Friday Night Electric Racing
After the success last year of running the Friday Night Electric Racing to try and help the BRCA get the Electric SWORDS running we have decided to run the event again this year even though the Electric SWORDS is not happening.
The first Friday we are starting on is 18th June, booking in from 6.30 to 6.45 and racing from 7.00pm to 9.00pm. This will then run for as long as we can over the summer till it becomes too dark to race at night.
The Classes we are running are:-
– 1/18th Open Class
– 1/10th Open Class
– 1/8th Open Class
The timings will be 5 minute qualifiers, 8 minute finals with 3 minutes between races.
Fees will be the same as last year.
Friday Night Electric Racing
Hi All,
After a quiet first meeting the second meeting is looking to be a lot more promising. And the most impressive thing is the electric racing is beinging in the female racers that we do not see on the Sundays. Maybe this is the beginning of the women showing the men (or is boys?!?!?!?) how it is done?
The most pospular class looks like it is going to be the brushed class, followed by the 1/18ths, and bringing up the rear is the brushless class.
So remember if you have an electric car (no matter the age of the car as we have some as old as 20 year turning up) please do come along to support thing fun racing over the summer months.
