Question 7 Minute Racing

Thought the 7 minute racing on Sunday just gone was really good and gave the race abit more of a race like feel, as you were able to recover after a crash, i though any way.... anyone else agree/disagree?

Even tho my 3200mAh batteries just lasted.

Andy

its pretty cool. after all the enduro racing i been doing it suits me well. you can get into a groove. how about 6 min qualifiers 8 min finals
5th scale do 15 min quals and half hour finals
half hour. you would need a urinal and a snack machine on the rostrum


think im gonna have to ebay some more saddle packs 5200mhp ones
so i can pit stop during our half hour finals. f1 style

I enjoyed the 7 minutes heats and final like everyone says it gives you cance to catch up when some crazy loon takes you out on the first bend . Yes si I mean you. Although I know I can't blame you your half way to being blind !!

Actually I've changed my mind. There is simply no way Dave and Johnny can cope with longer races without having to roll up on the rostrum. After a long enough race they wouldn't need the steps, they could float down....

and i thought you were a 4wd purist, but you sold out and your getting the tamiya b4 copy eh. granted if its as hard as ya durga (tank) then it may be strong but still ...
surely the scrt 10 hyper 10 or hpi dessert truck would be more suited

in reply to si
install an ashtray and have a designated smoking area of rostron . were racing

Thanks Bud! I know you are a big fan of Graham Norton. At least I assume thats why you have a big poster of him on your bedroom wall.......
