[HereBeMonsters]

If there is a VLB race though, how do we tell which one is which?

"Mine's the yellow one with the wheelie bar on the back.."

Ian's just finding out about camping. The guy he needs to ask isn't back until this Saturday, so hopefully by then we'll have an answer.

Lunchbox races are always awesome. How about sticking a coloured paper flag to the trucks aerial - or go for an extra special paint job

Keep the interest coming people - we want to make this a proper event!

[rc-martin]

Sounds good to me, i'll have to get permission from her indoors first though.

How good is the off road track there these days? Can remember a few years ago it was really rough and the 1/5 scales struggled to make it around.

[wolfdogstinkus]

Is there a beer tent/ bar?

I may be interested if funds allow, won't know till nearer the time!

[ant88]

Count me in for this! along with my rigs and various RC's

[Paulzippy]

I would like to come along

Not an off-road track anymore.

[mymonsterbeetleisbroken]

Keep it going guys

I've now got no internet at home so i'll be back with updates on Monday when I'm at work. I'll speak with Ian on the weekend and we'll get the track booked up.

[carparkthrasher]

Sold!

A whole day with a track and Tamiyaclub members, what a belting prospect! Let's get that Conga Longa! (sorry...........)

Fair trek from wet and cold Wycombe so will probably look into overnighter on the Sunday.

Will be great to see real humans not just user names

[mymonsterbeetleisbroken]

The track is booked up!

Camping is fine on the site.

Camping will be 5 per pitch per day, paid in the Model shop when you arrive.

The gates close 10 pm on Sunday night and open again 6 am Bank Holiday Monday morning.

As there is a Tamiya Race event on Sunday, we'd advise you to arrive Sunday evening to give the race guys time to finish.

Myself and a few others will be there on the Sunday to show everyone where to park up and pitch tents.

Keep watching this thread for more updates

This may be a stupid question for an R/C event but,...................

Can I bring my doggie?

She never gets off the lead anyway and won't be any trouble!! and she loves camping!

3 per person for the track, 5 for camping. The money is paid on the day to the staff in the Snetterton Park model shop

[Leethal Driver]

Uh oh. This might be my first un/official bash with fellow TC members! Will have to sweet talk the powers that be, although we'll be due to come over and see my folks at some point in Northants anyway. Bit of camping and a few beers sounds like fun!

Might even get my old man along too seeing as how I just flogged him my TT01.

[WILD WILLY]

Well i'll be camping as its a fair trek from west yorks ! really looking forward to meeting up with some old and new faces from tc and getting to see some of the models featured here on tc !

[purpleboy]

[Matt_N]

Any make of RC is welcome to the track for lots of fun racing and bashing (nitro running will be limited on track if lots of us show up though)

Fair enough, aslong as I'd get some track time with something from what I'm about to purchase from a friend I'm happy. Now, anyone passing near Andover able to take me

Count my Globetrotter in too... And many other cars I'll be bringing.. Just need to get more batteries.

[mymonsterbeetleisbroken]

Excellent people, keep the interest coming! I'm looking forward to it already!

I came to Kiddiminster back in 2005.. Will this be structured like that meet? Will off-roaders be allowed?

[mymonsterbeetleisbroken]

Off Roaders are fine!

The only thing that could be limited is nitro, due to them usually being bigger, heavier and faster than electric.

I never got chance to get to a Kidderminster meet sadly. I've seen vids and pictures, were they structured in races based on chassis type? I'm sure we could organise something like that, but we'd need to make sure everyone had the opportunity to run there cars/trucks so general playing about time would be needed too. Frequency control will be another issue I'll address before the time comes!

[subsea]

Frequency control shouldn't be a problem as we could ask to use Snettertons peg board.
