PM SteveB re the tyres etc. I'm running Schumacher Mini Pins on my Cat SX and normally run worn mini spikes with a dry track. Losi XXCR is in hibernation until spring, so I'm only doing 4WD! Pm your radio info and PTs and I'll get you into the system if you want. |

Could someone confirm. Is it a staggered grid with everyone starting at the same time or, staggered in that we go of when our number is called? I really don't fancy 4 or 5 of the later. |

staggered is when your number is called.
Double checked the BRCA handbook |

Dave & Neil, what is the format you normally run? |

We usually run 4 qualifying with staggered starts, you go when your number is called, random in the first round, then the fastest time in round 1 goes first in round 2, the same for round 3 and 4, the fastest time in all rounds, not just the last round. This means if you went fastest in round 1, then broke in round 2, and no one beat your time, you go off first again, you earn the right to go off first by having the fastest time.
Then finals, I like 3 leg finals, but most clubs only run 1 final in the winter because of time. But if you had enough time 3 leg finals is much better |

Hi Dave, the Yellow Mini Pins work well, most of our drivers use these as these are availible trackside and tend to be most handy to get hold of. BB pink or green mini pins, but wear very fast and last only one meeting, so for club racers not the cheapest option. Depending conditions the track can get greasy and become slippery with whatever tyre you choose. At little advice from my limited experience with car, put your cars to short wheel base and 2 - 3 degree`s toe to help with grip, 1.5 to 2 in dry. Lots of droop. 6.5 is plenty but if Nathan`s as good as Ive heard a 4.5 will be a piece of cake. Large wing for grip and no cooling holes in body to protect electrics. Small wing for change of direction and short corners. Whatever you best prefer. Clutch is handy. Hope this helps. |

Cheers guys, I have a 6.5 in my Cat, Nathan may have a 5.5. But your setup sounds good. As I said, Nathan is very good with setup so I am sure he will be developing it all day!!!
Will have plenty of tyres for choice and I am sure we will be there bright and early for plenty of practise!!! Oh and most important is to make some new friends and race our cars!!! |

Steve I have emailed Phil... |

Chaps, I have put a poll up with regards to racing format
http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34934 Now the stagger option doesn't take into account whether it's based around FTD, last result etc. It's just to guage the basic format |
