EPR National 2009
 

What with the annoucement of the second annual legends race at this year's EPR National, I thought a thread would be good for people to ask questions, etc...

Concours Competition
 

Along with the legends race, there will also be a Concours Competition both days with a prizes for the winner on both days.

Only one rule is that it will be a 2WD body comp on Saturday and 4WD body comp on the Sunday and the shells entered must have been used in qualifying so no shelf queens allowed!

Have you ordered the sunshine like Oz did?????:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

i thought that was your job dc:thumbsup:,lolol,

Last chance for some practice
 

We will be hosting a regional on Sunday 7 June at EPR and this will be the last race meeting before the National two weeks after.

There will be a open class running alongside the 4WD regional one so if you have raced in another region and scored points there, or if you want to race your 2WD as well, the opportunity is there.

The everyone in the regional meeting and the open class will get four qualifiers and two finals with the A finalists in the regional getting three legs.

Any questions, please ask...

No! not after he ordered the Faversham weather! lol

So if i want to race 2wd and 4wd this weekend matt im assuming there will only be one final which will be mixed? Does that mean i get a discount :P only joking!

Fingers crossed i'll just be using a 2wd!:drool:

what kinda time we looking at arriving? i assume its the usual free practise etc?

Dan

There is no reason why you cant use both chassis' during qualifying. We are hoping for a reasonable turnout so if we get around 14 open drivers then there will be two heats and we would be happy for you to run one after the other...

We run two legs for everyone except the regional A who gets three as per the BRCA rules.

Please arrive no earlier than 8am and we will open up the track 8.30am if not earlier. Qualifying will be at 10am and we will try to turn things round quickly.

Hope to see you there!

Hahahahahaha:thumbsup:

a would love to come and have a practice before the national coming up soon but its way 2 far for us :thumbdown:

im trying to talk my brother into coming up with me this sunday
runnig 2wd in the open class

how much is it and what time dose booking in open

£7 to enter, booking in opens as soon as they get it ready on the day, but I believe you can e mail steve brooke, or matt or alex breyshaw to enter.

With just over a week to go till the EPR national it's very quiet on here????
Maybe we don't want to upset Jimmy!!!! And hope he won't hold the report back till 2010:o:o:o:thumbsup:

I've heard the report will be kick ass boss :thumbsup:

I remember the cr*p journey down last year via the M1 - travelled M1-M25 - QE Bridge etc
Whats the state of the roadworks around Luton now, should we find an alternative route?

It's about 10m further, but you could go via the M40

A1's where it's at boss, and don't follow Rich Coates through London! :lol::lol::lol:

G

The M1 roadworks are gone now, but a few nasties round by jcnt. 25-26 on the M25 with the tunnel refurbishment.

From the North M1/M25 is the best route really. NE you can try the A1/A14/M11 possibly? Don't go through London though! QE2 bridge all the way :)

wot time will the gates be opens plz?? gunna be a nice short relaxin drive for me this year, in essex to start with, SCORE!!!!

We are saying midday but if you are a little earlier, it wont be a problem...

okies kewl, sorry i havent been payin alot of attention, but camping and things are fine, is there any entertainment, are there shops close?? all the usual things really

Friday afteroons/evenings around the bridge is rubbish so you can expect to queue for a while - sorry.

The M25 can be problematic anytime day or night but the M25 is arguably the best route - at least there are services if you need a break.

Camping is no problem as we are blessed with a large grass area.

Entertainment-wise, unfortunately I dont think there is anything planned but the bar onsite will be open from midday Friday til late. I am sure that a few spent some time in the bar last time round..


There is a local parade of shops within walking distance (five mins) but if you come from J4 on the M25, you will pass West Wickham Sainsbury's and this is a five-minute drive from the track. There is a cafe as well a kebab shop, indian and a pub in the parade whilst Jimmy's personal favourite of McDonalds is again a five-minute drive.

HTH

Thought that this may help...

There is a Domino's, Chinese, KFC too, then head to the mini-roundabout and take a right (4 o'clock) there is a mini-express-supermarket at the petrol station - good for stocking up with butties etc.

Is the venue providing a BBQ like last year too?

Yes there is plenty of fast food around - I will be at the track if anyone wants further details.

As far as we know, the club has no plans to put anything on Saturday night as they have a wedding reception on in the function room. If anything changes, we can let you know.

The local delivery places will come out as we checked at our last regional with a Dominos Pizza delivery to Racer Control!

can we get in to the wedding reception :thumbsup:

Hit on the Bride Belsten?? There may be some nice looking bridesmaids??

Hopefully we can attract some local interest...
Thanks to the guys who put this together.

Tempting fate I know but the long range forecast on Metcheck is dry until after the National...

Fingers crossed.

I hope all have those really nice bodyshells all fresh for the concours.
Looking forward to seeing the best looking shell.....Oh and don't worry Matt, the weather is going to be just fine.....

im finally in for 4wd woop woop:thumbsup:

Any shops planning on going ????

Really looking forward to this weekend :thumbsup:

I believe that MK and the Race Place will both be there....

Are there showers at EPR? I can't remember. :bored:

MK will be there...:thumbsup:

MK Racing is the official shop of the club and will be present first thing on Saturday morning. They will be located on the main straight at the banked corner end.

To make sure that he has what you want trackside, I would suggest that you drop him an e-mail or give him a call if you have any specific requests.

Yes we have requested that the changing rooms are open - just ask if you have a problem.

for those coming from up north be warned.....the QE2 BRIDGE has verible speed trap cameras all along it now...its 50mph all the way to the tolls.

Yes there are cameras up but I am unsure that they are active yet as there is a small sign at the first set that state "cameras not in use."

I use the bridge everyday but only very rarely am I able to go faster than 20mph anyway!
