Hi David. It is not as easy and as clear cut as that

I'm afraid it may be too late in any case Graham as most 1/10th guys have moved or are moving on now. The DMCC could have been the number 1 off road club in all Ireland, sadly I think that is a long way off now. All the best with Griffeen Valley, sounds like some good racing you guys are having.

We all love a cliffhanger but when is part 2???

You are a naught fellow to tease us so......
Elaborate dear sir so that the common peasant may begin to comprehend the complexity of the Predicament faced by the valiant committee

I'll tidy up this thread later chaps due to loads of complaints!

Thanks Ian

U's have deffinately done something to annoy someone?

Some of us have lives outside rc racing. I'll get a note from my mum next time I miss an event. ;)

Quite possibly one of the most selfish posts I've seen. If you book into a meeting and cannot attend for whatever reason, at least have the common decency to let the organisers know. As has been said, a lot of people put a lot of time and effort into organising meetings, many of whom don't even race. You need to give a bit of courtesy and gratitude to them as without them, you wouldn't be able to race!

Just to clarify something here, the list is only a list of registered association members and not a pre entered list of competitors for a specific event. I am pretty sure that not all on the list actually registered for the event but only those on the list could register.

Its looking like u will need the note from ur mum dude :lol: i didnt think that was selfish if people cant make it for watever reason there is nothing u can do about it,

Your missing the point Aaron

We all have lives outside of RC, just seems to be every time there is a RCCAOI/BRCA round North of the border it's the same 3 or 4 guys from the South that travel up. Why is this? The support the guys from the North gave the South over the last 12-18 months has been unwaivering, yet we have 1 race meeting up here on 1 weekend out of a whole year and 4 guys make the effort? Is it any wonder a lot of people are turning their backs on 1/10 buggy racing now. Some people need to take a long hard look at themselves.

i do agree david that nobody bothers their head coming up but that wacattack guy took a bit of a psyco lik lol :woot:

LOL...The Beastie Boy lyrics from meangombine must be my favourite comment of all time :lol::lol::lol:

Hi all,

Delighted to hear that so many of you are planning to attend the RCCAOI National in Navan, best of luck and see you on Sunday :thumbsup:

Anyone wishing to lend a hand with some final track preparation work - there is a work party meeting between 11am and 2pm on Saturday.... but just to remind you that the track is closed all this week to registered competitors.

Could Mark Penney wrap up the 2wd Modified Championship this Sunday :confused:

Best of luck to all

Very confused by this. (I'm sure I am not the only one.)

This is the first time it has been stated the track is closed to competitors.

Surely for this to be official, the membership must be informed by the RCCAOI section chairman. At the moment it's just a post on a forum.

This didn't happen at the other rounds.
Why can it happen now?

Is this something that is stated in the rules. I don't have the time to read the rules. But as a very long time member of the RCCAOI and holding various committee position in that time. This is the first time I every heard of this being discussed for 1/10 off-road.

It would be helpful for all concerned if the section chairman could show where in the rules it allows for this.



MiCk B. :-)

Hi Mick,

RCCAOI section rules would only apply to hosted meetings.
Why would the RCCAOI rules ever apply to clubs when no meeting is being held?
Regards,

Will

P.S. - Please see http://www.oople.com/forums/showpost...1&postcount=24 you'll note that this was done last year. Also, re: Round 1 of this year, the track was being built/modified on the week up to the round, so was closed by default. And the Ecos Centre in Ballymena for Round 2 is closed to racers every week...... so nothing new here.
I hope you enjoy racing on Sunday and are a participant in restoring enjoyable competition in our sport.

Will,

You are still avoiding the many issues.

Navan: You are the one stating that the track in Navan is off limits.
As I've already asked if this is official then it should be sent out to the membership by the official representative, the RCCAOI 1/10 scale section chairman.
You may not be aware but not every one reads OOple.com (shocking I know.)

Has the Navan club been informed that people have been banned / prevented from using their track?

The post you linked to about the round last year in Lucan.
How do you close off a public park?
A rule that cannot be enforced is not a rule.
(How was this enforced? What proof was there that no-one used the track.)

This year, Round 1, did this happen. Any reference to where the DMCC stated the the track / venue would be closed the week before the national.
Are you 100% there was no regular Thursday night practice evening, the week before the national?
(Again how was this enforced / policed.)

The year, Round 2, the club only has access to the track on pre-definded dates. So the track was not specifically 'off-limits' due to the national round. There was no access to the track regardless of what was happening at the week-end.

Really this is a matter for the section chairman to answer. The questions raised need to be answered by an actual official.

MiCk B. :-)

Hi Mick,

Didn't intend to avoid your questions, and your right I'm not an elected official, just one member trying to help a confused other member - please see detailed answers to questions below

Hope this helps Mick. If you are still confused we'll go through it all on Friday when I call over to you.

Will,

What you've posted has only added to the confusion, it seams the information you are supplying is changing / different each time.

I fail to see how you talking at me will solve anything.

As I have stated a number of time and you have ignored each and every time. It is the RCCAOI section chairman that should be supplying this information to the membership.

MiCk B. :-)

Have you emailed him?

hi will,this post http://www.oople.com/forums/showpost...1&postcount=24 from last year was not by the direction of the rccaoi rep(myself)and could not be enforced by the rccaoi.i took it that this was posted and the threat of punishment where coming from the dmcc of which you where an official.you are not an official of the rccaoi and just to clarify are you an official of the navan club?the tone of your posts would indicate that you are.
there was practice during the week leading up to the first round in the naul a fact you are aware of.no problem with the nnn policy but you should get your facts right or leave the posting of information to the elected officals

Looks like a few showers in the morning, but a dry afternoon for the national...

http://www.accuweather.com/en/ie/nav...210586?hour=57

Hopefully....track seemed to dry very quick last sunday after the shower

best of luck to everyone this weekend hopefully weather will hold up

Not every one heard of this before the nat? :o

good luck to everyone on Sunday. I wont be out as i have something else on but i hope you lads get a great day for racing.
