RCCAOI AGM 2009

darren.sparky@gmail.com (Darren Hill) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 23:05:57 +0000

The main rule changes for our class at Sunday's Agm were:

There will be 6 National Rounds with best 4 results to count (ties to be decided within your best 4 rounds).

Drivers will be seeded for qualifying based on last years results, a driver that didn't compete in previous year may be reseeded after 1st round if necessary.

Personal Transponders to be fitted to each car entering a National Round, each competitor responsible for operation of PT & checking correct PT number is entered into race computer at check-in,

Penalties will be given for cutting the track during the race or in warm-up laps.

During finals no mechanic to leave the start line once the countdown has started, if car stalls wait for race to start then restart car from pit-lane after all cars have passed.

Tuned pipes list for Ireland will follow a year behind Efra (but exhausts on any new Efra list may also be used) ie Exhausts we purchased for 2009 season will also be legal in 2010. Truggies will now also have to comply with these exhaust rules.

The exact wording and more minor changes will be made available in the new rulebook for the 2010 season

Pete Wells was elected as 1/8th off-road section representative in the National Association.

Thanks to the lads that travelled to Dublin to represent our club at this meeting, it was greatly appreciated.

Final Club Round Re-Run

darren.sparky@gmail.com (Darren Hill) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:01:11 +0000

Due to the changed date of the last club round to facilitate the National Association's AGM with very little notice we had a poor turn-out for the race, so much so the race day could not go ahead, many racers had other commitments and couldn't attend. For this reason and the fact that it was the third round to be cancelled this season we have decided to re-run the last round of TORC'09 on 25th October, we hope all can attend for a great race day to round of the championship

TORC'09 Round 7 27/09/09

RCCAOI AGM & Round 8 GMCC Summer Series

petewells@vodafone.ie (Pete) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:08:52 +0000

The RCCAOI AGM has been scheduled for the 18/10/2009 full details can be found on the RCCAOI website. This clashes with our own scheduled last round of our Summer Series, although we did put forward a protest it was refused due to the availability of the chosen room. With this in mind we have moved our final round of the year from 18/10/2009 to the 11/10/2009 to allow any and all club members to attend the meeting. One final note regarding this meeting. Everyone that is a member of the Galway Model Car Club is also a member of the RCCAOI.

Thanks to the HARD work of the regular workers at the track we are almost ready to host next weeks 'Nationals Round'.

If we'd had more members working over the last three weekends & wednesday's we'd be finished, but we have decided to cancel Torc'09 Club Round 4 and finish the track work.
