Yes, Im 100% yours is not on the list sorry Jay

Got a favour to ask - anyone got a spare PT or two ?? Mine has frayed wires coming from the case - i can fix it, but whilst its still working partially, ive sent it off to MRT for a couple of their clones. Which means im PT-less for a couple of weeks.

Balders & Andy have offered to lend me theirs for Sunday, but i cant get up to Caldicot this friday and they are not doing Saundersfoot...

Can anyone pick one up from Caldicot friday off them or lend me a PT, or preferably two if poss as im doing 2 classes ?

ta,

Matt

[Ian F]

We have handouts and I've replaced all the batteries so should be good all day, as there isn't many without pt's I might be able to give you a handout for the day

[Dyna]

Cheers Ian, it looks like Mike is giving his to Paul Knight to bring down with him, so should be ok.... but if theres one or two there on the day spare that might be a good idea just in case

Thanks again.

[Ian F]

Or do you mean power supply to charge??

I'm sure Ian will be along soon with the answer

[Ian F]

I could put a sarcastic answer but won't lol, its a 1/10 electric round and you have to supply your own power

It was the power supply I was questioning and as I have never been there before and I might not have a car for part of day it seemed a reasonable question. I now know I have to go out shopping for batteries etc ready for Sun Thanks

[Ian F]

I don't think there's any outdoor meeting that have 240v supply unless you pit inside, best thing to do is buy a good leisure battery it will prove invaluable for outdoor racing, nothing worst that pushing a car because the battery has been flattened

[Dyna]

Whoops sorry for my reply, i wasnt taking the p*ss, i thought that you thought nitros were running and were asking if electrics were running too....

Yup as Ian says, very rare to find an outdoor track with 240 volt. Best bet is a good battery or genny.

However i took a diferent route.... as i rebuild & run old cars ( real ones ) i have lots of old car batteries ... i need a good battery charger so i brought this last year -

http://www.amazon.co.uk/RING-RSC8-Sm...019275&sr=1-14

I tested it on a 10+ year old Mk3 XR3i battery i had in the garage that was dead as a doornail, topped up the cells with ionised water, and cycled it twice. Put it in the XR3i, and perfect ! Never a problem with it since and holds a full charge nicely. Ive since tried it on my other old batteries, and has worked on every single one of them to a good degree. The guy next door who runs a fleet of hire vehicles brought a couple on my reccomendation, and cant sing its praises high enough.

So if you want a cheap 'lecy suplly for meetings, pop down to ATS/Kwic Fit/National, ask if they have an old high-capacity battery they have taken out of a customers car - they will give it to you for free normally, specialy if you know them - buy the above charger ( or one like it that reconditions and deep-cycles ) for 40-45 quid, and you will never have to worry about buying another charging battery ever again as you can pick up old ones for free... and if you do get a 'dud' battery that really wont recondition, just pop down and get another one.... and you get a great charger for the 'real' car into the bargain

Hope that helps...

Right then booking in has closed, if you book now there will be the late penalty also I only have 1 4wd and 2 2wd space left but there's plenty of space in the truck heat

[DCM]

Will there be a shop attended on Sunday, and is there a van doing coffee and other lovely stuff??

[Ian F]

Don't know about the shop unless paul is bringing spares, food wise as per the wrca site the market is 2 mins away, If anyone is intending on leaving the venue I suggest you drop your race gear off and park your car on the road

[hit5005]

paul is going

[Ian F]

Yeah I got his entry, at the time of posting though he hadn't entered

[JACKOR33]

Big thanks to ian and the rest of the saundersfoot team for a very successful 1st round of the summer regionals
Great weather, good laughs and a very challenging track
Its good to see such a large number of racers supporting the series aswell!

[Ian F]

I'd like to say a big thank you to all the racers that attended today, without you there would be no series, and thanks to axon and reg for the help with running the day, I also have a an xl super dry hoddie left behind
