bahh!! take your negativity elsewere! this isn't a mainstream sport so you can't expect mainstream style promos to work. mainstream marketing promos shouldn't be used anyway. it's a niche market.
And I thought the whole idea of organising a promo like this is for some ones capital gain, not the pleasure of 50 or so hobbyist.
Think of the thousands of $'s it will cost to have the man here with his onterage, and what will the hobby gain from it all ?

If people are going to organise promo's, you would think that it is to bring the hobby more into the publics eye, not to be kept hiden so it can die out.

PS i am not being negative, I to do want to see great champions like Surikarn, I just haven't seen any real facts that justify the expense of the exercise

I talked to a friend of mine today and he said that he was coming. This friend would now if he was or wasn't but fastolfart is right you would have thought there would have been more publisity than there has been. BUT who cares I'll be looking forward to racing against him in mini all I have to do is to get my old MO1 up to speed. I think I'll to a few friends that race every week get get some speed secerts. I wonder if I can stretch it into a MO3L body

Will the M03L be legal, the rules state quite clearly in black and white PDF that the body has to be "Morris Mini Cooper"
the M03L is not a Morris,
it is a Mini Cooper by BMW

Rounds will be around one hour to complete.

Just a note to Mod drivers to be ready on sunday morning with a charged pack, because you will be the first off the bat in the rounds, then the stock heats will be run. This will be better for you guys when finals time comes around and you don't have to run back to back heats.

Mod A
Mod B
Stock A
Stock B
stock C
stock D
stock E
stock F

Three rounds then finals should start around 1 to 1:30 PM.

Mod A 1st final
Stock A 1st final
Stock F
Stock E
Stock D
Mod A 2nd final
Stock B 2nd final
Mod B
Stock C
stock B
Mod A 3rd final
Stock A 3rd Final

We are aiming for racing to be complete by 3:30. then the presentation.

Practice on friday will be in 1/2 hour slots between Nitro and electric as per summer Nats. A clock will set up on the drivers stand to start and finish each bracket.

No electric touring cars will be permitted to practice on Saturday. This will include after the nitro racing. This will be time for 1/12 cars and Mini's to practice.

Also the track will be closed on Sunday in the lunch break before finals. No cars allowed on the track at all unless advised by race control in extreme cases.

Entries are now closed. Don't even think of turning up on the day or on the friday to enter. Hopefully we can post a list of Drivers in the next couple of days on this forum.

Don't worry about we all had to do it. The only way to improve yourself is to try other tracks. Hay my first major meeting was a off-road national titles I only had been racing for 6 months how do you think I felt.
