Doors open 9.00am, racing starts at 10.00am latest.
Maximum 64 drivers only. (8 heats of 8 drivers)
The number of drivers per class will be filled by natural selection.
Pre booking not essential but strongly recommended. Yes you can turn up on the day, but you may be dissapointed!!!
You can pre book by emailing me at alanwillows@yahoo.co.uk with your Name, class (2wd or 4wd) and crystals.
To absolutely guarantee your place you can pre pay by paypal to the same email address. You can send a cheque as well, email me for postal address.
Places will go to drivers who have paid up front, then to drivers wishing to pay on the day.
I will put a list of confirmed drivers here as often as possible.
There will be the some amazing obstacles for you guys to get over. These are currently under construction, watch this space for updates. Pictures will follow!
We will only be charging £5 for club members and £6.50 for non members for a whole days off road racing.
Tyres will be the now common Schumacher mini pins.

If demand is more than 64 drivers then we have a contingency plan to allow pitting in the other hall at Greasley.
Get your pre booking done now. We are putting a lot of effort into this and hope that plenty of drivers will come to support us.
You will not be dissapointed!!!!!

Alan are pm's to yourself ok for people to book in?

[Alan]

PM's are OK, but to guarantee your place please send money. I will post if/when numbers are getting close so people who have only emailed or pm 'ed can pay to guarantee their place if you catch my drift??

[RSharpy]

Sound, catch your drift. Get your entrys in people. The venue is located 2 min from J26 M1, so easily accessable to all!!

I know the lads at the club are puting a lot of effort into laying this on. Have heard rumours of a 8 ft wall of death!!!!!!!

It should be a good one.:)

[Alan]

Quick update,

28 places of 64 available gone allready.
Only 36 left!!!

If you want to race, get those emails sent
If you want to be certain, send the money!!

Alan

Only £5 to club members
Only £6.50 to non members

[blitzboy]

is there any particular grade you require to be as im f5 on 2wd b4 and i would really like to have a go :D it it true about the 8 foot wall of death

[Alan]

No grades required for this event and yes the "wall of death" is under construction.

Here's half of the"wall of death" to wet your appettites!

Alan

[ben]

Errr wont it just be like hitting a brick wall. It looks really really steep:eh?::eh?::confused::confused:

lil ben

[Alan]

There will be another one the same as that one to the side of it, with a divider in the middle. You go up the left hand side and down the right hand side then rejoin the track looking/feeling as cool as can be!:D:D
No brick wall in sight!

[blitzboy]

dude you rock that is one mean wall of death your gettin my pm im in :D

[RSharpy]

Errr wont it just be like hitting a brick wall. It looks really really steep:eh?::eh?::confused::confused:

lil benBen, it does look a bit on the steep side but when the two ramps are put together with the track marking in the middle the marking its self won´t go all the way up the ramp, so if your taking the corner on the driving line you´ll only be at a vertical angle for a split second.

No doubt there will be some nutters taking the wide line or carrying on up the leisure centre wall!:D

Think it looks good and will drive well. :)

[blitzboy]

that will probably be me by accident :o
pm sent for booking in :)

[ben]

Yeh i seem what you mean about not been on it for very long. This is what i see a wall of death as http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/euros2006/day1/imagepages/dayone005.html

lil ben

[RSharpy]

That does look one awesome wall of death but thats out doors with much more space. Indoors is a lot more limited to what you can do.

Ben, are you booked in to come and give it a go?

Rich.

[ben]

rich i dont think ill be able to come. Its about an hour and 45 minutes from where i live. Ill see if some of my mates want to go then i might be able to get a lift. It just seems so far to travel if its not part of a series im doing:) ill see

lil ben

[nottmboy]

dont think weve really got the room to run two classes im afraid. just make sure you get your entrys in for the sundays and there will certainly be a full series next winter but it does need everybodys support.

[Spoolio]

Alan, you have PM

[Spoolio]

Mr Bond, go with the Hotshot - especially in the "as photographed" mode. It'll give us newbies a chance to get past you while you are grappling with the severe lack of rear end grip :lol:

[bondy]

He He ;)

shop got no tyres :p

[Alan]

Got to be the Hotshot,

Bet we could get nearly a full heat of them!

I'll get Mr Johnson to get his out.

PS, Don't think tyres will be an issue in the classic heat. Perhaps it should be 'kit' tyres' only???

[Spoolio]

Was gonna ask what the tyres / motor rules were - or is it a free for all?

If I run my Hornet I'll struggle to fit owt but kit tyres, but then again the suspension is after all "optimized" with these :lol:.

[big smithy]

alan about asking rich to get his out ive heard its never seen daylight:D

[DaveG28]

Very tempted to try and do this next round, how full are entry's so far?

[Alan]

Still some places left.

Reserve your place using me-or web site

http://rj.wbmcc.com/

Thanks

Alan
