Boughton Round 5
Hi there, might be another wet regional, could it be 6 of 6 this year, bets anyone??
I might go, if so, can anyone tell me what tyre and setup changes are required? I mean compared to the other off road regionals this year (colchester & coastal) which aren't on astro. ie Shocks,springs, camber links etc Any advice would be appreciated |

Can't get to 6 wet meetings out of six, round 4 at Coastal was pretty much dry all day from what I remember.
As for set-up changes, I didn't change anything at all on my Durango from normal.

As John said it can't be a full house of wet meetings as I thought round 4 at Coastal was dry all day too. The weather is supposed to cheer up towards the end of the week and get warmer to so hopefully it will be dry. As for setup a lot may depend on whether it is wet or dry. I didn't change anything on my 22 last time we were there as I felt the car needed to generate a lot of grip. Ended up running Dboots Multibytes on the rear and schumacher green mini spikes on the front and felt these were more consistent than the ballistics. If it's dry I would imagine that going a bit thicker on the oils, a rate up on front spring and stagger ribs and schumacher yellow mini spike on the rear would be the place to start. Might also find that Ballistic Buggy Green spikes work quite well as the astro is quite long pile. It would be worth the trip come rain or shine as the track is really good. Equally it's pretty open as to who will do well as it hasn't been raced on that much by anyone and I believe there have been some new features added since our last visit.

Hmm ok, round 4 was dry, but I felt a few drops!
Thanks for setup advice, long pile astro should be ok I think. I went to coventry last year where imo it was quite short and grip was aggressive and I was like a fish out of water lol. Thicker oil and spring and lay the shocks down a bit to start with I think, but will there be practice??? |

Weird, I didn't think Coventry had tons of grip, you should try Stotfold in the dry if you want to see amazing levels of grip
As for practice, no idea, was last time so......

The astro didn't appear to have as much grip as Coventry when comparing the two, although it was a long time ago I raced at Coventry. Just my two pennies worth, I wouldn't always lay the shocks down if you have too much grip, sometime it makes the car stay too flat and gives little warning when it's going to tip over. Not sure about practice, there was last time, but we need to have this EGM first.

I do know that practice was restricted at Coastal and Colchester because of the weather and to protect the tracks. However, Boughton doesn't have that problem. I'm guessing there'll be practice but that decision will be made by Boughton. (Barry). I'm sure he'll be along soon to confirm or deny.
A race day itinerary we'll be emailed out before the weekend by your loyal custodians.

Could somebody give directions to the venue starting from the Whittington r/about (just after the Murco garage on the left, caravan site on the right) plz ?
Many thanks Edit: If it's along Stoke Road (off the A134), then literally turn right into a field where the Boughton village sign is then i've found it !

For future reference - Anyone who books in and changes their mind and want to add or stop a class, just rebook. It will overwrite your last request. Leaving something UNTICKED says NO to that class, ticking it says YES. So if you entered on Monday for 2WD and SC but on Wednesday you wanted to do 2WD AND 4WD, tick both 2WD and 4WD boxes and resubmit. Simples.
