BRCA Winter Open Championship 2010. --- 1/10th. Off-Road


Whilst the exact format of the meeting is still being worked upon, this is a guide to give everyone a "heads up" on what is happening and generate interest.

This meeting will replace the National Indoor Regional Finals for 2010.

The meeting will be held over the weekend Jan 30/31

This event will replace the indoor finals for 2010. This is an exciting new event planned by the BRCA to keep the national style feel meeting going through the winter!!!
So come on you lot.....who is interested???? Who wants to see this type of event take place??? Who wants to enter???
It is at the same venue that the Players event is taking place this weekend 21/22 of November 2009.
Please show your interest here....All the details also avaliable on www.brca.org in the 1/10 off road section.
Let's keep the best section in thr R/C world fully subscribed!!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

since I wasn't racing last year do I have no F grade or do I automatically get F5?

Is this your first year or have you been racing previous to last year? If so what was your grading before?

BJ

The best place to probably check is with your regional rep. If this fails perhaps try the BRCA, but regional rep would be favorite. But either way you can still race, this event is something new to me and I think the BRCA are doing a "GOOD JOB" with coming up with a new event!!!!

Real name might help as well:lol:

Haha, this is true.....:thumbsup:

Perhaps that is his real name!! I know i'd like that one:thumbsup:
I'm interested in this baby!!! put me down BIG W!:lol:

Good Job Andy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you there eh!!!

count me in :thumbsup:

Big Air Belston is in da house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not going if he is:lol::p

That is "Welch-ist"!!!!!:p

I can't wait for the dogs abuse I get for this post.

I'm coming down from Scotland to do this - and I'll be working my way round all BRCA nationals in 2010.

I've got new cars, new gear and am ready to get trounced ;)
My B&B is booked already!

All I need now, is an entry form...

Fair play its guys like you who travel round to support the Nationals who keep them going. Good luck at the meeting to all.

I've never been F graded before. So far all I've done is 2 MAM rounds at kiddy.

Big G will be an F5 when you get your BRCA membership. (assuming you haven't already)

I have my BRCA membership yes. I was just wondered if I automatically get F5 or have to race the year before to get anything.

I'll be attending the regionals next year so hopefully I'll upgrade that F5 and if I can attend some nationals :)

Cheers for your help.

I'm certainly up for this, sounds a good idea!

Count me in to! :thumbsup:

We are trying to see the interest in an event like this, so come on guys, tell us what you think!!!:thumbsup:

any idea on the date?

I like the sound of the format!

I'm F2 now, but I would be more interested in racing with the F1's could that happen?

Jan 30/31, 2010, Yes this could happen, if the F-1's are undersubscribed, top F-2's could go in with the F-1's.
It would be great to see you there Chris:thumbsup:

OK, sounds good to me

I really don't like the idea of F2's being upgraded to the F1 class. Would you be asked first or just lumped in there? :confused:

G

sounds good,as long as 2wd and 4wd are on separate days, unlike some other meetings?;)

I kinda look at it as an honour to be bumped up. But I don't have that answer, I am sure your question will be answered though:thumbsup:

yep, 2wd sat and 4wd sun!!!

It will be ace :thumbsup: , fingers crossed for an even spread of F ratings - if drivers can be split as outlined in stuarts post it will run a treat, with some great racing :thumbsup:

What about if former F1's get 'promoted' ahead of f2's in the event of uneven entries ?

Doesn't it state that in my original post????

:confused:wouldnt no dont go through every page post buy post, just click new post as most every one else does i guess :p

I'd assume it's from your finishing positions in the National Series??

You lazy bas****d haha:thumbsup:

You could at least read the first post in a new thread!!!:p

Dave if i had to do that on every thread post i read on here, I would be here 4-5 hours none stop, now i love oople but sorry thats just to much reading in one day,click new post read that page and reply job done,:p

haha carl.....I understand.......:thumbsup:

This sounds really good, perhaps on the entry form there could be a tick box to say whether if their class is oversubscribed then they would want to be promoted to the next class up, or stay in with their own grades as some might prefer.

I wish people would read the original post.
People will only be "promoted" if the class up is UNDERSUBSCRIBED.
If a class is oversubscribed then a reserve list will be formed.

Sorry Stuart, I did read the original post, but was just following on from others suggestions about being promoted, or prefering not to be. It is a discussion forum so that's what we do, not always intelligently, granted!:)

Guys, would it be first come first served, or would a ranking system be there so if 50 F2's apply the top 40 from last years nationals, or x per region etc, be included?

I like the idea of this event, sounds like an interesting format.

I am however not interested in racing at it due to the venue (just a personal dislike for the surface, no reflection on the clubs ability to organise good meetings).

Good luck with the event though, be interesting to see how well it works!
