure racing scene!!

Tyres and Car Scrutiny
To keep it all sweet and within reasonable budgets, we know everyone has, runs and knows the National tyres of Schumacher and Ballistic spikes……we will stick to these tyres for the event and therefore all fair for everyone.
Weight, dimensions etc will be checked by the club even if they chose to do it at random…..

Timekeeping
I am excited to hear that the main man, Stuart Whyman is in the house and heads the timekeeping for the LMR/RudeBits GP at TORCH.
If you guys don’t know who Stuart is, then you simply haven’t lived.
Stuart is the pinnacle of timekeeping and is the BRCA National Timekeeper.
Be careful though as he bites – LOL

Race format
2wd = Saturday
4wd = Sunday – Less competitors Sunday so we can get you on your way back as soon as possible
4 rounds of qualification
1 leg finals for all – 3 leg main A Finals
Dash 4 Cash race – excludes top 20 drivers and will be picked at random…….this is something to watch!! ---- Please don't hold me to it but I think the winner gets £50, 2nd gets £30 and 3rd gets £20 !!!!!!!

Food
There will be available food on the racing days via a NEW burger wagon that is very clean and the guy there does a lovely french stick breakfast and chips and all that stuff...........a very nice pub called the Cricketers is within walking distance of the track for the winner of the Dash 4 Cash prize

Booking in
You can see who is booked in and of course enter yourself via the link here http://gp.torchracing.co.uk/

Hello Chaps,
Sorry could you take my name off the 2wd list (Ben Lea not yet confirmed) as It seems we have to unexpectedly move house that weekend now :cry:

[MattADH]

Just wondering if the club will be setting up a wireless network for those who use BBK RC Netscreen in the pits?

[mikeyscott]

Hi Guys

Wesley and myself at the last meeting at TORCH managed to blow both of our esc's (LRP SXX & Hobbywing V3) so unfortunatly we are both unable to attend, which is a great shame as we were both looking forward to it.

Have a great meeting guys and see you all again soon.

Cheers

Mark

[TARTMAN]

[jamiekerr14]

[mikeyscott]

Ah great shame :(

[Robocop]

Hi
What time on friday does the field
Open for camping?
Thanks

[rob8246]

Just to clarify that the GP controlled tyres are as follows:

Schumacher mini spikes (original/Mk2)
Ballistic Buggy mini spikes

Any compound is fine.

This follows the BRCA national rules and this information was stated on the event booking in page.

RR.

[spenner]

Roll on Friday.....

'This weekend is gonna be sick....bitches'

[InsideLineModels]

I'll have plenty of Tyres with me at the weekend, but if you want to reserve them, or anything else, order in advance online and select trackside pickup at checkout. I'll have them with me when I arrive on Friday night.

We are pleased to be able to add to the raffle and up for grabs will be some vouchers from us that can be used for anything in the shop.

£20 x 1
£10 x 2
£5 x 2


Really looking forward to this one, see you all there!

Kev

Not me..

I don't own a tent after it got burnt down at Le Mans a couple of years back. Bloody Dannes.. Thankfully all my kit was in the car and they gave me a huge stack of cash... Either way wasn't the best thing to happen Friday with two nights still left at Le Mans / La Sarthe.

[hazeandfizz]

Mikey,

I've got a nice tent for sale!
