Coventry is more for 1/8th really so wide, fast, flat and with big jumps

Eeek and I'm running a XXR Kinwald for 2WD :cry:

If you've not seen or been to CMCC since the astro track has been changed, here's a video I took on my phone at one of the thursday night club meets :thumbsup:

is there any recent pics of the grass track or is the pic on first page the most recent better still is there any recent vids.

I haven't got anything of the grass track, I don't think it's changed though. I had heard that the triple won't be in use if it's still there because of the new rostrum position. Saying that I've not been there for a few months now, so it could have changed.......

is it me or is the rear of the track further away than it used to be? is it in the same time zone?

Whats the astro like grip wise? high, med or low ?

is the camping site close by the tracks (ie pit area) ?

Yes the back part of the track is slightly further away! The main straight is now where the old rostrum and pit lane used to be. The new rostrum location has been moved slightly into the grass track covering the really bumpy section and man hole.

Personally I think there is more grip as they have used new astro turf. It's not as high grip as silverstone in my opinion though.

Well i'm nothing to do with CMCC, so I could be wrong, but I'd guess it would be behind the dirt track (to the left of the grass track if you're stood on the rostrum).

I have been asked a pertinent question --

What time does booking-in open on Saturday (and Sunday)?

And the expected time for practice to kick off too.


As far as predictions - I hope Charlie is right :thumbsup: We are looking to stuff a couple of drivers up near the top. If we don't, we'll have fun trying!

Booking in will open at 07:15 and Practice in heat order at 08:00,

Stuart.

Thanks Stuart - I'll pass it on

Your wrong the astroturf track has not long been relayed, and had a fair few new features added, so there has been none of this practised on again and again.

Oh that's good then, there will still be 3 or 4 locals in the A, bring it on I say, you doing it Brian?
Why are people so bloody defensive? Makes me think that they are covering up something!

im with neil oliver the track at the back section does look a long way off

Binos to be packed then - lol

Hi all Dude from CMCC
Just returned from racing in the shortcourse nats in the wind, Fun!
The new layout on the Astro has made more options for 1/10th circuits and Yes the back straight is further away , the planned layout does not include the back straight.
The Video clip was still work in progress but does give you an idea of the new sections.
Grip is higher than the old astro turf.
Camping is trackside on our grass pitting area between the grass and dirt track.

Me, Mark and hopefully Lee will be going mate. We'll see you early doors Saturday :thumbsup:.

thanks for th info:thumbsup:


trekkker

At least you kept quiet about the 40 second lap times ;)

Thank you for the info :)

Great will see you Sat morn :)

As your commentator for the weekend (alongside Yardy providing Sleigh or DC don't turn up) I'm looking for some 'information' about the racers. The F3,4,5 finals can be hard to commentate on due to alot of the drivers coming along to their only National of the year.

If you want any special mentions, stories or general banter (good clean fun, not over the top banter) then pop over and see me. I promise not to put drivers off, it's not what we're there for, but instead we will try to add to what will be a throughly enjoyable weekend for all at a great Mid West venue

PS: Those going to win?

my eyesight is not what it used to be - not using the back straight is welcome.. I could not see it when the rostrum was further forward :thumbsup:

Looking forward to the weekend.

Arrr so hope I get in, gona be superb, just a shame I'm working Sat and driving up Sunday :(
Looking forward to seeing some superb close driving guys.

Think Dan at pitstop is goin to be there.

Got a change of PT number etc. who do i need to contact for this?

contact stuart whyman via the BRCA site, or tell him on the day during booking in.

Its looking a bit windy for the weekend :)

I'll make sure I pack the ballistics then, and if those wind figures are correct and sail for the 511.

Hi All just to let you know my shop Pitside will be there..

Tons of ballistics and yellow minis, cut stags and staggers etc..
