Yeah, I'm thinking about putting my RB into the Truggy, see if I can't find some more run time.

Default Hello?

I think it's time for someone from the committee to start monitoring this (and other club) threads, it seems questions go un answered for quite a while.

I cant do it anymore guys, I'm a bit far away

As far as I know this is a nitro meet only. It is only across a few days so there really is not enough time to start running short course and electric 1/8th.

I suppose you could run in with the nitros but how many races could you cram in two days, especially after last years event when there wasnt enough time to scratch yourself

Hey guys,

We just held the same event in Whyalla

We had 60 entries (over the 3 classes).

The boys from Adelaide (SDMCC) ran the event (RD using Alycat), I'm sure Peter running the event with Slyfox can easily do the same great job.

We have allowances for 'excessive entries' should that occur, we are able to reduce the number of qualifiers from 6 to 5 (or 4), but thats a last resort option.

You'll also find that with 3 classes (unless you choose to run multiple classes yourself) that this will space out your races a little more.

At this stage (based around number of entries and weather etc) we will be running 3 classes, 6 x 7 min quals for all, 2 x 20 min finals for all nitros and 3 x 10 min finals for all electric buggies. This is the exact format we used in Whyalla, from memory I think we ran 5 x quals sat and one sun morning then all the finals.

Cheers

DN

Yes we are racing 1/8 elect buggy only. This I know because Phoenix Hobbies is the sponsor for EP 1/8 buggy.
