It is open for 1/10th buggy 2wd 4wd.

We are hoping to do deals with hotels locally and will email this as we get it.

Any further information that becomes available will be on our club site, emailed through the group and put up here on this thread.

we look forward to seeing all the old faces together with some new faces over the three days.

Our venue is indoors on astroturf with a track width of 2m.

Our website has been updated with suggested accommodation, with preferential rates in nearby hotels.

Cheers guys.
Foolishly I missed this event first time round - wont do that again.
Name down and in!

See you there. :thumbsup:

Hi all,
Winter Race Ireland is starting to fill up, so I would advise to get your entry in asap to avoid disappointment.

If you require accommodation we have a preferential rate at the nearby Travellodge Dublin Airport North (Swords). This is 5 minutes walk to Swords village. If you quote DMCC when booking they are giving a preferential rate of €70 (£60) for two nights, room only.
We are suggesting the Swords area as it is near Dublin airport, and on the route from Dublin Port to our track. There are plenty of shops, restaurants etc. Most importantly there are 10 pubs. It is also 15/20 minutes drive to our track.

Cheers

Really looking forward to this :D

It will be good to meet up with the Southport crew, I owe these guys a few pints:thumbsup:

Hopefully anybody who can make the weekend will turn up as EVERYBODY is welcome regardless of creed, race, species etc.

The only issue we might have is with Octopi. The Octopus has too many tentacles and could give an unfair advantage using the transmitter :p BUT if one applies we will consider the application :lol:

Roll on the WRI 2013

I hear there might be a class on Sunday for highly modified 210s as well as 4wd converted to 2wd + all the usual, best vintage car, highest up the WALL etc, should be a fun event!!!

can a drivers list be posted?

:thumbsup:

yep, no problem. Ill post it in a couple of days when I have all the names off the entry forms.
Also have a number of people who have mailed me without forms and I want to be sure they are in before I post names.

Itll be up on the club website in the WRI section.

Hi all,
There is a link to the drivers list on the DMCC Winter Race webpage.
Please be aware that there are approx. 12 unconfirmed drivers, whos names will be put when we are sure they are entered:

Thanks a lot

Impressive list, I think at the first WRI we had around 35 racers, this one looks like it will top that :thumbsup:

We are a small country with a VERY small RC community.

The UK's population is approx. 72.5 million if 200 racers turn up to an event it's approx. 0.00028% of the population.

Ireland's population is approx. 4.5 million, if 40 racers turn up to an event that's approx. 0.0037%

So, in Ireland if we get 30-40 racers turn up to an event we will have a higher percentage of racers than an equivalent UK event:thumbsup::thumbsup:

But as we all know there are Lies, damned lies, and statistics :D:D:D

Will there be hot food at it? Or will I be bringing sandwiches?

We will be looking at getting food brought in. Again, more details will be available closer to the event.
But for anyone whos has had the breakfast baguette from the café up the road.....

I'm really looking forward to coming over from Southport for this event. I'm one of the four 'Aidan Burke reserved' on the list.

Kev said the lads from Southport are unbelievably good, so we'll be expecting lap records. No pressure! :D

I did say they were good . . . . . good at eating ice cream:p good at telling jokes:D good at eating burgers and donuts:drool: and very good at knocking down joggers:D:p:D

Looking forward to meeting up with the Southport crew again:thumbsup:

I assume they know the tradition that the travelling lads buy beers for the local guys afterwards? Great, looking forward to it already and it's 3 months away

Hi All,
Just a reminder to keep an eye on the club website for updates.
Though anything really important we will email all entered drivers.

The DMCC are delighted to announce that the WRI 2013 will be sponsored by Schumacher!

Thanks a lot guys.

The control tyre for the event will be Schumacher Mini Spikes on all driven axles.

www.dublinmodelracing.com

sponsored in what way? free tyres? Lol

The way it works is anyone with a Schumacher car has to buy an extra round of drinks in the pub afterwards.

Hmmmmmmmmm not too sure about that one :p


I'll buy a round of ............... wine gums :thumbsup:

Can everyone please leave the schumacher drivers alone.




As they provide jammy wagonwheels to the rest of us they are great in my book!

Mmmmmmm jammy wagonwheels!:thumbsup:

Nice one, have friday booked off work for practice!

A couple of drivers have asked if we can open later on Friday to facilitate people who will be working, so we have decided to keep the track open till 9pm on Friday.

Track was great today.
All looking good for next week-end.

I'll be track-side from Friday (early lunch time) with stock from MSD Models / P-DubRacing. (Tyres / inserts / wheels and general spares AVID / GHEA stuff.)
Full stock list is available on the websites.

Items can be pre-ordered via the websites (www.msdmodels.ie / www.p-dubracing.co.uk) and picked up at the track.

If anyone is looking for anything particular let me know ASAP.

MiCk B. :-)

Yeah good racing and we all managed to get round the first corner ( hairpin ) without crashing in all finals!!!

It was a really enjoyable day, and I really loved my first time out with the tamiyas (must change my signature)

If there is anyone who would like to run 1/18th at the WRI (Saturday), would you please let me know.
Thanks a lot
