Im there as well. It will be interesting to see if there's any difference in laptimes between a 23 turn compared to a 27 turn.

Do you get a free drink and a sausage roll included in the entry fee as per previous meca

VWO= you can run what ever you want even your MTX-4 on brushless.

don't challenge me with the brushless in the mugen, or i might just try it

events have been getting pritty hardcore lately (well run, and fun still), but slightly on the "state titles" type side of things. hopefully MECA will be competitive but still have an element of relaxed "special event" about it.

The Meca Events have always been good fun series, i am looking forward to Running the new Windsor layout running Foam Mod, should be the proverbial slot car.

With the MECA series, and the Challenge Cup this year there looks to be a lot of good local racing going on.

Are there any restrictions on what can be done to the habdout motor? At the on road masters, drivers were not allowed to run their motors in in water. I think a better idea is to hand out motors just before the race and hand them, back after, with a shuffle of the motors before the next round.

That way, there is no incentive to tamper with the motor as someone else will have it in round 2 and 3.

Just a thought, fire away.

finally i have the chance to drive my 1/12. I only used it once but it wasnt in a race...

A tight indoor track is just perfect for these little pan cars...unless Murfy breaks my car again!!!!!!

Can I have a show of hands who else has the intention to run 1/12

I guess that will depend on the number of entries. At least it won't be affected by rain.

....
good suggestion there.
at windsor masters, did everyone had to have a standard connector (deans, tamiya, etc ..) to the motor, or just hardwire and solder directly to the motor upon hand-out?
