Reference photo of the track from a previous year:

I cant wait for this, im hoping this will be my first taste of 1/10th nationals. Drove the Talywain track 4-5 times last year and loved it.

is this another bloody astro track or is an old school grass track:confused:
don't get me wrong i'm not against astro tracks it's just there all new to me:blush:

astro, the only old school grass national is oswestry, the others are all mainly astro

not just any astro this is golf putting green astro!!!

this sunday we are having a pre-national warm up meeting £5 for the saturday and sunday with free camping!!!!!

Will the Track be open for practice Saturday? Didn't read very clear.
Ta, Matt

yes mate

Cheers, chaps. See you on Saturday! :thumbsup:

What's the earliest we can get in on Saturday, chaps? 07.00 :thumbsup:

yes if you want to.

Hey Matt, will it just be open track on Saturday, or will it be timed. I can only make the Saturday so ill be bringing a 3 cars with me.lol (if its open track) otherwise ill be sticking to a sensible 2.

open track on Saturday, just pay in cafe before entering.

Any pics of the new track?

I'll be there saturday morning till 1pm before i have to go to work.
Will there be mains power available Matt as i might come up on the bike and the old transit batteries a bit difficult to fit on the Triumph :woot:

Sorry no pics yet, and yes there will be electric at track side on Saturday morning

Hope the two trick jumps out on the back of the circuit have been sorted for those of that aren't superstars.;)

They were a bit tricky last year...even for some of the superstars!:woot:

I believe they are now one big table-top.

Nothing wrong with them mate, i hit them every time last year.........








.....Mostly nose first :D

I enjoyed the challenge though :thumbsup:

yes it is :thumbsup:

Are we going to be using the big table top at the back and the section on the left for the Nationals? :thumbsup:

Looking good though! Can't wait now lol

Had an awesome day at Taly today. The new track is amazing, a real credit to all the guys involved.

Grip levels were consistent and the profile of all the jumps were perfect. We run the track in both directions and it was good either way.

Cant wait to come watch the National there in a few weeks, im sure you'll all love it.

the 4 jumps on very left side of track and the large table top at rear are on the 1/8th section of the track.

Had an hour last Saturday to get a base set up on the 22 and it was a lot smoother than last year and better flowing. Enjoyed it and looking forward to the National.
Just a quick note that although i'll be racing all weekend i will have the shop stuff with me for the event. If anyone needs anything give me a buzz and i'll get it bagged up ready for the Saturday morning.
Any other traders going so the drivers know who's about when the usual "incidents " mysteriously occur:wub

I couldnt make it to Tally last wkend :(-just wondering is there any practise etc on this wkend?

I would guess that the track has now got to be closed this close to the National.

I am 3rd reserve for 4wd, I may be racing after all :thumbsup:

Track now shut

As always im looking forward to talywain i love going there :) :thumbsup:
the track looks awsome :)

I'm in for 4wd :thumbsup:
I just need another 6 people to drop out to get me into 2wd too!

Damn...forgot you can't race on a National track the wk end before..( I believe ). Cheers for the reply :thumbsup:

I hope you'll be driving like a pro Pete, cos i'm getting scared now that i may be in your heat :woot:

By the way, 2wd for club tomorrow please :wub

So the 1/10th National won't be having any 'Jumps' as such then? Just bumps...:eh?:

Dont worry i'll be in the bottom heat paul, oh wait we may be in the same heat then :p

4wd, is the control tyres, Schumacher and Ballistic mini-spikes?

Yeah, Schumacher Mini-spikes and Ballistic Buggy Mini-Spikes. They are controlled for both front and rear (driven axles)

I believe the issues of the Silver Sch Mini's not being commercially available at Robin Hood National has now been solved, therefore they will be legal too...

Thats cool, shouldn't need to acquire tyres for the weekend then, woot!

Only the rear axle boss ;)

You is correct boss, I was thinkin EFRA for some reason. That's why you're the maximum best tech dude we've ever had.

LOL

Others may not agree :woot: Feeling the :wub though, thanks.
