Round 1 Winter Series 30th Oct 2011 All day meeting

[SteveB]

The plan to change the design totally and advance some features, our Torch main member base is the average racer and would not benefit with a too challenging track in relation to its features. We have a major change installed that will make the track quite different, all will be revealed on Sunday.

The main aim is always to keep the balance between all levels of abilities. Remember if we dont get it right, its easy to change for next time.

The Torch AGM is on the 11th November at the Chase Pub in Waltham Chase. All members are welcome to come and join in with adding any opportunities for 2012.

Details of AGM will be sent shortly to by email.

Thanks Steve

Having only raced once at torch, after a 22 year away from the track, i have to say it was great, jumps a little iffy at 1st, but after a few heats i was jumping them easily. Maybe a little to enthusiastically at times thou, oooops......
So keep it up, I am sure it will be great no matter what changes are done.

See you all sunday, now just need to decide if its a 2wd cougar, or Martins old cat sx3 that gets a blast..... hmmmmm????

[Stuweatherman]

Have there been any thoughts on having an online booking in section on the torch site to help aid booking in?? If linked with say paypal or something people could book in for the series and pay upfront thus speeding up the start of the day.

Also could mean provisional lists could be produced before the event.

Thanks Steve

A good plan.
All hail the triple! ..

Yeah the online booking in could be a good idea, or even a Email to send.

:Name
:Class
ate

If not raced there before.
:PT
:Car

And that then could give you guys more of a idea on how many will be showing up, and could aid in speeding up booking in. I know some people do it already, but may be worth pushing people to do that more? It could be a slightly cheaper route than, getting people to pay online and so on.

Either way, big pat on the back to the TORCH Committee you guys have done a sterling job. And it has changed drastically since I 1st came last year I think it was. And can only get better!

Are you racing the 410 v3 this weekend Mikey?. How are the new cars going?.

[mikeyscott]

Haven't got one and haven't finished my 210.


511 this weekend then 2wd I think . Failing that xxcr this weekend

Cancelled it

[Chris-S]

If the weather is playing ball, I'll be there with the 210.

[ASKay]

I was thinking about using my 210, but it will depend upon spares and wheels being available, so unlikley at present.....

so 4WD for me I am guessing....

[TARTMAN]

If its raining, is it cancelled? and is it heavy rain or a little shower etc>?
whats the policy, dont want to drive all the way if its cancelled?

[Crazy L]

I'd like to come down but as some of you will be turning up trackside, Myself and Lei will be turning in after a long nights clubbing in london at the Torture Garden Halloween Ball

[TARTMAN]

Its a sort of see what its like the day before and go from there then.......

[jamiekerr14]

Yes, best bet is to keep checking on here on friday/saturday and see what the decision is. Unless its raining on sunday.. TORCH is very good for drainage. And can be pritty dry within 30 mins of so.. but everyone will have to play it by ear..

[mikeyscott]

Anyone got a spare 210 shell lol
