Winter Series R2 - Sunday 2 November
 

This Sunday sees us host the second round of the 2008-09 Winter Warmer Series. What with the clocks changing yesterday and the winmter nights drawing in, we will be running a tight ship for the remaining rounds of the series.

We are also very aware that the final F1 GP of the season takes place at Brazil on Sunday with the race starrting at 5pm UK time. So we are going to try and finish the meeting by 3.30pm latest, which should give the majority of the racers time to get home to watch the race.

In order to achieve this, we will try and start racing at 9.30am and run as quickly as possible through the four qualifiers and a single final. For all you keenos out there, the gates are normally open by 7am and we are aiming to have the track laid on Saturday so we hope practice will start from 7.30am if you want it...

I hope this is OK with everyone but should you wish to stay behind and run some more packs through after racing, then that is fine...

Thanks

thanks matt sounds great,

Cheers, I am gonna need it!!!!:thumbsup:

is there a practice on sat?
 

Hi MattADH is there any chance of a practice on Sat?:confused:

or is this considered bad form?

regards

Matt

u can get enough practice sunday mornin. racing normally starts round the 10 0'clock area most ppl get dopwn there for 8 so a good 2 hours 2 practice :thumbsup:

There is a work party on Saturday as we hope to lay the track for Sunday to save time in the morning. If this all goes to plan, the track will be opened up a little earlier and we are aiming to start around 9.30 rather than 10am - all this for a early finish of around 3.30pm...

There is practice available for those who want it after any work on the track has been finished. I am hoping to get to EPR around 9am on Saturday as I have to leave aorund 2pm. Not sure what Steve Brooke's plans are but he usually stays on a little after.

I will be racing this weekend, but the pred is down and out. So I am using my girl friends xx-4 instead. But still hoping to get the pred up and running, so it should be a laugh:drool:

Tom - I heard that Lewis from Team Xtreme is coming down on Sunday so maybe he can help out with your Pred.

Still in italy home saturday afternoon,my new little one has become ill and doctors say he might not be able fly on schedule? He will stay here with the mrs and i shall return on saturday with the other squirt. which obviously i will be baby sitting till they return at a later date,so wont be able to race! :cry:

wish the little one luck he has bronchitis the doctor says and the family are wishing for a speedy recovery

cheers all

Good luck Martin, all the best to the little-uns!!!!!:thumbsup:

cheers dave i will keep you all posted as we are at doctors in the morning,cheers

IMHO, there are worse places to be stuck than Italy!

Hope everything is OK and that we see you soon...

same here, hope all goes well martin for the little one.

cheers guys,doctors have confirmed he is not fit for flying on saturday so will have to remain in italy for another 6 days and flying out next saturday,i wont be able to make it but glad he will be making a good recovery,cheers all

Matt

hey guys, I'm thinking of braving the weather to come and have a play tomorrow..

I've just got a 2wd buggy (run 4wd before) and wondered if it's ok to run a mamba max + lipo on race days ?

Cheers
Chris

Weather forecast is looking lots better now!!!

We want to be as accomodating as we can.

I just wanted to say myself and Rich Baker had a great days racing today.

Big thanks to Matt,Steve and the whole Epr Crew for today.

The atmosphere was great, a well run relaxed fun meeting the way RC racing should be!

See you at the next one!

that was my best result yet. 4th in the b final. and i beat andy. that just what i needed to cheer me up after a lousy holiday. a brill days racing

as usual, well run especially as it even gave me time to get back for the gp :D. dispite tx problems for emma in her final it was an awsome day for both of us so thanks all

Just wondered if any knows who was taking the pictures on the track? and if they are available to view on any websites??

Thanks Stu
Not bad for a first race with my new car, but i hav 2 thank kevin moore and brian preddy for helping me:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I think it was Clive Rose...

Have just finised editing them.. trying to get a set of results to jog my memory and do a write up for this here website.:thumbsup: I know BigE and Matt won respective finals, but need a bit more info if poss..

If any of you EP 'head sheds' can send me a copy or fill me in that would be grand.

Jimmy's agreed to stick it on which is great:D

it was really cool to catch up with Clive and Matt Sadler - both of who were little more than knee high to a (Tamiya) Grasshopper when I last raced with them...

All we need now is the Parrott to return.

Looking forward to seeing the pics and hope to see you both at the next meetings as well.
