Results from the Regional Finals - 5th/6th October 2002
Worksop Model Car Club
 10th Electric Off Road
 
Race Data 4WD 2WD
Report by Brian Hopps.
  The Regional Championship, formerly the F2 Finals has been held at Holbeach for the past few years, this time it was the turn of Worksop Radio Car Club to hold the last outdoor event of 2002. The track is multi surface, and the WRCC team laid out a challenging and interesting course on both days. The dry weather had continued all weekend and tyre choice was almost exclusively Schumacher yellows. The grass areas were cut short, and with parts of the track getting fairly rough by the end of the weekend, worn tyres seemed to work ok, making the event an economical one.

On behalf of all the drivers from the North East Region a big thank you to all the BRCA Officials for running some superb events this year (and keeping us amused at times into the bargain).
