Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice from 4:00 PM Thursday 27th December (day after Boxing Day), followed by qualifying and racing. Scheduled classes are Porsche Cup - 6 races @ 30 laps and Historic Saloon - 3 races @ 30 laps, however bring along any other cars you wish - we may have some other races that we'll decide on at the event (suggestions welcome, starting from right now). We'll run A and B subgroups if there are more than 8 entries in any class. Please bring your cars READY TO RACE. This is our final event for 2012, so come enjoy a last blast of slot car racing for the year. Walk with something to put on the BBQ along with some drinks and lets close the racing year off in good spirits. Here's the proposed schedule:
  • 5:30 PM - Qualifying. Drivers not ready will start whatever races they are ready for at the back of the grid in the order they arrive at their driving station with car on track.
  • 6:00 PM - Racing starts. Again, drivers not ready when called to grid will be replaced by any excess drivers who are ready. We'll have a break for food along the way.
  • After racing - Packing up followed by liming/old talk.
You can see all the class regulations here and the general racing regulations here.

Ice Brigade: Someone please volunteer (2 bags please).

See you on the circuit...
Gordon

Hi Gordon, great to hear that we'll be on for Thursday. I'll bring the 2 bags ice. Not sure what to bring for the grille but I'll think of something. Are we going to have any 'forced-retirement' races as you suggested ?
