A1 Racing Club 1/10th/SCT Sun 8th May

[Frecklychimp]

I am pleased (and relieved) to announce that A1 Racing club (near Grantham, Lincolnshire) now has the brand new 1/10th track finished.

To open the summer race season there will be an open meeting on this Sunday (8th May)

1/10th Offroad electric 2WD and 4WD buggys, 2WD and 4WD SCT classes.

slightly different format for the first one, gates open at 8:30am, open practice from 9am till 12pm, booking in closes at 12:15pm and there will be 3/4 rounds of heats and finals in afternoon starting at 12:30pm.

number of rounds depends on driver numbers with this being the first use of the track.

£5 per head all day,

perfect opportunity to get some practice in for the Mid East 2WD Regional on 12th June or the SCT National (25th Sep) or Short Course Carnage 2011 (14th Aug)

Club details available on ME-OR website or www.A1RacingClub.com

any questions please PM or post here,

Weather is predicted to be a scorcher so help us make the most of it and get the track bedded in

Apologies for announcement being short notice and the track build taking longer than anticipated but there has been some serious work put in and a few dramas along the way on our site to be able to offer this level of facility.

weekly outdoor club meetings kick of next Tuesday, you are all welcome to join us, details available on websites mentioned.

Any pics?

Can't make this sunday - planning any other Sunday meets before the regional?

Hi matey,

we will be releasing some dates asap for sunday meetings, although squeezing them in between us out running regionals and SCT nationals is tricky until we get heads together.

We will be open every tuesday evening if you want to give the track a blast.

Here are a few teaser pics, first is a before shot with a rough plan guide layout and the others were taken a week ago when Astro was being cut in... track markings will be laid this saturday ready for sundays meeting







Integrating a 1/10th track into a 1/8th track so both classes can be run with a few markers switched out and keeping everything BRCA legal spec has been interesting and hopefully we have pulled it off to give hours of fun for both classes

hopefully see you soon matey

Cheers buddy, your comments definitely appreciated, would have been over to try your new track out but you will understand how much graft goes in to buildng these things and you have visited our site so know what was there already... on reflection it would have been easier to bulldoze the lot and start again... got a 1/8th track to do the same with too

Are you running a club meeting or practice on Sat before regional? got a 22 on day of release and its still sat without tyres and paint!

Look forward to it Wes, it was only light duties this tuesday night, suprisingly had around 30 helpers though, hence meeting this weekend, big thanks or the help with Astro pulling last week

what classes will you be running on a tuesday night?

thanks
