Four classes are to be run over the two days; Saloon cars and F1 on Saturday, Can Am and Tottenham GT on Sunday.
Cars are to be built to UKRRA rules which can be found HERE.

Entry fees will be: £25 for all four classes or £15 per day or £10 per class.
Clubroom doors will open at 7:30am and proceedings will start at 11am on Saturday and 10am on Sunday.

There will be a low key tech inspection before each class specifically for the points that will disadvantage drivers of legal cars as per the 2012 rules against cars that have run in previous year. This will be chassis width and guide lead in Saloon, checking for 'hybrid' chassis between F1 cars built to the now defunct D3 dimensions and those built to IRRA dimensions (no D3-style front axle outriggers on wider IRRA chassis) and minimum weight and front ground clearance measurements on Tottenham GT cars.
Can Am cars will be permitted to run in the Tottenham GT class but will not be counted for championship points.

All cars will be photographed top and bottom upon entry. Concours winners will be photographed in detail and the top three finishers in each class will be photographed with the body removed. This is for publication in a subsequent race report.

Concours judging will be by the racers, as in previous years. Votes cast will count toward the overall results.

Qualifying will be done over one minute with laps and sections counting towards qualifying positions.

Racers will be grouped into fours according to qualifying positions. Each group will run eight three minute heats consecutively in a double rotation of the four North London lanes with sixty seconds for lane changes. Lap totals will be added to concours votes to determine overall positions.
Awards will be given for the top three finishers in each class, concours winners in each class, a Victor Ludorum trophy and a Sportsmanship award to be given at the organizer's discretion.

Snacks and soft drinks will be available to purchase, there's a kettle in the kitchen area for those preferring hot drinks and there will be a toastie maker visiting for limited hours on both days.

Looking forward to another great weekend of racing.
Best regards,
Steve.]]> Thu, 10 May 2012 12:22:51 +0100 http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63063 PRESTO PARK SLOT CLUB, NORFOLK http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63050
I have thought that the best class of car to run that night will be NSR Sports/Gt cars with a maximum motor limit of 25k and all of the remaining parts on the car must be from NSR. That way Salvatore and Giovani will be at hand to offer help and advice re their cars should anyone have a technical querry and they can see their cars performance on a wooden track.

The new Presto club room can cater for 30 drivers, so if you want to come along please book in ASAP via Slot Forum.

Let's make this an enjoyable evening to welcome Salvatore and Giovani to the UK slot scene.

There will be bacon rolls, burgers and hot and cold drinks available on the evening.

Race fees will be £6 our usual race fee price.

Really hope you can make it. Thanks. Mike]]> Wed, 09 May 2012 23:34:33 +0100 http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63050 Champions league http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63041 FIRST THE BAD NEWS wub.gif
