Official (BRCA) Series?

[James]

Do you think it can be done in 2010?

On some 8th and some 10th tracks perhaps?

How long until its recognised as a class

[bigred5765]

not soon enough,

[Marvin]

Just wait a while - hopefully we've got something.

All very cagey, might there be some actual leccy 8th meetings next year then??

It wont get 'recognised' till someone makes it so.

Someone needs to approach the BRCA, form a Committee and put the graft in.

Good luck to whoever chooses to do that though, all this "nitro only" BS kinda ruins what is supposed to be a new avenue for people to go down if they want to...
I got huge love for nitro RX....huge love, but if the nitro lads are against electric then so be it...let the electric lads do what they gotta do and let them bring a new crop of champions to the front....

In the same way im looking forward to 1/8th electric onroad

If anyone is secretly planning to go to the BRCA about electric 8th RX and wants any advice (for what its worth) feel free to PM me .

I'd be more than happy to get involved, my main concern is the calender! If you do 10th electric and 8th nitro nationals, plus say either a regional series, how many weekends does that leave for an electric series??

[AmiSMB]

I reckon they should include some heats of electric only if the meeting is not over subscribed. It would then give everyone longer to prepare rather than having a short round time. We ran at Clanfield this weekend and they went very well. In fact my Losi 8ight 1.5BE drove better than my Losi 8ight 2.0B but then again my OS Speed is getting old

@Dave, itll come to a point where you'll have to choose which classes are most important to you I guess :/ You oughta PM Marvin if you want to get involved. Sounds like he knows something that we dont

I know, that's why I think it's struggling to get off the ground, at the moment quite understandably it would be very few peoples priority!

I'd personally go for trying to match ROAR rules (5 min Quals, 10 min finals?), leave electric battery/motor choices as free as possible then try and round people up to get enough for a heat!

I'm going nitro myself next year but know of 2 northern series, I'd happily run nitro at one and leccy at the other. If we had some basic rules I'd happily approach those series to try and get a class agreed in principle then see if we can get numbers!?
