Hello everyone. This coming sunday the 26th of April, Oswestry will be holding a round of the Bcl series.

It will be on the grass back where our national has been held in the past. This will be a good chance for you to test your cars on a full grass track for what could be the first time this year.

All classes welcome!! Be it electric or nitro!!

Please get your entries in Asap (include PT number, Brca number, classes, license grade if you have one, and as many crystals as you can preferably 3)

The forcast for the weekend so far is sun so it will be a good days racing

[panch]

Hey Ice Man !!

Have you got an email address of who to send entries too..?

Also do you know if there is likely to be a good electric turnout ??

Would like to attend but its a bit of a drive for me so would prefer to know that there wont just be 1 heat of electrics in amongst the noise and smelly nitro's !! :thumbsup:

[IceMike]

I have had a few entries from the regional held yesterday. Enough to fill a heat, and i havent got the full list of entries already made so i would say there will be a few heats of electrics. with some talent turning out to test there cars.

you can pm me entries

[matdodd]

....

[matdodd]

.....

[jono83]

Lol!!!!

[njc11]

Still 8am booking in guys?

[crtpromachine]

I would say with 78 drivers booked in they will need to get booking in on the way at 8.00 sp it gives everyone a fare chance of pratice rounds qualifying and finals;

All i can say is all have a good days racing tommorow and hope all goes well for Oswestry Club as it normally does and wish you all the best

crtpromachine

[IceMike]

Bookin in is at 8AM sharp yes, as you can imagin there will be some tight time scales but nothing we havent dealt with before and everything is prity much ready, apart from a track!! HAHAHA!!

[HarlowS]

How long are the rallyx heats and finals ??? and would electric eighth be able to join them ?? :)

[njc11]

Have you got the latest entry list to see??

Cheers

Nick
:thumbsup:

[IceMike]

not really got a new entry list i have just been adding them to the program as they come in after that, and im sure an electric 1/8 will keep up fine

[Kopite]

Mike, you rock!

[HarlowS]

So your allowing electric 8ths to race in the same heat as the Nitro's ? :thumbsup:

not really got a new entry list i have just been adding them to the program as they come in after that, and im sure an electric 1/8 will keep up fine

[IceMike]

i dont see wot the problem with it is, cars will be fairly evenly matched! and i dont think there would be enough to have a full heat as i only have the one person asking about it :p

Ok fellas im off now so i wont be online so please dont pm me any more because i wont get them.

The current drivers entered is...... 84

[IceMike]

Mike, you rock!

A

[DaveG28]

Cheers guys, top day and top meeting, nice flowing track as well in my opinion!!

[Jonesy]

Cracking day, shame I totalled the CAT in the first leg but not to worry!

Had a one-way in for the first time and it gave me so much more around the tighter sections of the Infield and also it was great to get on flat grass!!

Good effort to the Oswestry group as well, cheers all!!

[ashleyb4]

Also gotta love Stuart Harlow's A final winning the A final by a lap. The pit stop was awsome.

A

[Wacker 2]

I was hoping to race there today but couldn't due to the milage... ended up racing at a local club instead.

Did anybody take any photos of the days racing??? can you post them for all to see??

Thanks, Jon!

[panch]

Just got back..

What a day.. Cracking track, great weather & a great atmosphere, really enjoyed myself today..

Pity I overcooked the jump on the first attempt in practice, nearly landed in race control ha ha :lol: :blush:

Took a few pics and also tryed using the camera for a bit of video from one of the top 4WD heats.. link below quality isnt great but viewable..

Thanks to Ash Jono and all the guys at Oswestry who setup and ran the meeting, look forward to seeing you all at the next round in Ledbury..

[panch]

Jonesy..

Thanks or should I say thanks to your "pit crew" for the tips, Cat ran well in the finals, managed to notch an extra lap following your advice...

What were you running in yours by the way.. 5.5 ? what gearing it looked so quick...

Cheers again for the tips though mate, much appreciated..

See ya in a couple of weeks if your coming down to ledbury for the next round :thumbsup:

Shame he gets no points as its 8th NITRO Rally X :lol:
but was good to see how the electric compares

[HarlowS]

Im sure i will survive without a few points in my life :p

Thanks to Oswestry for a good track and well run day, but most important thanks to MC Yardy and the Reeves crew :woot: Couldnt of done it without you guys.

[strobe]

The next BCL event at Ledbury the electric 1/10 cars will use the electric buggy track and the Nitro's will use the Nitro track. (2 seperate tracks)

Im sure i will survive without a few points in my life :p

Thanks to Oswestry for a good track and well run day, but most important thanks to MC Yardy and the Reeves crew :woot: Couldnt of done it without you guys.

It was good to see an 8e do more than 3 laps to be honest, I like the idea as there are no nitro engines to go wrong, but it does not seem that popular as a class at the mo.

[andy reeves]

Really enjoyed yesterday. Thought the track worked really well. The jump was nice and consistant and it seamed to flow nicely.

The pit stop in the 8th final was as slick as anything you would see in F1:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[panch]

Here's another vid from the weekend, this one from in front of the jump, not the best angle and whoever was marshalling should really give the camera crew some room :lol:

Right at the end of the vid, its my car that grip rolls on the negative camber bank and into the oncoming traffic.. Shock ripped off mine.. not sure about the other car.. appologies if it was yours.. :blush:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4C4V9-wFGA

[andy reeves]

Sorry for hitting your car. didn't mean too, just could react in time. Was my own fault for being off line in the corner before. Was there much damage done to your car?

[panch]

Andy no probs all part of racing..Wasnt too bad just the shock ball end ripped off nothing i couldnt fix. Plus watching the video back I liked the sound effects added by the marshal stood by my camera ha ha

Pity though had just made the changes Jonesy suggested and was on the charge :lol: thought I was gonna get the 13 needed for the A final..

[Richard_Griffiths]

ha ha you have to love the deep intake of breath as your car gets hit.

[IceMike]

Id like to thank you all for coming and making our meeting a sucsessful one. in this time of ecernomic hardship its these meetings that help the clubs get through the year. Thank you for so many of you that turned out and for the comments you made about the track and our jump. And hope that you notice that we do try and take on the comments that you make about our tracks and try to improve them for the meetings of the future.

Hope you all have a good season and look forward to seeing you all at oswestry in the future

Mike

[panch]
