EPR National 2009

[MattADH]

What with the annoucement of the second annual legends race at this year's EPR National, I thought a thread would be good for people to ask questions, etc...

[MattADH]

Along with the legends race, there will also be a Concours Competition both days with a prizes for the winner on both days.

Only one rule is that it will be a 2WD body comp on Saturday and 4WD body comp on the Sunday and the shells entered must have been used in qualifying so no shelf queens allowed!

[David Church]

Have you ordered the sunshine like Oz did?????:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[trekkerkk]

i thought that was your job dc:thumbsup:,lolol,

[MattADH]

We will be hosting a regional on Sunday 7 June at EPR and this will be the last race meeting before the National two weeks after.

There will be a open class running alongside the 4WD regional one so if you have raced in another region and scored points there, or if you want to race your 2WD as well, the opportunity is there.

The everyone in the regional meeting and the open class will get four qualifiers and two finals with the A finalists in the regional getting three legs.

Any questions, please ask...

No! not after he ordered the Faversham weather! lol

So if i want to race 2wd and 4wd this weekend matt im assuming there will only be one final which will be mixed? Does that mean i get a discount :P only joking!

Fingers crossed i'll just be using a 2wd!:drool:

what kinda time we looking at arriving? i assume its the usual free practise etc?

There is no reason why you cant use both chassis' during qualifying. We are hoping for a reasonable turnout so if we get around 14 open drivers then there will be two heats and we would be happy for you to run one after the other...

We run two legs for everyone except the regional A who gets three as per the BRCA rules.

Please arrive no earlier than 8am and we will open up the track 8.30am if not earlier. Qualifying will be at 10am and we will try to turn things round quickly.

Hope to see you there!

[David Church]

Hahahahahaha:thumbsup:

[David Church]

With just over a week to go till the EPR national it's very quiet on here????
Maybe we don't want to upset Jimmy!!!! And hope he won't hold the report back till 2010:o:o:o:thumbsup:

[Northy]

I've heard the report will be kick ass boss :thumbsup:

[stuartw]

I remember the cr*p journey down last year via the M1 - travelled M1-M25 - QE Bridge etc
Whats the state of the roadworks around Luton now, should we find an alternative route?

[_sleigh_]

It's about 10m further, but you could go via the M40

[Northy]

A1's where it's at boss, and don't follow Rich Coates through London! :lol::lol::lol:

G

[HKP]

The M1 roadworks are gone now, but a few nasties round by jcnt. 25-26 on the M25 with the tunnel refurbishment.

From the North M1/M25 is the best route really. NE you can try the A1/A14/M11 possibly? Don't go through London though! QE2 bridge all the way :)

[IceMike]

wot time will the gates be opens plz?? gunna be a nice short relaxin drive for me this year, in essex to start with, SCORE!!!!

[MattADH]

We are saying midday but if you are a little earlier, it wont be a problem...

[IceMike]

okies kewl, sorry i havent been payin alot of attention, but camping and things are fine, is there any entertainment, are there shops close?? all the usual things really

Friday afteroons/evenings around the bridge is rubbish so you can expect to queue for a while - sorry.

The M25 can be problematic anytime day or night but the M25 is arguably the best route - at least there are services if you need a break.

[MattADH]

okies kewl, sorry i havent been payin alot of attention, but camping and things are fine, is there any entertainment, are there shops close?? all the usual things really

Camping is no problem as we are blessed with a large grass area.

Entertainment-wise, unfortunately I dont think there is anything planned but the bar onsite will be open from midday Friday til late. I am sure that a few spent some time in the bar last time round..


There is a local parade of shops within walking distance (five mins) but if you come from J4 on the M25, you will pass West Wickham Sainsbury's and this is a five-minute drive from the track. There is a cafe as well a kebab shop, indian and a pub in the parade whilst Jimmy's personal favourite of McDonalds is again a five-minute drive.

HTH

[MattADH]

Thought that this may help...

[Chrislong]

There is a Domino's, Chinese, KFC too, then head to the mini-roundabout and take a right (4 o'clock) there is a mini-express-supermarket at the petrol station - good for stocking up with butties etc.

Is the venue providing a BBQ like last year too?

Yes there is plenty of fast food around - I will be at the track if anyone wants further details.

As far as we know, the club has no plans to put anything on Saturday night as they have a wedding reception on in the function room. If anything changes, we can let you know.

The local delivery places will come out as we checked at our last regional with a Dominos Pizza delivery to Racer Control!

[Belsten]

can we get in to the wedding reception :thumbsup:

[Jonesy]

can we get in to the wedding reception :thumbsup:


Hit on the Bride Belsten?? There may be some nice looking bridesmaids??

[MattADH]

Hopefully we can attract some local interest...
Thanks to the guys who put this together.

[MattADH]

Tempting fate I know but the long range forecast on Metcheck is dry until after the National...

Fingers crossed.

[RudeTony]

Along with the legends race, there will also be a Concours Competition both days with a prizes for the winner on both days.

Only one rule is that it will be a 2WD body comp on Saturday and 4WD body comp on the Sunday and the shells entered must have been used in qualifying so no shelf queens allowed!


I hope all have those really nice bodyshells all fresh for the concours.
Looking forward to seeing the best looking shell.....Oh and don't worry Matt, the weather is going to be just fine.....

[trekkerkk]

im finally in for 4wd woop woop:thumbsup:
3rd in 2wd getting better

[MikePimlott]

Any shops planning on going ????

Really looking forward to this weekend :thumbsup:

[Darren Boyle]

I believe that MK and the Race Place will both be there....

[Northy]

Are there showers at EPR? I can't remember. :bored:

[Kifogrande]

MK will be there...:thumbsup:

[MattADH]

Any shops planning on going ????

Really looking forward to this weekend :thumbsup:

MK Racing is the official shop of the club and will be present first thing on Saturday morning. They will be located on the main straight at the banked corner end.

To make sure that he has what you want trackside, I would suggest that you drop him an e-mail or give him a call if you have any specific requests.

[MattADH]

Are there showers at EPR? I can't remember. :bored:

Yes we have requested that the changing rooms are open - just ask if you have a problem.

[Garry Spice]

for those coming from up north be warned.....the QE2 BRIDGE has verible speed trap cameras all along it now...its 50mph all the way to the tolls.

[MattADH]

Yes there are cameras up but I am unsure that they are active yet as there is a small sign at the first set that state "cameras not in use."

I use the bridge everyday but only very rarely am I able to go faster than 20mph anyway!

[RudeTony]

My buggies go faster than that Matt :lol:

[David Church]

I will be at the track tomorrow along with Alfie and Nathan Higgins painting curbs all day so you lot can come and leave tyre marks all over them!!!!!

Anyone else out there fancy helping, I will have plenty of brushes and Brewers have kindly donated the paint once again as they did last year!!!!






Shameless promotions strike again!!!!!!!:woot::woot::woot:

Hmm, now there's a thought.
Hot pizza for breakfast - normally it's cold:lol:

Breakfast pizza - with sausage, bacon, egg and tomato toppings.

Is there no limit to the versatility of this humble italian inspired foodstuff ????

The only trick is getting them to open at 8am!!!!!

With a hundred and 120 hungry racers plus pit crews, they'd be mad to turn down the business :lol:

[Northy]

Are you guys saying there is no catering on site? :eh?:

Yeah can you confirm for defo please?

Not sure??? The clubhouse has provided grub during football season, but not sure what is happening this weekend, BUT I am sure it will be looked into!!!

[James]

Yeh i need bacon sandwiches and a cup of tea to start the day :cry: ?

I cant believe that this has started such silly rumours! :mad:

An important pre-requisite of hosting a national is to provide catering from first thing on Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon. Don’t worry, we will have a similar set-up to last year with all the usual hot food available in the kids play area to the side of the track where there is also some tables and chairs. The bar will be open from midday.

Hope that puts an end to the concerns!

[blitzboy]

thanks matt for clearing that all up mate , sorry did nt want to start it all mate , did nt think it would kick off like this i was just looking for some sensible responce

[RudeTony]

I have NO DOUBT that if the personnel at EPR can organise a Fab track, Concours competitions, Legend race, Mega raffle and God know what else, then they are more than capable in making sure the catering is up to everyones needs.....furthemore the majority of the EPR committee are experienced racers and I personally think that is a massive advantage to us all as they know what is needed for a great event......
I am certainly looking forward to this weekend....

[brookie]

Thanks Tony for the kind comments and the support that you have already given us pre-event:thumbsup:

Shouldn't really be surprised how such unbelieveable rummours start on here, not the first time and I'm sure as hell it won't be the last:mad: As Matt has said it's a pre-requisite for a National, it's simple really, among the many criteria stipulated by the BRCA, no food, no National!

And lets confirm, here and now, some of the bonuses that the facilities adjacent to Eden Park Raceway include:

Improved access over last year.
Huge car parking, pitting, camping and caravanning areas.
A selection of toilet and shower facilities in the clubhouse.
An on site Trattoria (cafe) that will be open on Friday between 08:30 and 17:00 (ish!) for the earlier arrivals.
Bar facilities, open from 12:00 each day.
Today a Portaloo is being delivered for use by the overnighters!

There's more, much more, to EPR but I've got to stop here as now got to get up the track for another 8 - 10 hours hard preparation which I'm sure you'll all thanks the EPR members for personally:thumbsup:

hows it going dc

[YoungChazz]

A quick report after three rounds, Ellis is TQ with the X - 6 Squared. He has won all three qualifiers with 15-lap runs, and is the only driver on 15 laps. Ellis' New Math is absolutely dialed.

Interesting how things work in this world. This report comes to me here in the USA via cell phone from the track, then back to oOple in U.K.

And then bounced out to me in Monaco :)

Excellent news for Ellis, lets just hope he seals the win in the first 2 legs now ;)

[stegger]

Any more news chazz :lol:

[rob8246]

Kev Lee takes the win today! :D

Cragg was leg 1 winner but he broke in 3rd leg when looking to seal the win but was 4th overall. Grant Williams came in at the 2 spot.

The weather did play it's part with showers so tyre choice was critical between yellows and greens. Kev obviously got it right.

Will be at the track tommorow as 1st reserve for 4wd so may get to play.

Will post post race updates throughout the day :-)

[jim76]

top man Kev! Long overdue another national win.

Rob, To be fair to Kev (AFAIK) he ran yellows still (new ones) in the run when it rained to take the leg win, not so much the tyres were right more his car!!! :woot: Ellis was also on yellows bot nowhere near as dialled as Kev was, then Kev went on and won the leg 3 fom the very first corner right through to the flag, he was never challenged really.

Three 2wd nationals so far this year, Ellis has TQ'd all three of them and now three different drivers (all on the X6 Squared) have won a meeting each (Phil Sleigh, Ellis Stafford and now Kevin Lee) On behalf of X-Factory.......top work guys!!!!!

[YoungChazz]

Ditto Darren. Great showing for the X - 6 Squared and all the X drivers.

Three races, three wins and all TQ. I'm stoked.

[David Church]

Well done Kev!!!!!! And also to Grant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the best I have ever seen you drive!!!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Gutted for Ellis:cry:, he was some 8 seconds quicker on his fastest time in qualifying.......

[millzy]

any news lads

[niggs98]

ellis and craggy tied on points after 3 legs

ellis wins by verge of quicker time.

well done mate, after yesterdays bad luck in the finals you managed to peak on leg 3 just like ya said :woot:

can i be the first to say thanks to all at epr for a famtastic meeting. the track was prepped to perfection for a second year and the reprofiled big jump was far more consistent this year ;) was gutted to of not been able to of helped this year but have been way to busy with house moves, work etc etc. was great to see the whole team working so hard behind the scenes and watch it run so well. roll on next year and hopefully i will be able to dedicate a little time

[trekkerkk]

what a great weekend,
thanks to all involved,

[MHeadling]

I popped up for a look today, amazing racing and the track looked superb to race on, can't wait to try it out again at the next regional.

Well done Ellis on the win!

[rob8246]

Really enjoyed the meeting today even tho did not get to race but Pidge kept me busy all day glueing more and more tyres!! :o

Excellent work from Matt, Steve and all concerned at EPR for putting on a great show!!

[David Church]

I had a great weekend, seeing all you nutters again!!!!!!!!

A MASSIVE "THANKS" to all involved in the meeting!!!!!!!!

From the EPR crew, to the BRCA crew, all the voulnteer ref's, and to all the racers and friends/family of racers.
I was there after most of the people had gone and the site was left very tidy!!!!!

Congrats to Ellis today!!!!!!

And of course to Grant who drove out of his skin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Big E]

Usual EPR quality meeting and well done to all involved.

And I'd like to just say you guys on the commentary are ace...I really thought after Brian leaving last year it would be a bit flat but you guys are great...the 2 commentators at a time bit today was just top quality, really really good :D

Roll on Southport!!

[PaulUpton]

Can only echo what has been said already, great meeting, top work!

[blitzboy]

brilliant week end superb club and really enjoyed myself thats to evereyone involved , epr track was awesome , well done ellis amazing driving from you and grant , what a top sportman you are buddy , see you all soon guys :lol: the legends races were such a hoot too

[MattADH]

I would just like to thank everyone involved for their help at EPR over the course of the weekend and in the many weeks on the run up to the meeting. Without the likes of yourselves, EPR nationals would never happen so all these nice words by the racers are for you.

Some changed plans in order to attend whilst no doubt others put the event ahead of family bearing in mind Sunday was Fathers Day.

Thanks too to the racers who left us very little to clear up although we sure have a few runs to the local refuse site with all those bin bags!

Once again, many thanks for your support. It is very much appreciated by us all at the club.

EPR

[James]

Great job EPR, venue and track were top notch after setting the bar high after all your renovation work for last years National.

Great work on the mike to Tony T, a hidden talent! And of course Tony E and MCDC, the dual commentary all adds to the sense of an event :thumbsup:.

Bad luck for grant, everyone knows you were fast though dude!

[millzy]

what was the 2wd and 4wd top ten

[Fabs]

Many thanks to all the EPR crew, BRCA officals and everyone involved, the track was ACE and the meeting MAXIMUM BEST. :D

First time for me that I manage to get a decent result in both classes, G final each day, not too bad for a first season, still need to reach my own maximum best performance though.

[Gnarly Old Dog]

What more can I add that hasn't already been said? Top venue, top organisation by the club and the BRCA and excellent all round entertainment.
Echo-ing others, the dual commentary from Tony T and Rob was superb - a great balance of banter, track action and information although I'll never be able to look at another bombhole the same again:woot:
Top work guys - special mention to the AE crew. Neil, Lee and the boyz. You really made a young kid's day with your generosity at the end of the event. Young Ellis (as opposed to the old balding one!) is a new racer who worked tirelessly with his dad over the whole weekend as a club helper. With the help of the AE crew, he went home with a big smile and a carrier bag that'll go a long way to make sure he's never 'tyre-less' ever again.
Top gesture guys - respect.

How did Elliot Boots get on? When I was at the track he was going well in qualifying.

[Darren Boyle]

B final I believe Mark, pretty certian I spotted him in there along with Tom C when he was running

[ben]

Well done to the EPR organisers! The meeting ran smooothly and the track was great! The table top was 100 times better with the new re-profiled take off.
Well done to greg williams for making the Bfinal in 2wd!!!

Ben

[neiloliver]

Great meeting, well organised. Loved the track.

Managed my best placing this year in 4WD. Thanks to Alan Hart for some great England V Scotland racing. Thanks to DC for asking Alan to kick my butt.

Commentary on Sunday was great.. 'Good Jobbbb....!!!"

Neil

[GRIFF55]

Thanks all for a great fun weekend (again!). Had another good day sat but couldn't get the hammer down sunday:cry:.

Track is tricky for a EPR virgin, Grant made it look easy both days :thumbsup:

Cheers dude, Tony T was awesome and I really enjoyed commentating with him. Truman is the new Jimmy Babcock! I think its a really good thing at 10th meetings as the cars are quiet and it can add atmoshpere and excitment plus informing drivers and spectators of positions etc....
well done to all drivers for a good show and representing a class where we all started from. :D

Mate - I decided to put in a really quick motor which was WRONG to say the least. The car got out of shape over the jump and started to nose dive - I opened up the throttle and instead of doing the normal thing and bring the nose up - the bloody thing decided to corkscrew in mid-air.
I say this "if your going to break it, then do it properly"
Thank you to Ian Southwell for the part, as I didn't have it and I would of been in trouble - bloody motor was way too quick
RR - you have a lot to answer for me old fruit !!!
