EPR this Sunday
 

Am going to make my first appearance at the regional on Sunday :thumbsup:

Just as a spectator mind you, was tempted by the open 2wd but would like to practice first! What time does everything kick off? Can lend a hand if needed...

I'll be the very tall bloke looking a bit lost :woot:

We will be there early to set-up but practice wont start until 8.30am or so...

I would recommend having a go in the open class. No pressure as the keen ones will be competing in 4WD and its a perfect opportunity to get some timed laps in and advice from the other racers.

Will there be a shop? Ive just sent an email to book me and trish in.

TBH I am not sure...

Tony E was thinking about racing in the SE region but not sure what he decided. Also, I thought Marc was going to come to a few of the meetings

I will pick up the e-mails and add your info to our new bbk timing software.

PS: Did you get your BRCA membership card?

Not yet mate, no. :woot:

How do you register for the open 2wd? Do you need brca membership for open classes and do you need brca approved batteries?

You register by e-mail or on the day. BRCA membership is needed to compete in the regional series, and is highly recommended, you can purchase on the day, but you can race without a BRCA membership for up to 3 races, but you will not be able to score points for the regional championship as I have said.

You do need BRCA approved batteries, but come along and have a go, if your batteries are not up to spec we will loan you some that are!!!:thumbsup:

See you sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers David:thumbsup:

Just to clarify though, I thought the 2wd being 'open' meant it was outside of the BRCA regional series? Rules on batteries and membership still apply?

Have an older Trakpower 4900 pack (no BRCA sticker) but should have a newer BRCA approved one by Sunday... just need to borrow a bit of power from somewhere!

Will register on the day if I'm going to race - for future reference what is the email address to use?

Cheers

Email address is on here: http://www.edenparkraceway.com/

The membership is also insurance if you get injured, if you intend on racing often this year then it's worth the few quid it costs and why clubs need people to be registered.

There will be someone there with available power, i will have my 12v with me if you need some.

Nice one cheers, see you Sunday

Please e-mail your details including name, crystals and car to the edenparkraceway address.

Obviously you donmt have BRCA membership just yet so we will assume your BRCA formula grading is F5

update on our National
 

Just to let you know that the EPR committee would like just to have a quick chat after the regional event on Sunday about the National that we are hosting in June.

Unlike previous chats, this will hopefully be very quick as we just want to make sure that we have the right people in place for jobs before and during the weekend.

We will remind everyone at drivers' briefing but this is just to let you know that anyone who thinks that they can help are more than welcome to attend.

If you require any help during the national weekend i will be more than happy to contribute.

Jacquie was sending it directly to you this time!

Thanks Ian...

Not had anything, i will double check with my parents but it should of come to my house....

I can help, as im ill on the weeked of the national so cant go to work;)

weather man says sunshine for the weekend :thumbsup:

Yep just checked the weather and it should be lovely and warm!!!!:thumbsup:

I know this may have been asked before but are we able to run are PTs this sunday as my boys all have them.

No sorry Alan, handouts only, we've got the software but we're still saving for the AMB Decoder and you know how much they are:cry::thumbdown::cry:

Drivers should be prepared with an approx. 6mm hole in their bodyshells!

It's obviously been very wet here today and we won't know 'til we get there tomorrow what, if any, impact this has had on the grass pitting area next to the track. Watch this space and we'll post any changes to the normal pitting arrangements if the club advise us of any. We're hoping the ground will drain as quickly as it usually does but we'll advise!

Though we had a lot of rain yesterday the groundstaff have confirmed that we can still park trackside. There is some standing water and the grass is still a little wet so please take care when parking and respect the surafce and the grounds!

Also please note that there will be a comprehensive footabll programme tomorrow so we ask that you park as close to the track as possible, single file and spread yourselves out along the embankment.

And please, please, please do not arrive TOO EARLY, respect our neighbours and the track will not be open for practice until 08:30 anyway!

We have some exciting new technology that's been installed today thanks to Matt and Tom, those of you with wireless laptops may benefit!

Many thanks, see you all there!

Oh and don't forget those trophy presentations!
And we've secured some interesting little bonuses for the U13 and U16 age groups!

Thanks to the epr crew for putting on a great day.
And cheers to DC for 2 good finals

What a good day we had today!!!!! And such a good vibe going on in the South East, a nice bunch of people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed the comments Tom:thumbsup:
Special mention to Jodie, you did a great job today, as did all the juniors!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Spot on day guys.
Big thanks to all the guys who run EPR ( You know who you are) you put on a realy great day for us racing boys.
As you say Dave great to see nearly 50 drivers there today lets hope we can get this many at all are regionals this year. We had 14 from FORCC there today so at last we are coming out from the saftey of our hall in Boughton ha ha.
Nice to see the youth of our sport out in force today as well, i have a very good feeling regards the end of season finals this year.
Once again thanks boys and if you were not there today get your arses along to the next one you don,t know what your missing.

Echo what they all just said.
Great day's racing - hopefully a taste of what's yet to come this season in the SE:thumbsup:

The SE region is shaping up to be really competitive - but still very friendly and youngster / newbie orientated.

Special thanks to all in heat 1. As your 'ref' today - you made my life very easy as the standard of driving was really very good.

Looking forward to the next one already.
Well done to all.

Awesome days racing!!

Just to echo every one else, was a great day and was well run will be at the 2wd meeting in 2 weeks :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Great day today. Great track, great weather, good turn out, friendly bunch. As Andy said, it's shaping up to be very competitive this year, especially for F2 places. Making the A final is going to be a very rewarding achievement. Also nice to see so many juniors out racing at this level, something we didn't have much of in the mid south. Looking forward to the other rounds. :)

Thanks for an awesome day everyone - EPR guys for letting me pit in race control (!), and especially to Brooke Snr & Jr for your guidance and expertise!

The first of many for sure - god knows I need the practice!!

Ditto to what everyones saying, i had a great days racing:thumbsup:
Hopefully next time i wont miss one of my heats because i thought lunch was more important:blush:

What a start to the season!! :thumbsup:

Cracking day!

Thanks to everyone involved, great atmosphere, great racing, everything was great except i kept loosing my nuts!! (damn ae) :lol:

Nearly had you Steve, i was close but no cigar......maybe next time!!! :woot:

Best finish of the day goes to Elllis's jumping manoever over the table top on the last lap of the 2nd A Final!!

See you all in a fortnight (when there will be cake...), unless you are at West Kent for the practice day next Sun in which case see you there.

well done all racers
 

Hi all,

Thanks all for a good day's racing! From a refs point of view the driving was very clean and tidy with good awareness for other drivers. Marshalling on the whole was also pretty good - although we do need to get the meeting moving a bit quicker next time, so the guys that have a long way to go don't get home too late. We'll sort this next time.

See you in a few weeks or at Steve's next week for some early practice!
Alex

Hi All,

Thanks to the EPR guys for a good days racing.

Cheers,
Jon.

Thanks to you too for all your help with the timing. I think what you said and showed us over the course of the day would have taken many meetings for us to fathom out...

Anytime :),

Jon.

Thanks to everybody who helped run the meeting plus cheers to DC for some good refereeing for the heat 2 runners.

Disappointed with 11th, just couldn't get a clean run (all my own doing) but only have to wait 2 weeks to have another crack :thumbsup:

Can somebody book the weather again!!
