Drivers are advised to water proof their electronics appropriately; the track will have to be dry for on road racing, but we cannot promise the same for the track peripheral areas.

• Radio impound would start at 8:00 am sharp. Radio impound boxes are laid out on the driver stand. Please place them into the appropriate box.


QUALIFYING SYSTEM

• We aim to take the BEST LAP AND TIME from 3 runs of Heats; 5~7 minutes in duration. In order to be prepared for inclement weather disrupting any of the runs, drivers need to be prepared that we may reduce the total number of runs.
• Main Finals shall be 35~60 minutes in duration. The varying duration here is to be prepared for inclement weather. All other Finals shall be 10~15 minutes in duration.
• All these are proposed times, actual times shall be posted on site.
• 8th Scale
o Finals shall be grouped into A, B & C Main Finals.
o With a maximum of 36 participants, there shall be 12 drivers in A, B & C Main Finals; Total Participants / Number of A Main finalists / Number of B Main finalists / Number of C Main finalists = 36/12/12/12.
o However if we have less than 36 participants, we will have 35/11/12/12 or 34/10/12/12 or 33/10/11/12 or 32/10/10/12 or 31/10/10/11 or 30/10/10/10 or 29/10/10/9 . . . 25/10/10/5 or 24/10/10/4 or 23/11/10/3 or 22/10/12 (no C Main) or 21/10/11 or 20/10/10 . . .etc.
• 10th Scale
o Finals shall be grouped into a Christmas Tree with each of the sub tree finals with 10 to 12 drivers depending on the total number of participants.
o The lowest sub tree final shall be 1/64 and the top three finishing position drivers shall be upgraded to compete in the next sub tree final.
o THERE SHALL BE NO SIT OUTS – all drivers shall be schedule to compete in a sub tree final, i.e. the top qualifier shall compete in the Semi A sub tree final.
o The lap and times of the top four (4) finishing positions from Semi A and Semi B sub tree finals shall be sorted for the top 8 qualifying positions in the Main Final.
o The 9th and 10th qualifying position in the Main Final shall be the best of the remaining 12 finalists from the Semi A and Semi B sub tree finals.

GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING INFORMATION

• Food & Drinks:
o The East Coast Park is largely a recreational area with no direct access to food and drinks.
o We will have our cleaner lady stock up her fridge with drinks. Please help us to support her efforts.
o As for food, we will have phone numbers ready for you to order from popular joints like MacDonald’s, Kentucky & Pizza Hut.
o We will arrange to sell lunch coupons between 9:00 am and 10:00 am on Saturday and Sunday and have the pre-packed lunch delivered around 1:00 pm.

• Assuming that all goes as plan, we would have 3 RUNS FOR EACH HEAT.

• Each driver will be issued with a single number sticker for your Heats & Finals, please clean the surface of the RIGHT side wall of your body (bearing reference with the front of your car facing away from you) and attached the number sticker onto it.

Hohoho, good to see you again bro. I had a great time in HK early this year.
Hope you will enjoy yourself here.

you are doing 10th scale or 8th scale? dun bring your 220mm thou..

See you!!

kitracer

who is this
I never had my 220mm early in the year.... you have been checking up on me dude

It going to be FEMCA or this... ..

How is the track condition over there compare to ACO?

Arahawak

iTrader: (32)

Its me, Daniel. The only Singaporean at the Serpent Race with the Malaysian Team early this.

No la, i read about your outing in Japan. You were running 220mm in Japan right?

Track condition, i would say ACO is slighty better. Here in Singapore, we usually run 37s all round. Some drivers prefer 38 front 40 rear for the finals.

The 10th scale lap times are about fast 19s and 8th scale are slow 17s. That hopefully gives you a rough idea how big the track is.

Hope to see you manz.
