As im sure a lot of you are aware the slot it challenge is in its last year this year and some of us have been discussing what we could do to replace it. Between Graeme Thoburn and Julian Edwards mainly and a whole host of other people with their suggestions (thanks a lot) we have managed to come up with a series !
This race series is still for Slot.it 1/32 cars with the emphasis on 'standard' and therefore more cost effective cars with close racing. In the rounds of this event that have only so far been one offs, all have been great successes. We have seen very good close racing in all of the events throughout the field.
The events will be held at GT Raceway, Kilburn, Molesey, Hereford and Pendle with dates to be decided. Hosting clubs will hold the event over a weekend. It is the intention to race Slot It Classics on the Saturday afternoon after practice. The Group C's will race Sunday after practice and scrutineering. Finals will be held for both classes.
This format should suit racers wishing to avoid hotel costs etc
Racers will be asked to register and pay for 3 events (as per current rules) or enter as a guest for the day/s only but said racer will not be eligible for finals or the championship.
The championship will be scored on best 4 from 5.
Both classes will be "out of the box" with hand out (BRM F22) tyres.
Entry fees:
Saturday: practice only £3. Classic (including tyres and practice) £7
Sunday: Group C (including tyres) £10. Both classes £15.
Rules:
Cars will be presented for scrutineering with the bodyshell and rear tyres removed and once passed will be held in parc ferme for the duration of the event. Any work that needs to be carried out after this time must be done in parc ferme under the supervision of the scrutineer. Random scrutineering will take place throughout the event.
Lighter fluid, cloth,toothbrush,bearing/gear oil and tape will be provided in parc ferme for tyre/braid cleaning and lubrication. Only the items provided in parc ferme can be used.
One pair of marked control tyres will be handed out after the car has passed scrutineering and these must last the duration of the event. The control tyres for the series will be BRM 22 shore 19x10. Additional sets of tyres will be available for practise at cost.
