Firstly - ooops - made a boo boo on the links, they have been updated - a quick bit of the copy and paste i believe was the culprit. For EoE drivers - go to
www.brca-eoe.co.uk Your entries need to go through your regional rep.

We all get a grade, an F grade. At the local regional level, like the one you're in at the moment, you can earn anything up to an F2. If you go off to the nationals, you can earn up to an F1.
The likes of us mere mortals going to a National and winning it is pie in the sky, even F2's will struggle. So the F2's get their shot at winning a day at the dedicated F2 champs and we get our shot at the F3,4'5's.
The F2's, Juniors and Veterans competitions are all on the same day for obvious reasons.
The competition is split over 2 days, Saturday for 2WD, and Sunday for 4WD. You can do both if you choose of just one. Up to you.
F3,4,5's (The one I am interested in for the region)
Of all the people who have competed in the EoE regionals this year, everyone is an F5: - except, Jonathan Brown - F1, Simon Watson - F3 and Carl Dufton - F4. Dave Evans I think is F4 too if not F5. Which means only Jonathan can't enter.
Over 100 drivers compete to see who's the best driver. But also, our points are accumulated and we get to see which the best region is.
Normally the EoE get's a right royal stuffing and I really hope that we can gather a group of drivers and climb a couple of rungs.
We get a guaranteed 15 spots. This is to fill 5 x F3, 5 x F4 and 5 x F5. But Simon is our only F3 and Carl is our only F4 (That's if they want to go!) That leaves 13 spots for F5 drivers.
Because not all the spaces are taken up by all the regions, we might get more than 15 spots so it's always worth registering.
It is a very very well organised event and always good fun as there is strange sense of comradery amongst your regions drivers, but at the same time, you still want to kick their backsides - wooden spoons are particularly heavy! I know, I carried it last year.
Last years regions results from the F3,4,5's at Silverstone. That's right Silverstone! The same Silverstone on our LOCAL NEWS! and we were beaten by a region who's drivers live closer to NORWAY than Silverstone.
