Snwy Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Hi all After being in touch with the Czech Rally Championship they have said there more than happy to have a UK team or two in there championship, and i was wondering if anyone else would fancy putting together a team to enter? the costs will be roughly around Edited September 18, 2013 by Snwy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munted-alfa Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yeh sounds like fun, id be interested in UK or regional rallys. Problem is distance for me personaly but one set of rules for the whole country and have regional events through out the year for Region Champs and perhaps one big UK rally event for the UK Rally Championship.

Snwy Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) guess that's a no for the championship lol if no one wants to do the championship then how about a one off event next June July time? mixture of stage rally an special stages? it will give us all a change to meet up an show of the cars that weve all worked hard to set up for rallying? and if there's enough interest then maybe look at starting championship up?

KarlP Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I'd definitely be game for something over here I assume it would be 1/10 based? Would you be thinking like the Czech rally events or a Rallycross type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snwy Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 was think Czech style but with rally cross thrown in for the special stages. yeah would be 1/10 based but again depends as the hpi shell is only 205mm wide I think and loads of people have the flux version so maybe let them in as most 1/10 shell works on 190mm or 200mm. if any one with a hpi wr8 could let me know so we can see if can put them in would be appreciated.

KarlP Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hmm I'd have to finally sort a 1/10 one out as my current one is 1/9ish, certainly be interesting to do, where would you be thinking of holding it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snwy Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 don't know at min will have a look at the web tomorrow to find some where an will post up couple of ideas, I'll try an work out half way between places I have read people are from an work from there.I'll sort it after been out in morning.

Snwy Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) done some research today online via meetways.com, & found the halfway point between certain areas & then work out a halfway point. Here's the findings Scotland- Glasgow - Edinburgh = Whitburn England - ST.Ives - Broadstairs = Warminster So then did a search up the country and found the halfway point, findings below Whitburn - Isle of Wight via Warminster = Knutsford, Cheshire. So how bout holding the event at Delamere Forest distance from Knutsford is 16.4 mile travel time 25 minutes. What do people think cause if there happy for that location will start putting plans together for the forestery commission. There is plenty of campsites and inns around the area to suit everyone's budget. Edited September 17, 2013 by Snwy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qatmix Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Might be interested if its at delamere forest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snwy Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 yeah should be its just about finding if there is enough interest after looking at the forestry website for events I have to put together a business plan on the event, an sort out insurance which don't mind doin if there is the interest from people to want to do it. Will roughly work out some rules an regs to put up tomorrow so people can put there input in on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlP Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I don't mind traveling to where ever for the right event, would it be worth checking out any locations first to see if there's anywhere suitable? Also if there's any costs involved i am sure a few would chip in if it got the event off the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snwy Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 I don't mind travelling either as from near Newcastle. yeah I agree if people know anywhere then great as any suggestions welcome. The only reason said Delamere Forest was cause its well sign posted or should be for people out of area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
130rsphil Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Sounds like it would be a lot of fun, think I'd just be making up numbers though - Captain Slow here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snwy Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 hopefully it will be a lot of fun if we can get enough people interested, an so long as u have fun thats all tht matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munted-alfa Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Does sound fun but to far away for me, but looks a good location for people down south to get to so good luck. In saying that is their anyone up north in Scotland interested in getting something started if so post on here and perhaps we can meet up some where.

Snwy Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) If u do manage to sort one out in Scotland I'd travel upto that one swell as love Scotland lol. It's just going to be a one off event to see if there is enough interest to start something bigger, I'm goin to look at starting a rc rally club up in the North East area anyway this was just a project to keep my mind goin while recovering from an op. Where about in Scotland would you be lookin at? Edited September 19, 2013 by Snwy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munted-alfa Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Dont know just wanted to see if anyone else was interested first, if so then it would depend on where people live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snwy Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Exactly same as me lol that's why tried goin between Scotland an Isle of Wight, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snwy Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 The way i was thinking of running the event in Deleamere Forest if people are happy with that location is 1st day Start 0900hrs Stage Rally 0930hrs Service Stage Rally 1030hrs Service Stage Rally 1130hrs Service/ Dinner 1230hrs-1330hrs Special Stage 1400hrs start Special Stage 1600hrs start End 1700hrs 2nd Day Start 0900hrs Stage Rally 0930hrs Service Stage Rally 1030hrs Service Special Stage 1130hrs Special Stage 1230 hrs Presentation 1330 hrs End 1400 Hrs The timings are rough but just to give people a general idea and let them have there input in on it. As for disabled people who want to take part but are thinking they can't then they can nominate someone to run the stage rally with there car and the timings get awarded to the person who's car it is then they take over for the special stages which are run around a track and static driving position. Special Stage Events Are run by the timings so it would be person running 1st and 2nd to run together, 3rd and 4th, 5th and 6th etc. How does this sound to people? who might be interested to take part in the event?

130rsphil Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'd be up for something in Scotland, I'm sure there's folks from Dundee and Arbroath on here too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munted-alfa Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Yes i think your right their would be interest in Scotland to do something,but my problem is i dont have time to organise something myself nor go hunting for a suitable location which is going to be the major stumbling block. But i would be interested in teaming up with someone else and getting together to see about organising something, eg a rally/rally cross bash rather like the nitro boys do down at Bathgate and their numbers are growing every month. Rather than trying to organise a big rally event i think the way forward would be bashing to get numbers up and go from their. Step forward anyone if your interested in volunteering.

Snwy Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 depends where about your looking as in for bashing when lookin at local areas around by me I've been looking at using mountain bike trails and walking trails with my car. which work well in essence just pesky mountain bikers lol.
