This will be the third time this event has been held and it has grown each year to where it is now one of the top events in Asia. Last year, there were thirteen countries represented at this event including teams and drivers from the USA, Europe, Australia and Asia. RCS twin speedways in Bangkok will host this event which will be held during 11-12 December 2004. This year, the organizer offers a little extra excitement by introducing a brushless motor cars exhibition race including factory drivers and top local drivers. This will mark as the first major showing of brushless motors in Asia Pacific.

This race is open for all brands of 4WD electric powered (EP) 1:10th touring car, no restrictions on modifications of the car. Only one class – Open Modified – will be raced. IFMAR rules and format will be used with a few exceptions as outlined in the Rules section. Several top drivers from Europe, Australia & USA are expected to participate in this event, including the UK’s Craig Drescher and Barry Baker, who will accompany Mike Reedy to support the event.

There will be plenty of raffle prizes with a total value of more than USD3,000 (Thanks to Team Much More from Korea, Titan Precision from Taiwan and Associated Electric as our sponsors!) to be given to all participants. A round trip air ticket to 2005 Reedy Race USA will be given to the highest finishing non-factory driver (i.e. anyone not receiving a salary or travel money from any manufacturers, but may be sponsored for cars and motors). This airline ticket prize is a courtesy of Mike Reedy.

Only written entries, received by email with included entry fee, will be accepted. Each participant will receive a 190mm Mazda6 or Dodge Stratus’ Blitz bodyshell, a courtesy of Titan Precision. Entries will be limited and will close on 30th November 2004.

So, book early to avoid any disappointment…

Hi Nipple: thanks for your information.

It's correct that any registration anywhere (i.e. not only at TaiSing) will only be accepted with the included fee of equivalent to THB1,500. The bodyshell can only be collected at Bangkok.
Please kindly note that this fee will also cover for the driver party on the sunday evening (for 2 persons).

There will be plenty of raffle prizes to guarantee each participant will get one!
cheers..

My suggestion for the first timers attending these major races: Go all out. If not, do not waste your time/money. Get all the *tires*, *rims* and *inserts* required, check with the fast guys what they are using. It may work for you, it may not. Budget at least 500 bucks to spend on tires. I spent SGD400 plus I believe purely on tires, rims and inserts over 2 days. And haven't count in the matched packs i bought purely for the event & motors, support equipment...

Last I remembered, when I used Type C medium inserts, with Sorex 36 tires, after only ONE BATTERY PACK and the tires came back worn out. 2nd battery pack out much less grip. 3rd pack come back, dude, I can see the inserts. On occasion, the inserts came back melted (Echo Reds).

Take note it may be the way I drive and I wear out my tires like nobody's business. The paid professionals had one new set of tires per heat/round, and using factory custom inserts - something people off the street don't have access to.

Have a good race, remember it's not all about winning and be a good sports man!

And oh, i forgot to add. If you are a siao about suspension setup like I used to be, PLEASE DO NOT RUN YOUR CUSTOM CAR. My 414m had its suspension modified by yours truly, at a time I didn't yet and *still haven't* understood the dynamics of the car. The least is you may be able to pick up a setup from another local running the same car. Obviously, his/her setup may not work for you, but it may be a good starting point.

That said, even if I had run with a normal unmodified 414, I doubt my results would improve versus these unbelievable speed demons haha

Oh Alvin,
this time it's cotrolled Tires wheels and inserts
We can only buy 2 sets for the qualifing and finals.
Unless you run the triple A main, then we are allowed to buy another 2 sets.
So looks like we don't have to spend $400 on Tires etc......

Alvin

serious? that's good! at least for the racers who need to pay for their stuff.
