8th December Christmas Race Meeting!
 

8th December - put it in your diaries now.
It's Caldicot RC Racer's annual Christmas race! There may be mince pies, but there will definitely be plenty of racing for 10th and Micros :D
(it's also just before our Micro national in January so feel free to come and practice!)

More details for our Xmas Meeting this Sunday:
9.30 doors open
10ish racing starts - Micros, 10th 2wd, 4wd, trucks and vintage heats.
4 rounds and a final minimum, aiming to finish by 4.30 - Entry £10 for as many classes as you want.
Tea, coffee, hotdogs, soft drinks, crisps and choc available

NO PARKING in the street please, we should all be able to fit into the carpark ok, if not then I'll have the key to the base so we can use that as an overflow carpark.
Entries to [email protected] please

And finally - once we've finished racing the WRCA AGM will be held, please hang around for that if you are interested in racing in Wales next year.

Pete i know it a bit early yet but can you let us know when the brca and the club fees are due,including forms ect. just a thought so i can save my pennies ready.cheers

Ooh .. fav meeting of the year :lol:

How about a truck class just to add to the general mayhem ? I'm sure we can drum up a few West Country truckers !!

Round em up Si, if we have enough for a heat we'll run them!

more truck mayhem then, can you get more than eleven trucks in one heat ??

Pretty sure its been done before at Caldi .... back in the good old days :p

IM IN FOR TRUCKS AND MAYBE FREDDY AND KEV AND ANDY AND NICK
WHO ELS ?

If you're interested in racing on the 8th please send your details to [email protected] so that I can get the heats sorted.:thumbsup:

What about vintage, that's cars not the mince pies :)

If we can get enough cars for a heat then yes, vintage too!

Come and race indoors, don't worry about the weather or having to clean your car! :D

Yes im up for vintage that day, put me down for micro as well. Normal club booking in details for me.

I guess the question is how many vintage cars can i race in one day!!!

Cheers

Rich

Well assuming 4 rounds and a final I would hazard a guess at 5 maximum Rich!

And just in case anyone missed it earlier:
Don't rely on me spotting a forum post if you want to enter please!

pete, has the hall been booked all weekend so the track from friday will be used ,or is a different track for sunday being built on the saturday

We've not got that far in planning really...but I'd suggest we'll be changing the track for Sunday...we'll probably switch to the bigger track size for Sundays extravaganza!!! :woot::D

I've just had confirmation from Yatton club that we can go ahead and consider the truck races to be the final round of Yattons truck championship ... I know it won't effect everyone running trucks but there are quite a few Caldi regulars that came down to race in the truck championship so mad as it may seem having the final round there should make sense :p

HI PETE IS THERE A TIME SCHEDULE FOR START AND PACK DOWN.

What is the latest I can book in for this? I'm waiting on a new car and if it all hangs together I'll be wanting to run 2wd on Sunday.
Cheers

Looking at doors open at 9.30, racing start 10am with at least 4 rounds and a final for everyone.
I'll in the kitchen sorting teas, coffees and hotdogs plus the usual soft drinks choc and crisps.

As long as you can drop me an email by Saturday am I can try and sort the heats properly, but if you just turned up on the day we're not going to turn anyone away :)

Cheers, if its not finished by friday I'll not be making it anyway :)

pete, can you book martyn and ellis in for sunday, both running 2WD.
cheers

Will do Bri.
Anyone else? :)

Please add me, Roger Mills, to 2wd, PT 267123. Ability wise last time I was indoors with Mr Belsten he was about 0.5s/lap quicker but I hope to close that with my new car :)

All I have to do is finish it......

Tire choice
 

What tires are needed for your track? Any control tires? Preferences?

Just thinking about what to glue up as my tire glue is sloooooooooow to cure.

Yellow pins all round for me Roger, low pro staggers for front as an option. What's the new car?

You are using the wrong glue then mate :o

if you're coming tomorrow would you bring me some glue please Dave?

Roger Roger Roger......tut tut, thought you would have learned by now. The only glue to use is nuclear RC . Tires never come off ( unless you drink Stella and can't remember if you've glued them or not!:p)
And it goes off in seconds!
I'm sure nobjockey, oh sorry, I mean belsten can bring you some;)

space ?
 

hi are you all booked up for tomorrow or is there still spaces ?

2wd as my main please.

Micro hopefully, but will have to finish it there first as Mikes got the last bits i need - motor, receiver, bodyshell, wing etc etc....

And i'm bringing the Predator as Craig wants to rag around it in 4wd for a round or two. As there probably wont be many 4wds we'll just join in if and when we are able.

Plenty of spaces :)

Booked you into 2wd Matt. Are you booking in to run 4wd too?
Can't just jump into random races!!

Thought this was a easy-going Xmas fun meet, didnt think it was going to be that serious... :o

Tell you what Pete, to save you any hassle ill just pop down in the morning and see whats what and go from there :)

Matt, it's not that serious, but it might make the difference in the number of heats that I setup - we don't want the track too crowded, that's not fair on anyone!

No i do see your point Pete... my apologies, not knowing the numbers i kind of assumed it would be ok, i didnt realise we had that many entries !

Pull me out of 2wd, ill pop down in the morning as ive got a few things to buy off people anyway, and ill get the micro ready for the next clubnight :)

Now you're just confusing me! I thought you were running 2wd anyway with the others being extra!:woot:

Make thank you to everyone who raced today, great to see you all and hope you all had a great time.
Big thanks to everyone who helped pack away too, finished the day off for us nicely :wub:D

Had a excellent days racing! Big thanks to yourself Pete, Andy, Craig, Mike and everyone else who was involved and raced :)

Great day, thanx all :)
