    Classic Buggy Racing Format

    There will be one practice round in heat order.

    There will then be 5x 5 minute Rounds (heats) of racing per class.

    Each round is a Staggered Start format so buggies will start 1.5 seconds apart and it is all about completing as many laps as possible in those 5 minutes. The Transponder system will record the exact time and laps over the 5 minutes.

    Classic Buggy Points
    In each round there are 200 points up for grabs. The fastest driver is awarded 200 points. 2nd fastest 199 points. 3rd fastest 198 points and so on.
    After the 5 Rounds, each driver’s best 3 Round scores are added up and the worst 2 are discarded.
    Nostalgia Points are then added to the final score to give the grand total.
    (Busy classes may bit split into 2 separate rounds but the points will still be allocated per class.)
    In the photo example, the worst 2 Round scores per driver are discarded, the Nostalgia points are added on and Hutch wins the class.
    img30876_04072014080532_1.jpg
    There is a maximum of 11 Nostalgia Points per buggy and these will be allocated at booking in.
    Uniqueness at the Event 2 points
    Original Chassis (not re-release) 2 points
    Wiper Board Speedo 2 points
    Brushed Speedo 1 point
    Brushed Motor 1 point
    Nimh or Nicad Battery 1 point
    Period Tyres designed for chassis 1 point
    Non GHz Radio 1 point

    An important note re insurance on the day. Something we've had clearly clarified by the BRCA.

    If you are entered in the amateur class and are a complete novice (never raced before) you can race without having insurance cover.

    People who are experienced racers and have raced previously, and have let their BRCA insurance cover lapse will have to have insurance before they can race. Lapsed BRCA members should already understand this but the regulations aren't particularly clear which is why we've had it clarified.
    A BRCA License is £17.
    Please direct message me with any questions on this.

    Well have finally got myself booked in.

    Am going to be running my Wild One and Supershot.

    Really looking forward to this!

    To anyone who hasn't raced before and is unsure about entering, let me say that last years Dt02 event was the first time that I had been on a track. Sure, my driving sucked, but it was great fun and a brilliant day out!

    At the revival you're going to be racing with like minded people of a similar ability.

    This promises to be a fantastic event, so blow the dust off those models and get yourselves entered!

    Nice one Steve and well said. We're encouraging complete newcomers to racing and they will be well looked after.

    Re our chat at Clumber; we'll be mixing PRO and AM during the heats if necessary so there will be no quiet heats.

    I will be in Chesterfield on the first Sunday of August, which I think is the 3rd will you be having a meet then?

    Cannot make the July one as I will be working.

    Just trying to plan ahead.

    Not sure as yet when the next one will be but it will probably be nearer to end of August. Perhaps the Bank Holiday weekend. We'll know after the July 6th meet.

    As an alternative, there is the SnettertonRcMeet. PM me if you're interested in that one.

    Hang on, does that mean Jamie Booth is going to be at the Vintage Revival Meeting on the 27th?

    He was one of my RC heroes back in my schooldays. Might have to ask for an autograph... :)

    No promises from me on this but Jamie is an IconicRC member and has clearly stated that he is attending the event.

    Like many others he hasn't booked in yet whilst sorting out what to run etc.

    I've discovered today that the Grantham A1 Travelodge is now up to full price (£52 per room and 1 minute from the track) for the Saturday night. Still a bargain if you double up.

    The Grantham Colsterworth Travelodge is 2 junctions down the A1 (10mins from the track) and is currently £32 per room for the Saturday night.

    A reminder that there will be a posse heading into Grantham Town for beers on the Saturday late afternoon/evening. Both Travelodges will mean a cab into town if you want to join us.

    Hope that helps. J
