Armageddon MMXII - 1/10 off road 2 day event - 16/17 June - Grass Track

[mattybucks]

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking of putting on a 2 day event possibly 16/17 June

The surface will be Grass with man made features, to make up a track. Classes: 1/10 electric off road, 2wd, 4wd, stadium truck, and short course.

Camping will be available from the Friday evening at the small nominal charge throughout the weekend. With on site food, and drink.

If I can get enough interest then I'll start making arrangements.

Thanks,

Matt

[LewisStrong]

I'd be there, 2&4 by then!

[VintageRacer]

Sounds interesting, a good excuse to get some use out of the tent

[JBL]

I would be very interested in 4wd, just need to know dates first. Grass tracks are just great fun (like the old days) perhaps ill get the classic Avante out and relive my youth.

[learnerdriver]

i presume you are using the school ?
need to talk as may be able to borrow LB hosing if that helps

[mattybucks]

I'm thinking 16/17 June, 2 weeks before the Oswestry national. Good date?

[hazeandfizz]

Count me in Matty, sounds great and loving the old skool grass idea. Book me in for 2wd, stadium and the lunchbox race!

James.

[Jamesk]

That's Le Mans weekend i'm afraid. Have to pass on that if the dates are confirmed.

[AmiSMB]

Oh so young and impressionable :D

I think this race sounds interesting.

[JezT]

Me n Max may be there; Its just that we've done the summer series at Hinckley for the last couple of years and that is Saturday afternoons.

BTW if anyone is interested that is on grass so pop along some time and get some practice in before Matts event

[RogerM]

Sounds good, misses the West Mids regionals too so most likely be there (Adam probably will too if about that weekend)

[Adam F]

I would be in for 2wd/4wd and Lunchboxes if it runs..

Would think Ben, Phil and Matt would be in too..

Only run on grass once, at Hinckley last summer and I loved it. So long as it doesnt clash with anything then count me in! :thumbsup:

Once the Mid South regionals have been released I will confirm a date for the event.

Tyres: Schumacher Minispikes and Ballistic Buggy any compound.

I have a couple of venues for a temporary track lined up but I hope to be able to confirm a permanent venue.:thumbsup:

[mattybucks]

Cost wise - £15 per class per day, £25 for both days, £5 per night camping.

[Collegeboy]

This will bring back memories form my youth at West Drayton. If there is no clashes with regionals (mid south), then count me and my boy in, both 2wd and 4wd.

Cann't beat a weekend under canvas and old school racing.

Bring it on :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[budgio]

Sounds good to me.
I,ll be there. :)

[Jamesk]

My god West Drayton !!! I used to run a Nikko Brat back then. I wonder why there are so little grass tracks now?

jK

[Smartalec]

I'm there of course Matty :thumbsup:

Don't you play it every tuesday night?

[chuckie stella]

I'm there of course Matty :thumbsup:

WE KNOW, you must get bored :p

[chuckie stella]

I think this is a GREAT idea, Matt (not sure about name :woot:), I love the grass stuff. To answer an earlier question, I think there aren't many grass tracks left due to our great predictable weather!

It's not after the film mate!!

I second this, I went to the last meeting at Hinckley last summer and it was a great day. There was a BBQ going, great racing, a VERY relaxed atmosphere and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Perfect place to get some practice on the green stuff! :thumbsup:

[chuckie stella]

It's not after the film mate!!

I know, lol.

Just continue what you've been doing week in, week out including the VERY successful winter series and this promises to be great weekend!!!!!! :)

[RogerM]

I hope so mate, your setting up the track!

If Alex is setting up the track you will need to get busy to build enough jumps in time :woot:

^^^_^_^^^^^_^^^^_^^^^ (and thats just the straight) :thumbsup:

He does love the jumps!

We do try and make it as off road as possible when running the indoor meetings.

[mattybucks]

The Mid South Regional dates are out, and we are clear for the 16 and 17th of June. More details to be released soon, one things for sure it's going to happen!!:thumbsup:

[Collegeboy]

Brill, best dig out the tent and see if I can remember how it goes together. I wish I still had my old Boomerang with pink bodyshell (only can of paint in the shop :lol:) that ran at West Drayton with the biggest spikes around.

Count me and the boy in Matty

[mattybucks]

Just a quick update, we've located a temporary venue in the Milton Keynes area, however we are in the final states of discussions over what could be a permanent venue. We should know more in the next week, once everything is finalised we'll open booking in.

This will be a two day event on grass just two weeks before the Oswestry national, which is also a grass track, hopefully we will be able to attract some of the Uk's finest drivers!

[JamesRumble]

week before the SHRCC regional makes it to tight for me, 9th and 10th and I'd be in.

[coleman758]

I'm up for this, il get a few of the Bury lads to come down and make a weekend of it!

[Gonky]

Looking forward to this... i know how much planning is going on in the background to ensure the weekend is one to remember! :woot::thumbsup:
