It is a massive clash of the various regions, a chance to be part of a really good race meeting:thumbsup:
Last years was on astro at Silverstone.....mega grip roll. Most of us dremmelled down tyres to near slicks:lol:

This years is at coventry, on grass.

I will be heading up there. Be good for a few East of England types as we were massively under represented last year.

[HarlowS]

You will be on Astro and Grass at Cov this year :)

Cheers Phil :)

Yes, and that link does show both clubs and addresses

[Benh]

Firstly - ooops - made a boo boo on the links, they have been updated - a quick bit of the copy and paste i believe was the culprit. For EoE drivers - go to www.brca-eoe.co.uk (http://www.brca-eoe.co.uk) Your entries need to go through your regional rep. ;)

We all get a grade, an F grade. At the local regional level, like the one you're in at the moment, you can earn anything up to an F2. If you go off to the nationals, you can earn up to an F1.

The likes of us mere mortals going to a National and winning it is pie in the sky, even F2's will struggle. So the F2's get their shot at winning a day at the dedicated F2 champs and we get our shot at the F3,4'5's.

The F2's, Juniors and Veterans competitions are all on the same day for obvious reasons.

The competition is split over 2 days, Saturday for 2WD, and Sunday for 4WD. You can do both if you choose of just one. Up to you.

F3,4,5's (The one I am interested in for the region)
Of all the people who have competed in the EoE regionals this year, everyone is an F5: - except, Jonathan Brown - F1, Simon Watson - F3 and Carl Dufton - F4. Dave Evans I think is F4 too if not F5. Which means only Jonathan can't enter.

Over 100 drivers compete to see who's the best driver. But also, our points are accumulated and we get to see which the best region is.

Normally the EoE get's a right royal stuffing and I really hope that we can gather a group of drivers and climb a couple of rungs.

We get a guaranteed 15 spots. This is to fill 5 x F3, 5 x F4 and 5 x F5. But Simon is our only F3 and Carl is our only F4 (That's if they want to go!) That leaves 13 spots for F5 drivers.

Because not all the spaces are taken up by all the regions, we might get more than 15 spots so it's always worth registering. ;)

It is a very very well organised event and always good fun as there is strange sense of comradery amongst your regions drivers, but at the same time, you still want to kick their backsides - wooden spoons are particularly heavy! I know, I carried it last year.:thumbdown::lol:

Last years regions results from the F3,4,5's at Silverstone. That's right Silverstone! The same Silverstone on our LOCAL NEWS! and we were beaten by a region who's drivers live closer to NORWAY than Silverstone.

Combined results
Mid West 217
South East 294
N. East 307
Mid East 323
Mid South 390
N. West 986
Scotland 1003
Wales 1285
East England 1391
S. West 1358

cheers for the info

Ben, I'm an F2 as I didin't complete enough rounds of the national series last year.

Having taken part in both events in the past at different venues I can say that they are a great experience. In the past quite a few of the countries top drivers have attended to help out with car setup and the like.

Lewis for these meetings your best off travelling on the friday and B&B it for a couple of nights or if you have a tent or caravan you can turn up on the friday afternoon / evening and camp for the weekend, normally a small fee applies to this but it saves the travelling in the morning. I used to do the Coventry winter series, and it's a nice easy track to get to and well worth going if you can.

If memory serves me right these meetings start booking in from around 7:30am. with practice in heat order starting at 8am.

Oops! So you are. I forgot the .9 was after the 1 ;) So to recap......

1 x F2 - Jonathan Brown
5 x F3's - But none of which have competed in the EoE in the last couple of years at least.
4 x F4's - (3 x competed) Ian Alcock, Dave Evans, John Myall

Two entries received already.........:)

[Dufty07]

Hi ben, Me n simon r definitely goin, but do we enter as eoe or mid east?:eh?:

[Benh]

East of England ;)

Two reasons
1/ your residential location and
2/ your running in the eoe regional

Oh and 3, I would say that you're more likely (probably definite) to get a ticket through the eoe.:thumbsup:

But most importantly! 4/ We need your points. :D

Are you and Simon running 2 and 4. Mr Parry is considering running both but was unsure if he'd have anyone to play with on Saturday.

[SimonW]

We shall be rockin' it up all weekend m8, If n e 1 is interested there is a regional on the 24th of July at Eastrax it's Mideast but you can run in the open non-points scoring heats, good practice for the astro track.

[B4 Sloth]

Mr Parry is considering running both but was unsure if he'd have anyone to play with on Saturday.

Almost definately going to do both, probably going to camp up there, stick my old fishing bivvy on the inside of the turn two overnight in a hypnotic, learn the track in my sleep, way:lol:

Need to get another esc though, do not want to be faffing about with that malarky;)

[JohnM]

Ben, can you bring some entry forms with you to the regional. my printer is up the swanny again.

Put a hoilday request in for the F3,4,5s date, waiting to find out for sure, but have been told it should be ok, just need the wife to let me go then:lol:

[Benh]

The printer is now whirring as I type..........

See at the weekend:thumbsup:

[Dufty07]

Me n Simon will bring our app. forms for the 345's with us on sunday:thumbsup:

We are building up a nice list of "i want ins" but we are falling a little short on actual form entries.

Carl Dufton is top man at the mo, as he has not only put his form in but also a cheque.

Simon Watson – 2WD/4WD
Carl Dufton – 2WD/4WD F/P
Steve Parry - 2WD/4WD
Ben Hubbard - 4WD F/P
Lee Flynn - 4WD F
Paul Newman - 4WD

[JohnM]

There's a very, very good chance I'll be doing 4wd Ben, got the ok for time off from work, just need the ok from her who controls the wallet now.

Left the entry form on her desk as a subtle little hint:thumbsup:

Excellent! :D

I'll forge some nice DHL headed paper demanding your attendance at the inaugural annual logistics conference to be held in Coventry. Signed by John Pearce! :lol:

In for a penny John, in for a pound. I think you need to show Mrs M that your investments get used and you get your monies worth.....loosely translated into
"MYALLY DO 2WD AS WELL, YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE":p

[JohnM]

"MYALLY DO 2WD AS WELL, YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE":p

Nope, the 2wd is on astro, I hate the stuff;) It's the reason I'm not going to do the old bugger's class a couple of weeks earlier at Silverstone.

[SimonW]

Whats up John? Thumbs not fast enough for you? You could come to Eastrax with us on the 24th there is a Mid East regional so you can compare your speed to them lot and get some well needed astro running in the open class.

[JohnM]

No they're not fast enough anymore, getting slower the older I get too:blush:

Really don't want to go to Eastrax, don't want to break the car:lol:

[racingdwarf]

have to admit I'm not so keen on the funny grass...It's just not right:lol:

Thomas wants to go tho,i may do to.... best get some more spairs in

[SimonW]

It's not a car killer like it used to be, the triples at the back are now a jump onto a table and that dodgy corner with a berm in the middle of it has been flattened, the track is a stunner now with a different layout than before. Check out me-or for pics

[racingdwarf]

Yer, I had a look at it last month when I was at the 8th national on the dirt track.

best bit is the concreat has gone:thumbsup:

[Dufty07]

I promise to go easy on u jon if u do 2wd:D:D:D

[SimonW]

You what Dave? I was on about Eastrax!

[JohnM]

I promise to go easy on u jon if u do 2wd:D:D:D

That's the real reason I'm only doing 4wd, still having the nightmares from when you beat me in 2wd at Colchester:lol:

[racingdwarf]

You what Dave? I was on about Eastrax!


Ahhhhh:wub

[Benh]

Just to warn everyone - I am going to keep banging on about this!:D

[racingdwarf]

yer must get this sorted:blush:

Should be me and thamas for 2wd:thumbsup:
not sure on 4wd-don't even own one at the min...unless an optima counts:eh?:

[No. 46]

Dave, why don't you run 2wd in 4wd, shouldn't be that far off the pace especially as its on grass

[Benh]

Thomas is welcome to run my LRP. Got good gear in it. Robitronic 4600 cells, Novak GTB, 6.5 motor. Losi shocks on there so you can make quick and easy adjustments. On top of that, it can be used with 40Mhz or 2.4 Spektrum.

Seeing how well he drives - I'll be more than happy for him to run it. (oh yeah, it's got geared diffs - making life in the pits a lot easier!)

It's a bloody good car and pretty tough too! And cheap; so non of that, "oh but what if i break something". I really wouldn't care and we'll just rob Georges one for spares. ;) (George doesn't know this yet)

Besides, if Thomas finishes high with it, I can use that as a USP when i come to sell it the following week! :thumbsup:

[racingdwarf]

Ben...your talking to a man who ran a madmonkey in an Afinal:lol:. Not going to say it's not good enough, if we keep the speed tame he will prob be quite good with it, only thing is he would want a durango all the way home

[Chesty]

Can someone just confirm (its not clear from the BRCA website)...

2wd is saturday 17th & 4wd is sunday 18th?

Says both are saturday:confused:

[Disco-Panda]

noo your correct 2wd is on saturday and 4wd is on the sunday

[Benh]

john M and George,

2wd.....go on, i have bowed to peer group pressure.;)

Do it:thumbsup:

[Benh]

Sorry fella. The entries went in on the 31st August and is now closed.

Rumour has it, that with a "supplementary entry fee" of £120 per person you can get on to the late booking list. The £120* needs to go through you regional rep and whilst it might increase the chance, it doesn't guarantee the spot.



*£120 Supplementary fee is subject to regional commissions, taxes and charges. Depending on transfer schedules as little 0% may be used to increase late booking entries. All regional profits made form "supplementary fees" will be used to improve the wellbeing of the regional representative at the time of receipt.
