Sunday 12th

We are racin this sunday, we r on the dirt this week, but as always weather permitting.
Would not mind grass as I enjoyed the new layout (thank u jcb n dave) still needs a few little tweaks, rumble strip on corners ( idea- broom handles hammered deep into grass and pinned at ends. About 6 in a fan shape, on a corner). And bring a broomhandle day is born..

I should be there. My car is all pretty and new looking again, even has some new bling

I shall reserve the right to not be there at the last min though the next couple of weekend might be a bit hectic for me.

They tried something similar at a national a few years back and ended up taking them out after the first round of practice as it was too random with them lifting up and people getting stuck in the pins. Not saying it wouldn't work at NBC, but I think with the ground being sandy it would lead to the track cutting up a lot in that area too.

I won't be at this one, but will be there at the end of the month

Hmm well there is another way of making a rumble strip

Now I think we may need a plan B this weekend, the trmp is not getting high enough and I suspect both tracks will be snow bound still,have to wait and see.

So plan B, better see if kellers is still going indoors on sunday night?

Would this mean i'd want to be gluing up the yellow mini pins i bought by mistake

(& on the front too ?)

How about we clear the snow n race on d FROZEN dirt... or ROLLER the snow and ICE RACE...
yes to mini pins 4 kellers, you can use normal spikes, but pins are better.

Pins are the way to go indoors on the rear. As for the fronts it's down to personal choice between pins or stagger ribs depending on how much steering you want. I'd glue up pins and cut the outer spikes off first, but that's just me.

Thanks Jon, so mini pin yellows for the rear & "slim" (ie, 2wd) mini pin yellows on the front

I just know that if i get some ready that'll be sure to melt the snow, dry the track & not end up using them, lol.
