Fastrax GP 2011


'in association with CML Distribution and MK Racing'


Surrey and Hants Radio Control Car Club are pleased to announce the inurgrual Fastrax GP 2011 to be held on the 19th of June at our Farnham Raceway.

The event will be run for all 1:10 off-road classes of 2WD and buggies, and 2WD/4WD 'Outlaw Class' featuring Short Course Trucks/Truggies.

Run in association with CML Distribution and MK Racing, the Fastrax GP will run a control tyre of Fastrax Turf Ripper 1/10th tyres. Each entrant will receive a full set of tyres to run.

The Day will consist of 4 qualifying rounds based on round by round scoring system, followed by single finals with a 3 legged A Final in both buggy classes.

Trophies will be presented to the first 3 in each final. Special awards to the best Under 16 and best under 12 competing in the Adult classes.

Entry fees are £12 per class with a limit of 40 x 2wd, 30 in 4WD and 10 in SCT. (Please note short course truck tyres will not be controlled and entry will be £10.00) We will also be running a novice class.

Due to the nature of the event, pre booking/payment will be essential to guarantee your place on the grid in advance. Please forward your interest to Neil via email to racing@shrccc.co.uk (racing@shrccc.co.uk). Please note this meeting will be run on Personal Transponders only, no manual lap counting. Booking in WILL be allowed in on the day at the normal £12.00 and until tyre stocks last. I have ordered plenty so this should not be an issue. If we do not have anough tyres a reduced entrance fee will apply and tyres can be purchased from MK Racing on the day.

The on site café will be open serving hot food as well as healthy fresh sandwiches and baguettes.

This is a one day event and no camping facilities will be available.

MK Racing will have a fully stock on site shop for the duration of the day.

HUGE raffle with top prizes from CML and MK Racing.

Like the look of the track hoped to get there sooner but looks like the first visit will be the fastrax GP!

Chris,
You could always go on a Tuesday night on your way home from work, only a slight detour :woot:

Marc

[hotrodchris]

True Marc was hoping to do the opening night but things always seem to keep coming up during the week!

[Dudders]

:woot::woot: loads of entries already!. Thanks all, building up to what should be a excellent day's off roading :thumbsup:

[JamesRumble]

Neil, will supplied the control tyres be mounted on a rim or will we need to sort those out ourselves?
James

[Dudders]

Hey James,

As you'll imagine hand out wheels as well as tyres would be a nightmare due to the many manufacturers that will be represented on the day, therefore its 'tyres' only.

I will have supplies before the day itself if you wanted to collect yours early, not a problem. On the day MK Racing will have hubs and inserts to suit most cars.

Either keep a set free or ask Mark to reserve you some. Reports on these tyres on grass is generally very positive so I think you'll be keeping them on for a while ;)

See you Tuesday

Neil

[Deano577]

Neil
got any recommendations for inserts???

[Dudders]

Answer RC are the cheapest! Any should suffice. Whether hard or soft or tubbies I've no idea.

[Deano577]

I haven't got a clue what about harder inserts???
How many people u got signed up for the fst trx

[Dudders]

I haven't got a clue what about harder inserts???
How many people u got signed up for the fst trx

Some inserts are soft, some are firm. Firm ones allow the tyre to stay more rigid.

How many?, well I've been a little overwhelmed to be honest and it's looking like all places will go before the day (hopefully), we're up to half numbers in 2 and 4wd in just over 36 hours. The short course interest is lacking but that will come :thumbsup:.

[Deano577]

It's gonna be a good day but an early start for me as I am an hour away
it's gonna be good to get back on grass
are u adding any more jumps,burms etc

[Dudders]

We're only about 45/50mins from Whiteley at that time of the day :thumbsup:

Need to be booked in by 8.00am to if you leave at 7, job done!. The day will be fully timed so should run like clockwork (famous last words :o)

If you wanted to book in, please drop me an email to racing@shrccc.co.uk and I can forward payment options :thumbsup:

[Berky]

Neil,

Did you get my email re: booking me in for the Fastrax GP?

[Dudders]

Got your entry email now and have replied :thumbsup:

Berko on a Sunday!, Wow! :D

[hotrodchris]

Neil no Clanfield that weekend so Paul and i might be able to talk some more Clanners into getting their 1/10th out!

[Dudders]

Excellent stuff, didnt think about 1/8th clashes :o just was keen to avoid 1/10th meetings....

[hotrodchris]

spoke to a few driver's at Torch this morning and they seemed up for it!

[dobber]

Are there any spaces left for this? I'll be along on Tuesday so long as my batteries turn up. What time does it run till, working nights this week so starting at 10pm.

[Jelly]

Tuesdays we tend to be done by 9 - 9.30 Dobber.

[Dudders]

Hi Dobber,

Fastrax is at 1/2 numbers for two and four wheel drive. So if you want to come i'd guess you'll need to pre book asap. Short Course will take longer to fill / one heat may become 2/4wd.

As for Tuesday's it's dark by 9.00pm so you'll be done by then. Look likes it'll work with your shifts ;)

[maseace]

looking forward to tuesday and getting a run out this week:thumbsup:

[Dudders]

True! :thumbsup:

Over half places now taken for 2 and 4wd, remember your place is not secure until payment has been made :woot:

[MK Racing]

Neil,

Stick me in for 2wd :thumbsup:

Marc

[Dudders]

Your on the list, sent you payment details *snigger*, once sorted your in! :D:D:D

[Dudders]

Thanks for all the payments tonight for the Fastrax GP. Still need a few more stragglers!.

OVER HALF PLACES GONE GUYS :thumbsup:

[robelmes]

i'll pay next tuesday

[Getpip]

Will you have that B44 fixed Rob? ;)

[Dudders]

Will you have that B44 fixed Rob? ;)

Only popped a turnbuckle didn't it? Did the shock mount get broken then?

[Dudders]

RC Lazy are all booked in, anyone fancy challenging them? ;)

To add the entrance fee covers a FULL SET OF TYRES, that's FRONT and REAR.

[robelmes]

I lost a front spring cup so the front end was dragging on the floor. couldnt get it round the track so pulled out.
It did suffer a little more damage after i threw it on the floor:mad: all fixed now though and ready to roll:thumbsup:

I found the spring cup today when I sorted the unit out. Also a nut.

Rob, cant believe you threw your car :woot::woot: The passion to win eh? :D

[Dr_UpGrade]

Wow, thats excellent news on the tyre front...! (literally!!).. Will get some fronts and rears ready to get them glued up on...

:thumbsup:

[Dudders]

It's GREAT value :thumbsup:

Surprised 4wd has'nt filled up quicker to be honest :confused: Loads of time so I'm sure it will :D

They'll be HUGE pots to take home....

[Dudders]

Ok guys, 4wd places are now LIMITED. If your on the fence please let me know ASAP :)

[Dudders]

Ok, the two 4wd heats are now taken up but I will be adding a third so not pressure for the 4wd's :thumbsup:.

Plenty of space for many drivers.

[hotrodchris]

Neil is a driver's list available?

[Dudders]

Neil is a driver's list available?

Yes, I can see it within a few clicks :D

[Dudders]

UPDATE:

I have decided to add a special Junior class to the days events. This is aimed at novice young drivers, kids who cant really compete with the adults in terms of track presence and racing lines etc.

This will be open to any form of 1/10th off road buggy/truck/monster truck/truggy etc. Bascially it can be what they run in the back garden.

The general point of view is to get them racing at a meeting to feel part of it and get experience under there belt.

I know they'll be at least 4 already in this class (aged 5,5, 8 and 10 years) so feel free to bring your youngsters along.

Please let me know if you would like your son/daughter to enter :thumbsup:

[Dudders]

Outlaw Class:

Due to demend (and lack of!) the Short Course Heats have been changed to 'Outlaw Class'. This can be ANY Truggy or Truck in 1/10th scale :thumbsup:

With this change we can field at least one heat, maybe 2 :thumbsup:

Neil

[Deano577]

Yes, I can see it within a few clicks :D

Where do I click

[Dudders]

Ok, just an update:

There will be 2wd and 4wd classes running that will be on FASTRAX CONTROL TYRES only at the Fastrax GP on June 19th.

There WILL be a Short Course / Truggy race due to the numbers now booked in.

There WILL also be a Junior / Novice class running on the day, this is after the successful running of today's heat. IF YOUR CHILD WANTS TO RUN IN THIS CLASS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Novice class will be reduced entry and on any tyres to save on costs.

So it will be a busy day with 4 class being run.

Cafe WILL be open from early doors serving all food and drinks (Hot and Cold).

Full format will be published in due course.

[kartdemon]

Neil,

Is the current track layout what will be run on the 19th?

Thanks.

[Dudders]

Hi,

No, not the full layout. There will be an extension added and also a revised layout with a little track work to do done next week.

(What's your trouble anyway, you ROCKED it at the last shootout round :thumbsup:)

Think its only fair we change it a bit ;)

[kartdemon]

No probs with current layout at all. Just curious if it was to be changed in advance, as it would be nice to have a practice in advance on a new layout.

So sounds like we will have a day or so to do this.

On the track work, the only think I believe needs doing is something for the straight so 2WD cars can nail it a little more and the entry to the straight. Either way not fussed as it is the same for everyone. But would make it easier to drive that section for some drivers.

Otherwise :thumbsup:

[Dudders]

That's EXACTLY to area's that I'll be working on next week after the Shootout round in prep for the weekend of the 19th.

First corner and last corner will be reworked smooth or repaired. I might need to fill/compact/seed and cover with a small piece of astro for the racing and then uncover afterwards to settle. So yes, both those area's will be sorted, I love a bit of welly too!.

The track will also be a little bit longer which should help ;)

[andyroooo]

Maybe think about burying some chicken wire over the areas that cut up badly for the grass to grow through. We did that at a previous club and that helped the situation immensely :D

[Dudders]

Great idea Andy. Sounds like hard work though :lol::lol::lol:

[kartdemon]

Even though it is advertised as grass track, would still be a good to have a little Astro Turf as a permanent feature and for variety.

Ori.

[andyroooo]

Not really, you dont have to dig it in, just peg it down with wire loops about the same thickness as coat hanger wire and the grass will grow through it. Doesnt have to be everywhere, just the areas that break up like the braking bumps on the first corner. A bit flat out building cars at work at the moment but always willing to pop down and give you a hand with some track maintainance for a few hours when I have some spare time :thumbsup:

[Dudders]

Yeah I was being veracious. Sounds a fab idea!. Got some ideas in mind now :thumbsup:

[maseace]

Hey,

Just to say if another space come up in 2wd I can now make it. I know it full so far but someone could drop out.

Cheers

Adam

[Dudders]

2wd isnt full buddy :o:o. None of the heats are full...... if they get full, we'll add MORE!

I wrote 2 x 4wd heats are now full, so I'm adding a 3rd. Re read this myself and it does sound like 2wd is full, which it isnt :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Want in for you and Craig? Drop me an email to racing@shrccc.co.uk

[Dudders]

Fastrax tyres have arrived!.

I will bring them to the Tuesday club meeting. If you have paid already you are welcome to collect your FREE SET of tyres to take away for mounting and glueing. If people want to pay on Tuesday for the fastrax event they can take theirs too. Only people who have paid will get tyres before the meeting.

MK Racing will have FASTRAX tyres to buying on the day (and also normal stocks at the shop pre and post race)

Tyres can also be collected next tuesday as well :thumbsup:

[Dr_UpGrade]

Neil,
Is that fastrax tyres on both front and rear, or driven wheels only (and yes I am talking about 2wd!)..?

[Dudders]

Front AND Rear James :) Free set of BOTH with entry :thumbsup:

[Dr_UpGrade]

[Dudders]

FASTRAX GP 2011 Layout... ish!. Needs tidying up and tweaking here and there but it rides pretty well....

New table top coming and another jump in the next few days.

[Dr_UpGrade]

oh some nice bends in there!!!!!

[Dudders]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATZjkc0N-38

[Dr_UpGrade]

Can I ask a 'possibly' silly question...

Which way round are you planning on running it? Clockwise or anticlockwise?

[Dudders]

Aha!, I've been rumbled!. Not sure TBH. Need to get a car round it on Monday to fully decide. The plan it for clockwise.... but might run anti on Tuesday so no one has advantage. Or run Fastrax Anti..... layout would work for both.

[Dr_UpGrade]

Ha!

I agree about the track looking like it could be run both ways, which is why I asked! At least it wasn't a silly question then! See you tues...

Mark

[super gripper]

The new layout looks good Neil, with all that rain we have just had and the predicted heavy rain all day Sunday should give the grass a well needed watering.

[Dudders]

Looks like we'll get a dumping on Sunday... had nothing since Wednesday early AM.... lots of black sky.... but no wet stuff :cry:

[gwesty]

[Dudders]

Thanks for all the recent emails and messages re the Fastrax Event on Sunday.

Reminder that you CAN'T get in before 7.30am :lol:

If you ARE thinking of turning up on the day for the event please could you let me have your details upfront as it will speed up booking in on the morning.

Pre payments are still being accepted to 100% confirm your space and FREE tyres. Once my stocks are gone there gone. Therefore the maximum of racers is 40 x 2wd and 30 x 4wd. After these numbers I will have to turn people away as we are running a junior heat and Short Course action.

Many thanks, hopefully the weather will be kind :confused::confused:

[Deano577]

With the weather forcasts looking wet will you still run the event!!

[Dudders]

Wet?, nah, dont beleive you :woot:

Yep, we'll be running (unless its a monsoon! :thumbsup:)

Thing is with our track, it rewards a clean and tidy driver. You cant attack it as it wont be rewarding. Which is why Adam does well with the mad rat, its easy to control on the track and not make mistake.

[MK Racing]

Just a quick reminder, MK Racing will be trackside this Sunday, I will have Fastrax Tyres if any one wants extra sets :thumbsup:

Also, if you need anything taken to the track from the shop, please drop me an email/PM or call me at the shop.

Neil says it will be dry tomorrow

Lets hope so Knighter, Down my way it's not pleasant at all.:thumbdown:

Hey Neil,
Hows the track draining after all this rain... Clearing up a bit now, but will the exposed earth be turning to mud during tom, or do you think it'll drain away and dry out ok?

Still looking forward to it!

:drool:

[bloysey]

hi when you turn into lower weybourne lane with the lake to your right where is the track located?

I think it'll be quite dry come tomorrow, popping down tonight so I can update.. The ground drains stupidly well which is nice and times but then not so good for grass :eh?:

The track might be sponging but there is zero chance of any mud anywhere on site and possibly the track. Some bear area's might tear up but we'll deal with that as and when, plenty of astr to pop down on the odd corner after a round :)

[Dr_UpGrade]

Cheers for the update Mr Groundsman sir!!

:thumbsup:

[Dudders]

All good, little damp but that's all :thumbsup:

Cracking days racing and no rain! Thanks for all your efforts in making it a really successful and fun meet. :)

[Dudders]

Blimey! What a day!, where to start!. Well, all seems a bit blurry now but arrived trackside at 6.15am to set you, Rasey rolled up around 7.00am closely followed by Marc Knight from MK Racing. Let the hoards in at 7.30am and then it all went a bit crazzzzy!!! :thumbsup:

MASSIVE thanks M K Racing and Marc Knight for the support and advice given out today, certainly makes it all a bit easier having a voice of experience speak when asked. Also, MASSIVE BIGGUP to Rob Rasey. Thanks for your Mic help, certainly enjoyed my little breaks!.

Highlights? SUNSHINE!, Novice Racers, track holding up and hopefully all the racers going away happy and having a ncie time. VERY competitive field across the board, thanks all for turning up :thumbsup:

Finally, thanks to Jason @ CML for the Fastrax Sponsorship, big effort for them to put their name to a club only 3 months old :woot::woot::woot:.

Hoepfully, we can look forward to a 2012 Fastrax GP!

[Deano577]
