I'm hoping to goto all of the above, except the one on 7th June as its my birthday (and my girlfriends'!) on the 8th so i guess we will be busy that day.
What sort of surface is the costal off road track? Anyone race there? |

Both Coastal and MERCC are grass tracks. Coastals track is at the bottom of the ski slope, but it is still on a large slope which makes getting a setup interesting as last year we ended up with lots of off camber corners and it was all rather quick with a long down hill straight.
The venue is good as there is indoor pitting and mains power to, and the crew from coastal always do some great commentry on the qualifying and racing. Hope that helps, but any further questions fire away.

I would think your setup from MERCC would be an ideal starting point for Coastal. As they are both grass tracks, just a bit of minor tweeking to suite your driving on the day. If you want a hand with setups there is bound to be someone there that will give you some pointers. Or just ask away on here, most cars are used by someone in the region.

If you have a B4 I can help you out, if it's a Losi I would look in the Losi section on here at Danny Mcgees, I know someone that has used it on their Losi and said it's really good.

With the first round only 5 days away this is just a reminder for drivers to get their entries in as quickly as possible.
This will enable the heat lists to be prepared early and should help us in getting started on time. So far the top 3 drivers from last years series are all booked in plus 3 others. Please ensure that you have your BRCA membership cards with you at your first meeting this year. Given that the Region had over 30 drivers taking part in 2WD last year I would have expected more to have booked in by now. Where are you all?? Trevor __________________ BRCA EoE Offroad Regional Rep

IMPORTANT To all those attending the 2wd Regional at Braxted Sunday 26 April. Due to road closure in Henry Dixon Road (presumably for bridge repairs), access to Braxted Track will only be via Kelvedon Road (alternative name is Braxted Road) from Kelvedon of from the B1022 from Tiptree/Maldon. If is possible to get to Braxted Park Road (where Broadfield Fruit Farm, our track site is situated) from Chelmsford / Witham via the country lanes, but I would strongly advise against this unless people (a) know the area or (b) have an updated SatNav! The section of road that is closed is from a point just South of the A12 in Henry Dixon Road to just before the junction with Bratxed Road / Kelvedon Road (where the red brick wall starts). The postcode for our site is CO5 0QB. The contact number for the day is 07913 350189. http://www.mercc.co.uk/

Congratulations to David Orbell for winning the First East of England 2wd Regional at MERCC on Sunday. I thought that despite the low turn out of entries it was a really good days racing and everyone I spoke to seemed to enjoy being back on the regional scene after the winter break. The weather helped loads as it was a nice warm day and MERCC has done a superb job with laying out a technical but flowing track.
I personally thought that the 3 rounds of qualifying and 3 leg finals for everyone put a bit more pressure on doing a decent qualifying run each time out, while the three leg finals gave drivers the chance to be a bit ambitious in a leg knowing that they had another chance. All in all a good days racing and hope to see some more faces at the first 4wd regional at Coastals track in Ipswich.
