:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[tnx king]

:thumbsup:you have got to love shortcourse racing great video :thumbsup:

[Frecklychimp]

Video is great up until '3:08' where Brooky Jnr got his lead took out lapping a pair of novices :thumbdown:

If you are reading this then you will be getting a lecture in racing etiquette :p

Brooky and Smithy at their finest up until then... hope they are both in for SCT at oOple Invernational 2012, will be a blast :thumbsup:

Carnage 2.5 is going to be a blast... we've got some mega features in the pipeline :drool:

[reg]

that some quality skill from the man doing the filming:thumbsup:

[Frecklychimp]

Certainly is, Beadle would be proud :thumbsup:

Even caught Smithy cheating... that could be controversial with the way the 2WD SCT points are split at the minute

[Hpi_guy]

I have discussed my etiquette with chris and got the issue sorted

[big smithy]

Certainly is, Beadle would be proud :thumbsup:

Even caught Smithy cheating... that could be controversial with the way the 2WD SCT points are split at the minute
did you see john come off the wall of death on to the brown matting and then skip to the next corner where chris hit him :confused: maybe not plus john won already

[Frecklychimp]

Fair point matey, apologies :thumbsup:

Thought you were still in the fight, with chance of a 200 in the next round?

[Robbiejuk]

Fair point matey, apologies :thumbsup:

Thought you were still in the fight, with chance of a 200 in the next round?

Well if Smithy got a 200 then it would be equal on points, but Jon would win on countback. If I have worked that out right. 3rd place for me no matter what happens now :(

[Hpi_guy]

Better than my current 9th rob

[tnx king]

Well I hope that all this chat about short course racing is getting you in the mood for racing and booking in :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Frecklychimp]

Trophies look awesome and there are Raffle prizes kindly donated by the sponsors so will hopefully be as good as the last Carnage meeting.

Hopefully Stadium Truck owners reading this will come along and race, mines ready to go and there are a few more keen for this meeting.

Will be a great start to the 2012 Truck Racing Season :thumbsup:

[shark]

Just a little reminder :thumbsup:

[Hpi_guy]

Are the times the same as the arena x times?

[tnx king]

door open at 7 and racing starting at 10am :thumbsup:

[Julie Hall]

Are children/novices welcome at the Short Course Carnage on 25th March?

[Frecklychimp]

All driver levels and ages are welcome Julie, as long as they have BRCA membership.

The same applies to the SCT National series, there were many Juniors last year which is great for the class and hobby and is greatly encouraged :thumbsup:

[Julie Hall]

Thanks, we did the SCT Nationals last year and were made very welcome by the organisers of all the rounds. I just wanted to make sure that this event was as supportive of juniors.

[Richard Lowe]

There were many Juniors last year which is great for the class and hobby and is greatly encouraged :thumbsup:

This was something I noticed at the meetings last year, it's awesome to see so many new faces to the hobby having fun :)

Looking forward to seeing Jamie and Tommy going fast again :thumbsup:

[ironmangav]

Any idea of number of entry's the more the better?

[tnx king]

Not as many as i thought but enough to make it a good days racing :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Come on shortcourse guys this event was put on to just for you to see some real bumper to bumper racing !!

Remember we are indoors so no matter what the weather we will be racing

Get yourself booked in Arenax.co.uk pay on the day:thumbsup::thumbsup:

It is so much easier for us if you actually book in before hand and not on the day makes it run alot smoother

Look forward to seeing you all there

Ben

[tnx king]

just been finishing the new added features to the track and its looking good for the weekend :thumbsup::thumbsup:

photo's??

[Frecklychimp]

Now that would just ruin the surprise!

If i said we have sprinkled some magic growing dust on the wall ride then that would give you a clue to one of the new features :drool:

Doors open at 7am and Racing starts at 10am so there is plenty of open track time to get your trucks dialled in and used to the track.

So 3 hours of open practice time, 5 rounds of qualifying and depending on driver numbers/vote we could run extra finals or a reverse grid race of champions with top 3 from each final at the end?

Now you can't beat that amount of track time for £7

Trophies are made and look very special, massive thanks to Wes at JollyGoodz for using his awesome skills to create them :thumbsup:

plus there are some specially donated goodies from the meeting sponsors in the raffle as with all our SCT Carnage meetings.

A1 Hobbies Ltd will be there with lots of SCT spares and goodies, noticed a big box of dBoots Nanobyte SCT tyres have been delivered and they work a treat on our track.

Can't wait to see the trucks battling it out :wub

[shortcoursegoat]

when is the latest i can sign in and how many 4wd entered?

[Frecklychimp]

You can book in on the day, however to help us with meeting timings and to organise Trophies, marshal cover etc etc it is encouraged to book in asap which is why we have online booking set up!

There is at least a full heat of 4wd's so far but I don't have access to the booking in info.

It will be a brilliant days racing and you have to be in it to win it as they say!

We'll be getting videos and plenty of pics to show the r/c world how much fun the UK SCT racing is.
:thumbsup:

[ironmangav]

Any chance of taking advantage of the good weather and taking it onto the outdoor track?

[Frecklychimp]

That is a definite firm no i'm afraid, can see the point and it would be a nice idea but its far too late in the day to move venue...

bearing in mind the many voluntary hours and cost that has already gone into the indoor venue to hold this meeting, our relationship with the owner of our indoor venue having a booking pulled less than 24hrs before the meeting and the fact that it will take more than the time we now have left to prepare a track at the outdoor venue to hold a meeting there...

plus the outdoor venue still needs a couple of weeks of reasonable drying time so the car park and grounds are not damaged through heavy use.

Oh yeah and i need to repair the generator before we run any outdoor meetings and i'm 60 miles away getting my truck prepped too :lol:

Thats without getting word out to everyone that the meeting is moved and that racers (including myself) will have invested in tyres and set up time for an indoor meeting.

There will be plenty of outdoor SCT action to come at A1 Racing Club this year... heard a rumour of a possible SCT endurance team meeting?.... maybe a SCT Carnage 2012 when it's warmer and dryer too?

[brooky]

Long winded just say no :p:p

[Frecklychimp]

Racers either don't notice/understand or simply forget the voluntary work that goes into running meetings and building tracks, hence the essay

Anyway Dad... you can have your dead tyres back tomorrow that i've found in my pit box ... you are funny... in the head!

:rolleyes::p

:rolleyes::p

I do notice and do understand,but without the racers there would not be an event considering im driving 140 miles each way as i have done for 4 races of the arena X series just thought i would ask.

[tnx king]

It is always good to see you aswell:thumbsup::thumbsup:

There will be food on tomorrow which i have got to say is normally very good:drool:

can not wait untill tomorrow !!

ben

[Frecklychimp]

Don't forget the clocks go forward tonight too :thumbdown:

I'm hoping to be there at 6am (5am normally, ouch!) to do the finishing touches, so i'll make sure the water heater is boiling for the early birds needing caffiene :lol:

If the weather delivers then it'll be a great meeting like the last Arena X was, catching some sun outside between the heats!

Bring it on, going to be some great fun truck racing :thumbsup:

[reg]

sounding good,have you chosen the format we will be running?

Iv just taken delivery of the trophys,a top job by Wes Jolly,they are awsome...........it looks like he has forgotten to do one for 1st place 4x4:lol:

see ya all in the morning


not to self:dont forget them:thumbsup:

[Richard Lowe]

I booked in for 2wd but can't make it tomorrow, can I be taken out of the heats :(

[Frecklychimp]

Ok Richard will sort it in morning thanks for letting us know matey,

Shame you can't make it, hope to see you at the SCT Nationals this year.

[JezT]

Great Day today - thanx to the team

[Frecklychimp]

Thanks to everyone that came to SCT Carnage 2.5 yesterday,

was a fun enjoyable meeting with lots of close Truck racing action and plenty of thrills and spills!

A report will be published asap and there are lots of photos to get sorted so will post them up asap too!

Keep an eye out in future Racer magazines for the full meeting report.

Well done to John Brook with the 2WD SCT Carnage title and Andy Wesson for taking the 4WD SCT Carnage Win :thumbsup:

Bring on some more Truck racing, great fun!

Cheers,

Love SC Racing,just managed to hold it together for the win in the 3rd race in the B-final,after having DNF and DNS the first two,even with a popped steering turnbuckel on the last lap and half.Any crashed across the line to win by something like .001 of sec.
If anybody was watching would have been a great one for a:p Vid!
