Ballymena Summer Series Dates

[h0m3sy]

The NIMCC have announced their dates for the Summer series. The electric buggy class will run alongside their 8th scale nitro cars. The track for those that don't know is an all astro affair with a good mix of jumps thrown in. A lot of work has been done over the winter to get the track in great shape for this up-coming series. It is situated just behind the Ecos Centre in Ballymena, litteraly 2mins off the motorway. Please see below for the list of dates.....

12th May round1
9TH June (RCCAOI)
16/17TH June (BRCA)
30th Jun round2
21st Jul round3
4th Aug round4
25th Aug round5
8th Sept round6


Please come along and enjoy some great racing at this fantastic track. The RCCAOI are holding a National round at the track on the 9th June this year as well as the second BRCA Regional on the 17th June, so this series will be an excellent oppertunity to get some practice in before hand. I was thinking we could maybe make it your best 4 from the 6 rounds. We can discuss things more with the guys from the NIMCC.:thumbsup:

Due to some issues with last weeks workparty we have to finish off some of the work this weekend and so the first round of the summer series has been changed to a work party in the morning with open practice or racing in the afternoon depending on numbers and what people want to do.

We have a spare date in August I think so that will be picked up to keep the number of rounds the same for the summer series.

Anyone wanting to lend a hand and get some practice in is more than welcome this Saturday.

hi guys,

i am thinking of heading up to race on the 9th June. This will probably be a one off for me so was just wondering will i need to joins clubs and stuff to race at this meeting or is your BRCA membership enough?

also what way will the classes be split?

any info would be great.

[h0m3sy]

The meeting on the 9th of June is the RCCAOI round 2, there are 5 classes, 2wd and 4wd mod, 2wd and 4wd clubman. There is also an open class for people who are not a member of the RCCAOI, but just want to race, you would be able to race in this open class. Your BRCA membership will do fine.

Clubman Class uses 10.5 turn motors with no ESC advance timing.

Modified Class is open to whatever motor or timing you want.

Open Class is the only class open to driver who didn't register for the championship before the closing date in March. You can run any car, any motor, any timing etc.

just looking to know if 30th June is still on?

if so can you tell me what transponders you run?
