Eden Park Raceway - Winter Warmer 2007-2008

[MattADH]

On the basis that EPR will be putting their name forward for a National in 2008, we are very pleased to announce that the club will be holding a six-round winter series starting in October called the Winter Warmer.

Running one meeting per month to avoid conflict with the other series' running in the south of the country, the EPR events will take place on the first weekend of every month from October through to March. To try and do something different, every competitor will be entitled to a free tea or coffee from the club.

With support from Schumacher who will be supplying prizes for the overall championship, the winter series will adopt the Schumacher Minispike as the control tyre in any compound. This is the best tyre for the track, (Green in the damp/wet and Yellow in the dry) and lasts well so it makes sense.

Round 1 - 7 October 2007
Round 2 - 4 November 2007
Round 3 - 2 December 2007
Round 4 - 6 January 2008
Round 5 - 3 February 2008
Round 6 - 2 March 2008

There is no need to prebook for these meetings - just turn up nice and early! The track will open first thing in the morning (time TBC) for practice and then we will start racing at 10am with four qualifiers and a final for all. Classes to be run will be 2WD and 4WD running separately. Due to the constraints of winter, we will try and get through the meeting as swiftly as we can although we will allow more track time between qualifying and the finals so that if people have travelled a long way, they can use the down time effectively.

There will be more news on the winter series when it is confirmed.
