BRCA Mid South 4wd regional at DMS (Sunday 19th August)

[Darren Boyle]

BRCA Mid South 4wd Regional - round 5
DMS Model Car Club - Watford - Sunday 19th August



Venue
Our venue for next sunday is our usual place - Parmiters Sports Centre, Thomas Parmiter School, High Elms Lane, Watford, Herts, WD25 0JU



Please be aware that the postcode is for the school, the entrance for the Sports Centre is approx 50 yards before this further down the lane.



Times
The Sports Centre will open at 8am (please dont arrive earlier since you will NOT get in and you will only upset the local residents), and since there are no tents/ez ups/gazebos to erect, a nice lay in bed for you all!!! We are going to run some open practice in slots of 4 minute sessions (then 10 people off, 10 more on etc) followed by 1 round of timed practice in heats also (as per our 2wd regional that has now been adopted by most clubs in the region too ).



Cost and Booking In
The cost to race for those who are pre-booked is £10, booking in on the day will be available at the cost of £15. The open classes (2wd buggies, Trucks/SC's and Micros - if enough interest) are all £5 to race pre-booked - £10 on the day. All booking in is on the DMS Results website here - www.dmsresults.co.uk there is still several days left to get booked in.



Facilities and Track
The track is an indoor track consisting of 80% carpet and 20% slippery floor, various man made jumps, bumps and obstacles included.


Pitting space will be ample (please bring your own table and chair) although the predicted entry is lower than 2wd, we will still need to be sensible when setting up their tables etc, please do NOT be offended if I or any of our team come up and ask you to move up or closer to others in the morning if you are taking up more space than is really required, we will be looking to direct people when you arrive in the morning. Limited 240V power outlets (please bring your own extension leads) Any 12 volt batteries, in a leak proof contianer please..



We have arranged with "Chubbys" (the caterer at our earlier 2wd round, Stotfold national and Area 51 meetings) to come all the way down and provide us all with hot and cold food and drinks, they will be on site and ready to go from 8am, please support them well to justify the long journey they are making to come and support this meeting. As a result, we will not be allowing any "hot" food purchased from elsewhere to be consumed within the hall, if you choose to go to MacD's or similiar (not sure why you would) then please eat it while you are there also.


Most popular tires are Schumacher Yellow Minipins front and rear, although Mini Spikes can work (Staggers are used by several 2wd's on the front). No restriction on tyres except for no foams or additive.



Our full DMS trackside spares shop will be present for all your needs, if there is anything you need in particular, then please call or email by close of busines friday and we will bring it along for you.



As per BRCA rules, all LIPO batteries being charged MUST be inside a recognised LIPO sack (or similiar), anyone found not using one will be asked to leave (you have been warned)...



PT's must be used (no handout transponders will be available on the day)



Trophies will be awarded for overall TQ and first place in all 4wd finals (BRCA regional class) - there are no trophies for the open classes

Spaces still available to pre-book for those who not yet entered.........

Also, just to add, several people came up to me at the Silverstone national and mentioned they would either like to book in, change their entry from one class to another, or withdraw. To be sure that I have not forgotten anyone, PLEASE either delete or add your entry via the online booking in system, for those who dont have access (or have lost/"cant be bothered to find" their entry confirmation email) to click the "cancellation link", then please respond to this thread, to ensure I get it all correctly sorted for you.

Hi Tony,

Yeah, I do recall speaking to Chris about it on Saturday, I said I would delete his 2wd entry (which I have just done) and then he will re-book Elliot into 4wd when he is back form Austria. I have done Kev and also recall Timbers told me he could not make it too so he is done, Ash Wiffen said he was booking in (which he now has) also. Those are all i can remember, but there were more I am sure.......

I would have loved to come but its a little far from Germany. I'm afaraid I'm one of those that deleted the email to cancel my booking. I do intend on visiting you guys when I'm next in the UK. I hope all goes well at the regional.
