Round 2 - June 13th - Falkirk

[Donutt]

Great event at Stonehaven yesterday, big thank you to George, Stuart and the whole club at SDRCC, for their hard work and putting on their usual great job with off-road.

Looking forward to Round 2 at Bowhouse Community Centre, Grangemouth.

Hi folks,

Is the round at Falkirk going to be outdoors, as I know there was talk about it being on the grass area outside, rather than in the hall.

Cheers,

Dasbo

If it's nice weather it's going to be outside ...

[kaylon]

Oh..a quick question...

Standard BRCA motor rules ?... 27t, 19t, Modified & brushless ?... or we just mixing everything up...

I'm running a 15t brushed atm so would like to know what to do for.

Thanks.

[Donutt]

I'll be posting more info in a mo, but the event will be outdoors if the weather is good (grass track) or indoors if the weather is poor. Decision will probably be made on the morning, or it might be made the evening before, if the weather is obviously bad. More news nearer the time.

Motor limits are not imposed. It'll be down to local club rules, but I believe Falkirk run an open modified policy - 2B safe, as long as it's allowed in BRCA, it'll definitely be allowed at Falkirk, and I believe that's the policy at Stonehaven and Ayr (CSOR) as well.

I'm still waiting on some parts for the 511, but it's back to it's best at present and raring to improve on it's poor performance at Stonehaven.

Cheers Dom.

The reason I ask is that all the tyres I have are for outdoor use (mini spikes etc.) and I'm not keen on buying new wheels, inserts and mini-pins for only one meeting. (I'm not sure if I'll make the other Falkirk round at the mo)

Hopefully it'll be outdoor as its only proper offroad when theres mud ;-)

Also, I've been testing my car with my electrics from my TC almost every night since the last disastrous meeting and it hasn't broken down yet, so fingers crossed.

[smeagol]

Yikes, hopefully ill manage this one. It will be my 1st event so will just have totry my best ha ha, least the car has been here and its been out and about working,

mayeb ill need someone to take me under their wing.

Sorry folks,

It looks like I'll have to pull out as I have just been asked to go offshore over the weekend for something urgent. Pity, as I am halfway thru my re-build preparations. You'll have to disregard my vote in the 4WD entry poll.

Will hopefully see you all at the second CSOR meeting as I wont make the re-arranged one due to holidays.

Happy racing and c'mon the Durango's :-)

[Mr Eccleston]

When will a decision get made if it's being run indoors or outdoors, is that a Sunday morning job. I assume you will be cutting the grass on Saturday just in case the weather keeps up for Sunday. Only reason I ask is I currently only have 1 set of wheels, just need to try and glue the right tyres on.

[Donutt]

I've had a text from John to confirm that the racing on Sunday will be outdoors.

It is expected there'll be some light showers (possibly) and will be a bit "cauld fir June" but pits will be in the hall so plenty of opportunity to warm up between races and stints of the obligatory marshalling!

See you all on Sunday!

[Donutt]

Some news re Falkirk:

• Meeting will be outdoors on the grass behind the community centre.
  
• The "Tuck Shop" has run a little low after tonight's meeting and there won't be time to re-stock it before Sunday.
  
• There is microwave, kettle and fridge available to use, but please respect them and leave them as you find them, i.e. clean!

[Mr.C.]

BBC's forecast isn't looking great for tonight/tomorrow morning.

Hopefully it'll just be another of their wildly wrong ones again.....

[Donutt]

Thanks to John Allan and the Falkirk club for a great meeting today, despite the threats from the weather forecast.

In the end, the rain didn't last long, wasn't too heavy and I think added a bit of a fun challenge to the track, with some concrete slabs forming part of the track.

And thanks also to everyone who turned up and I hope you all had an enjoyable day.

I've got the results crunched, and will be posting the latest Championship points on Oople later tonight! Just catching up with the GP at the moment...

[scotoap]

Hi Dom,
you would have heard from John why I could not take part or be there yesterday.
My pals who were there have informed me of the great day they had, in spite of the weather early on.
Congratulations to all those that organised the championship, they know who they are, look forward to the pics and results table I gather are coming later mate

[Mr Eccleston]

Are the full lap results for the series hosted anywhere, I would like to review lap times to see how the cars were performing.

Good meeting by the way, it's been a long time since I raced a car off road
