That sounds pretty good Scott.

A round of Qualifying is going to take about 60 minutes + the watering time which will be fairly often to keep the track in tip top condition.

So if we start at 9am on Saturday for qualifying and do 6 rounds with a 15 minute gap between each round we should roughly finish about 4:30.

Finals will take 250ish minutes including the following races with a gap of 10 min between each:

Truggy B Final - 30min
EP Buggy A Part 1 Final - 10min
Buggy B Final - 30min
EP Buggy A Part 2 Final - 10min
Truggy A Final - 45min
EP Buggy A Part 3 Final - 10min
Buggy A Final - 45min

So if we started finals at around 11ish we should be finished by 3.

We could do some extra qualifying rounds if people wish. We could do 2 extra on Sunday morning which wouldn't be too time consuming.

This is just an idea for the schedule and is NOT the official schedule.

Just need to be carefuly on sunday not to run too late - making it tight for people who have flights to catch or not giving ourselves margin for anything that goes wrong.

yeh, I'd prefere to start a little earlier on Sunday (9.30 - 10 ish, just incase Murphy pays a visit we'l have room to move, leaves more socialising time at the end if all happens to run smoothly and we finish early too.

I'm really looking forward to this event. After only hold the inaugural title for a few months I am very hungry to reclaim the title. Also plan on bringing my Kyosho EP buggy for a potential clean sweep

Hey Guys & Gals

We'er done up a race schedule for this event, please note that this is not set in stone and can/will change if needed.

We have split the Truggies into 2 groups (7 vehicles each = total 14) & the IC Buggies into 3 groups (8,7,7 vehicles each = total 22) to spread the event out alittle more and also to try and take some of the pressure off the guys running duel classes.

Also below is a provisional grid listing, same as before.......... this is not set in stone and can/will change if needed.

Please let us know if these will work or not and will need changing. If you can spot a problem, please point it out so we can fix it before the event starts.

I know this is tempting fate, but how's the weather looking down there?

Oh and FYI Simon Page isn't coming... He's stuck at work!
