Sorry to contradict DC but there is no way that we can, at this moment in time give a specific start time for racing on Sunday!

10:00AM would appear, from what I'm hearing form our technical boffins, to be very ambitious! All we would say is that we would like to get started v. late morning/lunchtime and that the meeting may well be abbreviated, possibly to two rounds of qualifying and a final for everybody, time permitting.
And if we fail to grasp BBK we may resort to our old friend RC-Timing.

Obviously before we actually start racing the track will be open for practice from as early as we get there!

Hope this clarfies,

Thanks Steve, that's spot on. If drivers can get there so we can start booking in around 10AM we'll then start practice. We may need some drivers to run around during practice with transponders to check the timing is working OK. Once we're happy with BBK we'll start the race.

Please can we ask all drivers to be as co-operative as possible during this test meeting, you will be really helping us get things ready for the regionals and the arrival of AMBrc and PT support (yay!), but it may not all plain sailing.

Thanks all

Tom

I had only said that cause I have every confidence in your wonderful ability!!!! And I am sure you will have it all running in about an hour!!!

Just kidding, I said 10am start so people were there at least a little before 10

i was wondering if any cat owners,
would have a spare front hingepin and the alli part that it fits into r/h side from memory,
i have ordered the parts but they havent come through,
so i can replace parts when i get my parts through

Thanks to everybody that attended today, I hope a good time was had by all and it served a very useful purpose.
Special big thanks to Alex B and Tom S (HKP) in Race Control, getting to grips with the new BBK, despite one or two minor glitches looking good guys!

Good to see yet more new faces as well as the well worn regulars.

Just for the record our winners were:

4WD:
1st - Nathan Ralls (X11)
2nd - Grant Williams (Cat SX)
3rd - Stuart Band (Cat SX)

2WD:
1st - Chris Brooke (XXX-CR)
2nd - Alex Brayshaw (B4)
3rd - Barry Carolan (B4)

Special mention to our 'Driver of the Day', young Emma Howsham, still very early in her 'career' and learning but impressive spacial awarenes, always giving the faster cars plenty of opportunity to get by whilst staying on the track at the same time!

An example to many of the more experienced drivers out there!

And don't forget, BRCA SE Regional Championships 4WD Round 1 Eden Park Raceway, 19 April 2009, that's only TWO WEEKS away! Hope to see you all there! And don't forget there's a 2WD Open class for those that want it!

Yet another great day, despite horrific radio trouble and a broken front diff! And then there's the truck ...

Big up to one and all.

Guy.
