DMS Model Car Club - Summer Shootout 2012

We are holding a "winner takes all" Summer Shootout at our Indoor venue at Parmiters Sport Centre, Watford to take place over two consecutive Thursdays - the 2nd and 9th of August.

Format is 5 rounds of qualifying and 3 legged finals for all (4 rounds on August 2nd then the 1 remaining round on August 9th followed by the 3 leg finals) there will also be 30 mins open practice at the start of each evening too.

Qualifying will be round by round format with 3 rounds from 5 to count. 3 leg finals for all

Classes for 2wd buggies, 4wd buggies and (if enough interest) stadium trucks, short course trucks and micros too.

Cost is £10 for both evenings (£5 per night), with trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each A final and the winner only of every final there after.

Booking in is on our club website - www.dmsresults.co.uk (http://www.dmsresults.co.uk)

For those who can only attend one of the two nights you are still more than welcome, however trophies will only be awarded based on finals results (so you ideally need to be there the first week to qualify) then if you are only able to attend the second week you will only have one round score counting (instead of three), however you are still more than welcome to come and race and both events will be very good practice for our upcoming BRCA Mid South regional on August 19th....
