Ive never been before, and not sure how I actually get to go; but after seeing the race report from the last two years, Ive already spoke to the Mrs about hiring a motorhome and making the oOple race part of our summer hols (Miss mini-Cardnim sprog included!)

[David Church]

Can I put my name down as the official commentator please? I got soooooo much grief for not coming in 2011 that it's just easier to go to the 2012 meeting haha!!!!!!

[coleman758]

Hey Guys,

How does this work? Id like to be there for the 2012 race :woot:
But i'm not sure how it works?

Do i need to apply or something?

[WHITTLER555]

Hi, Eventually there will be a form for you to request an entry.

The event is invitational so the entries are not guaranteed until you receive a request for your money and are Invited to the event.

Hope that helps?

[john333]

There will be a chance to apply some time in the new year. You have to register your interest and the LOVELY, GREAT and AMAZING man that is Northy will hopefully pick you (AND ME!!!) to enter.

[WHITTLER555]

No pressure then Northy, for it is you who solely chooses the entrants for the Oople Invanational! YOU DA MAN!!!

[john333]

I know it probably isn't just Northy that selects drivers, but it read better with just the one name :-)

[WHITTLER555]

No, its defo Northy! Ha! Ha!:woot:

[john333]

And what a great job I'm sure he'll do! :woot::woot:

[Stu]

G is the entries secretary, but Damo is the oOple office boss.

[steveproracing]

Who is the tea bitch........vermin or lil Ben??

[Oscar]

Damo is the oOple office boss.

True, you can't Shiekh a stick at his talent ............

Sorry that was poor :blush:

[WHITTLER555]

You're not going anywhere near my stick with your talent:woot:

[TARTMAN]

So, i guess the invites are for top racers only?
no chance of a returning from many years back and thawing the thumbs larger than life loud helpfull chap like myself getting an invite, hhhmmmpfhhhhh............. LOLOL.........:thumbsup::woot:

[Col]

Nope, Daz.

Some "top" drivers will automatically receive an invite, as well as some foreign racers, but the bulk of the field has always been made up of us mere mortals:thumbsup:

[TARTMAN]

What ya saying big boss man Col. thats there is, althou very very slim, a chance that a mere very mortal man, such as myself, by some miracle or fate/luck/hope/dream/wish/etc, that there may be a pit table with my name, tartman/Darren/Daz/git etc, just waiting for my pile of RC stuff to be plonked on?
wow, faith returned to the world of hopefull old(ish) timers returning to the real world of model cars!!!!

:woot::thumbsup::woot::thumbsup: :woot: :thumbsup: :woot::thumbsup: :woot::thumbsup: :woot::thumbsup:

By being on best behaviour in my case!!!!

[James]

Indeed, best behaviour, contributing to the R/C community, not being tools on the forums would all help people gain an entry, generally contributing positively to our sport is going to help bigtime!

[russmini]

Amen !!!! Can't wait for the 2012 edition :D

Oh and why have you changed your Username ?? I got confused at first. Not hard i know, lol

Being a total tool in an inoffensive way may be an advantage.

At least I'm half way there then:D

Public floggings????:confused::confused:

[Stu]

While not being organised specifically for children the Invernational is formatted with the intention that famalies may want to attend, so that may need to be in a seperate area.

[Oscar]

Public floggings????:confused::confused:
Surely your crimes against oOple don't deserve such a severe punishment eh Dave ? :D:D:D

[budfish]

I could see how some people could see it as fitting but only the ones who have been on the barrel end of the banter:D

Mr.Tumble!!!! ???? :drool::drool::drool::drool: :thumbsup:
That would be awesome - little Emily would be in heaven with Mr.Tumble looking after her and then I can go race!

[Col]

I'd be forced to acquire a shotgun license if that wierdo came within 100miles of me

[budfish]

Maybe that's it we're going to publicly flog mr tumble for his crimes against parents everywhere :DObviously in a rc related way!!

[cornishboy176]
