Hi all,

Just a reminder – doors open at 8am on Sunday with open practice. We will have a quick driver’s briefing to explain the format of the day and then aim to start the qualifier rounds from 9:30am.

If anyone would like to join us for track/hall setup, we will be there from 6:30am. As ever, any help you can offer is greatly appreciated and there may even be a free tea or coffee for your troubles!

Thanks and see you Sunday!

Results – Week 12

Good morning,

Results for week 12 have been updated.

We’re getting near the end of the championship and there are some great battles going on between the 2WD drivers including 3-way fights to get in to the top ten and top 15 and a 5-way fight for a top-20 position.

Keep the driving (and marshaling) standards up to make sure it’s a clean and fair fight to the end of the championship!

Thanks, All,

Lloyd

Results – Week 9

Hi All,

Week 9 results have been updated.

Thank you all for taking the time to read the driving/marshaling guidance sheet last night, I think we saw a general improvement in the standards so we’re heading in the right direction!

Week 8 – Updates (2 of 2)

Please also see previous post for other club related updates!

Racing updates:

Open Practice

In response to feedback, there will now be a period of open practice before the formal practice sessions start. Some points:

  • Open practice will commence once track building is complete
  • Will run until numbered practice sessions start
  • Self regulating, self-marshaling
  • Be prepared to slow or stop when people enter the track
  • USE COMMON SENSE!!

Pre-race procedure

  • Take car to stage and place in a safe, off-racing line position
  • 1 sighting lap can be performed to check car is working properly
  • Return car to stage area
  • When all cars have completed sighting lap, cars can line up on the grid
  • Be prepared to slow or stop when people enter the track
  • USE COMMON SENSE!!

Marshaling

There are still a few instances where the marshaling is not quite up to standard, we will provide some guidelines on this next week

If you cannot marshal, for whatever reason, make sure you have organised a substitute, either directly or speak to a committee member – there are too many instances of races starting without the full number of marshals.
