An important note re insurance on the day. Something we've had clearly clarified by the BRCA.

If you are entered in the amateur class and are a complete novice (never raced before) you can race without having insurance cover.

People who are experienced racers and have raced previously, and have let their BRCA insurance cover lapse will have to have insurance before they can race. Lapsed BRCA members should already understand this but the regulations aren't particularly clear which is why we've had it clarified.

A BRCA License is £17.

Please contact A1 Racing or Me if you have any questions regarding this.

Can you not drive with your feet like Masami?

If not you'll have to grow extra arms like the rest of us

Don't see how you can run 3 cars in same class when its split by heats cos you won't fit into other heats fairly for others and what are you gonna do in Finals if you qualify with more than 1 car?

You seriously can't pick a favourite? I'm just lending out the spare same class cars to get others having some fun too.

If they are Associated then you should be made to race in Wheelie race anyways

[quincey]

Gloom.😥...well I'll just have to pick to easiest one to get on with..then run that..then I'll probably break it before the final anyway and then run the daftest one....

Only 1 Buggy can be entered per class and driven throughout the 5 heats.

We've been suggesting that attendees enter a buggy that they have lots of spares for.

Cheers and hope to see you there. Closing date for entries is 20th July.

Hi, does anyone have a couple of rollers pre 88 that they would part with?
This meeting looks great, I would love to race and so would my son.

RC Autojumble
The RC Autojumble is an opportunity for entrants to bring RC gear to sell or swap with other entrants. This has nothing to do with the charity fundraising.
Please clearly mark your for sale items, to avoid confusion.
If you do hear of people/traders who are thinking of coming purely to trade, please let John Weston or A1 know. This is a charity event and traders are not welcome without a decent contribution to the fundraising.

Concours d’elegance:
Book your concourse entry in with John Weston during the morning. John will give you a ticket to be displayed next to the car during the concourse judging. John will also check concourse eligibility at booking in.
Entries must be: 70’s/80’s/90’s Buggies or Monster Trucks. Vintage & Modern Wheelies.
Concourse is £2 cash per entry, to be paid at booking in.
Awards:
Concourse Buggy
Concourse Monster Truck
Concourse Wheelie

Right revival drivers. A lot of you have booked in for the revival meeting with 27 or 40 mhz radio gear. If you have and you haven't done so already could you please send Robert Jaques which crystals you have so he can put them in the computer.
Just send him the colour or number of your crystals that you have e.g. Red, 915 etc. through the enquiry page on the revival website.
When you race you will be allocated a specific crystal for that heat so it is important that he has your crystal details so that we can have this sorted and ready and just get on with the racing without having to allocate crystals on the day.

We're currently on 54 entrants with 114 entries.

Entry closes in 2 days. No entry changes after Sunday either.

All entrants will receive an email next week detailing the day and important points like the schedule, transponders, format, points, battery charging etc.

A big thank you to Gainsy for posting up details on here for me.

Cheers. John

If I need to change what car I want to run but the car is in the same group who do I need to email?..as the car I put down I've only just discovered I cannot get batteries to fit unless I attack it with a dremel..which I don't really want to do..
