A few extra directions to the venue can be found on the 'The Mid South Map' (http://tinyurl.com/lkur6k)

Zoom in the green pin should be about right

Remember two 70mph speed cameras on A43 just south of Silverstone (my way home), I am assuming they have not been switched off.

[mk2kompressor]

they turn it on and off to catch people out so not worth going through any more than 70mph:thumbdown:

the track is going up friday night and the heating will be fired up as soon as i get in on saturday:woot:
Silverstone RCMCC have some awesome plans for the track, i cant wait!!!!

[Robbiejuk]

And plenty of carpet !! :thumbsup::D

[AdamBurgess]

Would I be right in assuming the MA shop will have tyres on sale? (sorry not been before so dont know exactly what you sell)

Dont have any schuey yellows at the moment so will need to get some.

Adam, i'm not saying the shop won't have any but it might be worth you getting some before you get there just in case :thumbsup:

[Adam F]

Balls, I need some too! Anyone from MA confirm if they have yellow pins in stock?

[mk2kompressor]

We have them and some inserts :)

[Lee Martin]

Sounds good lads! what time can i arrive?

[mk2kompressor]

ill be here from 7am- doors open at 7.30 and again heating will be on:thumbsup:
carpet is sorted and will be laid later, maybe for the next round 15 rolls of brand new prima-gt will be here too;)

[PaulUpton]

Anyone planning on racing tomorrow and hasnt yet booked in, get it done, not only will it save time in the morning, you will get it slightly cheaper :p

Handy map, see post 6 in this thread, pin should be near where you want to be.

Hows your brass bits doing in this weather ? I am in Oxford City, not much snow left anywhere - bits on rooftops/fields, roads are good and not as cold as other parts :)

[trekkerkk]

seemingly daft question. are there pitting tables and chairs or do we need to bring ur own. and do we need an extension cable as well ???

[Trish]

Looking forward to it, see you all there tomorow guys!!

[mk2kompressor]

we are just next to luffield corner outside the circuit :)

pitting with power built in for 53 people but bring your own pit table and chair just incase

[JCJC]

Pin in the map anyone ?

[mk2kompressor]

What an absolute corker!
MASSIVE thanks to:
Silverstone RCMCC crew for the awesome layout, im sure you are all just as creamed as me from last nights escapades (yes we where still building at 3.30am!) never met a more dedicated bunch:woot:
Pupton for race control duties
Mr Springer for not giving me too much stick today (for once!)
and ALL of you that made it!

oh almost forgot, I cant fill it with clay!!!!! (not just yet anyway:p)

[budgio]

Ace day !
Thanks to all involved in getting it all ready ...nice one
I,ll put up the vids of the 2 & 4wd A finals as soon as I get home from the pub..... Which could be some time :)
Count me in for the next one.

[RogerM]

I've just finished work and even more gutted as it sounds like I missed a gud un.

Hopefully make it over soon, well done and glad it was a success.

[dbizzle5]

Frickin Awsome! 5 Rounds of qualy and a final, and lunch break and still back at home in Notts for 5.00pm. Track was ace and can use old tyres from outdoors! Cant recommend it enough. See you at the next one and maybe some Tuesday nights.

[spenner]

Thanks to everyone for a good start to the SRCMCC Kyosho sponsored Winter series.

Well done to both winners

4wd - Lee Martin
2wd - Lloyd Storey

About 40 drivers for the first round was pretty good and i am sure it will grow, awesome to be home at 5pm after packing away etc... And realising it's only Saturday!!!!!

[wes]

Big thanks to all involved, excellent meeting, friendly atmosphere and fantastic facility.

[chuckie stella]

Thank you Matt and MA for letting SRCMCC host our Winter Series at your amazing facility!

What a great bunch of drivers- serious competetive racing with a great, relaxed atmosphere!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the amazing clubs out there. DMS Racing are our carpet donor for our winter series as SRCMCC don't have any as we only have an outdoor track. DMS's facility has been closed for H&S reasons all week due to the weather so we were unable to collect their carpet for this meeting. West Bridgeford Model car club then stepped up and supplied us with some carpet at such late notice!!!Broxtowe Model Car Club were even willing to lend us theirs even though they have a meeting tonight and their winter series meeting tomorrow (I'm sure there might still be some places!!). I can't speak more highly about these clubs and the people that run them. Seriously good stuff helping us to make our winter series as good as it can be for all. THANK YOU!!!

Thank you to Lloyd, John, Ralphy Baby and last but not least, the control man, Captain Pupton. You are a great team to work with. I'm sorry if I moan a bit :p

Lastly, I'm sure enough has been said this season, but seriouly Lee, different league!!!!!!!!

Matt

What a top days racing, great track at a brilliant venue. This could easily turn into the best winter series in the UK. Hope you get a few more racers turning up next time to reward the massive effort put in by all involved.
Thanks,
James.

[mk2kompressor]

[niggs98]

really enjoyed today. thanks to all the team who put it all together. special thanks to pupton for reserving a pit table so close to the rostrum so i didnt have to hobble to far and to steve for volenteering to do all my marshalling. was nice to be able to stand (just) for 5 mins and race. only been 3-4 weeks :S. track was really good and facilities have to be seen to be believed. cant wait for the next one now ;)

[trekkerkk]

BBK is being a arse, crashing when I go to do it :eh?:

[simoncrabb]

Wish I had known about this earlier, I missed a great meeting it seems!

Who won?

[budgio]

Lee won 4WD with the new Tamiya 502,Lloyd won 2wd with his Cougar.

Get booked in for the next round Simon its gonna be good ;)

[Smartalec]

Excellent, well run meeting at a top venue (and only 8 miles from my house), well done to Lloyd for the win in 2wd and to Lee for showing us all up in 4wd in true Euro champ style. :)

Lee, please come again next time as coming second to you is really like a win for me because i'm on this planet and you're somewhere else mate, well done :)

[Smartalec]

Just a thought, any chance of the Moto Arena cafe doing a big vat of chilli for the next one?, i'm sure that would go down a treat, especially with some of that garlic bread dipped in it :woot:

or maybe .......

Chicken Madras, Keema rice, cheesy/garlic naan bread, now we're talking :wub

[RogerM]

How fast are these events filling up? I'm hoping to do the Feb meeting but not sure if I will be able to make it yet!

[mk2kompressor]

A small selection of images taken yesterday. Thanks again to everyone you took part and helped to make yesterday the success it was.

The Chilli request has been passed on to cafe and they will see what they can do!!!! (The curry may be pushing it a tad..)
