Is it all the series to count or 4 of the 6 and what are the regs for being a veteran, is it when you where 40. I think Damo will have that sawn up lol. The reason I am asking is I can't do the first 2. Oh and do you have to be a club member.

Cheers Spen

Yes Spencer it will be 4 rounds to count from 6.
It is open to everyone, not just club members.
I may have to change Vets Trophy to OAP's :woot::woot::p

There has to be some benefit for being over 40!!!:p

life begins doesn't it?? hope so i'm there next time:woot:

Can we have a special class for 63+? :)

I am a month and a half over 40 now Damo just waiting for the benifits.:D

Booking in is now open :thumbsup:

This Sunday will be the third week we will have raced on our all new indoor astroturf track and the feedback we've had so far has been excellent.

One key question that keeps cropping up is what tyres should I run? The simple answer is start out by treating it just as you would an outdoors astroturf track with High-Medium to High Grip. The popular opinion for 2WD seems to be staggered fronts and Schuy Yellow or Bally White mini-spikes rear. Although, a few seem to have had reasonable results with Schuy Yellow mini-pins and dB Nanobytes. I tried Terrabytes both A and B compound and they didn’t provide enough grip.

The good news is that, whatever tyre choice drivers have made, everyone has commented on how little wear they are encountering. It all makes the £7 race fee look very attractive. There's still some places left - book in before it's too late.

Booking in update
 

Entries have been updated. Check #11 above Booking in is still open so send your details to:-
booking-in@srcc.co.uk

we tried mini pins which worked OK, but found your outdoor tires worked great mini spike yellows front and back,staggers on the front were OK as well,as fare as grip goes i would say medium / defo not high grip,but none the less very very good,
and although we will miss the first event will be there at the rest,

I've certainly noticed an increase in grip from the first meeting to the second. Last week I was starting to get grip role in places and had to change from Schuy Yellow's to Bally Whites. It may be because the astro is starting to get a coating of rubber from the tyres.

could be tony thanks for letting us know mate,cant wait to come along again in a few weeks

Booking in has been extended until 9pm tomorrow.

Is there mains power available???

Also I have sent entry, but haven't heard anything. Is it ok to turn up?

I noticed that their is only 4wd next to 1 name, is everybody else doing 2wd???

Hi Rob, I sent a confirmation via booking-in@srcc.co.uk at 4:32pm Fri 26th :p

At the momment there are not enough 4wd for a heat so I suggest you bring your 2wd with you.
