2012 / 2013 WRCA Indoor Series

[JACKOR33]

So following on from our successful Summer outdoor season its time to announce our indoor series.....

Ok so i have some big shoes to fill following on from the past series organised by Pete Belsten and i'm still not quite sure how i ended up getting the task lol

Been thinking of changing things a little for the finals, i.e running the Bump up system this would help out people who have a bad day or somebody who is having a good day moving from a C final all the way to an A final with a chance of winning the meeting in the most extreme example!!
Anyway its just a thought and offers people progression and extra race time - feel free to let me know what you think? - As i'm sure you will!

I'll update this as soon as all clubs confirm venue availability etc

Venues / Prelim dates
Round 1 - Cobra - 28th OctoberCONFIRMED
Round 2 - COBRA - 18th NovemberCONFIRMED
Round 3 - Caldicot - 16th December CONFIRMED
Round 4 - WORM - 20th January - Cancelled
Round 5 - Caldicot - 17th FebruaryCONFIRMED

Classes:
The following classes will run - subject to a minimum entry of 6 cars:
1/10 2wd
1/10 4wd
1/10 Vintage (cars manufactured prior to 1994)*
1/10 Trucks (stadium & short course)
Micro 4wd*
Micro 2wd*
*classes may be combined with other comparable classes if insufficient numbers
It is the responsibility of the drivers entering multiple classes (not the host club) to organise substitute marshals if required

Looking forward to some more close racing across the classes again!!

Not really a fan of the bump up system TBH as its never used in 10th

However, if it is used, does that mean I can just arrive for either the last round of quali or the start of the finals ?

Was thinking after you said that that we could use it as a handicapp system for you,craig and griff so you turn up and start in the bottom final every event

Cap max amount of cars per final now, save the complaints later...

Bump ups, they are do-able, but will mean even more computer work for the Race Directors

Didn't have you down as a 2 Unlimited fan Pete....

The bump up idea isn't bad really, I could just see people struggling with charging and hot motors & speedos tbh. In theory you might have to go 3 races on the trot with little time in between, not easy.

10 car finals at all clubs would be nice.....i say would be nice

It wouldn't be nice at Cobra or Worm and mildly uncomfortable at Caldy

Cobra:
If we have a a wheelchair driver on the rostrum then there is no way we can have 10 car finals - as 8 drivers is a push which tbh is the most i'd really like to put on there for safety reasons fullstop! Besides the amount of track area we have doesnt really support 10 cars on track sorry

Caldicot:
Is also tight with 10 cars on the track, 10 micros is hard enough work lol

Worm:
Pretty sure they can get 10 people on their stage/rostrum but would be a squeeze


Personally I think 8 cars are managable given the size of our indoor venues and rostrums, an extra 2 cars will just make for carnage for 5mins as opposed to racing and that's what everyone wants good racing not dodging cars and marshals constantly!!

[DCM]

To make the racing tidier, 6 car finals, maybe 8 for micro's.

It would seem team caldicot are against the bump up system and so are the majority of others i have spoken to - ill sort a poll for people to vote on but doesnt look promising lol
Does anyone have any input / changes they'd like to be considered for this series??

7 car finals for all classes. Let's not make it more complicated by having different numbers per class.

6 minute finals?
