Saundersfoot wrca round (12th June)

[jaffacake]

This is just over two weeks away(12th June),is it at the same location as last year?

[Jamie.T]

Yes, same location as last year. I believe there was talks of another venue but to my knowledge this hasn't gone ahead yet.

Hopefully Ian or somebody from the club can confirm just to be 100%.

[b4rac3r]

Enjoyed the track last year but was dissapointed in no camping. I gathered its the same this year if its at same place?

[Ian F]

Yep your all right, same place no camping sorry

[Ian F]

Please send entry details to
saundersfootmcc@live.co.uk
Or pm me direct

[leepez]

Gutted as I really wanted to do this event but I'm off to Silverstone that weekend.

[evolution]

I'll be there, but not sure what class to run yet:confused: I'll have the usual spares available if drivers get stuck. Looking forward to it as had good crack last year.

[Jamie.T]

Go 1/8th electric Paul, be nice to have a full heat of us. I know ill be there with my 8ight-E.

[axeman]

Looking forward to it as had good crack last year.

Paul if you could leave the drugs at home this year that would be great!!!:)

[jaffacake]

Go 1/8th electric Paul, be nice to have a full heat of us. I know ill be there with my 8ight-E.

Yeh keep the noise down though lads,all that battery changing and noisey pinions,us nitro boys cant hear ourselves think:p

[evolution]

Bad news lads, mr Harris will probably be driving my 1/8 leccy and just for laughs i think i'll run my short course 1/8 nitro in with the truggies:)

[jaffacake]

NICE ONE

[i4n]

A few of us from COBRA are coming down.

What time is it all starting?

[Ian F]

9am start, but at the moment due to the very low electric entries and bad weather on the way it is unlikely the event will continue

Ian

[Balders]

Morning.

I've just had a free pass signed and sealed from the mrs so entry sent for 2 & 4WD leccy.

Mike

[Dyna]

C'mon guys, get your entries in....

We cant afford another round of the WRCA to be cancelled or we will only be doing about 3 WRCA rounds this year for electrics :cry:

Personally its so hard for me to find time off these days ill just race against Mike in the pouring rain if i have to :D

As an interest Ian, how many electric 2wd & 4wd entries do you have atm ? And how many do you need to run it ?

[JACKOR33]

I have looked on the website but there is no entry list like last year?
If there was a list we could all see if people we knew have forgotten / missed entrering and give em a nudge?

[Ian F]

It was said in the AGM by the chairman not to post an entry list with names, as of today there are 11 electric in total, 3 are doubled up, really we need a minimum 8 in each class and if you are doing 2 classes you will have to supply a marshall

[GRIFF55]

No go for me sorry guys as i will be away this weekend:(

[JACKOR33]

Didnt realise the entry list wasnt to be publised sorry :blush:
Neither did i think entries would be soo low seeing how full it was last year??:confused:

[Dyna]

Tbh Dave, its probably the possible rain thats putting some people off more than anything else. It was a great meeting last year :)

Luckily ive got some new BB Greens ready to go, and even my old MRT VX Pro & newly skimmed 14t brushed motor if it really does come down hard - im aiming to win by being the last one running if nothing else... :lol:

[Ian F]

It's seems as if everyone has lost interest in the WRCA, this time last year we had 33 booked in, I can undersand the low numbers due to rising fuel costs, lack of free time and to many other meetings to attend. I will give it till tomorrow and if the numbers haven't increased I will have to cancel it sorry.

Ian

[GRIFF55]

That would be a shame:(
come on guys, get your entries in!!

[axeman]

gents I wont be there As I put me back out last weekend and I'm still unable to walk far or upright.

Sorry gents:(

[Belsten]

Im away with Griff too unfortunately
Was a great meeting last year though thoroughly enjoyed it :thumbsup:

[jaffacake]

Absolute bloody washout this year,WRCA in general.
Will be a shame if,well when Saundersfoot is cancelled but if the numbers are not there what can be done.

[i4n]

I hope there's a sudden rush to book in, I'm looking forward to a trip 'out west'.

Steve, I've got a spare wheelchair I can push you about in if you want it!

[DCM]

hope that wheelchair has been weight rated..... :thumbsup:

[dick don]

Guys I watched one hell of an Electric A final last year and coming from a devoute Nitro driver it would be a shame not to watch some quality Electric racing this year. It would be a shame if this round is cancelled due to lack of entries.
You could always ask some of us to marshal for you if its the case you have to supply marshals. Be warned though Nitro boys are always looking for pit men, swings and roundabouts. :thumbsup:
I know the track down there is also good cultivated farm land and therefore has good natural drainage, I've raced there when its wet and it holds no standing water at all. Weather forecast is only for light showers, weather men are always edging on the side of caution these days.
Hope I've manage to change some minds guys. :)
And if someone is pushing you round in a wheelchair Steve i'll carry you up the rostrum if it comes to it, Wanna see what all this hype is about in Eletric 1/8th is about. :p

Where's the 'like' button??!!:woot:

[Balders]

So then guys, am I coming to Saunders on Sunday or will the Mrs get her way and make me finish decorating the bathroom.. :)

[jimbo007]

I will be there sunday how do i book in? :woot:

[Ian F]

The meeting is ON

We have a good turn out for the 1/8 but the 1/10 are lacking, we have 14 1/10 with 4 drivers doing 2 classes, that will leave you with 2 marshalls for the 2wd heat! I'm looking for ideas as at the moment a cannot see how the 1/10 can run

[Balders]

If it helps I would drop my 2wd entry to marshal it?

means I only have to clean one car then! :)

[GRIFF55]

one electric class with a minute or two extra on the races for them? would that work?

[Ian F]

Who would Marshall if there was 1 heat?

[i4n]

I sent an email to Tim saying I was happy to do both 10th classes to make up numbers, but I'll happily just do 4WD to have enough people to Marshall the 2WD drive.

It will be a shame if we have to cancel the 'electric' part ofo the regional.

Ian

[GRIFF55]

could you not just help each other out? maybe a bit of leccy marshal nitro and vice versa? that would be a quick fix.

[Ian F]

That sounds good Andy but I don't think we can as the rule is 1/10 Marshall 1/10 and the same for the 1/8

[dick don]

Rules is for fools, if you want any help with marshaling i'm there :thumbsup:

[jaffacake]

If you ask me (no doubt you wouldnt have but here it is anyway)...silly bloody rules!! as silly as no drivers listing,who the hell is going to read a drivers listing & then make it there aim to burgle your house?? and do the majority of drivers live alone anyway??
anyway back to it,im happy to marshall an electric heat if need be no worries & im sure my lad would be too.

[Ian F]

The easy way to sort this is to alternate the heats so it would be 2wd, 1/8, 4wd, 1/8, etc, but ALL the electric drivers need to agree to marshalling the 1/8

[i4n]

I've never marshalled an 1/8 before, but I'm willing to give it a go :o

[Jamie.T]

Are the 1/8 heats 5min Ian? if so im happy to marshall Nitro, just remember some gloves that's all.

Due to the low attendance i think we all need to muck in and help each others classes out, otherwise we may not race at all.

[Ian F]

Heats are 5, finals are 20, gloves are the best idea I will try and get some for the people that don't have any, but I really need all the electric racers to agree to do to

[Dyna]

How are the electric numbers split in 4wd & 2wd Ian ?

If the 1/8 is 5 minute heats with 20 min finals, ill help marshal 1/8 if you boys are going to help us out :thumbsup:

Ive never marshalled nitro's either so might be a good idea to do a quick brief to us electric peeps of what we should or shouldnt do with them when marshalling nitro's before we start the day ?

I can bring my own gloves though :woot:

[teambowen]

Ian, Pet, Tim and Paul.

Myself and the rest of the guys from ledbury who have been racing with you guys threw the winter are so sorry we're not able to make it to your track for your round of the WRCA.
We have a electric 1/10 regional being held at ledbury on the 12th and after the last meeting i guarranted i would turn up to help out on the day.
I know most of the other guys are disappionted with the date clash as we were lead to believe there would be no clashes between the wrca dates and ledburys date for this specific reason.

Again guys im sorry Ollie and i will miss out.

Have a great day, help each other out, make it work and HAVE A BLAST.

Jamie.

[Ian F]

At the moment we have 8 2wd, 8 4wd, and 3x7 rallycross, we will give a demo of how to Marshall but it's nothing to worry about there all noise

[leeboy44]

im up for anything that will make the meeting run smooth, very much looking forward to it :thumbsup:

[hywel]

If you ask me (no doubt you wouldnt have but here it is anyway)...silly bloody rules!! as silly as no drivers listing,who the hell is going to read a drivers listing & then make it there aim to burgle your house?? and do the majority of drivers live alone anyway??
anyway back to it,im happy to marshall an electric heat if need be no worries & im sure my lad would be too.
This wasnt my idea the suggestion call from a higher power ie the Brca section chairman :)

Well i suppose the plus side is all us electrics will make the A final :lol:

[Ian F]

Thanks for the support guys good to see everyone pulling together, I've also had a couple more book in tonight so it's looking good

[dick don]

And heat, if you grab the cars side on, hot exhaust.
Just grab the cars front and rear guys you'll be fine. Nice to see it all coming together.
And the red car is not a F1 Ferrari, it needs all the help it can get if you fancy running for it. :lol:

[GRIFF55]

I like the thinking there dyna!! Marshalling 8th isnt a problem guys, as fordy says, just all noise!
Have a good weekend guys, i'm sure it will be great fun as always:thumbsup:

[dick don]

Someone lend me an electric car, liking the sound of an A final. :woot:

[evolution]

I recon there will be enough of each class Ian, so there more than likely won't be anything to worry about. I'll be pressing some of the newer lads at club on friday to come and play. i'm sure a good few will book in on the day.
The weather at Talywain was a pain in the butt, so something similiar if it happens won't put me off.
Those attending will muck in i'm sure if it means making the meeting work.

[Ian F]

Booking in will close at midday Saturday, there will be NO booking in on the day, if you turn up not booked in I will try to fit you in but if the heat is full you will not be racing, you can pm me on here, email me at club email(on first page of thread) or post your details on here.

Ian

[chris.c]

Has anyone got a new set of 2wd yellow minispikes I could buy off them on sunday?

thanks

[Jamie.T]

If you ask Paul knight (evolution on here) im sure he can bring some with him Chris, although with the latest forecast you may be better off with greens.

[chris.c]

Im running leccy no truggys. Is the forecast wet is it?

[leeboy44]

Im running leccy no truggys. Is the forecast wet is it?

gives it a bit better sunday ( i hope )

chris you got pm pal! can you pm me your phone number ?

thanks

[GRIFF55]

get a set of green ballistic spikes, they work well in the dry and the wet. if its 2wd use green shuey mini spikes up front with blikkies on the rear.

[Ian F]

Oh well 3 1/10 pulled out today so some easy points for the people attending

[Jamie.T]

The lack of support being shown to Saundersfoot at this round is appalling. All the time i hear people complain of not enough racing events in Wales, then when a WRCA series gets put together, the people who moaned dont even enter!!!

Come on guys, show your support and get your entries in.

[Ian F]

Gates open 8am
Booking in from 8 till 9am
Drivers brief 9.10 on the track
Racing starts 9.20
1 practice, 4 rounds of qualifying

Ian

[jaffacake]

Meeting cancelled due to weather

[i4n]

Meeting cancelled due to weather

Disappointing, but thanks for making a decision early so plans etc. can be changed.

Hope it is re-scheduled as I was looking forward to the trip and the racing.

Ian

[cjm_2008]

Meeting cancelled due to weather

Good call. According to the forecast it looks absolutely horrendous (I.e. The new June).

I'll be well up for the rescheduled meet as long as I'm not otherwise booked :)

[ant west 71]

dam shame its been cancelled, was looking forward to racing.

[Balders]

Sorry to read that guys, I hope it can be run at some point this year as had a great time the twice we raced last year!

[Dyna]

Thats a shame tbh. I was ready for the weather, I just wanted to race...

Will it be re-scheduled Ian ?
