DMS MCC "Summer Shootout" - August 6th and 13th

[Darren Boyle]

DMS Model Car Club - Summer Shootout 2015

We are holding a "winner takes all" Summer Shootout at our Indoor venue at Parmiters Sport Centre, Watford to take place over two consecutive Thursdays - the 6th and 13th of AUGUST.

The format is five rounds of qualifying and 3 legged finals for all (four rounds on August 6th then the one remaining round on August 13th followed by the three leg finals) there will also be 40 mins open practice at the start of each evening too.

Qualifying will be round by round format with 3 rounds from 5 to count. 3 leg finals for all

Separate classes and finals for 2wd buggies and 4wd buggies and (if enough interest), off road micros, stadium trucks and short course trucks too.

Cost is £10 for both evenings (£5 per night), with trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each A final and the winner only of every final there after.

There will also be a small raffle too, to be held on the finals night, with one FREE ticket per entry, extra tickets will also be on sale at £1 each.

Booking in is now open on our club website - www.dmsresults.co.uk (Don't forget to enter in both evenings)

For those who can only attend one of the two nights you are still more than welcome to attend, however trophies will only be awarded based on finals results (so you ideally need to be there the first week to qualify) then if you are only able to attend the second week you will only have one round score counting (instead of three), however you are still more than welcome to come and race on either evening....
