Iconic RC / A1 RC - Revival Meeting 2014 - 27.07.14



Classic off-road revival meeting bringing vintage cars back to the racing track. A friendly day's racing with the main emphasis on fun rather than competition. A great excuse to blow the cob-webs off those classic cars and use them for their designed purpose.

The event is designed for racers and amateur drivers, to relive those memories of racing back in the golden age of electric off-road racing or to try racing cars for the first time.

66887

Proceeds from the event will mainly go to our chosen charity Breast Cancer Care with a small percentage to go to the hosting club to cover costs.

The event will feature the following.

Features:

Classic Racing
Race of Champions
Wheelie Race
Concourse de elegance
RC Auto jumble
Raffle/tombola
So if you want to race or just come along and show off your Shelf queens then this is the event for you!

Superb news. Cannot wait for this.

[Iconic]

The last couple of minutes of this video showcase the fantastic A1 track. Perfect for vintage. The 1988 Tamiya Terra Scorcher was very much at home there.

[Peakey]

I have a couple of stupid questions I've not raced in a long time 20+ years so one would I class as a "pro" if so I've got my work cut out and two do you need a racing licence like you had to BITD for insurance.

[Iconic]

Hi,

You do not need BRCA for this event. (Racing License)

If you haven't raced for 20 years it's really up to you what you consider your ability to be. AM really is for complete novices though so I would think you are probably PRO.

Thanks, John

[Peakey]

I say raced more competed and I wasn't the best then

[Iconic]

Just to clarify.

BRCA is not required for racing newcomers (A1 are using the 3 race rule). Now is your chance to renew if your BRCA has lapsed.

[Peakey]

Last question (I think ) what transponder do I need ?

[gainsy]

If you don't have one then the club has hand out ones for the meeting that you can collect from race control before each heat
They will be these ones so you will need a hole in the body to mount them somewhere with a clip

[Peakey]

Arrrrr like the old ones from BITD

[gainsy]

Some of the raffle prizes that will be available to win on the day
Schumacher Racing has donated a Waverunner RTR & Fusion Hobbies have donated a Tamiya DT-03 Neo Fighter
More raffle items still to add but if there is anyone else who would like to sponsor the event it would be most appreciated

[gainsy]

2 mini comps added to the day with prizes for the winners.
Most Authentic Vintage Outfit on the Rostrum (dust off those shell suits).
Most Authentic Vintage Pit setup

[gainsy]

Jamie Booth now booked in to drive a Tamiya Top Force Evo :D
Any other big names want to come & try & beat him?

[gainsy]

Latest addition to the raffle draw is a Tamiya Lunchbox XB kindly donated by RC Racing UK

[DanB4]

Jamie needs some competition with his Top Force Evo! Calling Mr. Drescher!

[kaylon]

Really wish I could make this... but plans have changed :( .. I'll be watching from the tinternet though.

And well done to Fusion Hobbies, Schumacher and every other sponsor for supporting the event! well played.

[Iconic]

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.

[DanB4]

I'm gonna book in on the 15th as that's when I get paid,can you run more than 1 car in the same class heat?..as I've got 3 cars I'd like to run but they are all in the same year group listing...

Can you not drive with your feet like Masami?

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

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 :p

[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.

[gainsy]

Come join the iconic rc group on facebook & ask the same question, sure the guys can find something for you :)
https://www.facebook.com/groups/iconicrc/
Most of them will be out at their clumber park meeting today but they should be able to sort you out this evening

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
Concourse Best In Show

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.
