Glad both clubs are offering to run meetings over the winter. Winter astro turf series is great :thumbsup:

i am just starting racing and just getin all my kit now i would like to do these meeting or are these meeting just for the fast people? can i use lipo batteries? can i use any motor and any tyres?

im just tryin to get used to all the rules

thanks carl

anyone is welcome, you should be able to use any tyres. I think Lipo's will be allowed at Coventry but you will need to check with the Kidderminster club for there meetings.

The first round is only a few weeks away, so start and get your entries in.

Will we be allowed to run Lipo's at these venus?

well, Stuart Harlow has partially answered that on behalf of Coventry (see his earlier response). As for Kidderminster, at the moment I think the clubs policy is No, however, after the AGM that may change. We will have to wait and see.

Please note - -

The dates for the Kidderminster meetings are still to be ratified.

It has now been confirmed.
The meeting scheduled for next week - 12th Ocober is on.
Send your entries with all the usual details to Tony Meredith

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Kidderminster Club will not be able to hold the next Round of their Winter Series on Nov. 9th. as scheduled. The next event at Kidderminster will be Jan. 11th.
The meeting scheduled for Coventry is still on.

So am I right in thinking that Nov 9th there is now nothing on or has this been swapped to cov

Nov 9th will remain blank as far as the Astro Masters is concerned. All other dates remain...

so young thomas is november the 9th no meeting at kiddy:p

A reminder to all that there is no meeting scheduled for Kidderminster this weekend - - 9th Nov.

You could always come to the relaxed Stotfold club meeting which will be on this sunday!!!!!

Practice makes perfect!!

Starts around 12.30... arrive early and you can have unlimited practice.

Interesting, just up the road from my better halfs sister .... might suggest a visit this weekend ;)

Reminder -
This Sunday - November 23rd sees the 2nd Round of the Series @ Coventry.

Entries please, with all the usual details to [email protected]

can we order some dry weather please ? :thumbsup:

Can someone remind me for tyres etc at Cov for this weekend ?????

worn ballistic green spikes are the way to go

Most get on with Ballistic Green mini spikes, some like Schumy yellow mini spikes in the dry .... I've never found a condition where the Schumy greens work for me.

Dave,

Hoping to make this one but need to confirm with the bosses (one at home and the one that pays me) first.

good stuff, just being lazy and dont want to have to strip the car :thumbsup:

Does anyone know what the current entry list is like for Sunday ????

Will there be any shop in attendance ??

Weather for tomorrow is not at all good. Will make the go/no go decision when I open the curtains I think. I dont want to risk getting stuck on the M6 with James in the car if there is black ice / snow.

N

its lethal if theres snow on it mate dont risk it ;)

Who went to Coventry then.

Snow what bloody snow.

A

I went and then came home straight away. I hope that those who stayed did manage to get some racing in, but the weather was really bad on the M6 driving back so I dont know if they stood much of a chance.

N

I didnt, does anyone know if there was any racing ?

There were 10-15 people fully booked in who definately wanted to race when I left at around 9ish.

The meeting was defo going to run at that stage.

coventry no racing
 

After talking and more heavy rain we got are money back from bill and we all left about 10am with no racing.Dez chand(rrc editor)tried his 1/8th rally x lipo converted rc8(very impressive,29 secs laps)but even that got water inside.Are they going to re-run that missed meeting.

Yep, unfortunately the weather got the best of us yesterday. The snow wasnt the problem but the rain made it all a bit too wet to run. We are hoping to try and re run it but its dependant on finding a free weekend.:yawn:

How about this weekend??

I cant make this weekend :thumbdown:

Dudley is on this Sunday, how about early December?

or me:(

How about a weekend Worksops not on :thumbsup:

What about the 14th Dec combined with the mini astro masters meeting ?.

the 7th or 21st gets my vote

7th Dec no good. Rally GB is on.
