Your club needs you!
We’re looking for a couple of people to step up and learn how to setup and run race control. Jodie will be heading off to University in September and that leaves a vacancy in race control. We’re not expecting you run the whole night (at least not at first…) but on the odd occasion when I can’t make it, we need someone available to get the computer sorted and run the races. If you’re interested, have a chat with myself or Jodie and we can get the ball rolling.
Happy Birthday
Our infamous leader turned 50 today. Happy Birthday Alan 🙂
Get Well Soon
We heard this week that one of our longest serving non-racers, Tony Gavin, is in hospital following a heart attack. We wish you a speedy recovery Tony and hope to see you back at the track soon.

EPR National 11-12 June 2016
Saturday 2WD…
So last weekend saw the rollercoaster that is the 1/10th off-road National Series come to our region courtesy of Eden Park Raceway. First off, the EPR crew (Steve, Shareef, Charles and others) did a fantastic job in preping the venue. The new astro and lick of paint made the track look great. Unfortunately the weather would play its part and while it was all fine for the early part of Saturday, that would prove to be the only dry running we would see all weekend.
The thunder, lightening and rain came in towards the end of Q3 and that set the tone for the rest of the weekend. It didn’t stop some outstanding performances though with FORCC stars Nathan and Kyle making the A Final, Ed made the B and George the C.
In the National Series, you get a little momento when you make your first A Final and somebody did in 2WD…
Further down the field we had Stu in the E Final, Myself and Callum in the G, Matthew in the I, and Jack and Ian in the J.
Sunday 4WD…
So Sunday started wet and just got wetter as the day went on. To try and beat the weather practice would be cut short and qualifying would start an hour earlier. By the end of Q3 the track was saturated and had become difficult to marshal safely. In light of this the organisers stopped the meeting and the result was declared at the end of Q3. It would be another top 10 finish for Kyle (9th) followed by Ed (13th), Nathan (15th), Callum (41st), Matthew (63rd), Myself (64th), Jack (66th) and Stu (68th).
All in all, a great weekend (if a little damp) and thanks once again the the EPR crew for putting on a great event.

Club Transponders
We’ve reached the point where we do not have enough handout transponders to go around on busier evenings. With that in mind:
- Please do not take the club transponders from the box before the heat listings are put up. It makes it difficult for us to allocate transponders when we don’t know which ones we have available. They don’t always make it back into the box at the end of the night.
- If you’ve been with us long enough to consider yourself a regular and you are still using the club transponders, please consider buying your own so we can free up some of the club transponders for new people getting into the hobby and for those that might need to use one occasionally for whatever reason. Last night 18 out of the 42 entries (43%) were using club transponders. The club has 14 transponders of which only 12 were available last night.
Cheers, Jon.

It’s the 2WD EPR Regional this Sunday.
Week 1
Results Updated
The new championships started last night so it was week 1 of 15 with the best 12 to count. We’re still getting a lot of new faces walking through the door and some of those guys have now bought cars so we look forward to seeing you all on the track soon 🙂 No computer issues this week which was a nice contrast to a week ago 😡
Last Weekend…
So the hall had an open day to showcase to the locals what activities and clubs use the hall on a regular basis and we were there in force.
There was a steady stream of people walking through the door and we got to show all the locals what we as a club are all about. We also found the time to have some tea and make some silly faces…
Sorry Dave 😛
Then disaster strikes, and the laptop power supply dies on us thus ending our video display. Dave steps in to try and fix it first…
The softly, softly approach wasn’t working so Ollie steps it up a notch…
There’s nothing quite like smashing electronics with a hammer to bring a smile to your face 😉
Ultimately his efforts would prove in vein, but we all appreciated the effort 🙂
Oh go on Nes, give him a cuddle…
So that was our Saturday. I bet it was more exciting than yours… 😛
Non-Championship Week 4
Results Updated
So the 13/5/16 saw the yet another meeting on Faversham Off-Road Car Club’s well established Astro surface. The FORCC is Boughton Village’s best indoor facility offering regular off-road club racing on a Wednesday evening along with indoor bowls and scrapbooking being held at the venue most weekends. It was a quieter than normal evening due to many of the club’s regular F1 driver’s taking a well earned break before this weekends National but I think that just meant there was a little more fun to go round for the rest of us 😉 . Good luck up at RHR this weekend boys 😀 . Keep up with the latest club news on the FORCC Facebook group 😛.
Those of you that were there last night will be quite aware that we had to get a bit retro and manually count the evening. Thank you all for you patience and to Nathan, Jeff, Mark and anyone else that took a turn counting the cars. I believe I’ve got to the root of the problem but I won’t know for sure until the postman arrives tomorrow… All things being equal, next week will be round 1 of the new championship unless we’re still having issues in which case it will have to be another non-championship week.

A huge thank you to Ben and the 1066 crew down in Hastings for putting on their first ever Regional last weekend. It was a great meeting and it’s a fantastic venue which quite possibly has one of the best indoor rostrums in the UK!
Out and about…
There’s nothing on this weekend due to the National being on, but next weekend you’re spoiled for choice with both Barham and EPR running meetings on Sunday.
