Surrey & Hants BRCA Mid South 2wd Regional 27th May 2012 Info
 

Track address is: Samual Cody Sports College, Ballantyne Road, Farnborough, Hampshire GU14 8SN.

Please see this PDF to give first timers an idea of the venue and layout: http://www.shrccc.co.uk/surrey%20and...b%20layout.pdf

Phone number on the day for late arrivals is 07795 260571. Please send a text rather than call :D

Due to the nature of the site, no access is allowed before 7.00am. The track and pit space are inside a locked compound.

The committee will enter the compound and surrounding paddock pitting area at 7.00am and prepare for general opening at 7.15am. Committee members will be manning the gates to prevent access until the club officials are ready for the venue to accept racers. If you wish to form an que you are more than welcome to do so with your gazebo's and tables/chairs at the track entrance nearest the carpark (by race control).

Pitting will be inside the compound and behind the rostrum on the grass section. There is no pitting allowed from cars or the car park. You will be asked to move if you have set up there. We have enough room for around 70 racers+ trackside so it’s hoped the paddock will only be lightly in use or not even needed. Please be sensible where you place your tables and make room for other racers.

Mains power is available on one side of the compound only, the sports hall wall. Electric will be limited for each spur. 12v’s are fine in the compound, generators must be placed outside and away.

There will a food van from early on, please support them by purchasing lots of lovely meaty items, they also are doing chips for us. Normal selection of cold drinks, Chocolate Bar, Crisps etc etc.

There are male and female toilets complete with showering facilities. So if you have a long journey to us they are ideal to take advantage of for an extrra 20 mins in bed!

7.15am Trackside open for pitting. Track closed.

During the lunch break, we will be having a concourse competition voted on by an unknown ‘G’ grade celebrity!. There will be a voucher on offer from our club sponsor Apex Models and also the prize of a free race entry upon a return visit to Surrey and Hants for the winner!

During this time the track will be closed (unless permission granted by race director) We hope to have all the racing wrapped up by inc trophies at around 5.00pm.

People having asking about the support race. We are planning on running a 4wd/novice/junior heat along side the bigger boys with their 2wd's on the day. Please book in via the DMS website all under 4wd. Max of 10 cars for the support and we will need a min of 6 :D.

Two booked in at present and I know of another 2 to come :)

Remember those in BLUE need to Pre Pay for the event and those in RED need to Pre Pay for this round and the last round.

Only 3 places left in the open class, max of ten cars. It will be a mixed junior/novice and 4wd heat.

Starting to get a couple of cancellations now. Remember guys if you're booked in and not planning on racing please let me know by Friday! :thumbsup:

Please can you cancel Jack Embling we can't make it

Amended.

To confirm are you saying you can practice this week on Thursday night?

Hi James, yes that's correct.

Not trying to cause problems but.....

Is the track being changed for Sunday?

I'm sure it's in the 'unwritten rules' that either the club dosent run the week before or the track is changed for the weekend?

Hi Paul

No problems with answering questions.

Our Tuesday and Thursday opening this week have been agreed with KW months ago.

We have two new features being installed this week that will not be put into place until Saturday, so the track will be different.

Hope that helps.

Neil

But the layout the same?

Hi Matt

No, different layout buddy.

Neil

Congrats to Kev Lee, Glenn Westwood and Matt Perry for A final 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Superb racing guys!

The final results don't work!!

Well done and a big thanks to Neil, Darren and the SHRCCC crew for putting on a fantastic meeting.
Really good and enjoyable track.
Even though we had radio and car problems we still enjoyed the day.:D
We'll be back !! :thumbsup:

Colin and Tom

Great days racing from the shrccc team :thumbsup:
Sun, close racing & people throwing their ratttles out of the pram on the rostrum :lol: quality!!!
Well done to Kev Lee once again for the win

Should be there now, partial upload, apologies.

From what I've heard, Surrey & Hants have pulled off another awesome meeting. Well done to all involved. Also well done to the Telstar drivers Scott Faulkner, Colin Buck, and Stu Gains for some great results.

The club members and crew at SHRCC should be proud for a very well run meeting today.....great job for a new club
Here is your top 3 - well done to those too

Well done to Kev, Glenn, and Matt some fantastic racing :thumbsup:

Was just looking at the picture above and was wondering what tyre choices did everyone end up running, What with the heat and all ?
I can see that Kev dremelled the front's, which must have worked well !
Really must try that, have done it on 8th but never to that extent on the 10th ?

Looks like worn mini pins on the back of 2 of them.

I found staggers without the inside and outside worked pretty well with mini pins on rear, was awesome with new set of rears. Found spikes too "loose" for me.

Lewis, it looks like you had a good day!!! Must be that new sponsorship deal ;)

Thanks Jason, Car felt pretty good by the end of the day, wish i put new tyres on earlyer as could have had better result! better luck next time though eh :P

Thanks to all involved in running the meeting at S&H - great meeting, well organised and you even ordered the sunshine. Was not totally sure about the track when I arrived as I thought it looked a bit tight but it turned out to really flow well and there seemed to be some good racing throughout all the finals. Definitely a drivers track not a power track.

Does anyone maintain overall championship results or does that get sorted at the end of the season?

Rob

Yea I really loved the track, just wish I had more luck with the car?

Was you guys using yellow compound or did you go to blue ?

http://www.stotfoldmcc.com/regional.php

see: Current standings for the 2012 season: 2wd | 4wd

I think!

Lee - yellow spike
Westwood - blue pins
Perry - yellow pins

Owen - everything and were all crap!! :lol:

You missed the word 'else' in there Matt - LMAO

Thanks:thumbsup:

Is it just me or do both sets of standings show 4wd?

You can also look on the DMS Race Results Booking In website too (www.dmsresults.co.uk), the link is at the bottom of the home page entitled "Regional Results and Standings" although only 4wd at the moment, the 2wd results after 3 rounds will be added later this week when Keith has finished checking them over....
