I count 66 entries at the moment, in order of popularity:
12th E/S: 20
12th Mod: 12
21. TC: 11
VTA: 10
WGT: 7
Mod TC: 6
F1: 6
Mini: 4

More 12th entries than TC entries at a big Australian race probably hasn't happened in over 15 years at a guess.

Default Most [12ths] in a race!

Ok, so I've seen that the RC Formula 1 people set a record for the most F1s in a race with 27 (2 DNF): http://www.rcformula1.com.au/index.p...most-f1s-raced

They are challenging others to try and beat this. There are only 6 F1s entered for this meet so far, but 32 12th scale entries, so I'm going to propose that we take up the challenge and try and beat them with 12th scale entries instead!

Let's see how many cars we can get together after the finals on Saturday or Sunday, and have a race (perhaps with the throttle turned down to 40 or 50% to avoid total carnage). There are 20 entries in 12th Eurostock, so after those finals on Sunday might well be the best time. One of the guys at the F1 record day supplied 9 cars. I'm sure a few of us have spare cars we could lend out too to get the numbers up. We've already got more people who own cars than they did, so it should be easy.

Has anyone got a shot of the slot car track? Free slot car action on Saturday night I think could be a real hi-light.

Why not just race in 21.5 blinky seeing as it is already racing on Sunday? The difference between 21.5 blinky and 17.5 blinky is going to be pretty minimal.

If it's because you only have a 17.5 and not a 21.5 because you usually run Stock, then I don't quite understand why it isn't Stock TC you guys want to run on Sunday.

Or, if you've got one, just race 12th with us. Jason tells me he got another 2 entries last night he hasn't posted up yet, so that makes it 23 in 12th Euro, which is just awesome – definitely something to be a part of.
