Places are selling really quickly guys...booking in forms have been sent to all enquiries thus far. Once you receive your form, fill it out (it is a word document so super simple) email it back and make your paypal payment and you are in!

I hear a rumour that The Gadget Show may be there covering the meeting for T.V

What a day its set to be :) can't wait to meet you all

hehe, one more post Stuart and your count will be 666! do 2 real quick ones and get it out the way! ;-)

Was there not enough interest in shortcourse? Not on the entry form.

What tyres are allowed for a 1/18 short course

short course class at urban x
 

We would have been keen to run a 10th short course class but had very few requests. I understand that this thread had a few people mentioning a truck class but based on the 100 or so people who contacted me directly off all the forum posts we had to choose 10th buggy 2wd and 4wd, if I can collect a minimum of 10 drivers who want to book in and pay this weekend we will modify the schedule to accodate the class :) get pm'ing chaps, the offer is there if you want it?

We would ideally want to run all classes, but it has to be based on demand

Let us know :)

Glad to have you attending John :thumbsup: Its set to be a corker mate..exciting times and positive vibes

Stu, what is the polished surface like? will we get any grip in 2WD with the mini pins?

polished havoc :)
 

As some eagle eyed drivers may have noticed or heard on the grapevine...we think that we will be adding a control tyre to the list for 10th...Schuey mini spikes...we spoke with several lads after walking the venue this afternoon and the polished area is industrial smooth concrete...looks very clean and nice but spikes may well be needed...or go kamikaze and get those pins on anyway :lol:

Our aim is to create a very 'drivable' track but expect a few challenges with dramatic changes in elevation and surface :thumbsup:...it is off-road after all ey folks ;)

:thumbsup::thumbsup::drool:

let's go!!

The track designs are completed and we are really looking forward to starting work on this unique track layout...expect to see dramatic elevation changes, a wicked fast straight and mid corner surface changes just to make our meeting interesting.
