Default EPR this Sunday

Am going to make my first appearance at the regional on Sunday

Just as a spectator mind you, was tempted by the open 2wd but would like to practice first! What time does everything kick off? Can lend a hand if needed...

I'll be the very tall bloke looking a bit lost

We will be there early to set-up but practice wont start until 8.30am or so...

I would recommend having a go in the open class. No pressure as the keen ones will be competing in 4WD and its a perfect opportunity to get some timed laps in and advice from the other racers.

TBH I am not sure...

Tony E was thinking about racing in the SE region but not sure what he decided. Also, I thought Marc was going to come to a few of the meetings

I will pick up the e-mails and add your info to our new bbk timing software.

PS: Did you get your BRCA membership card?

How do you register for the open 2wd? Do you need brca membership for open classes and do you need brca approved batteries?

You register by e-mail or on the day. BRCA membership is needed to compete in the regional series, and is highly recommended, you can purchase on the day, but you can race without a BRCA membership for up to 3 races, but you will not be able to score points for the regional championship as I have said.

You do need BRCA approved batteries, but come along and have a go, if your batteries are not up to spec we will loan you some that are!!!

See you sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers David

Just to clarify though, I thought the 2wd being 'open' meant it was outside of the BRCA regional series? Rules on batteries and membership still apply?

Have an older Trakpower 4900 pack (no BRCA sticker) but should have a newer BRCA approved one by Sunday... just need to borrow a bit of power from somewhere!

Will register on the day if I'm going to race - for future reference what is the email address to use?

Cheers

Email address is on here: http://www.edenparkraceway.com/

The membership is also insurance if you get injured, if you intend on racing often this year then it's worth the few quid it costs and why clubs need people to be registered.

There will be someone there with available power, i will have my 12v with me if you need some.

Please e-mail your details including name, crystals and car to the edenparkraceway address.

Obviously you donmt have BRCA membership just yet so we will assume your BRCA formula grading is F5

Default update on our National

Just to let you know that the EPR committee would like just to have a quick chat after the regional event on Sunday about the National that we are hosting in June.

Unlike previous chats, this will hopefully be very quick as we just want to make sure that we have the right people in place for jobs before and during the weekend.

We will remind everyone at drivers' briefing but this is just to let you know that anyone who thinks that they can help are more than welcome to attend.
