WBMCC are proud to present their Indoor Off Road Championships in association with our sponsors Schumacher Racing. Held in West Bridgford, Nottingham, on one of the biggest carpet tracks in the country. The Indoor off road championships have been very popular in previous years and after a year break the series is back again!

Dates: 01.12.12, 19.01.13, 16.02.13, 23.03.13

Venue: West Bridgford School, Loughborough Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 7FA

The track is one of the biggest carpet tracks in the country (592 square meters) and with the addition of purpose built jumps and obstacles, and also surface changes, WBMCC offer a great challenge to all drivers of all abilities.

Classes: 2wd buggies, 4wd buggies, SCT 2wd and SCT 4wd (SCT classes will be only run If enough apply)

Rules for all classes can be found by clicking here (http://www.wbmcc.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=61&Itemid=69)

Pre-booking: Pre-booking for this can be found on this page. Pre-booking is essential for the championship so that we know that the meetings can go ahead. Pre-booking will close the Tuesday night prior to each event.

Click here for pre-booking (http://www.wbmcc.com/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=70)

Price: £10.00 per class per day, £7.00 if you do another class on the same day.

Championship: Each event is split into two rounds of the championship. One round points based on qualifying position, second round based on final finishing position. Out of the total 8 rounds of the championship, 5 will count towards the end of series standings. At the end of the series trophies will be provided to the winners, we will also be holding an end of season raffle. To enter the raffle, each round of the championship you enter will get you a ticket, so the more rounds you enter the more chances you have of winning. (Please note that to gain entry to the raffle you need to have done enough rounds to qualify for the championship.)

Sounds good Rob, look forward to that.

Front shock tower protectors for this ( as required by the rules to stop carpet damage ) can be purchased from Jolly Goodz. I use them all year round anyway to protect the shock tops and towers.

So these are on Saturday's?

[Robbiejuk]

Toby,

Yeah unfortunatley some other sports club has booked the hall for four hours every sunday throughout the winter... :cry:

We wanted to do it on a sunday but it was not possible. So rather than not having a series at all we decided to run on saturdays again.

I know it won't suit everyone but it is out of our control unfortunatley.

Rob

[dbizzle5]

Saturdays are cooooooool!:cool:

[Robbiejuk]

I knew it would be to your liking Mr Austin. saturday racing ftw!:lol:

[john333]

ive booked in for all of them, not raced there for many years and looking forward to it!

[Timee80]

I was really looking forward to this, but Saturdays are a definite no for me

[Robbiejuk]

Sorry dude, sundays would have been great but it's a no go this year for us. :cry:

[Robbiejuk]

Thanks to everyone who has booked in so far :thumbsup:

We would like to ask that everyone pre-books as soon as they know they can attend as we need to know numbers before the meetings.

This is to allow us to use the small gym for pitting so we can have a bigger track :thumbsup:

Booking in will close Tuesday before each event so plenty of time to get thos bookings in to us.

Roll on round 1 :thumbsup:

[Dave Dodd]

Less than a month to go until the first round, in the new well lit and heated sports hall :D

get booked in, you know you want to.. :thumbsup:

[Dave Dodd]

Yay, finally booked myself in :lol:

still plenty of room for anyone else thinking of joining us :thumbsup:

[brooksy]

I've entered this year,looking forward to a change from Worksop. Some good racing hopefully!.:)

[Dave Dodd]

:D yay not long now.

still time for you to join in :D

[rcmodelweek]

I entered this morning! I was wondering what is classed as an acceptable shock tower protector? Would a shaped piece of lexan covering the top of the shock tower be ok? I'm running a durango 410, if anyone has any pictures of what they use it would be a great help.

[wes j.]

Cheers Rich. I will have protectors with me on the day selling them in packs of two for £5.

[chuckie stella]

Saturdays are cooooooool!:cool:

YUP!!! ;)

[Robbiejuk]

Right Guys,

The good news is that we have enough pre-bookers to use both the Gym and the Hall. This means bigger track to race on !:drool:

Based on this then I am going to leave pre-booking open till Thursday night. Numbers are getting close to capacity in the 2wd class so don't leave it till the last minute! Get yourselves booked in!

Just designing round ones track as we speak :D

[Dave Dodd]

Brilliant :D:D

2wd's nearly back together :lol: just need my lipo strap eh Rob.. :p

[RDG 40]

Great news on track bigger the beta!! Cant wait

[chuckie stella]

Rob,

If the meeting is full mate, what's your estimated finish time please.

Trying to convince the wife to let me race 3 times this week is proving difficult :woot:

Thanks,

Matt

[rcmodelweek]

Its probably posted somewhere and I have missed it, but what time is booking in and first heat/practice Saturday please, as I have a two and a half hour drive to get there!
Thanks,
Barry.

Doors open at 8am

practice/booking in 8:15am

safe journey and see you Saturday morning :thumbsup:

[rcmodelweek]

Thanks for all the info Dave, sorry for all the pain in the a**e questions! One last question though, do you have tables for pitting, or do I need to bring my own table and chair?
Thanks again,
Looking forward to meeting you Saturday.:thumbsup:

[Robbiejuk]

We don't have any tables, so you will need to bring your own I am afraid. We do have chairs you can borrow, all we ask is that you put them back where you got them from when you have finished. Also an idea to bring extension cable as power is availiable but sockets are limited so usually everybody piggybacks off each other.

[Robbiejuk]

Sorry matt I missed this. Guessed you have convinced her as you have booked in :woot:

[Robbiejuk]

Thanks to everybody who has pre-booked so far! Still another day left to get thos entries in for round 1 !

[Robbiejuk]

Ok pre-booking has closed for round 1 so that we can get everybody into the computer. There are still places availiable so you can turn up on the day if you want.

Roll on tommorow morning! :D

Some cracking feedback from round one in this thread:

Thansk to everyone who turned up to the first meeting of the series. Was excellent to have such a good turnout. We hope you all enjoyed it and will see you at the next round in January :thumbsup:

[Dave Dodd]

only 3 weeks till the next round :D

And a few other things as well.

WE still need more people to pre-book to secure the use of the small Gym, enabling us to run the full track.

Get those entries in please :)

[Robbiejuk]

Good news. We have enough people pre-booked so we can book the small hall again.

We will also leave pre-booking open till 5:00pm on Friday the 18th so you still have time to get those entries in if required.

Looking at the pre-bookers I am suprised we haven't had more 4wd buggies booked in with the recent release of the Cat K1 and the Xb4 so if you got one of those for christmas bring it along and take advantage of the cheaper second class. :D

We look forward to seeing you on the 19th of January. :thumbsup:

Hi chaps, how many rounds to qualify and count towards series? I've done one round of 2wd and would like to change over to 4wd but want to complete this great series :)

[Robbiejuk]

Well its five out of eight so you need to do the remaining three in four wheel drive to get enough rounds in.

Slightly confused, However, I'll get booked in now then :confused:

Or maybe both :o

[dbizzle5]

Each round counts as 2 seperate rounds. Qualifying counts as 1 round and finals as another round. So the next meeting will be rounds 3 and 4.

Cheers, Danny boy. I understand now :blush:

[Robbiejuk]

Hi guys.

West Bridgford school are having their driveway resurfaced, so as such the next few weeks access to the grounds will be through South Notts college on greythorne drive.

Please click here for location of entrance (https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=52.919627,-1.143992&ll=52.91664,-1.140776&spn=0.013482,0.042272&num=1&t=h&z=15)

So for the next round, on the 19th the site will be accessed at the link above.

Turn into the college then immediate left and follow the drive round to the rear carpark, which is near where you normally park.

[Dave Dodd]

Racing this Saurday is going ahead :D

all the roads to and from the college are used all the time and access is off a main road so shouldn't be any problems :D
