Just remember the rule book states the lap should be at least 130m long. I think Oz's was only about 20m longer than that, so not too big IMHO. ;)

G

14.5 At all National events, tracks will be a minimum of 3 metres wide and 100 metres in length.
14.6 At Sanctioned events, other than Nationals, tracks must be a minimum of 2.4 metres wide.
14.7 The straight for starting finals, will be a minimum of 20 metres long, with no obstructions, including any form of jump, sudden rise or fall.

for once i read the BRCA book :):)

But was that the 2008 book? It has changed this year, we read it on Saturday ;)

The 2008 .pdf is not on the website.

G

bet that was a fun read :):)

:lol::lol: It was just when someone refered to the Oz track being too long at ~150m, Tom Cockerill said the rule had changed to 130m, Mike Riley swore it was 100m, my book was in my bag - not as sad as it first sounded. I didn't know the rule number or anything like some do..... :woot:

G

The Oz track didnt seem that long to be honest, i felt it was about right.

What was the outcome of the question about how many BRCA sections there were? was it 12 or 13?

13: http://www.brca.org
look down the side.
O and i was right on the top gear car, and the rubix cube, ahem :)

Didnt the rule book only have 12 though?

We counted them and still got it wrong :lol:

Thats what beer does mate lol.

I am now racing 2WD :)

Do we have any pictures of the field we're racing on? Any clues to what to expect? is there a bar?

they will be using better jumps and the banking on the right side of the field, food will be available all day, not to sure on the bar though.

Chris, PM me if you got any front Losi 4wd wheels please.

Looks good, just got to pray to Zod for the weather to be good.. Will bring own beer.

Are we using the same rostrum? I thought it had to be covered for Nationals?

I can't believe you guys are onto the 3rd National already... they're passing so quickly!

As I am a late entry I did not get the entry pack. Can I pitch a tent? Do I need to pre-book camping?

Neil

Brian Harris is the main MC, and I will be filling in when he is having a break:thumbsup:this is at his request as well!!!!!!!!

oops, haha

Bloody english weather!:thumbdown:

I've just finished stripping the X-6 after a wet 'half' day of racing.:cry::(

Why don't we just race indoors all year round.?:(

Really fed up with the weather lately when its race days.

I think my S4 has been rebuilt 4 or 5 times this year so far due to the wet meetings :(
I have to admit though it is quite fun doing the actual racing in the mud on tractor tyres at regionals lol.

I cant find my passport :o

Or a boat....:woot:

We never get English weather here in Wales, Welsh rain always seems much wetter than English rain:lol:

It's OK Lee, just tell them you know Millzy, he's like the godfather on this side of the big bridge;)
