Can you confirm a few things:

1. Car 1/10h scale off road? What Cars?
2. Fast Charger for batteries?
3. Are the cars race ready and reliable?

Book in on day, £8 non members, members £6, we do supply club transponders for AMD lap counting system, PT's are the prefered long term solution.

Any other questions please ask

Steve

Hi

The Madrats will be fine - (we already have a few racers running them) and I am sure the motors will be plenty powerful enough for your first meeting.

My advice would be just to come down with whatever you have and see how you get on. Make sure you let someone in race control know that this is your first meeting so they can make sure you are looked after and most important of all if you have any problems or questions please ask!! Most of us are pretty friendly and more than willing to talk about set up and equipment all day and if you do break something or need to borrow something there is a high chance someone will be able to help.

I unfortunately cannot make it this Sunday so good luck if you can make it.

Cheers

Rob

Racing this weekend for a morning session, it'll be Julian and I running the meeting so if people can help that would be great. With the numbers on the up it's hard work.

Our Chairman and superstar SteveB will be taking a back burner for a while. Congrats mate An opportunity for someone else to take the glory.

So lets have a great meeting and also all help each other. 4WD for me whilst I try and sort out a pig of a Durango (before it gets raffled).

Have you got the date right

[DHB]

I should be down to race, not sure 2 or 4wd yet. But I will help Mike. How much are raffle tickets by the way?

Corrected

[Nige]

4WD for me

Though not looking forward to the clocks changing - one less hour in bed. So as we lose 1 hour based on current time I'll have to wake up at 5:30am rather than the normal 6:30am

[mikeyscott]

Many thanks for MR RCLazy, so fingers crossed it doesn't take Royal Snail a week to deliver from Bournemouth this time..

[mikeyscott]

If you haven't raced with us before, please send me your details etc.
