Default BRCA SE 1:10 Off-Road Regional Calendar 2011

Here we go again!

Following the Regional meeting, discussions and subsequent feedback from FORCC (Faversham Off-Road Car Club, http://www.forcc.co.uk/), Plough Raceway and EPR (Eden Park Raceway, http://www.edenparkraceway.com/) please see finalised BRCA SE 1:10 Off-Road Regional calendar for 2011.

All dates are Sunday's unless otherwise stated, you'll see why!

2WD
01 May 2011 EPR
11 June 2011 FORCC (Saturday)
03 July 2011 EPR
07 August 2011 Plough Raceway

4WD
22 May 2011 Plough Raceway
12 June 2011 FORCC
31 July 2011 EPR
06 August 2011 Plough Raceway (Saturday)

As you may have worked out, for the first time we are trialling, with both Plough Raceway and Faversham, two-day Regionals. These were proposed at the Regional meeting and accepted by all represented clubs. Plough and Faversham have both agreed these with their respective land owners and both have also gained permission for overnight camping/caravanning on the Saturday night (small fee to cover costs).

Both tracks will be re-laid on the Saturday evening to allow for any wear to the track that may have occurred during the day.

Also to cater for any drivers that may not be able to attend a Saturday event (and we do expect there to be some) Faversham will run 2WD on Saturday, 4WD on Sunday with Plough running the other way around, 4WD on Saturday, 2WD on Sunday. This means that drivers not being able to attend on a Saturday will still be able to attend enough qualifying rounds on Sunday's.

Here's looking forward to another exciting new season with an increasing number of competitors of all ages and abilities, as always everybody's welcome!
Watch out for more specific details about these events soon!

PS Also keep checking the popular forums (and your emails!) for some exciting events outside of the Regional series in the South East.

FORCC will be participating in some local community events, as they have done so successfully in recent years, the details of which they have promised to let me know so that others can possibly get involved. Their biggest will be the Help for Heroes Charity event on Sunday 14 August 2011, where all classes will be catered for in a demonstration event at a full-size car show. We've been to these for the last two years and can strongly recommend it as a fun day out for all the family!

EPR are finalising a round of the Short Course Shootout on Sunday 15 May 2011, initial details are available here on Oople in the Truck section, more details will follow as the series gets nearer.

Other events are also being planned and will, no doubt, be announced on here as soon as dates and details become available!

Plough Raceway doesn't have it's own website, it's still an emerging club that's barely been in existence for a year or so but here's a link to one of last years events there with many of the required details:

http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46029

it's basically and 'old school' type of grass track that has been good to get back to.
Oh and the bacon rolls from the pub are well worth the trip!

Mikey,

Its very close to Tunbridge Wells.

I worked out both from Farnham and the SE Series was saving 170 miles on all 4 rounds. The SE killer is the long trip to FORCC but equalled out by local trips to Plough and EPR x 2.

SE has 2 rounds on Grass and 2 on Astro.

Good luck.
