should'nt it be the other way round see as though bury have had there dates posted for quite some time

paul

the batley sports hall was only available for the dates they've said from what i've heard so they can't change dates, correct me if wrong

march the 1st :confused:

March 1st is a club meet and I understand the hall is only available to 3pm.

Im booking in for this, both classes.. :thumbsup:

Because we will be changing the date for the March Bury meet to 8th March .. because we are good like that..

I hope its appreciated that we will change, plus Bury members WILL be supporting your meet.

As has been said before.. clubs should talk to each other.

I appreciate you only had certain dates to choose at your venue. This is why we published our dates when we did to avoid dates clashing and also why we have published the 2009/2010 dates now so hopefully other clubs will notice this. I have to say Bury is getting quite a following.. another Worksop in the making!

Looking forward to the Supercup now..

Cheers

Nick
:thumbsup:

Great stuff :D Is the 8th March the regional though?

Did you talk to Batley when setting the dates for 09/10 :confused:

Thinking ahead, and not that its much to do me anyway, how about Bury / Batley liaise before setting their summer dates so us racers can then support both clubs with hopefully larger regular meetings?

No probs..

No we didn talk to Batley about 2009/2010 dates, but im sure they can be fine tuned.. (this is why they have been announced so early so hopefully other clubs can work with us :D ) ive already been in touch with Muzzy so i know the dates we have published DONT clash with Worksop..

With regards to a summer series... that sounds like a plan! I would drop Roger (theracecontroller) a pm/email..

Cheers

Nick

:lol::lol::lol:

Is that supposed funny??

If you remember mate you were supposed to get back to our club with some info re: regionals, dates and if we could join and hold one.. and guess what you didnt!?

The 2009/10 dates are provisional dates for the indoor series... as i said can be fine tuned..

Batley as a club have done no meets over this winter up until now, so didnt realise i had to ask your permission?

See other thread please Nick :D

Club info
 

Hi all, just need a bit of information.. im doing the race tomorrow. and travelling far to get there. What time should i be there for? and does anyone have an address for the supercup venue? thanks ;)

Club meetings and the supercup are in the same place http://www.batleybuggyclub.co.uk/maps.html it's the 2nd place on this page, the tennis place.

Just checking you know it's not the supercup tomorrow right?

oops:o got my dates mixed up. lol. was thinking it was tomorrow. so whats on tomorrow then? is it indoors? can we just turn up and enter? is there online booking..

thanks
gurdy

Theres a club meet on tomorrow. It is indoors and you just turn up on the day

oh ok.. what time does everyone normally get there for? when does racing start/finish? and is there a need to bring tables/chairs..?
thanks

Aim to get there around 10 am

As far as I know, we have to be out of the hall by 3pm

Best to bring your own table and chair ;)

thank you.. will discuss with the others im travelling up with.

still looking forward to the supercup on the 15th MARCH :lol:

thank you
gurdy

the supercup will be great ;)

tomorrow and the other club meeting on 1st should be good practice for it and to remember how to get the cars set up for the hall. Must be about 9 months since we last raced there :cry:

Gurdy,

any space in the car with you? I'm not keen on the idea of driving all the way up there in the Mini and it's all I will have available! It's about 45 mins drive north for me to get to you + waht you have to do.

don't know if it has already been covered but what lipo rules is the event running to? do we have to use cells from the 2009 list or not??

sorry if it has already been covered in the thread.

Hopefully the rules are as that, I don't think the saddle Lipo I am buying for the season will be available in time for this meeting, so if its only 2009 cells I'll have to cancel :cry::cry:

Can anyone confirm??

I don't think we want people turning up with 2 motors and AA duracells and dominating the meeting. But using 2008/9 spec cells at the Supercup I have to ask if anyone cares - if they do then we'll just have to have words with them and run 08 cells anyway, because thats all I have also.

Wouldn't worry about it.;)

So do I at the min!

All I have is TP saddle packs that aren't 08 or 09 legal, no sign of legal cells yet! Someone just let me know if it's a problem and I'll head to Bury instead, otherwise all good!

May have already asked this (couldn't find it if so tho!) but is there mains power or do we need to bring 12v batteries? Pretty certain I remember we needed our own tables/chairs last year?

Dave

you'll need your own tables/chairs but mains power is available :thumbsup: it's just run to relaxed regional rules i think as almost nobody has 2009 legal cells and its not a brca sactionaed event so shooudn't be of concern :), don't worry about your tp cells from last year Dave they should be fine to use as long as your car is above the minimum brca legal weight ;) many people were using them at the regional at batley on sunday, so long as you take care when charging etc

Just so people know, Steve has asked me to bring the NE scales and box, so your car must be atleast minimum weight (and the scales were checked last week), and the right size to fit in the box.

I'd have thought any hard cased lipo would be fine though.

G

Yeah, I don't represent the club but any hard cased Lipo should be fine.

So using TP3200 lipo in an X6, how much weight should I be using?
Not got any scales here.

You probably wont need any Tel, im sure mine was ok with no weight added when using the 3200

Weight was catching a lot of people out last Sunday..... be careful.

The scales will be there for people to check their cars as soon as I get there (~8am).

G

what happens for the truck class? Think there abit big for the box and don't know of any minimum weight for them? :woot:

Tel, need or should?

The team is working round a front rear weight distribution of 35%/65% so I'd weight it up and over this. I have a set of scales and a board to do this easily. Come see me on Sunday morning with your car and some weights!

Trucks are 1700g BRCA/ROAR, 1770g EFRA I think Mike :)

Cheers Dan, Will do. :thumbsup:

We have never scrutineered at the supercup in previous years, but just relied on people to be sensible and sportsmanlike.
I hope this will continue this year also, (especially as I have no intention of sitting half the day weighing and measuring other peoples cars;):lol:)

OK John, but I have been asked to bring the box and scales...... that's all I'm saying.

Maybe you guys should talk together in private about such matters? :confused::confused:

I agree it was never really and issue in the past with everyone running cells, but we had a lot of underweight cars last Sunday with lipo...... :o

G

Still doors open at 7.30, practice at 8 as per original form? Venue is the indoor one off the wbesite yeah?

When will booking in close?? may travel up on the morning and any sleep time is appreciated!!
