Help some Newbies! Midwest Regionals

[Chris Green]

Hello!

Now that the regional dates are announced, myself and Westw00d are planning our summer.

I'll be running at both the 2WD and 4WD rounds, (excluding June 15th 2WD Stoke, and Aug 10th, 4WD Shrewsbury), and I've got loads of questions...

1. Are entries limited? if so, do I need to enter quickly to guarantee an entry?

2. Does anyone have postcodes for the following tracks;

Coventry
Ledbury
Kidderminster
Stoke
Oswestry
Dudley
Marston
East Shrewsbury

8 new venues for me! can't wait!

3. When will the control tyres be announces? are 2WD front's an open choice?

4. can you run a 2WD on the 4WD events?

5. Do most people use generators? or 12V batteries?

6. what is the race format? practise, 3 qualifiers, 2 finals?

7. What is a typical start time?

8. I guess gazebo's / tents are common? is there anything else that is advisable for my first season of outdoor racing?

9. As we are allowed to use cells off the 2007 EB list, could anyone find me a 2007 list? I can't find it. or, can anyone confirm if GrePow Kapow 4200's are on the list? Also, A friend of mine uses Much More 3800 stick packs? are these homologated? The addition to rule 2.4, iirc, states stick packs in factory heatshrink are ok up to 3700's?

10. If anyone's got any waterproofing tips, I'd be grateful!


Thank you very much!


Chris.
