Scottish iGP anyone ????
 

We've had the date on our calander for a while now hoping to get a venue, and today I can confirm it will be going ahead over the weekend of 5/6 March.

So who fancies racing 2wd (Saturday) & 4wd (Sunday) in probably the biggest race hall in Scotland. We may well lay 2 tracks, both larger than we used for last years Scottish Carpet Championships (Dunfermline). One track will be carpet for touring cars and Mardave, the second will be multi surface for off road. And the hall is so large, we'll pitting in the same building as well.

I'll post more details up later, what I need now is to know from everyone who's interested in playing :thumbsup:

I would, where is it?

It's just North of Dunfermline, about 10 minutes in car.

Some say...... it's where they farm the NEW STIG's!!

I would be up for the sunday 4wd. Won't be able to manage saturday though.
:thumbsup:

Here's the location

http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=tbk...20Fife&q=kelty

I'm currently thinking Touring Cars any motor on Saturday, Mardaves (brushed & brushless) and off road 2wd.

Sunday would be Touring cars 13.5, Mardaves (brushed & brushless) and off road 4wd.

I'm open to suggestions, as long as the majority are happy, I'm guessing most of the discussion will be TC racers and motor choice.

Cost will be £10 for your first days racing, and if you want to enter the 2nd day it's £5.

Trophies for first 3 in all finals.

Derek,
Is this Dunfermline High School where the indoor GP is normally held ?

raymond

No, this is out in the country a bit and 3 times the size of the Dunfermline High School hall.

this venue is possibly the best scotland will ever see for an indoor venue . This is based on an ex-ministry storage depot converted into an industrial estate. IT IS HUGE :o

this is also one of the easiest to reach places as it is only 5minutes from a90 , turning off at kelty turn-off. So is ideal for non locals
will post couple of pics of inside this place 2moro:thumbsup:

sounds good - i'm up for it

Count me in both days.

Off Road.

Count me in for the Sunday, Mardaves.

If i can get over count me in for both days. This sounds awesome. I'll need to check what shifts the wifes on but if its ok i'll be there.
Scotty....

What is the surface going to be Derek? If its that big do you have enough carpet.

sunday 4wd for me ;):thumbsup:

The track will be multi surface for off road, touring cars will be fully carpet

control tyre of schumacher yellow mini pin or yellow spikes then

Count me in for both days and track set-up on Friday night (providing I don't have any viewers of my house tht night!)

it's gonna be awesome!!:woot:

iGP
 

Defo up for this both days, work permitting.

:bored: :cry: :eh?: :confused:

I would probably go ( touring car) Aslong as you make it rubber tyres only. Don't think i would come if foams where allowed

what is the rules reguarding mardave brushed

Brushed speedo less than £60 (I think) and mardave g2 silver can motor. Think that's about it!

Derek just bought the durango off the site, so if I get my finger out I should be able to race on 5/6th!

Let you know how it goes

I've uploaded the entry form and rules at

http://www.indoorgrandprix.co.uk/

Basically Saturday is TC any motor with rubber tyres/additive or foams without, Mardave brushed and brushless, and 2wd off road.
Sunday will be TC with 13.5 rubber tyre/additive only, Mardave brushed and brushless, and 4wd off road. If I get enough interest I will also run TC with 10.5 (no timing).

£10 for one day, £15 for two.

If you still have any questions let me know.

Derek.

How are the entries coming along for this?

Entries not bad, I have updated those that I have so far on the club site. There are a lot of off road guess said they plan to race, but I don't have details so they are not entered. I will bring along the pc on sunday and get entries.

There will be a number of mardave entries on Sunday night, not sure about touring cars though.

We may have some drivers up from down south as well.

Derek, after a good run with the car yesterday the speedo decided to pack up last night in the final. Spoke with JE Spares today and it won't be back up for the weekend so unfortunately I won't be able to join the iGP

I could probably loan you a speedo if you like? It would'nt be the best but it would get you racing. It's a nosram matrix evolution.
Let me know and i will bring it with me.

Dave

For those that can't make it this weekend, but would like to follow what is going on, we will be broadcasting results live bother days (subject to a phone signal).

results will be available via the bbk iphone app, or from www.ddrcc.co.uk and click on the bbk rc live logo bottom right, or here http://mob.bbkrclive.com/

great stuff Derek, just had a look at BBK on the iphone. Do you know if there is a mac version of BBK netscreen ? need to have a look.

Just use the mob.bbkrclive website your browser, that should work. We broadcast our results every week.

i'll bring my macbook at the weekend.

Do you have the postcode for the building Derek?

Hi Kenny deeks up at the track getting it ready for tomorrow i have tried to get hold of him to get the post code and it will be posted ASAP :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cheers Jimmy.

See you tomorrow.

Looking forward to sunday. has anyone taken any pics of the offroad track that they can post here, or maybe even some pics tomorrow of the 2wd.

Kenny I think the postcode is KY12 0SJ.

Confirmed, post code is KY12 0SJ

Both tracks are built, looking good for a venue, we will improve on what you see tomorrow if it's feasible to run meetings here.

Thanks guys.
