Hi,
I am visiting BPR. I am in Costa Mesa from the 21st to the 11th of Feb.
I am bring with me my five Eurosports, three 1/24 and two 1/32. I had them built for the ISRA worlds in the UK. But due to work I never raced. I would love to race them while I am in the US.
Could anyone tell me what night they race at BPR and what type of plug I will need to put on my controller.
I also have two Open G12 but I don't think they meet the GT12 rules. One is a Horky chassis with a six-mag Kelly can and a Koford arm. The other is a Tragillio six-mag Pro Slot can and arm.
If there is no racing I would like to meet up with some of the Eurosport racers.

Glyn,
There is a GT12 and 1/24 Euro race this Saturday. The raceway should open around 7:00 AM but call to make sure. I think tech will open for GT12 at 10:45 and the race will start at 11:00 AM.
Hope you can make it look forward to meeting you.

Steve,
Uh... Glyn says he'll be "in Costa Mesa from the 21st to the 11th of Feb." That is, from Jan 21 to Feb 11.
Doesn't sound to me like he'll be able to make it to BPR on Saturday, Jan 17.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

Hi,
Thanks. Looking forward to seeing BPR. What plug will I need on my controller ?
Looks like I will miss racing but I will still have a run round. I have never been on King or MTT.
If any one is interested I may sell some of my Eurosports. All were new in October 08 and none have done a meeting only practice.
All have 250 or 300 muti mag voki set ups ( I have never lost a magnet in a Voki set up)

I'm racing the best here at BP but Father time is much better then all of us united.
Not a snob in this hobby, after all it will be gone, if we keep on going like we do, and I have nothing to prove so I keep on posting because I have nothing to gain.
It's our duty to remember the past so we can have a future.

There are 3 circular "Eye" bolts coming out of the drivers panel to which you attach individual alligator clips to. The bolts are approximately 1/4 inch thick and 3/4" around.
Perhaps we can organize a "fun race" with some of the guys around your schedule? We'll work on it.

I think Tim would be interested in those cars and he would be the right one for it.
