Default 2006 Harris RC Challenge - Sat 26th Aug - Boronia, Vic

Hi All,

Announcing the Harris RC Challenge for 2006. Mark down Saturday, August 26th in your diaries. As per last year, the event is an onroad electric meeting, and will be held at the Boronia Radio Controlled Car Club, Dorset Rd Boronia (Melbourne).

This year we're planning on running a Saturday twilight meeting, for something a little different. This will mean free practice in the morning and early afternoon, and a race start around 2pm. We envisage finishing up around 8-9pm.

We have learned a bit from last year's event and changed a few things, but the event will remain similar - a fun day, with cheap entry fees, offering 540 novice, 540 pro, mini, stock, and mod classes. There will be a minimum 2 heats per class (hopefully 3, depends on entries) as well as 3 A finals for all classes.

There will be medallions and prizes for podium placegetters for all classes, as well as encouragement awards.

Entry forms and detailed rules are being written, but in short, rules will be as per VORTEC rules, open rubber tyres, max 6 x 4300mah cells.

ALL money raised on the day from entry fees, food and drinks will go directly to the club. We will be onsite of course, helping out where we can. We'll have our products with us for you to check out and, if you like, purchase.

More details and entry forms coming soon. Mark the date on your calendar NOW, and hope to see you there!

Thanks.

-Scott

Last year's Harris RC was well run and had good numbers, hopefully it can be bigger this year.

Should once again be a great event. Given the limited time for preparation and promotion, the event ran very well with good numbers. I would expect numbers to increase quite a bit with the amount of notice given so it should be a good one. With Boronia recently getting a concreting upgrade it should be a good event to test out the foundations too!

I am racing at the Harris Rc Event and I have a mini as I am from Brisbane and do not know what the track is like there I would like to know if there is anyone who does know the track could tell me if bridgestone 240/35vr15 tyres would be any good to run on the track there.

Mr Safer has some 1/10th replicas of said bridgestone tyres for mini. Hence the confusion.

From my long faded memory of racing mini at Boronia around 5 years ago I seem to recall HPI X-patterns to be the tyre of choice - not sure if this is still the case. The 60D's will give you a slightly larger rollout though, so if they hook up they might be the tyre of choice now.

The rules (http://vortec.iwarp.com/about.html) say "Small size Mini wheels only with any commercially available rubber mini-sized tyres". So you're not restricted to box tyres or tamiya slicks. You can run Ride, Shumizu, or whatever takes your fancy, as long as they're mini sized (not touring car) and rubber.

Entry forms will be available very soon - probably this week. Watch this space.

This year we will also be offering prizes for concourse - so get your painting gear on and get to it! The shell can be any class (i.e Tourer or Mini) and the shell must be raced on the day.

More soon.
