Straight in front of rostrum again please!

Much like the last one - fast, flowing, with plenty of sensible jumps but not an ostacle course, no matts on corners that move around except in straight lines.

Default sensible style

straight diagonal across middle was great and table top jump near rostron it was tricky over by back wall. but simaler to last time with the wide (bumby matts ) section and flowing track just bring jump nearer so we can fly. and diagonal straight i thought worked well .



or just light the fires and order the cheerleaders. i will get hold of evil knievels old jumps and were on

+1 for the long straight. I think it needs the long straight, a nice big tabletop just like the last round and the bumpy section before the tabletop worked really nice too. I'm sure if those features are put in some different places you'll be well on the way to another winner of a track!

Bit of a sketch...... Discuss, modify, criticize it!

my fella Durango racers have advised me how to get the diffs right - rebuilt em last night an they are now smooth as butter n I can't see them leaking

probably a good idea to bring tissues still though

you're going to need something to dry yr tear when I kick yr asse on the track

Hi guys a bit off topic, but I booked in and was tenth in reserves I've just checked and I'm now 5th, do I have a chance of getting in on the day from this if I turn up? Quite a long drive if I don't get in that's all.
Thanks sam
