RRCI Short Course Summer Shootout
 


Due to the sad news that the ProLine Dirt Arena is closing, RRCi has decided to move the Short Course Summer shootout to the Coventry Model Car Club’s outdoor Dirt Track on the 24th and 25th of July.

Open Practice will start at 10am on the Saturday, with full on shoulder to shoulder racing from 8am on the Sunday!

Space for camping, a BBQ and ‘other entertainment’ will be available for those travelling to the event, and for further information and to pre-book click here, or see the August issue of RRCi (out the first week in July!)

This is designed to be a fun event and a chance for all UK fans of Short Course to meet, race and push the class forward. We can then hopefully run a regular series in 2011 across the UK. Every major release of 2WD and 4WD Short Course Truck will be there, alongside the RRCi contributor team, manufacturer and distributor support, a track-side shop (and a few familiar faces from within the industry joining in the racing!)

SC related Prizes and trophies will be presented to the winners, as well as a charity raffle to give everyone the opportunity to walk away with a SC goodie of some sort!

See you there, to get down and dirty!

What are the rules?

graveltrap 05-06-2010 08:26 AM

To have some fun!! ;)

The meeting is open to all electric SC Trucks, 2WD or 4WD, Stock and modified. The only limitations are:
  • True SC wheels and tyres must be used
  • SC Bodyshells only*
  • 6 Cell NimH or 2Cell LiPo
*Extreme mutilation of shells to alleviate 'parachuting' will not be allowed, though 'trimming' and 'minimal' body mods will be! (you were warned!)

No motor limit applies (as most SC fans know, power does really corrupt!).

Saturday: Practice from 9AM, Free overnight camping, and one of CMCC's famous BBQ's

Sunday: 8.00AM booking in, 8.30AM for drivers briefing, racing commences from 9AM

I would like to know what "extreme mutilation" classes as :eh?:

jayst 05-06-2010 11:11 PM

as bad as mine si ???? :p

graveltrap 06-06-2010 09:17 AM

Jay you have a shiny new shell that you can use!! ;) :p

I'm not sure TBH, it's something the Pete mentioned when I was at the track on Friday, I do agree we need a little more clarification on the matter so I will forward the question to the RRCI crew!

I know we won't want to stop anyone from racing this is about having a giggle as much as anything else! :woot:

As far as I'm aware it's going to be booking in on the day.

We will fit number of heats and finals to the number of entrants, we are looking at 6 minute heats and multi legged extended finals (8 to 10 minutes) but this will be down to drivers on the day.

jayst 04-07-2010 04:30 PM

use my new shell on the dirt . mmm i may have a think about :confused:

graveltrap 04-07-2010 05:05 PM

I'm sure it will be fine matey....*honest* ;)

wezzer 15-07-2010 08:45 AM

Hi
can someone please give me an adress to book in on for this as i have had several customers want to come but not just book in on the day as its a bit of a distance for them !!! :thumbsup:
a link would be ace :)
thanks

graveltrap 15-07-2010 06:56 PM

Not really sure what you want wezzer, club website is www.cmcc-online.com and contains details of the location.

Track is open for Short Course based shenanigans on Saturday for a bit of fun and the racing business happens on the Sunday :thumbsup:

As previously mentioned, booking in is on the day, so I have no idea on numbers, Mad Pete (RRCi) may have a bit more info...I'll try and get hold of him when I get a mo.

Hoping to try a new track layout on the Dirt this weekend, not much has changed, just enough to make it interesting ;)

chris brown 15-07-2010 08:48 PM

Hi.
What surface is the track?
What tyres have people found to work well?

Chris.
