[mattybucks]

Hi Guys,

Do any of you vintage lovers fancy dusting off your old car/s for some vintage racing action at the Armageddon meeting?

[gainsy]

Come on guys get them hotshots/procats etc out for a great days racing

Cool. Can I race my Procat?

You can.

I think the only rule is the car has to have been released pre 2002?

[kaszal]

Ah, but how much of the car has to be released before 2002 :eh?:

I'm afraid many of the components on my car would fail this criteria :lol:

I think the rule should be up to 94/95 as any further it will be very unfair.

Have to agree, 94/95 sounds about right

[kaszal]

Good, Procat's still in then.

Isn't the xx4 a very good vintage 4wd racer... but didn't Losi re-release it in the early 2000s? Those beat me all the time at Stotfold :(

[DerbyDan]

Damn.... this is the same weekend as the Ardent 24hr :( Would have been up for this with a modern buggy or a vintage.

I'm with Welshy40 - you've got to have the cut-off around 93/94 to eliminate cars like the Losi DoubleX... which to be honest would be just as competitive as any modern buggy out there.

[mattybucks]

Yeah i'm happy with that 94/95 it is.

[imull]

Are you allowing brushless and lipo? I still run SCRCs and brushed in my Procat, which might not be that competitive :lol:

It will introduce modern racers to the statements 'dumping' and 'I think the brush is sticking' :thumbsup:

I think we'll allow brushless and lipo's however a award will be given for car that has period electronics.

I will update the website tonight to allow a vintage class, so you can all book in should you want to.

:lol: Dumping SCRs! Been there, done that (at the Hertford Corn Exchange club)

How about re-release cars like the 07 Hotshots?

Re-releases are fine

[Stretch]

Hmm... the ProCAT still has it's 1989 NOSRAM Exterminator Pro fitted, but I got rid of the remains of its last motor some time ago...

[igbandy]

If the vintage racing is on the Sunday only, then I will make the effort to be out with my vintage Schumacher`s and Losi`s.


I will run brushed motor`s with Lipo`s :wub

[Dazzieboy]

Wonder if I could blag an entry in this as a fathers day present? Would this constitute spending time with the kids if I made it a family day out?;)

[Cobra]

Hi, Whats the procedure for booking in for the vintage race and will it be split 2 & 4wd, just got to decide which car to run. cheers

[Dazzieboy]

Is there a closing date for entries? And would I need a personal transponder?

Thanks
Darren

Hi guys,

I've now adjusted the website to include vintage classes on the Sunday. Four rounds and a final, with trophies for the top three in each final.
