Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (16th February) for our 2017 Group C classes, Mini Challenge IROC (Avg of 6 races), Rally Car (3 stages of avg of 6 cars), Slot.It Challenge (3 races).

Remember that we try to start our events no later than 8:30PM sharp. Here's the usual schedule:
  • Free practice and testing up to 8:30 PM
  • 8:30 PM - Technical Inspection (excluding IROC classes).
  • Qualifying followed by racing. Drivers not ready when called to grid will be replaced by any standby drivers who are ready.
  • Post-race Technical Inspection (if required)
  • After racing - Packing up and liming/old talk (but not too late!).
Key points to pass tech inspection:
  • Rally Car - If visible, interior must have both driver and navigator figures (heads minimum); no traction magnets; "Magnet-effect" motors are not allowed.
  • Slot.It Challenge - Group C Slot.It cars only; single standard Slot.It "non-race" magnet (the one with the grooves); Slot.It tyres.
You can see the 2017 class regulations here and the general racing regulations here.

Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.

Hello guys and in case anyone wondered ...

I don't normally reply here that I am racing (other than not) but under the current and overall circumstances - I am making (worldly, spiritually & slot-cars too) arrangements to be present at FRC today ;)

See you'll later and I remembered Arden telling me last week, he will try and make racing tonight.

That said, I checked back that MC IROC was last raced (RR206) just under a year ago and Arden was present at this commemorated event. It was also the only time he raced for the year ... March 2016.

Btw concerning these cars - I did some service and cleaning plus made a single change with one of the livery/bodies.

All should be pleased with these cars and hope they are raced tonight.
