Awesome effort to all the SMA drivers that attended the first found of Challenge Cup.

Great stuff

Hopefully we will have a bigger team at the second round.

Default SMA Point Score Reminder

Just a reminder guys, SMA's First point score season of the year will start tomorrow night, and will run for the next 13 weeks.
Point score will be calculated over 13 rounds but will drop out your two worst rounds.
Trophies and prizes for each of the classes

Classes
Mod, stock, 21.5 blinky, novice, mini, f1

Track opens at 6pm registration between 6:45 and 7:15 followed by drivers meeting with racing to start at 7:30pm sharp

So come on down and have run at one of the best 1/10th Onroad electric tracks in Australia



Regards



Steve Taulanga
SMA President

Before I forget, the CC roadshow crew for Edgeworth deserve a big pat on the back. Well prepared, well disciplined, every SMA'er ended with a podium finish in their respective finals.

Even with the longer than usual break from racing, Silva and Keefy were suitably clinical. Brent cut a super-clean run in the B main, while in the same race, young Matt posted a time that would have been in the top half of the A. Wayne B took out his final, as did Wayne C in stock B.

Nice job guys!

what are everybodys thoughts of once a month we run teh VTA cars of a Tuesday night.

maybe the last Tuesday of each month we aim at getting a class that night for VTA action?

i would probably drop in numbers if we tried each week, but if we made it a special once a month deal, it might attract a good field.

rules as per Scottys Enduro: 21.5 blinky, VTA tyres and body


anyone up for this, i have a crisp new mustang that needs some attention

list of what Keefy?

i think we will have to run the 3 x 5 as i think when i aksed this last time Craig said it would be hard to setup on the timing system, until we can learn this style of setup it probably will look like 3x5

List of bodies you are allowed to run. Actually are there a set of rules somewhere?

Thinking again you could set it up like nitro and get a 15 min amain, you would just need to manually skip the qualifying rounds you didn't want to run. Alternatively it might be interesting just to do 3 x 5 min races all grid start
