View Full Version : East of England 1:10 Off Road Regional Information/Dates
All the information is here
www.brca-eoe.co.uk (http://www.brca-eoe.co.uk)
After an "organic" development, it appears like things are falling into place. More updates and the site is a bit nicer to look at with the pages more organised. Navigation should be simpler and the processes explained a bit better. We have had our 1st brca-eoe.co.uk driver referral. Sad as this may seem, it was quite an exciting moment. (He should be getting in touch with Southend RCCC or Basildon (if they are still running) now or shortly):thumbsup:
Temporarily there is an oOple vid linked. If you have a better one, or preferably EoE related, get in touch and send the link!
I for one and really looking forward to this years racing!

Well long time no see guys, except 4 u ben ( u jammy git) hows d cougar goin!!! As u may have seen, me n simon r lookin to do the eoe regionals again this year.But havin a bit of trouble bookin in(damn ps3). Can u put me down for all the dates, both classes please. Do I have to pre pay? lookin to do maritime 2wd in a couple of weeks, and a couple of the mid-east regionals just 4 fun though. C U TRACKSIDE!!!!:D
Not necessary on this round, but will have to enforce it on the later rounds as it becomes a little more complicated (only for me). All race fees paid in advance are refundable too, up to 7 days before the race day.(unless, of course, the individual doesn't turn up).
Also, I will be setting up a BRCA-EoE account and dedicated BRCA-EoE paypal address. That way, at the end of the season, whoever gets the nod for 2012 will have the email address, web log-ins etc transferred to them. I am sure people will feel more comfortable advance paying to a dedicated account, rather than Benjamins-RC Paypal funds.com! :lol:
Anyway.....I digress.......great to hear your doing the EoE this year!:thumbsup:
Hoping to get a few drivers in for it and it’s looking promising at the early stages. I doubt will set any records, but we could have some bloody good battles in both classes. My Cougar will be making a run out in the future (when i get time to put it together). I think John Miller will be called upon to emblazon the 380 with orange background. A lucky number!:D

Your right there Dave, I don't think either of Simon or I will come close in 2wd, that's between you and George.
4wd, I might get in the top 3, behind George and Ben H, Simon needs to buy some proper cars first:p
Looking to go on a recruitment mission at the next Coastal meeting. Although, having said that, there's a few already interested, just getting them to sign up officially now ;)
As for the above! Brilliant. Nothing like a bit of pre-race sledging to ensure the cars receive a little TLC and polish:thumbsup: (I hear Zipper and Chesty's cars being stripped and rebuilt as I type!:lol:)

I sure i will corrected if i am wrong but i think that it is done on your age at the start of the calendar year, if you were 15 on 1st your a junior, 16 your a senior.
George is spot on.
If you turned 16 in 2011 you're still a junior. 16 on or before the 31st Dec 2010, you're a senior!;)
I am really looking forward to it. Just need some time to put the ol' Cougar together!

yes i did turn 16 this year so i count as a junior. i will book in on the first coastal meeting this weekend.
is there any news on ARC's new track? do you have a back up ben if they are unable to build a track ready.
many thanks see you next meeting
lewis
ARC is an uncertainty at the moment, but they are very very motivated to get the new track up and operational as quickly as possible.
There are other tracks which are being worked on at the moment, just waiting to hear back.;) Whatever happens at ARC, the series will continue. Even if it means an invasion/occupation at one track or another lol!
As soon as I know anything, I'll post up

I think Ben's Cougar is in much the same condition as my Losi 22, still in the box it came in:lol:
Saw the engraving peeps this morning! Your timing was perfect. However, they charge per letter, so I had to go with ben for both titles. :lol:
Anyone wondering who the winners are in a recession, need look no further than people with short names in rare 'pence per letter' scenarios :lol:
Mr D, i am afraid that John hit the proverbial nail on the head. A certain moggy is still locked in it's box waiting for some build time. I do however, now have all the electrics to drop in.:thumbsup:

Just slow me down a bit on very steep ski slope style hills.........:thumbsup:

If they do charge by the letter i better not try and win it, it would bankrupt the region:p
The good news is that the provisional numbers for Round 1 is looking good. The bad news is that many haven't actually booked in yet.
Focusing on the good and not that some people are adverse to a pre-booking system:lol: It appears that round 1 has the potential of being a relative success. As one for not overselling something, I would like to say, it's going to be bloody awesome!!! So get booked in, oil the shocks, polish the shells and be here......

I raced at Coastal yesterday and have to say I am feeling really positive about the regional in a couple of weeks. There was a good turn out of off-road drivers yesterday including some new faces who really enjoyed it.
They unveiled their new table top jump yesterday, and it made the racing much more interesting... you cant have an off-road track without some good jumps in my mind!
So roll on the 10th, and here's hoping I can cause an upset.... and I dont mean by crashing into someone! :woot:

Why dont people bother to book in online? it makes so much sense and also has the added effect of promoting the fact that the series is worth doing!

Great days racing yesterday, really busy races which were all fast and furious.
The track will be much the same for the regional, might be a few different sections but the general layout will be the same
Why dont people bother to book in online? it makes so much sense and also has the added effect of promoting the fact that the series is worth doing!
I think (athough don't treat this as gospel). Most are quite new to it all. Others are restricted by other commitments like rugrats and work and can't make plans too far in advance.
Hopefully, with fingers crossed a reasonable turnout, a nicely thought out track (no pressure George!:lol:) and some close racing, it should elevate the buzz for round 2!:thumbsup:
I'll make sure I am about Saturday Mr F, to give you hand with the track. Now did we say that we were going to publish a short straight and stick a 4 mile one on or publish a long straight and put a short one in?:lol:

Erm:blush: oops......
I was updating it, and saved the wrong file, which lost the entry list. During the rebuild, (going through the submissions) I missed your name:blush:. A system is only as good as its administrators.:lol:
Refresh your cookies and your name will re-appear! ;) Also - It's no good on Iphones. I have tried, it. Ok for the front page and getting some dates, but the rest is poor.
Dave, if you have problems with the site, please drop me the following for anyone who your entering. (Simon is spot on though. Just a flash update and you'll get on ok)
Name:
BRCA Number:
Class: 2WD/4WD or Both

I did think it was some underhand tactics by Benny as well, George's name will be the next to go missing:lol:
Steve, you won't belive this, but Ben's Cougar is finished, within a year of getting it to:woot:
I posted some silly bloody reply to this ages ago. But between typing it and posting it I must have been logged out. Sidetracked doing important things like erm...... ordering rc parts.
The Cougar is built and is ready. It's problem is the shell. I couldn't get it sprayed in time for this weekend. A certain Mr Miller is a very very popular person for spraying and has a >2 week lead time. SO I am off to spread malicious rumours about his work so I dont have to wait again:lol:
Meanwhile - we have some new cars making an appearance: 2011 spec cougars, at least 2 x Losi 22's, and a nice car with a marmite shell, the Vega.
Anyone bringing an AE 4.1?
