2013 Proline Challenge - RHR Dirt, UK

[James]

I would prefer if cut and shuts weren't used please, any production tyre may be used though. Looking forward to seeing you!

Forecast is gradually improving!

Just over 80 entries now and still more coming in - amazingly we even have enough for a heat of short course!

Or just production tires that are available?

As far as I know Jason Knight from Moss Models is coming along and will have some 2wd front Holeshot's with him if you need any

Don't forget to bring that sun over with you!

80+ that's great news! Finally no dumb spec class racing lol

& stock tyres, gotcha. I have some cut & shuts, can I burn them off for practice? Wasn't sure what to bring, so I bought as many tires as I could..
& the less I take back is better for me lol

Yes running them in practice is fine. pretty much the only tyre used at the oople race (dry) were 8175 ribs, more of a mixture at the 'dirty weekend' (damp) with a few drivers on suburbs - very little in it and no real decision as to which was better! So 8175 ribs and Holeshot rears and you'll be good to go

Few more entries and even the weather is slightly improving! http://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/s81_8eu

Practice doesn't start until 9.30am saturday morning so I think you'd be ok coming sat morning.

We are going to have to be flexible due to the potential rain forecast on saturday but our proposed schedule is:

Saturday:
Practice 9.30 - 11.30am
Heat 1 Round 1 on the line at 12pm
Followed by rounds 2 and 3 - and possibly 4 depending on rain etc

Sunday:
9.30am Heat 1 round 5 followed by 6th round (if we have it)
Bump up finals - 3 to bump up
Top 5 from each semi into the A main


We may have to adapt this schedule due to rain, but the current schedule is purposefully very flexible so we can fit in for definite 4 rounds and hopefully upto 6 even if we have extended rain breaks when we will pull the covers on (with a bit of help from the racers hopefully ).

If the clay track is on a 'break' under the covers while rain passes you will be welcome to run around on the adjacent astroturf track with pleasure if those thumbs are itchy!

Been working on the track today and its looking good

Any other questions just ask!
