Entry Limit
 

Hi,

Couple of questions for EPR as we may try and attend on the 07/03/10

1) Is there an entry number limit
2) Can people entry both 2WD & 4WD (not me, but other TORCH members have asked)

Regards,

Mike

Quite simply:

1) No, none set to date and we've had some big numbers this winter:thumbsup:
2) Yes, several others do this on a regular basis and we try to manage time between heats for those individuals, if at all possible.

Hope to see you all soon.
EPR Committee

Super, I'll let the relevant people know.

I'll only be running one class if we make it (unless the Cougar arrives..., which I v much doubt).

Do you have any runners running vintage machines? XXCR etc?

Will there be a control tyre for March and I assume LIPOs have to be on the BRCA list (we have a few members who got the Trakpower Dark Series LIPOs)

Final question (sorry) everyone who attends must have BRCA membership (shouldn't be a problem as it's now a requirement for TORCH)?

yes we do have people running vintage machines as i hava cat 98 that i run sometimes and i know someone who runs an rc10 goldtub

for the winter series i belive you dont need the brca membership but if you want to do the regionals then yes you do

as for the tyres im not to sure if there is a control tyre but you are spot on with the lipos.

Oooh look, we've got a new Committee member:mad:

Just to share the CORRECT answers.

Yes we do have drivers using 'vinatge' buggies, we have recently seen older Schumachers, Kyosho and Associated buggies. Though, to date, we do not have a specific 'Vintage' class.

ALL BRCA Memberships, renewals and new applications, were due as of the beginning of the year and are a requirement to race at EPR other then those who are new to the hobby, who get a three race meeting concession from the organising body.

Please check out 'Latest News', dated 24.01.10 here: http://www.edenparkraceway.com/

Control tyre (and preferred at EPR) is any Schumacher tyre, as they generously support our Winter Warmer series.

LiPo's will be as per the recently published BRCA 2010 list for BRCA sanctioned events at both Regional and National level.

EPR Committee

just trying to help:blush:

And once again.........FAILING:mad:

Important but inaccurate information is no help at all, either to the individual concerned or the club itself.
Please leave replies to enquiries such as these either to EPR Committee members or more experienced competitors:mad:

Sorry didn't mean to cause any problems.

I'll speak to the TORCH lot and then if we are coming, PM / email you our various details so that you can enter them onto the club computer (exactly what I do at TORCH.) This is for Sunday 7th March 2010, not this weekend.

The owner of the Losi XXCR in question would want to race against modern day stuff as normal etc.

Understandable re the tyre, think we can all manage that.

BRCA memberships aren't a problem, I'd remind our members to take their BRCA cards with them..

Many thanks for the info and sorry for the questions, but we'll be coming from Southampton, so good to know these things in advance.

I quick question, do you need a PT? I will have to source one if we do

No PT needed! And yes Mikey you must come now!!!! Come visit EPR and I am sure we will come to your track!!!! EPR are the friendliest bunch of racers known to man!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks for the info and sorry for the questions, but we'll be coming :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

So what's the prefered tyres for:

Dry
2WD
4WD

Wet
2WD
4WD

Pending commitments at TORCH over the coming weeks I'm in.

Yellows in the dry

Greens in the wet

Cool, cheers for that.

Staggered ribs on the 2WD fronts?

If you want but spikes are better

Thanks for that, really looking forwards to it. I believe my D4 has already been there in the hands or DiscoStu, but i fear it may not go as well with me driving :blush:

Discuss this weekend.

FAO the likes of dibble34, as per our post in another thread:

As previously, to assist us with the booking in process, if any drivers, who may not have attended EPR previously and would not, therefore, be part of our database, are thinking of coming this Sunday it would assist us greatly if you could PM the following details:

Name, Senior or Junior, Class, BRCA No., PT No., Frequency or Frequencies and Formula (if known).
Many thanks,
EPR Committee

Worn or new?

Just so that I can get new tyres if needed.

If it's bone dry and scorching sunshine:woot: you would only need worn yellow's. New ones offer sooo much grip in the dry:thumbsup:

If there's any hint of moisture:( whether that be from rain or frost you will require new greens sometime during the day or at least a couple of sets of lightly worn ones:thumbsup:

And don't forget:

As previously posted, to assist us with the booking in process, if any drivers, who may not have attended EPR previously and would not, therefore, be part of our database, are thinking of coming to any future meetings, it would assist us greatly if you could PM the following details:

Name, Senior or Junior, Class, BRCA No., PT No., Frequency or Frequencies and Formula (if known).
Many thanks,
EPR Committee

Cheers for the info. I will email you the various details for you tonight.

I'm an F5 BRCA rating :(

Indeed need some of this wet stuff to disappear and for it to warm up a bit :cry:

Details emailed.

Final thing I'll need before coming is a rough damp Cat SX set-up. I think I have the basics from my track (except softer daming and ballistic pink spikes)

Really hope this horrible weather disappears for the 7th.

Green slim mini spikes on the front of the b4 as I reckon the track will be wet / damp next week?

do we have to use either yellow or green minispikes or can we use other tyres if we have them, mini pins for example. Not sure if it would make enough of a difference on the first visit to have brand new tyres :cry:. Also is there a charge for entering both 4wd and 2wd?

Currently got one set of new tyres for the Cat SX and B4 and one set of worn mini spike greens. Not expecting it to be dry unless EPR has super drainage.

I have got a ton of mini pin yellows from Petit

Dave I think it's any Schumacher tyres allowed. Also see this link - http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40635

From the EPR site "The winter series will adopt the Schumacher Mini Spike as the control tyre in any compound.
This is the best tyre for the track, (Green in the damp/wet and Yellow in the dry) and lasts well soit makes sense."

May have to get some off Steve if i go. Do you know if has greens and yellows in stock? Really don't want to buy greens unless i have to as they don't work at TORCH

I will have to check, but I think I took the last lot.

I've run greens without problems at TORCH last summer. I use ballistic buggy pink spikes at the moment with the current winter racing.

Ok cheers, no worries if you did i'll see what i can get hold of if i go;) You defo going?

Steve, is there a shop or do people sell tyres at EPR?

Dave, I'm gearing up to go so yes at the moment. B4 set-up has been changed etc. I was originally only running one class, but now going to do two if possible.

What oil and springs have you got on the b4?

35 / 30

blue / silver but may got silver / silver

OK cheers

Just need a servo for my B4. So need to order a Savox this week
