The club received an entry payment early in December with an odd reference. If it was you can you please let me know.

If you are paying your entry and are not sure what to put as a reference can you either use your Slyfox ID Number that appears next to your name once you have entered as pictured below, or use your name. Anything else makes it very hard to confirm.



As Chris said on the last page, this event is capped to 180 entries. In the case that we get to the cap, primary entries will then get first preference. For example if we have 180 entries and another primary class entry enters buggy then the last paid secondary truggy entry will be refunded their spot and vice versa.
This will also have to work into the 15 car a heat setup. The class split will either be 120 buggies / 60 truggies or 110 buggies / 70 truggies

So If you plan on running 2 classes you'd be wise to pay up early to be at the front of the list.

In the buggy and truggy I really like the proline blockades. In the buggy the calibers are good as well

Since we now have truggy at the nationals again and in the same time period are there plans to run all the buggy rounds in the morning then truggy rounds in the afternoon?

As much as I like sitting in the pits all day I think this would make the event a lot better for the people running one class. This way we wont be getting to the track at 6am and leaving at 6pm to get two runs in.

I think this is a good idea ( im planing on running one class too ), but the flip side is that with longer gaps between each heat race of either class does give people running two cars more time to repair before that class is back on the track

Zac, that is the concept that we are working towards at the moment. I think it makes sense to run the buggies during the day and truggy in the afternoon/evening as they are larger and easier to see. We will communicate the schedule as soon as possible.

You mean either 120 Buggies / 60 Truggies OR 105 buggies / 75 truggies right?

110 buggies and 70 truggies creates an extra heat.

Even with a max of 75 Tuggies (if we are lucky) it is only an extra 5 races per round. So allowing 15 min per race it would only add another 75mins or so to each round.

Either way you are going to upset someone.....personally I have always believed in runnning both classes together I think it just adds to the atmosphere, but then again we are doing both classes so we will be there all day regardless of what happens



Cheers
