Possible new club venue in Nottinghamshire
We are looking to expand from 1/18th off-road into 1/10th off road and have a potential venue.
If we were to run a single 'test' meeting on 22nd June how many folks would come? Venue near Newark, Nottinghamshire with excellent road links via A1, A17 and A46 Track would be grass with a good height 'earth bank' rostrum complete with safety fence. Classes : 4WD and 2WD mod. Plenty of parking and pitting space. Village pub a short walk! Please post if you would consider attending.

Tim, i'd attend if nothing on, which i'm sure I haven't. Think a new venue/club with in the region will be more than welcome by all. Location wise it would be spot on, with all the off road clubs either in Lincolnshire or Nottingham your club is bang in the middle

Can slap an on-line entry form on Me-or if you want Tim. Then you will know how many prospective drivers you will be getting. PM me with an e-mail address and we will get it sorted.

You have a point Rob its a bit shorter notice but wasn't thinking a two day event (for this year at least) but a one day one. I'm sure with the power of the internet and word of mouth the meeting will be well attended

Only 3 rounds of qualifying? I presume it will be round by round? Will it be 2 from 3? If so it doesnt leave much room for error.

Yeah - I know 4 rounds would be better, but club software only allows for 3 rounds a qualis - until we have funds to upgrade!
Hence 2 legs of finals (possibly 3 if we have time!) to give as much racing time as we can. Will be RBR and 2 from 3 - so no there is not a lot of room for error I guess! It is our first tenth meeting as a club so we are looking to gauge interest. The venue looks promising though. Please can everyone who lives locally make an effort to attend if they are interested so we can work out if there is the demand!

What software is it tim? I can't believe that it will only allow you to do three rounds of qualifying for round by round. I thought even the free ones did that
I have always wanted to try the laps racing system at a meeting where your final position overall is based on race points. Mass starts each run. I think we need to bring the racing back into radio controlled car racing

It's bbkRC ECO.
Let's have a vote on the day - I'd sooner go for LAPS racing style. For me, with the absence of finals, we are there to RACE rather than qualify. Gives more room to make up for a bad run, and a chance for drivers to race people of an ability above their usual. Also makes overtaking, and coping with 'traffic' more of a factor and, for me, more fun!

I like the idea of the Laps system.
It'll be a full days 'racing'.
