WCORCS round 1 Langley May 22nd,&23rd

[INFERNO]

Ok we are under one month away from the opening round of the Western Canadian Off Road Championship Series.
Many of you may not have had the chance to come out to our new track which is almost complete so we welcome you to come to visit our location and hope you will attend the first leg of the Western Canadian Off Road Championship Series. Our track is 720 feet for one complete lap and is made from hard packed clay with 12 foot wide lanes and some high banked corners to make for some high speed racing.We are still finalizing a few touches on the track but are well ahead of schedule in terms of track rediness for the May long weekend.
Come check it out at 36th ave and 208th in the Brookswood community of Langley. Follow 200th from Hwy #1 towards Langley town center all the way to 36th ave.Turn left heading East on 36th and enter the parking lot just before 208th ave.The track is located south of the parking lot behind the bushes.
Also if anyone is so inclined there is a full 18 hole disc golf course in the same park surrounding the track.Feel free to grab a frisbee and hit a few holes.
I would like anyone that is going to show up to pre-register with name , class, frequencies (min of two) and car number (if applicable).
Registration will be $30 for first class and $20 for each additional class.Preregistration is closed as of Thursday Night and there is a $10 late sign up fee on Friday.No sign-ups will be accepted on Saturday or Sunday unless the circumstance is warranted.
If you wish to sign up thru email just cut and paste my email and contact me or use the contact number to reach me from the poster. [e-mail]

Details you all should know...for many of you this is a refresher.

Rules additions:

1) No home made tires for 1/8th scale buggies. Tires must be purpose manufactured for 1/8th.

2) All tracks to have a 10lb fire extinguisher on site.

3) Radio impound mandatory at the Final race.

4) All racers must make one out of province trip to qualify for the series championship. The final will count as your out of province race. So for this year all alberta racers must make one race out of province to be eligible for the series, while BC's trip will be the final held in Red Deer. The following year all BC racers must make a trip out to AB, while AB only has to attend the final race.

5) Qualifying will now be done using the Qual points system. No more rocket round qualifying.

6) Race format will now be timed races, not laps. All qualifying races are 45 min for the A main. At the Final race A mains are 60 Min long.

7) Minimum number of series races needed to qualify for a championship are 2. A minimum of 4 cars are needed to count for points at any given race. MT was allowed to go into the final this year with only one series race to qualify for the title. If there are not enough MT's next year, the class will not count for a title.

Any car body that wins a concourse at a race may not be re-entered at another race for concourse. The winning cars will have their photo taken and posted so that there is a record of the winning cars.

9) All series races will have identical race start times. The times are as follows:
Saturday morning Drivers meeting at 9:30 am
Saturday Qualifying starts at 10:00 AM. Min 3 qualifiers.
Sunday qualifying starts at 9:00am
Mains will start at noon.Subject to slight changes depending on qualifying time.

Sorry, But CamRC is holding a trophy race. I've made plans to race there

Thanks anyways...

[INFERNO]

No worries, this is not a must for anyone to race but if you want to take part in the series and you are local then this is a prime opportunity.I hope you have fun at the Cam race. ;D

But then again, In order to truly take part in the points you will have to race at least two races. One in BC and one in Alberta. Luckily the Final is in Red Deer and will count for the Alberta race. If you miss the Langley race you could always Race at the Kelowna, Kamloops, or Quesnel race.

I'll be dragging a few people up to the Kelowna Race and the finals. Right Klownz....

It's too bad that the local WCORCS race is the one I'll be missing. I'll be at the CamRC race too.

[INFERNO]

Ouch.

[Wintermute]

I'm not sure if that ouch is because I have hurt you with something I have said or if it is because I had to choose between the WCORCS event and the CAMRC event.

I'm sure other people have had to make a decision as to which event to race on the May long weekend. I have simply chosen to attend the CAMRC event because it is for the one weekend and the WCORCS event is a point Series. I can still attend another BC race and the final to compete in it.

It is unfortunate that the langley WCORCS event conflicts with another local event but these things happen. Maybe next year the Event's will not conflict.

I'd like to think I could go to out of town races, but with my job, I can't take weekends off totally.

there's no way I could consider driving all thursday night, then driving across BC, to drive an rc all day, get a little sleep, drive rc's all day again, then drive my real car home so I could work the next day. I'd end up an icbc statistic.

Add to that, the only rc I have would be illegal in a "sanctioned" trophy race, so I guess I will be chasing the big mt's with my little hpi may weekend (or just maybe, the big mt's will be chasing my little hpi haha)

I wish my camera was still working. Got my f350 painted and mounted up now. gotta love 1 color paintjobs hehe

[chucky]

I agree with Pipe way too much travelling time and for what?(bragging rights).I`ll race at Cams race and brag to all the locals.(wishfull thinking)

[Wintermute]

I never thought about if my buggy would be Legal in a WCORCS match. I think I might be out too. but I am driving for three other people and we already have a place to stay in Kelowna and Red Deer. I know that we will be well fed in Kelowna. ;D (Right Plasma Rocket)

[Dr. Paint]

Aren' t we forgeting a few people that were also present at the feeding party?

Mugen Boy and myself and maybe Antony will be going too..make sure you talk to your relative in adwance...we may need (nevermind, WE NEED) a place to stay overnight.

[Wintermute]

I'll have to check. I'll get back to you about the food/lodging.

[Mugen Boy]

i agree with seb as long as it isnt to much trouble it would be awsome, man just the food would be worth the trip

[Wintermute]

It's all set up. The accommodations are all set up. There is enough room for everyone. (and there should be good eatin too.) You might have to bring a sleeping bag and pillow. and an air mattress too but the carpet downstairs is really soft.

I'll be taking the 18th off. I think Klownz, Flibble, Me and Plasma are heading up on the 17th after work. (Hey plasma, book off the 18th.) You can come up then too or Anytime after.) I'll E-Mail Seb the info.

Well back on the topic of round one, the race went well and people had a blast.As thought the rain from Fri evening had us sopping up a mess for Saturday but Sunday we were ready to go.A good soaking Saturday morning seemed to do it for the whole day Sunday as not one bit of track maintenance was needed for the entire race.
Five hot classes competed for points and trophies; 1/8th buggy, gas truck, unlimited monster, mod truck and mod buggy.Mod classes it was decided would be allowed to run brushless motors but no other modifications were being allowed ie. 7 cells or Li Poly.
Many people from the community came by to watch some of the action and really enjoyed the races and fun that seemd contagious throughout the pits.
Look for more races in the near future at the Langley track as our schedule is to run two weeks from this past weekend since the on road group has the timing equipment every other weekend.

So we'll have the lap system every two weeks??? Thats so cool! I was very very happy with the race in Langley, even though my shock shafts kept bending! :(Going to have that prob fixed by next race! I won a transmitter bag! Thats a cool prize, and now I've got a safe place for my controller! ;D It was my first nitro race ever, and I gotta say that it was way better than the Cloverdale Rodeo! Even though by the end of the day I wasn't feeling so **** hot! Damn sun is brutal when its in full force!!
