Hi.
Thinking of entering this for this weekends 4wd regional,can you tell me is there is any open practice on saturday as I have not been to this track before?.
Thanks.

[mikeyscott]

Hi Mark would be great to see you make the trip!

No it'll be on a limited practice on the day, but it's a great track and venue

Hi Mark

As Mike said, we do not alloy any practice on a regional track. We like to ensure its a level playing field on the day. The last time you will be able to practice is our first midweek meeting, this Wednesday.

Hi Paul. Can't make the mid week as I live in Southampton. I used to race 1/8th on road nationals so I'm used to practicing on the saturday to find a set up and get used to a new track layout(sorry about the rant!).
Also I run gens ace batteries and motor,can you tell me if thats ok to use at the regionals?.
Cheers.

Hi Mark

Speaking to our regional rep, it sounds like the cells ate on the approved list, could you supply more details of the motor and cells and we can definitely confirm.

Thanks
Paul

Hi mark

You need to check your kit here http://www.brca.org/?q=content/homol...-updates/14218. Had a quick look and think the gens ace batteries are brca legal(assuming they are the saddles), but not the motors

Cheers

I know this is stupidly short notice but is there still a way of booking in to this meeting?
I would be running as a guest as I am scoring points in the Mid West region for 4wd.

Would I still get a practice if I booked in now? Not sure on your regions rules (a link to them would be appreciated).

I'm mainly planning on coming along to get on Tony's nerves

[RudeTony]

Your too nice of a guy to get on my nerves Rog .....

That will be a pony you now owe - LOL

[Northern Monkey]

Hope you've booked the weather Tony, really looking forward to this one

Good luck for the weekend Mikey and Al. I will be interested to see the results. Should also say good luck to any other 'TORCH' members taking part. K cars on the increase at TORCH. I will be at Silverstone in a Ferarri.
Ha! Ha! No, not mine. Just an opportunity to drive a big car around a proper track. See you all next week.

Does anyone know how I can change my ability level for the mid south series?

Emailed the change of details section on DMS-results, but not sure if its worked or not?

Dont want to be in the bottom heat again if I can help it...

I think it's based on your F Rating. So top heat F1 and bottom heat F5.

Matt is correct in that most clubs this year have adotped to sort heats based on F grade, we have also been making a note of the results from the first two and "adjusting" people grades based on an average too so some have movd up and some down slightly...

We had a few modest people who underestimated how good they were but a LOT of people who seem to think they are FAR better then they are (or their results show that they are at least)

Hi Adam. Just because you were in my heat at TORCH should not detract from your performance. It was a pleasure to race against you, and also good to meet you. However, I sympathise with your situation. Anyway, good luck this weekend mate. I am not at DMS for the next 2wd round, but look forward to seeing you again at SHRCCC for round 3 2wd.
