Dave

At the moment, the only details for each meeting that I have are on the first page of the entry form download - http://www.brca.org/Sections/off_e_10/Racing/2007%20National%20E%20of%20S%20Finals%20Entry%20Fo rm.doc

I have enquired about an information pack from each club, to give racers a few more details (similar to the National info) I'll send this to all drivers that enter, as so as I get it.

[GRIFF55]

That would be great!

[_sleigh_]

If anyone wants to enter via PM, or replying to this thread feel free.

Once I've added you to the entry list, I will PM or reply back to confirm.

A

[Jonny_H]

My entry for this depends on how badly I break it at Coventry... I'm on holiday until the 29th, so I have no time to fix it before Kiddy.

[_sleigh_]

I'll put you down as a YES then Jonny???? :D

[ashleyb4]

If im correct ther only two people who can win the regionals championship is sleigh and yardy but sleigh has to win the regional and yardy has to come third or lower.

A:)

[VintageRacer]

I've been promising to take my son to watch some car racing after he saw the Euro 2006 videos someone linked to a while back.

Would we be ok to come and watch this round of nationals?

If so, what time would you recommend we arrive to catch the start of the racing?

[markwilliamson2001]

Stick my name down Phil. I will be attending this, so long as the weather isnt RUBBISH!

Mark

[_sleigh_]

Anyone else looking to enter this meeting.....

Very dissappointing entry list so far!

[Jamie B4]

Can you pop my name on the list for 4WD regional please phil

[Jonny_H]

Right, it survived the F3/4/5s and I think I'd better make amends for my atrocious day there!

Put me down for Kiddy 4WD please - I don't need sleep... :yawn: ;)

[_JP_]

Phil,

have you got an uptodate list now?

[_sleigh_]

just updated the list above. :)

[_sleigh_]

Updated Entry List.

[ashleyb4]

38 a bit low:wtf: But im not moaning i need a good high score.

A

[andy reeves]

Looking forward to Kiddy. Always enjoy the track and i am really looking forward to seeing how the xx4 goes round there. Just need to get higher than C2 so i don't get stick all day :p. Just hope the weather is ok for the meeting. Can someone tell me what tyres we are using in the dry as i didn't do the 2wd regional.

[CDS MODELS]

yellow sch's in dry blick pinks/green wet

[andy reeves]

Cheers. Thought that would be the case from the winter series but was unsure.

[ashleyb4]

Not so true i think Ballisitic are the better tyre i ran them in 2wd at Kiddy national nad i also ran a set of achumachers round one and Ballistics had alot more grip. Andit seem neil agree's.

[_sleigh_]

For 4WD I'm pretty confident the majority of the Regional A-final will be on Sch. Yellow's if the weather stays dry.

Looking beyond the Regional, I think the GRP tyre will be well worth a try at the Winter Series :D

[DaveG28]

Hi guys,

Will the winter series be open on tyres then?

Also, do we have ay dates yet etc?

[_sleigh_]

Yes, as far as I know the Winter Series will be "open tyre"

As for dates, I'm waiting for full confirmation on the dates I've seen, as I have an "issue" with one of them.

[_sleigh_]

BUMP!!!!!!


Come on guys/gals more entries needed...... Tell your freinds (or even none freinds)

[VintageRacer]

If you get really desperate, I'll bring my Optima along if someone will lend me some cells. :D



I'm half joking of course. I'd love to race, but a) I wouldn't be at all competitive and b) I don't have time to re-build it to get it running properly. Last time I looked at it, three of the 4 shocks were empty amongst other things...

[trekkerkk]

hi sleigh
did you get nathan ralls and my entrys ok,
(weve scored in another region)
thanks
trekkker

[_sleigh_]

Stu, yes got your two entries cheers... and the answer to your other question will be on e-mail shortly.

[trekkerkk]

thanks sleigh:D

[DaveG28]

Time for the awkward question....

As we have another changeable week weather wise, is there any chance of a track udate later this week to see what it is like, and then letting us know if it is getting chucked on with rain from then??

Worked really well last time, I had plenty of notice of how things were looking etc, it was nice being able to log on here and see the state of play!

Dave

[_sleigh_]

If the wet weather continues over the next few days, then I will do a track update on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Looking at the MetCheck forecast last night the weekend looks dry, just a little cold.

[ashleyb4]

I hope it dry i like grip. I know there aint much round kiddy but what there is i like.

As it is a Fuji, it probably takes XD cards? If it takes compact flash or SD I'd be happy to lend you a card if promise to post it back to me when you are done.

[ashleyb4]

It takes xd thanks for the offer vintage racer but its cool may see if i can steel my sisters laptop so if i need ill just copy pics onto her laptop.

mid-west A final cars look a whole lot different than they did a few months ago!

[VintageRacer]

Some nice pics there Ash. Your favorite is also mine, you've captured the action well and the car is sharply focused where it needs to be but with blurred tyres to show the movement (shame about the marshal's knee in the background). If you can remember the shutter speed you used, use it again.

I was surprised to see you needed (or chose) to use flash. I would have thought it would have been bright enough without.

[ashleyb4]

I set it to auto flash and the camera said it needed it so i let it use it.

Im a little diaspointed about not getting my f4 i think im in a very tough region to get it.

Not as disappointed as I was not to see your caravan on the track :D

[ashleyb4]

I forgot to charge my mardave pack so i run out of time.

My mum just saw the picture of my cars and sheilds and she was moaning that i took infront of the settie as she hates it and its old and dirty lol. :D:D:D:wtf:

A

[Gaz_Stanton]

Ii think im in a very tough region to get it.

You could always try another region. I'm sure the Mid West boys would have a whip round to cover relocation costs... :p :D

[GRIFF55]

I'll give a quid!! ha ha:D
Thanks all at the mid west for a cracking season, really enjoyed my first year back!! Superb meeting at kiddy, third time lucky, or was it fourth(i'm still half asleep).
Hopefully be back up for the winter series.(can someone post if they think weather may get meet cancelled?)
cheers all
Andy

[ashleyb4]

Is that what they did with you move you out of mid west to bristol:D:D:p Still wasnt far enough you still came back maybe the very north of scotland may have been better lol :D:D:p

Only kidding.

I wouldnt want to be in another region mid west is ace its the only region i would win the top under 16 in.:D:D:p

[ashleyb4]

Ace tom used some of my pics on mirage site for his review im so happy i love it. hehe

Would you mind if I 'stole' a couple of those for Facebook?

Cheers!

[_JP_]
