There are still some guns yet to hit the track too. Gonna be good fun, Steve how will the xmas tree finals work? Will the final be a triple or just a single once the semis are run, and how many direct qualifiers are there (if any?)

I am hoping to make the B or C final depending on number of entries in stock. Main thing is to go and have fun whilst improving my driving skills.

See ya's Saturday

Calvin.

OK I've just chatted to Steve about the format and it's standard nitro xmas tree rules, so...

1. Qualifying will be rocket round, with the 4 fastest times from any qualifying going directly through to the A final.
2. Depending on numbers, groups will be split into semis, quarters, 1/8th finals etc
3. Racing commences from the lowest finals first with the fastest racers progressing to the "next" final. The top 3 from each semi, will join the 4 direct qualifiers
4. The 4 direct qualifiers will get a 5 minute practice run. This is because all of the other A finalist would have raced at least one additional race since qualifying, sometimes 2 or 3
5. The A final will be a single 5 minute race

The F1 A-final and lower finals will be between these races to give competitors enough time to prepare tyres and charge batteries.

There will also be prizes for fastest lap, biggest crash, and the "demarco" encouragement award will also return
