Sounds good, like the idea of a extra outdoor event for the year. Posted this on Kettering Model Car Club facebook page. We have 7/8 drivers racing in the Iconic Revival this year so should be able to put a few cars on the various grids. With the Cathorpe Interchange finished Coventry just got 10 mins nearer to Kettering too.
Look forward to news on a date for the event.

[john wolfe]

Guys can i run my old tamiya tt01 rally car bath tub chassis pls let me know asap so i can book in
Thank you

[Dyna]

Could you fill in a couple of things please ?

Most important for me is meeting times/schedules - ive a near 3-hour road trip to get there so knowing start time would be handy !

Also, can you enter two classes ? I'd quite like to run 2 and 4wd, but that doesnt seem to be an option on the entry form ? Or can we just fill out the entry form twice, once for 2wd and once for 4wd ?

Thank you.... :)

[spudnuts]

Gates open at 7.30 with booking in from 8. Start time dependant on numbers but probably 1st race on the line about 9.30

Just fill in the form twice for 2 classes.

Hi, I'd like to take part in this event along with my brothers - there would be 4 of us in total. As we Haven't raced for a couple of years we don't have BRCA membership. Would it be ok for us to take part in this race meeting without this? I understand that most clubs now, in line with BRCA guidelines, allow a new person to take part in 3 or so race meetings at a club before requiring this membership.

Between us we'd be racing the following cars, maybe using different cars in different heats to get them used and make things interesting!
Mardave Apache
Mardave Meteor
Mardave Cobra
Kyosho Ultima homebrew
Original RC10
Losi XX
Schumacher Cougar2000
Schumacher Procat

Thanks

Ray

[Mark A]

BRCA is prefered.
rule is if you have had a licence in the past you will need a new licence, if you have raced at 3 meetings with out a licence you will now need a licence.
For the Fee of £20 it is worth the insurance cover then you can race at other events.

[xfactor]

Hi all,

Just a reminder,

If you are wanting to race at the Coventry Classic Meeting on June 10th, Don't forget to pre-book via the Link.......:thumbsup:

Cheers all.

[Suzukitudor]

Hi all.

Hope you don't mind me hijacking this thread a little bit. Shrccc is also running a vintage meet in association with Iconic on the 3rd of September. The Super Off-roader.

More details and booking in to follow.

All these vintages meets! Awesome.

I can't make this one but see some of you at the A1 iconic!

[xfactor]

Just thought I would show my brand new built AVANTE, ready for this coming June 10th Coventry Model Car Club Vintage Meeting.

I wanted an Avante back in 1989 when I started racing. But could not afford one, so ended up with a Tamiya Terra Scorcher.

NOW !! Come June 10th my nearly 30 yrs of wait will be over.:D

So if you haven't booked in for this Vintage Meeting on June 10th !! GET BOOKED IN !!...........:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Avante showing electrics installed and driver ready !!!!:thumbsup:

CLICK TO ENLARGE...........YEAH BABY !!!
