Holy moly! Well done to all for getting the dates this early! Big Thank you! :thumbsup:

:thumbsup:

Will Shields turn round with 2wd being 1st same as Teesside?

Just thinking about the grass cutting up thats all??

Let's get this promoted big time on social media, and see how many participants we can get. Bigger than ever this year!

Regional dates
 

Fantastic, the dates are out so quick this year. Pity the last Batley regional is in September. I see that Bury is on the calendar again, is there any caravan spaces this year?

Hi Kash any news when booking in opens please? Cheers Dave

Tyre Rules?
 

Anyone any ideas on the 2017 Tyre Rules for the NE regionals? Are they the same as the Midlands region? or free choice? thanks

?????

Probably when Neal gets back from holiday and sorts the entry form out ;)

Sorry guys, was on holiday. I'll get it done later on tonight, just catching up...

Any update on this then?

Each club was asked to nominate two dry and a wet tyre choice for their track.

Booking in will be opened two weeks before each event. I'll post the links here and on facebook, so everyone will have chance to book in.

Is there a deadline for them to nominate them then Lewis? Just seems a little pointless if some of us are testing on the wrong tyres, sorry to be a pain. I'm guessing all rounds will be following the Mids tyre Rules, though not nessarily ie Schumacher Mini Spike, Dart and Ballistic Buggy Minispike for the wet, possibly. But potentially 15 tyre types from the last post... 😂

Booking in for Batley 4wd Round on the 23rd April

Rules updated please note Tyre Rule for 2017. The choice of tyres has been chosen carefully and you don't need to buy tyres that will never be used again :)

Appreciate all the effort it takes to set up the regionals but a bit more notice would be preferable

Just out of interest why do the nationals have a choice of 2 tyres per round and regionals have a choice of 3? Doest this make it more expensive?

Just to add to Kash's post, I've created a Google map of the regional tracks. You can view it here: https://goo.gl/qRkPmP
