Snetterton Charity Meeting late May Bank Holiday

Hi guys sorry to barge in on your forum but some of you have said that you will be coming to the meeting, well there's a slight change to the format.
I have decided to change the format for this meeting as I feel a few people have been put off by having to be there for up to 3 days.
Saturday will still be for practice, BUT there will be 2 seperate 1 day meetings. That is to say 1 on Sunday and 1 on Monday. Still the same classes etc but will be 4 rounds of qualifying and 2 finals on each day.
The entry fee remains £0, all I ask is you raise at least £10 for the charities. If you decide to do both days the one contribution will cover both days racing.
I hope this will encourage more of you to come along.
If you can't make it but would like to contribute, you can send any contributions to me, made payable to SPMCC. I promise every penny raised will go to the charities.
For anyone who has not seen or heard about the meeting more info is available on the Snett. website www.spmcc.org.uk. Just look for Indies RC Fest.

Thanks
Hugh Jengine

Hello Jon,
I'm glad it's all going ahead. I'm in - probably only one day though. Happy to race in rubber (if numbers are good) or foam IC if not enough to run rubber. Should be a good day out, as a good number of CMCC members have expressed an interest in competing. CMCC nitro & electric on tour!  

Do you need entry forms from CMCC, or do you have our details already on the computer?
BigD

Well it looks like the weather gods are going to smile on us over the Bank Holiday. So for those of you who haven't decided to come over to Snett. on either Sunday or Monday to support the charities you can't blame the weather.

You guys are my heroes, thanks so much to all who raced today. The 200mm Foam class was CMCC giving it large with Paul B coming out on top. But don't ever ask him to run an engine for you  Scale Rubber was more evenly split with racers from Snett and CMCC. Tris came out on top with Ryk 2nd and Tobie 3rd.
Our new Sirio Evo4 and Maxy Fuel really worked well all day, again thanks to all you guys, see some of you at Cotswold.
Mr.B

Thanks Jon,a good day had by all of us.Glad you raised some decent cash as well.
I'm happy to run anyones engine in for them,to order of course.
Today it was a case of 'needs must',but i have to say it did run really well.
And i'm a 'foam' convert now.
Paul.
Craig.Woods

Excellent day - Dad with his Driving and crazy frogging engine, what a laugh!! he's rather proud of that Trophie !

Maybe not so good with the sunburn tho!....
ast

yeah it was a great day thanks jon , and cmcc for some good laughs , this trophy does look nice  
Craig.Woods

Photo to show everyone what the "Indies" Looked like!
Prettty cool photo aswell!

Mr.B

Very artistic Craig.

Its certainly one that i'll be keeping.
timbo

So how did every one do then. Who got burnt the most?

Tim
Mr.B

All had a good day.
In foam it was,Me then Aston,Simon,Dave,Craig and Nigel(I think thats right)
Ryk drove well in the rubber final getting 2nd and Tobie 3rd

I didnt get burnt,that makes a change.Oh but did sample the Ice cream vans delights 3 times.

Paul.
Craig.Woods

Dave was more interested in the woman in the Ice-Cream van! .. ha,

Sunburn for Team Woods .. was evident...
BigD

Quailifed well and then come the final my engine played silly buggers and kept stopping so done lots of laps to and from the pits trying to start my car.

Engines all day where getting very hot tho
