2012 F2's, Juniors and Vets- Broxtowe MCC

[dbizzle5]

This years F2's Juniors and Vets is being held at Broxtowe Model Car club in Nottingham just 10 minutes from Junction 26 of the M1. Address is here

Hall Park
Mansfield Road
Eastwood
Nottingham
NG16 3EA

Club website is here- http://www.broxtowemcc.org.uk/index.html

Camping available free of charge:thumbsup:

The event is being held on our new astroturf track with brand new rostrum built this month which is awsome! The club has both a permanent offroad track and on road tarmac track. The tarmac track will be open to use on the Friday and Saturday evenings so if youve always wanted to have a blast around a tarmac track with your buggy now is the time. If there is enough interest we can even put a race on the Saturday night on the tarmac track?

PBM Racing will be there for tyres spares etc

Heres some pics of the track and new rostrum and will be adding some pics of the entrance and parking/pitting areas shortly.

The track is a true all weather track with built in drainage and can be run in any weather. Grip is great even in the wet.

Any questions please use this thread to ask. :thumbsup:

[Wraggy]

Dan when is it ? might pop down and show my face :p

[dbizzle5]

1st and 2nd of September Wraggy! We'll get the red carpet out for you!:p

[Ralls Racing]

would be good to see you down there wraggy. has been to long buddy

Nathan

[Jonesy]

So time for the banter to start! who will the F2's this year? I always go for Tony Bishop so I will back him again although I have a feeling there may be a very strong Mid East team out to win

If Ashley is not running the Juniors I'd be backing him although there is always a random contender at these events as we always know!

[GRIFF55]

I go for bloomers!

[AndrewCaunt]

Bloomers or Tony Truman

[AndrewCaunt]

Ashleys doing Juniors Conor was on about doing F2s we will see.

[Ralls Racing]

either bloomers trueman or ed kerry for the f2's, ash is looking very good for the juniors but will have local jack neal for close company with conner and kyle not to far behind ;)
in the vets you will be brave to go against defending champ gnarly ;) not sure on under 13s but george colman could be one to watch :p

[RudeTony]

Darren, TT and also Elliott Boots could be there too!
David Burton could be there.
Glen Westwood could be there.

The F2s this year could really be hard one to call.

My money is my Team mate (there is your clue) but I am only giving the initials - you lot will have to figure it out

SB

LMAO

[quarter throttle]

C-CUP CAN WIN THE F2'S! :thumbsup:

[RudeTony]

I keep thinking Ash is a F1 - rethinking this is actually could be more than one Team mate - LOL

I will be there for any help the Kyosho-Orion lads - so just pop over - mine will be Tea with 2 please and after racing just the single beer :)

[GRIFF55]

That stands for SMOOTH BURTON surely?

[RudeTony]

Smooth???
You've been looking at the wrong car mate.......although im sure he has regained his F1 licence first time back after nearly 10 years

[big_whyman]

Darren, TT and also Elliott Boots could be there too!

Methinks someone is trying to stir the pot:D

[gwesty]

hi , im confused now !!:cry: keith wardle said at stotfold i wasnt eligable for the f2s as im currently f5 until next season ? is there a on line entry form ? thanks glenn

[RudeTony]

I will stand to be corrected but priority will always be with current F2 drivers but lower grade drivers can enter this event if its not filled up with F2s from that region ie 10 ish.....I would suggest that you ring or email Keith.......Keith is excellent and there must of been a misunderstanding somewhere.....In the end of year F2 Championship there must be a choice of the 3 competitions running along each other though - F2 - Juniors and Vets - maybe he thought you was old like me!!

[Moss Models]

Does anyone one know what the format is? i.e. 2wd Sat 4wd Sunday?

[Belsten]

Are you doing the Vets old boy ?

[RudeTony]

Are you doing the Vets old boy ?

Why not eh?
You're still a youngster though are you not?

What about Griff - he's over 60 surely!! LOL

[GRIFF55]

Hahahaaaaa, yeh I am. Just having my midlife crisis and unsure what to do............sounds about right hey bav?

[RudeTony]

Get yourself up there - we will have a great laugh!

[Br00kie]

Hi Guys

Sorry to interrupt your thread with Newb questions. This "vet" race what's the qualifying criteria? I know you have to be "over the hill" so I would definitely be in with a shout there. Do you need to have attended/raced in regional or national races to get a place ? Or is it open to any old boy that fancies a weekend playing toy cars.

Many thanks for your help :)

Steve

[john333]

Pretty sure the closing date for entries has past now. May be wrong on this but entries went to your regional rep or direct to the BRCA by 12th August?

How do people who have entered know if they are in, by Post??

[dbizzle5]

Different for each region i think mate but Nathan said for Mid East he will post a list on oople once he knows.

Toy Cars? This is serious stuff you know!!
Only joking!
You would of had to do some regional BRCA events to be able to enter

I think the closing date is the 19th but some regionals have run late so I belive there is a give or take scenario if with good reason of course

[john333]

Thanks :thumbsup:

Quote from Paul Worsley
British Formula 2 Championship:

Ideally, the best drivers from each Region (excluding Formula 1 grade drivers) would compete for the British Formula 2 Championship (F2‟s), thus deciding the British Formula 2 Champion. This event is the logical next step on from your Regional events. If you have been the top F2 in your Region this is the opportunity to go National and try to beat all the other F2 competitors in the country? All entries from F2 drivers for this event will be given placement priority over entries from F3/4/5 drivers as they have their own dedicated event (F345‟s – see below). In reality, due to work, education or holiday commitments, we rarely get the all the best F2 drivers attending from each Region (i.e. the highest finishing F2‟s in the Regional series) so if you would like to take part, it is strongly recommended, even if you finished well down the Regional standings, that you submit the following Formula 2 entry form to your Regional Rep. You would be surprised the levels of success some Regional Reps. achieve in gaining places for their drivers at these competitions!

ATTENTION: Competitors that qualify for more that one of the three events (Junior’s, Veteran’s or F2’s) must nominate which single event they wish to enter. No competitor can take part in more than one event on the same day. The F2 event is open to any competitor (except F1 Grade for 2012), although priority will be give to F2’s before any lower Grades. The Junior event is open to any competitor of any Licence Grade aged under 13 or 16 as at 01.01.12. The Veteran event is open to any competitor that is 40 or over on 01.01.12.

*

excluding Formula 1 grade drivers - Not F3/4/5s - only F1

All entries from F2 drivers for this event will be given placement priority over entries from F3/4/5 drivers - Note the priority

priority will be give to F2’s before any lower Grades - self explanatory to me

It's a shame both current veterans champions won't be defending their titles! Never mind, leaves room on the trophies for a new name.

[Spencer Mulcahy]

I can do the vets next year bring it on lol. My vote for it being at southport next year ye ha.

[MikePimlott]

Really!!!!

I thought you could have done it a couple of years ago :woot:

You and Stu Hurley next year then :thumbsup:

[jimdaloo]

Could my son ollie currie come and race if we can make it he is currently f5 rating and 12 years old

[Rich D]

Could my son ollie currie come and race if we can make it he is currently f5 rating and 12 years old

You apply for a place at the meeting via your regional rep. What region do you race in ? You'll probably have more success gaining entry to the f3 4 5 finals meeting at Southport instead.

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Really!!!!

I thought you could have done it a couple of years ago :woot:

You and Stu Hurley next year then :thumbsup:

Ha ha funny man you would think you are ready looking at you (did you have a hard paper round) LOL. Mr Whittle will be eligable as well next year maybe this year even, Ellis will be the year after so we will have to do a good job next year.

[Belsten]

Andy Griff certainly top 3 if not the win :thumbsup:

[mikeyscott]

Andy Griff certainly top 3 if not the win :thumbsup:

Certainly 4wd. Two fast people I'd watch for 4wd, Ed Kerry and Andy. I think both TD boys.

Mind you also expect plenty of fast locals to be rocking in and I'm sure the odd wildcard nitro racer

Just Speaking to Tony Evdoka who is on his way up for weekend.

He asked me to remind all the Kyosho guys to see him for help and advice as he always offers, in fact anyone is welcome to say hello even if they drive non Kyosho. He's very friendly and helpful!! especially if you have food or drink ;-)

[RogerM]

Wish I was going up .... first time in many years I won't be doing any of the EOS events :(

Good luck to all the Kyosho lads and the Mid West lads too of course!

Thanks to everyone involved it was a great meeting.

Dave

[tony12795]

Griff, how many times did you pop a ball joint over the weekend ?

[Belsten]

Too many :woot: Plus 2 snapped wishbones lol

[millzy]

needed a more enthusiastic pit crew lol

Had a good time, track was very good to drive on, well done to all involved.


and a big thank you to the welsh Corner who gave a Mexican wave every lap i went passed during the C final

[hazeandfizz]

Just wanted to say very well done to the Broxtowe crew, what a brilliant setup you have. One of the best meetings I've had the pleasure to attend.

Had a great laugh racing with the old boys:thumbsup:.

Also a big thanks to all at Ralls Racing for your help over the weekend.

Thanks,
James.

P.S I also think you should try to get a National.

[Dave Dodd]

excellent event, enjoyed the track :D.. despite me only finishing 1 race :cry:

big well done to the broxtowe crew :thumbsup:

thanks to Jono, for letting me use half his pit table and gazebo :D

[lastplace]

No No No :cry: i don't want a national ,

Please no more checking batteries car weights and fitting Durangos in the box , stuck in scrutineering most of two days my legs are still like jelly.

Vets bringing in juniers cars, Juniers bringing in the vets cars all so confusing to a senile old fool like me Rodger had the best idea don't race the sunday.
A well done to Roger getting into the A in the vets on Saturday :thumbsup:

unable to drive my own track, I crashed on the second table top every other lap, disloged motors, rip screws out of shocks. ended up in the C final of the vets both days.

two long 15 hr days for me up at 5 home at 8 and no sleep over night

I know Andy would love to get A national down here :D the track is good enough for it but we need more commeted Club members to do it justice for a National

[xtreme-rc]

it was good to be back for this event after so many years, have all ways enjoyed this meeting and can not wait until brad is old enough for the under 13`s
the broxtowe club did a fine job putting on this meeting and we look forward to coming back.
must say well done to the two young drivers from the south east that did so well, george tolly 2nd in the U13`s and kyle moon, 2nd in the U16`s , that`s not forgetting all the others that gave so much.
if any body want`s ed`s set up`s for either day please PM us
les and ed kerry

[MHeadling]

Well done at the weekend Ed and Les, great result! :)

Excuse my ignorance but do the winners/top 3 of this event get upgraded to F1 status?

Or is F status just done on regional/ national standings percentage wise??

I don't think it changes your grades Mark. I'm sure Ed Kerry was a F5 going into the meeting. Pretty sure it's just your regional/national finishes that gives your grade.

Dave

[MHeadling]

Double post

[MHeadling]

Ok cheers for clearing that up Dave

[discostu]

No it doesn't mark

Ed won the 3,4,5 last year in some style, much to my disappointment he will probably win again this year no dought a display of raw talent he make me sick

Ed i can still woop you with a TC tho :-)

Good job for the results and well done to all juniors

Stu

[xtreme-rc]

hi stu
thanks for the kind comments, perhaps TC with jumps!!!!!
i gather you are running a centro at southport?
ed had not driven his until saturday practice and found it very good, but will loose the kyosho shocks for the f3`s so should go better, look forward to racing with you buddy
les

[MHeadling]

So 10th nationals next year then Ed/Les??

Be great seeing you guys mixing it with the F1 lads

[discostu]

i wont be running a centro i couldnt warrant the price tag.

[MHeadling]
