[Simond001]

and heres a link :D
http://www.hotracers.org.uk/page23.html

thats last years link, hence i didnt post it!

[theflame]

Sounds awesome! If it's in a church does that mean we can't swear if we get taken out? :D

[Sam Gray]

went to this meeting 2 years ago and was great, one of the best i have been too:eek:.
have to do it this year for sure;):D

[theflame]

I quite fancy it too mate

[theflame]

PS: What's a Stockrod? Am I being dense?

[large]

ooops sorry about the link ha ha
- our stock rod class is an out of the box V12 with a control 3300mah battery, and an ABS shell - we do allow uprated steering track rods,servo saver and rear bearings but everything else is as kit - so body mounts,standard speedo with tamiya connector all stay :) - and the racing is fab, very close and great fun

[theflame]

Awesome, thanks Aaron

[Team Tom]

last year we had over 90 cars in total I remember the number 97 or 98 being said.

this meeting is fab, one of the best meetings around! And a championship is at stake! Thee sussex championship. Will last years champions be back to defend their titles? Will we see new faces taking the trophies? Whos knows, you'll have to be in it to win it. Come along and race!, if not come and have a watch, we are open to the public with Grandstand (viewing) area for spectators!

Hope to see you all there,

Tom

[Simond001]

Sounds awesome! If it's in a church does that mean we can't swear if we get taken out? :D

Correct. It is a Family event.

We will have drivers and spectators of all ages, and members of the local community come and watch (especially for the bangers).

As Tom said, nearly 100 cars last year. Some of the best (biggest) trophies are won at this event.

Aerials should be inside as per the Mardave kit.

Don't think you will be allowed out side rails on stock rods as they are non contact. so you shouldn't be hitting things;)

[Team Tom]

he means ariels mel:D

[morbid]

he means ariels mel:D

Had visions of 1300 stock cars going full chat:mad:. 4 cell saloons ?

[Simond001]

Don't think you will be allowed out side rails on stock rods as they are non contact. so you shouldn't be hitting things;)

Correct.

A stockrod is a straight out the box Mardave formula. It uses all of the kit with the exception of servo saver and rear axle may have bearings. It must also be built as per the Mardave diagram, ie no washers under the fron

The batteries are also either 1340, 1850, 1950 or 3300. The only 3300 cells allowed are badged Stockrod. These are available from AK modelsport.

It is a non contact formula.

[terryhotrodbrin]

Correct.


It is a non contact formula.

I REMEMBER GETTING TAKEN OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE FINAL LOL.
ITS NON CONTACT IF PEOPLE CAN MANAGE IT:D

touring cars are great.but this is such a laugh.with great competition and cheap parts thrown in.you cant really go wrong.
alot of good t/c drivers do it and they seem to enjoy it.they have always come back.
ill never sell my hotrod :D

[Sam Gray]

ill never sell my hotrod :D

Just everything u need to run it:D:p:p:D

exactly my thoughts too :)

Been racing touring cars since the first ones ever came out and it looks like I could do with a change in what I race now, cheap fun racing is always good!!! :)

Im swayed towards a hotrod, but we'll see...

[terryhotrodbrin]

Just everything u need to run it:D:p:p:D

lol most things.i regreted it when i had to buy stuff.
at least i have it all ready to take your national title next year:D
thats if wilko gets me some (GOOD) CELLS:)
GET A HOTROD THERE AWSOME

[Simmo]

Nothing wrong with your old cells terry. Its all the driver letting them down.

:D

[terryhotrodbrin]

:D

maybe we will see:D y did you leave hotrods then si pace tooooo much for you;)

[Simmo]

Didnt like the standard of driving, temperamental motors that dont seem to last very long. The constant horsepower battle. And normally the guy with the best cells wins. Finals are normally a lottery depending on if the pole man gets taken out by back markers.

(or at least thats what's happened to me lots anyway)

I may be back yet, it is the worlds coming up after all!

well i hope you are:D and i do understand where your coming from.all be it i think it maybe a bit cleaner now with more faster people are attending.
but i know what you mean from the last nationals it does seem that you need very good cells and motors to be any where near the top 10.
and to think people like stiles and calver etc are not even around at the mo.

looks like the worlds are going to be very very fast and exciting.
its going to be very tough to compete with the 1st worlds though where i think there was only one unfortunate accident.which in my opinion stopped mr potter possibly taking the crown.:(

[Simmo]

yeah think that was his own fault though.

See ya trackside terry, lets hope you play nice...:D

[Pug205gti]

Terry play nice :D ha ha

[terryhotrodbrin]

Terry play nice :D ha ha

ohh i seem to remember you thought we was at the fun fair.on the bumper cars:confused:

[Sam Gray]

at least i have it all ready to take your national title next year:D


u said tht b4 dude, with the saloon stox:p:D Can't remember it happening;):D

[terryhotrodbrin]

u said tht b4 dude, with the saloon stox:p:D Can't remember it happening;):D

lost interest in saloon.l let steve take it from you lol.:D
hotrods different.i will do the nationals next year if numbers of drivers attending are up.and no of rounds.its far to travel for 4 rounds it needs at least 6.

Good luck this weekend guys, especially the drivers from Hots and Bognor.

Ok, On Friday I posted that we would like the WC to attend if he wasn't already entered. (He has).

The organiser (Trevor Hayward) emailed us both yesterday to say the absolute deadline was tomorrow. Programme has already gone to the printers, but drivers will be loaded onto the computer Wednesday / Thursday hence we can take a late entrant.

A big thank you to all who have entered.

We will have pit tables available and set up, but i feel that anyone who has their own would be sensible to bring it along (and extension leads!).

Could any batteries please be in a container to ensure that the carpets and floors are not damaged.

Any questions regarding construction rules, directions or anything else please post or email and one of us will respond promptly.

The Championship website has been updated with entries.

Simond, I have a 10 way 13A block (industrial version of the white 4way block). I was not going to bring it as it is so long; but I will if you think we could use it. I am hoping to make it down Friday, so would bring it then.
What do you think?
