Ok, we've had two great rounds so far.
I've really enjoyed the atmosphere and friendliness and if there's been any problems or issues to resolve, it's been done in an amicable manner and everyone's had a fair say, I hope.
Its good that the BRCA have been running Off-road so long now, as all the issues we are finding have already been ironed out. Thanks again to Paul Worsley for his prompt and extremely helpful guidance and advice.
I'm really looking forward to the rest of the year, and hoping to expand it further in 2011 by getting one or two of the other OR clubs to arrange a round themselves. EK looks like they may have a bit of venue stability going forward, so it would be fantastic if they could organise an event next year. Any other club wanting to run an event, let me know and I'll help get the ball rolling.
Anyway, next round is next weekend (27th June) and will be at CSOR's track in Strathaven. Ayr is borrowing the venue to run a shorter course (about 2/3) for 10ths, with a few added features specifically for us!
Plus there'll probably be a heat of 8th Nitros running so we can all have a look at them. I'll be bringing down my 8th Electric to see if it'll stay in one piece for 5 minutes.
Here's the information regarding the next event:
Booking-in between 8.30-9.30
Practice between 9.00-10.00
Heat 1 on the line for 10.15
4 rounds with "Round by Round" qualifying
3 finals with 2 to count
2WD will run first with a gap then the 4WD heats, aiming for an hour per round.
8 car finals
If the day needs shortened due to weather etc we will drop number of finals, still two to count.

See you all there bright and early!
