We now have a rostrum sorted thanks to Mr. Stewart:thumbsup:

I will be collecting the trailer and heading over to Seaham for 11.00 on Saturday morning to load all the track markings and hope to be up to Stannington for 12.30ish so anyone who can lend a hand at either end that's the times we should be there. Thanks to everyone who's volunteered so far.. The more the merrier :)

Really looking forward to the weekend now the rostrum is sorted and have some good ideas for the track, no need to worry about the weather thanks to the roof:thumbsup:

See you at the weekend

Jeff may struggle to get to seaham but will deffo be up at stannington 12.30 - 1ish

Yep looking forward to it, 1st regional n'all that :thumbsup: see ya guys there :)

Format of racing for the day
 

Hi, As this will be the first time for the NE region when both 2WD & 4WD will take place on the same day (I think). What will be the format for the racing, will both classes be run at the same time or one after another. Will their be a different track for both classes.

I do not think anyone as mentioned the above but if I missed it sorry.

Pretty sure it will run one class then the next class, e.g. 2wd then 4wd, on same track.

You are correct - I believe this will be the first time the answer has been in print.

Both classes will run on the same track concurrently - i.e all Rnd1 2wd qualifiers followed by Rnd1 4wd etc etc with the finals run the same at the end of the day, all on the same track.

This is perhaps one of the downsides, or upside depending how you look at it, but single day events for both classes was a popular request in 2010.

Well I appreciate the organisation that you and Jeff have had to do so if we have to race both classes the same day then so be it, could be worse, we might not have had any regionals this year. Can't bloody wait, and I can't stress how important it is to do the regional series, a few know my position regarding national entries!! Doh!

I think its going to be tougher event than many expect it to be this weekend........ unfamiliar surface might throw up a few suprises. I cant do worse than last year with my 2WD though... B4 comeback for Stanington :thumbsup:

:( doesnt sound good to me, being a beginner running a B4 really struggling for grip as i just keep spinning as soon as i throttle it, ran at seaham on sunday and newcastle tyne met last night with mini spike 2's front and rear.............need some help setting buggy up properly as ive only ever used 4wd cars before when bashing :(

Can I borrow that brass piece of s**t off your X6 then Chris? 

Booked in tonight. :thumbsup:

Had to use firefox as IE9 wouldn't play:confused:

Just need to hook up to your battery on the day Craig ;)

Yeah.... well, Im going to try the X-6 in practice, if I dont run it, butcher it. :thumbsup:

Youll be fine.... it's the slippiest regional, but more grip than any of the club meetings you just described.

Give me a shout, and Ill have a look at your B4, there'll be loads of advice available on the day from the friendly folk... and some of it might be right :woot:

Just don't let him glue your tyres on :woot:

Was my first race day in 15+ years at seaham on sunday dex(i think i may have rubbed you a few times) but am still well up for sunday. Mini spikes is what you'll need and you'll have loads more grip

For those that haven't been before here's a taster of the indoor venue. This one's 4wd, couldn't find 2wd.

Im never going to live this down am I :cry:

Live Streaming Video from the event will hopefully be up and running on Sunday.
Looking at the mobile broadband coverage map it should be OK.
But if it goes down it'll have to wait, racing the cars comes first :thumbsup:

Link in my signature line ;).

Drivers briefing will now officially include "Tyre glue tips"

(please note this is just a little dig at someone and not an official announcement! :woot: )

Health & Saftey gone MAD then :woot:

Always were saftey specs when gluing tyres:thumbsup:

I did hear a story not long back were someone put SG some tyres to rims. Once glue was on but dry they tried to adjust the bead to rim and then it popped into place on the rim squirting SG into the drivers eyes.:o

... yeah, always use Safety glasses when gluing... Niel, can you get me some better SGs, saying as your always taking the p*#@ out of mine.....

all fun :woot: were you driving the blue losi 22 ??? :D

Will part worn full spikes be OK on this surface on a B4? I thought i had minipins but just realised i've only got full spikes. Anyone know if there will be a shop attending

am sure Pete from York will be attending with his shop :thumbsup:

yup thats me :thumbsup:

Weather forecast is rain for Sunday. What tyres are best when it rains???

tyres
 

Yokomo TR32's ?:D

I've got some jconcepts tyres to use that are awesome, got some spares if anybody else wants to be in the A final??

For extra grip am racing me hover craft...

Isnt it indoors??

We are just messing Wayne...it's inside and everybody will be mostly running yellow mini spikes

Was getting a bit confused for a moment!! :woot:

We are just messing Wayne...it's inside and everybody will be mostly running yellow mini spikes

Thanks for confirming twice :thumbsup:

its his stutter :D

I've tried full spikes in the past on 4wd and they were ok when the surface was still loose but once the racing line was cleared they were not much use.. Yellow mini spikes seemed the best all rounders..

Peter from Castle Models told me he would be there on Sunday.

remind me how much per class to enter please?

and how to pay,

paypal?
credit card?
cheque?
postal order?
or

Im sure Cash will be fine on the day
