Welcome to the return of the oOoos! Round 3 of the 2015 series is here at Mendip RC Raceway.

We will open the gates on Friday the 3rd of July and will make sure that someone is there to open the gate for anyone that is arriving early on the Friday evening.

I will be staying at the holiday park that is short walk from the site, so please send a message if you can't get in to the site when you arrive.

We will have all our usual delights at Mendip,
Covered pits for up to 70 drivers.

Aidan,
Standard tyres really, as in all astro tracks....

When it's really dry and the sand kicks up, Ballistic whites work very well. Otherwise, Schumacher Yellows do the trick. Cut the inner and outer rows of spikes off.

Wet,
Ballistic greens.

On the front,
It's really down to personal choice here.
4wd, when it's dry - two row studs, cut staggers or standard ribs in yellow work well depending on your car.
wet - Ballistic greens.
It's the same story for the 2wd. Except when it's wet, people have used either Schumacher green or silver cut staggers.

Hope that helps! See you in a couple of weeks and don't forget to tell Bally that I am going to whoop him this time round! Even if that means having to spike his pie with Vodka! I will also be laying traps for you Northern monkeys in our tent!

Yes indeed! If you struggle to get in, just shout on the FB page and I'll come and open the gate.

It's most likely to already be open though, so don't worry about turning up late
