thats what i said, the joys of editing

[James]

is it indoors or outdoors?

[SimonW]

Wot have you done then Charlie ? I can guess that the triples were the first thing dug up, lol. I'll be there on sunday.

Smokin', it's outside m8 but covered pits and rostrum Woo Hoo

[CharlieF]

Nothing dug up, but I believe the track is now much better. Have still to drive it so it is still a belief at the moment. 170M long now, with less hairpin bends.

[jcb]

Looking forward to giving the new layout a go. Less hairpins sounds good especially with a 19 turn, now where did I put that 30 tooth pinion

[JohnM]

What tyres work there?, if I have some in the box I might come and give it a go this week. Will be racing mod though, only 19t I have is in the Hotshot

[CharlieF]

Hi John.
It's a control tyre event - Balistic spikes for the competition - green is best on the rear with blue or green on the front. The idea of this trye was a driver could do the whole series on one set if he wished. Hope to see you Sunday.
Regards

[JohnM]

Thanks Charlie, think I've got some greens somewhere, have to see if the wife will let me out to play now

Be good to see you Sunday, been a long time mate.

[MattW]

If it's not too cold, i may have a run out this sunday!! Not sure where i put the ballistic tyres, or the old 19 turn motor. Must have a look for them before the weekend.

[jcb]

Weathers looking good for the weekend, not to cold and a lot less windy than last time out.

[CharlieF]

Yeah I think we could get the biggest turn-out of drivers yet. I have it on good account that the points leader is definately worried.

[jcb]

Really good days racing today the track changes made for much closer racing I thought.

[CharlieF]

I for one was very happy with the track changes. A lot less marshalling was required and I thought less car breakages too. The track flowed far better.
Otherwise a great days racing, but I would still like to race against only people using the same equipment as me. The series was advertised as a 19turn 2wd series. anything else like 4wd's or mod/brushless motors should be separated to run together. I would like to know where I stand against others running the same stuff as me!
I really dont care who wins but why have a less powerful class and run it alongside fast stuff. I do appreciate that the best driver will win no matter what motor he may be running but it does brass me off to be continually passed by a 4wd mod then have to avoid his next accident!!!! Moan over - I did enjoy myself today
Regards
