Ok chaps we are at 71 drivers paid up and booked in by returning email booking forms

Booking in will close at 12:00 noon on Thursday to allow us time to process all drivers. There will be a reserve list as soon as we hit 80 drivers.

We are very happy and excited to see so many of you booking in to race with us. Its set to be a really fun, relaxed, and enjoyable day with a track that has that urban flavour!

Anybody who is yet to book in then feel free to email me at [email protected]

As previously mentioned, drivers are welcome to arrive at the venue from 7:30 and get settled in. We have brilliant amenities around us including a breakfast shop that does EVERYTHING you will need we have a fully stocked newsagents, coffe shop, curry and snack cafe, great toilet facilities and secure parking about 10 yards from the venue.

You will approach from any journey down a road called Heath Mill Lane, look out for a stack of rusting crushed cars built as a wall! That's the carpark.

Any difficulties with finding us the type in Gibb Street, B9 4AA into sat navs/Google maps and look for the signs for The Custard Factory


Schumacher have supplied some really cool raffle prizes including some nice T-shirts, Lipo Charger, and some tools. Tickets for the raffle are £1.00 in the pits, so don't forget to jump in and grab a chance to win yourself some cool stuff

Let's make this already exciting event a real corker

Hi,

Just looked on Google earth and it's not easy to see the exact location, any chance you can upload a edited image of Gibb St showing which build we are in and the carpark location.

Thanks,
James.

If you check the area on Goggle maps, study the section of Heath Mill Lane that has Gibb Street ajoined to it. Gibb Street is notoriously difficult to see on Goggle Earth as it is under a railway bridge. When you find Gibb Street, and the intersection with Heath Mill Lane...the big warehouse directly at that junction is the one.

The carpark is directly adjacent, just over the road (Heath Mill Lane) from the warehouse. I hope that helps chaps?

Booking in has gone wild over the last few hours! Looks like it is going to be a full house. I am currently wrestling with red carpet and gaffer tape...I actually look like a giant human sized rasberry ripple!!

Not long to go folks....off-road is about to come inner city

[MatJohnson]

Am lost already,


is it location 1,2,3 or 4? The car park is between 2 and 3

[Dazzler]

[hazeandfizz]

Got it cheers, it's easy to see on street view on google maps with this info. You can see the crushed cars at the entrance of the carpark.

Any track photos yet?

Come on the weekend

James.

Just sent you email after booking in form bit late but only heard about this tonight at hot trax

[styleone]

Hi folks,

Just a very quick friendly reminder chaps as I'm up to my lipo chargers in it as the moment. Please remember your tables and chairs so we can make sure the pits is comfortable for us all...thanks folks...not long now Right...back to work

[adon30]

Found the carpark on google street maps marked by the rusty cars!! Is that a pay and display carpark?

Is it far from the car park? Is it the one on the corner for let? or the old fabrication building? Got to think how to lug all this stuff.

It's only 3 miles from my work so I could always swing by tomorrow afternoon if I can be bothered. I'm sure I'll find it in the morning anyway as I'll just follow the crowd!!

[arransmith27]

Any pics yet ?

Can't wait for this

[mounty]

stu what did you cap entries at in the end or havent you?

[styleone]

Our original plan was to cap at 80, we have decided to allow booking in to continue until 4:00 tomorrow afternoon.

Numbers for all classes are looking great with 10th 2wd set to be a real shop stopping set of heats!

We have drivers booked from, CML, Ansmann, Kyosho, Carisma, Phat Bodies and a good helping of local legends and race stars from as far North as Mamchester and Southern representatives not letting us down.

We are so excited to see such a broad spectrum of our racing community coming along to help us tale off-road deep inner city

We wish you all a very safe journey to the event and can't wait to meet you all in person
