Ardent Raceway Summer Series - Earn your Club Money, Race at our Series!

Ardent Raceway Summer Series
A Series that earns your club CASH!!!

What is it?

A fun indoor carpet summer series that enables you to earn cash for your club.

That's right!!, by racing at the series you will be earning cash for your club. £2 goes to your club for every round you attend* and if you win an A-Final you earn another £10 for your club**, If you win the series a further £20 for your club***.

Money is sent to them in the form of a cheque at the end of the series and the club that earns the most over the series gets their money DOUBLED!!

For Example, if 20 people from your club attend all 7 rounds, and you also get 2 A Final wins in 2 classes at all 7 rounds, your club would get £420! If your club is the highest earner (i.e. the most committed, the best attended and the best drivers), they would get this doubled to £840!!

(*Your club must be on the BRCA club list and have registered themselves by emailing [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] requesting information about this scheme, if you are not a member of a club then you can select either an RC forum of your choice or a charity of your choice, whovever you choose is kept private)

Please Note:

> Classes may be combined when racing.
> No minimum entries, get booked in!!
> Maximum number of racers per day is 150 so entry limits will be adjusted to reach this maximum level, at the moment we don't know which classes will be popular and which ones won't.
> Practice is available the Saturday before and for those in the series it will be just £5 for the entire day and FREE to U14s (must be with a paying adult and racing in the series).

Important

Entry levels will be continually monitored, if any class has a high reserve level while another has a low level, the entry levels will be adjusted and existing reserve entries promoted to confirmed or reserve, based on the number of driver entries firstly then entry date and timestamp. Don't feel put off to enter just because you may go on reserve, if there are no reserves the entry levels will not adjust! If you are on reserve and do not get to race your entry will be fully refunded. No refunds will be given for confirmed entries cancelled during the 7 days prior to the meeting unless there are reserve entries to take your place, if there is you will get a full refund. The booking-in closing for all meetings will be 9:00pm on the Saturday before the meeting.

Summer Series - Update. Due to the number of requests by people to book in but not through Central booking I have decided to open the flood gates and allow you to book in on the day (This Sunday 10th April). The use of Central booking was to make the management of race control easier and as you all know I am a racer and would rather spend an evening preparing my car than sat in front of RC-Timing. But as many of you have never used it before and are either refusing to use Paypal or having trouble creating an account please feel free to turn up and book in on the day.

Hope to see you Sunday for the start of what will be a fun and relaxed series racing against friends.
