It will all be good fun when the racing starts. I am going to enable reverse on my esc to see how much it affect the brakes and if it generates extra heat,will try it out tomorrow.

No Mr Christopher, I did not mis-read it. But further down the thread it does say that no one really noticed as no harm was done. BUT, IF (its a big word ..if) I was to ruin someones race because I reversed into them, breaking their car, then it would become a more serious issue, and yes the person with the broken car would moan at me. :cry: Also, it wouldn't be the only class that banned reverse. The Micro section have banned reverse....I know, as I fell foul of the rule when I used it at one of their events. :p Lets stop bickering. The organisers will decide and we will have to abide by the rules that they decide. :):thumbsup: |

Mark,
Just out of interest did you actually have a rule for the RRCI meeting that even mentioned reverse? I know we didn't for Short Course Carnage. If the question hadn't been asked then we wouldn't be having this debate, and rightly or wrongly we would have races with some reversing trucks and some not. Working all this out is all part of a new series I surpose :cry: Chris |
ACTUALLY, thats a good point shaun!!!
if someone knows your truck doesn't have reverse then what is to stop someone purposefully putting you nose first into a hose?...knowing full well that if they have reverse and even end up next to you, then they will get away first? |
I got the feeling that you won't exactly need targets painted on your car for this series Mark... remember, rubbing is racing :p
Easy to spot with a big "R tard" sticker on the roof. When you look at BRCA regs... there is a lot that can be taken for granted, The thing is Mr Christopher... you know and see where we are all coming from |
Do you turn up at a 1/8th off road National and tell them one of there rules stink because they don't run the same rule in 1/10th off road National?
I doubt it! |

17.6 At the Referees‟ discretion, penalties can be incurred for bad driving and/or corner cutting with any one of the following, depending on the severity of the offence: Official Warning, Stop-Go penalty (Nationals Only), 5 or 10 second penalty, 1 lap penalty, disqualification. The Stop-Go penalty area must be well defined and in a position that is practical to operate. so your point was? :woot: |
The first thing you would notice is that they all have bigger cars:thumbsup:
|
If i'm the event referee does that mean i can drive how and where i want if i think its ok for me to do so? :thumbsup:

Technically, that was my point in an earlier post was it not?:woot: Just tell people that if reverse is used then pnalties will be given?:confused: :lol::thumbsup: Lets all let them decide.....then we can argue!! :D |
Quote:
der 8th have been running for years and have a set of established rules, myself and others are questioning the ruling as other meetings have alowed it with no issues! |
yes,but don't reverse into the stop go penalty box.

Just don't tell mark that the "R" stickers to be fitted to the roof of reverse enabled SCT's are fitted to a paving slab!
|
Like I say, lets let them decide first. ;)
|
lol, I'll give you that one mark :p
So, i would also go along with that rule and say that reversing into race traffic would be bad driving...... and the only way to prevent that is....... Yup. you guessed it........ Stop reverse from being used :thumbsup: Jobs a goodun, bobs your uncle Quote:

And as far as I can see, there is only you Mark that is getting your knickers in a twist about this reverse...Just turn up and race with what has been provided for you. Live by the theory that we have at at worksop...If you help organise, plan and put your own sweat and tear's into making it work, then you are in a position to question rules and regulations. If not, turn up and race in what has been provided for you, and be thankfull someone has took there time to make it happen so you can race your shortcourse. |
Fast Eddie,
Rest assured that this will not be an issue at the race events and hopefully stress will be kept to the minimum, a considered decision will be made by the organiser's (me being one of them) and that will be the final answer. When and if we become sanctioned by the BRCA next year if the series takes off then we will abide by their rules and they will have the final decision. To go back to richardj's original comment, your lad won't be banned for having reverse however he will be encouraged not to use it and this may help with his driving skills ( I just wait for the criticism of that statement.) |
cheers taz, I will see you on easter sunday
why dont we all bring an egg and give it to the man/woman on your left and have some fun:thumbsup: |

i know if i hit somone reversing out of a hose on a corner it will do just as much damage (if any) as if i hit it stationary or doing a u turn! any one who want to get my colours in thier head my car truck looks like this :thumbsup: http://www.radioracecar.com/ascx/Bet...3739B350F49DC1 |
I've got an idea, get all the people that want to use reverse and put them all in heats together.

Mark, You have just answered your own question regarding reverse, It states in the rules (as they stand) that the USE of reverse will not be allowed, the same penalties outlined above will be used by the organisers to penalise the use of reverse at their discretion. |

then go read the whole thread and look at twisty and others! |
HAHA....Very funny MR christopher!!!:woot::thumbsup:
Touche!! You can all hit Mr Christophers car because he is sponsored by DREMEL!!! so he will be able to repair it easily!:p ;) :thumbsup: |
Lets just concentrate on the job at hand now...
Turn up on 24th April at Silverstone Buggy Club and blast some trucks around... i'm sure when the racing starts the moaning will stop for the laughing to begin. One thing we have all overlooked in the heat of debate... Mark, you are a bit optimistic in expecting to be using reverse all day to get out of hoses, is that a sorry admission of being rubbish when it comes to SCT battling? :p |

the rule was added 24 hours ago, after it was questioned on here was reverse allowed, until that time there was no rule on reverse, and i for one asumed as it was not there prior then reverse was allowed. |

I can't find any reference to the use of reverse in any other class rules. (and no I haven't read them all). I have never seen a 10th buggy reverse at a BRCA regional for example. That's because it just isn't done as all race speedo's don't (didn't) have reverse. Maybe this will change with the introduction of the RTR Mad Rats and the likes, and next year there will be a rule. |
the micro section have banned reverse. :)

BUT this is a good example, Micro's is reletively new class and has introduced a new rule, not seen in any other class. (Go on correct me again :lol:) |
