Good turn out including a new racer with a Losi Eight-e and a 22!! - but its obvious that there is still a load of work to be done to get the track up to standard. Hope to get the track screwed down before Sunday.

I think a "Wall of death" on the hairpin before the table top would help the rythm of the tabletop section. I'll consult with Ian and see what he thinks.

I actually snapped a motor shaft on that jump (or rather, beside it)! Not sure anyone has ever done that before.

I totally agree buggy's are made to jump It's part of the fun

I think there needs to be a balance between 'death' and 'challenging'

If somebody, with more experience than me, can design jumps that are technically difficult BUT don't destroy our cars then I'm all for it.

I understand that having varied jumps pushes the club racers abilities but like all things in life you need a happy balance

Yes that is what I meant. A good balance will be best for all

Not boring and flat
Not with crazy jumps that damage either OR RUIN THE
FLOW OF THE RACING.

OTHERWISE go for it.

Hi Lads,

Have a look at the links below. Most of the jumps seem fairly mild & some are movable so you can change the track very quickly.

The last link has a small wall of death coming onto the straight, looks interesting

Yep,

Have to agree with Tony about the 'wall' I've driven on a few over the years. And in all honesty they do look good, but apart from that nothing else, don't really add much to a track.

The time spent building one would be better spent build more small jumps and rhythm sections.

i agree with you and neil cragg.lol...i love jumps but not flat out ones...too much risk of breaking my car badly....no skill in it for me...just hit it as hard as you can and hope for the best..ive trashed two lrp sxx v2 speedos...thats 400 quids worth,,i put it down to all the heavy landings,nothing could take that..i also think its too dangerous for marshalling and for people watching near it...i got it wrong in practice and just missed some guy...i mean i just missed his head....i wouldve killed him i think...dont know about anyone else but i dont want to live with hurting somebody...
also one poor dude got hit in the face,blood everywhere...imagine if that was a kid...johnny dunn got hit on the side of the head....
i think its time to think of something more suitable and safer.
even move the hump up tight to the first corner...
its not the height its the speed thats the problem...
