The EMMA organisation announced in radioracecar magazine that there would be a class for electric 1/8th off-road at the indoor meeting at newark, but there isn't an option for it now on the entry form, has the class been scrapped ?

(it also says ic/elec on the driver list ?)

[bkelsall]

hey James,

I think you were the only one who expressed in interest in running an electric - so the electric class was scrapped about 3-5 days ago.

You still got a nitro Hong Nah havent you? :D

why is it 3 days??? bit random.. making people have to take day off???? exspensive weekend... 50 pound entry and most people going to need hotels for 2 nyts.... thats like 100 quid and you have not even started racing....:eh?:

[bondy]

You dont have to come on Friday !

Its a practise day and there is 1 practise round on Saturday Morning if you want to make it a 2 dayer !

if you want to be competetive you do. was looking forward to this one untill i found out it was 150 before i even hit the track. then when u add tyres etc, not a cheap meeting so will have to think about it

[RSharpy]

Must admit i'm tempted to do this meet, am able to borrow an 8th car for the weekend.

Ben, any chance of a entry list, how many places are left?

And hows the practice going to work on the Friday? Open or in heat order?

Cheers :)

I've just spotted a problem.

Newark Radio Controlled Car Club have their normal Friday night race meeting on the 28th.

How's it going to work with crystal clashes etc, seeing as they will be running around 100m away in one of the other halls?

Looking at the timetable I think heats 11 onwards for the thrid round of practice would be the ones that overlap as we have cars on track from 6pm-9.30ish.

Think you will find most nitro guys will be on spectrum but it could be a problem ! sure the guys will check it out !

Yup, I know a few national TC drivers still using 27mhz so if there's rally guys and girls using 27/40mhz too then its more of a 'just making it aware' thing. :thumbsup:

[bkelsall]

thanks for the thought - after tonights meeting we have a way to srt it... I think.... will be confirmed tomorrow.

Cheers for the heads up though, one of the little things you can just miss...

Ben :D
