The Event

12th. September 2010
08.00 – Gates open for practice
09.00 – Booking in open (Although to help us gauge numbers/heats then
please use the online booking in)
09.30 – Drivers Briefing
10.00 – First Heat

Apex Models will be in attendance with a well stocked selection of mostly Short Course orientated spares, supplies and accessories on the day.

The Coverage

Full coverage of the event will be both online and within Racer Magazine as soon after the event as is possible.

The Race Format

4 rounds of heats and a final for all.

First round of heats will be determined by the self certification of ability when booking in. This is solely there to help us arrange the first round of heat listings, after that, the listings will be arrange from fastest to slowest on the day.

Each Heat will be a maximum of 10 Drivers.

All Heats and finals will be a grid start.

Each heat will run for 5 Laps as a guideline minimum, if all have enough battery capacity on the day to do more, then we'll certainly be looking to extend this to give more track time for all.

The track layout will be changed for each round of heats to add variety/challenge!

After all heats from Round 1 are complete, the times will be used to form a new heat listing, fastest to slowest, again chopped into heats of no more than 10 drivers.

After all subsequent Rounds of heats are complete, the cumulative fastest times from all heats will determine the new heat listing for the
following round.

After all 4 rounds, there will be a set of times cumulative for the day showing who has been consistently the fastest throughout, this will form the Finals heat listing.
 
Finals will be run with slowest finals run first, ending in the fastest set of drivers final.
 
This format will hopefully encourage consistent competition throughout the 'Round' phase of the day and give a running indication of who's getting better/worse, etc.

The Grid starts suit electric and the 5 lap completion should again encourage racing against each other rather than just the clock.

The only way to get into the 'A' final will be to run fast and consistent ALL day.

HB Beams tires are suitable for hard & dry off-road surfaces such as hard-packed clay and 'blue groove' high bite conditions. These tires also work great on indoor tracks.

With criss-cross bars crossing the tire and small bars in between they resemble an unfinished skyscraper in appearance. Scraping up traction where there is none.

Pink compound is our softest and is best suited for racing and ultra low-traction surfaces.
