Hi Buggy Racers!! I would really appreciate your opinion on this idea
Hi Buggy Racers!! I would really appreciate your opinion on this idea. To be honest even if I get 5 of you say do it we probably will as I myself want to race my Durango in this format and my vintage Sand Scorcher. I think it will be a good laugh. Shall we do it or not? Short Course will end up as total carnage i'm sure :-)
Thoughts please :-) http://www.ardentracing.com/speedfreaks/index.php |

I've got no problem with the lack of jumps, etc, but imo foams and additives are a huge no-no. They're buggys, not touringcars!

Another no from me i'm afraid John,
Dates clash with other 'proper' offroad series' in the midlands throughout winter, so not even tempted plus i didn't particularly like buggys on foams 15yrs ago... did bring back memories for a second... but not favourite racing ones! too much of a comprimise with massive set up differences and faffing about glueing and trueing plus getting additive set up right! do foams exist for buggys anymore? Best of luck with it though |

It'd be a no from me too, sorry. It was quite a commitment to be competitive there last year as practice was open on saturday afternoon so most of them i stayed in a hotel too.. I wouldn't do that for just a flat track on foams.

I think you have lost sight of what 1/10th offroad is all about. In my opinion, if we wanted to race on a flat surface, we would race touring cars.

As you will remember I was very enthusiastic about your off-road series last year because you built nice tracks to race on with good drivable features on a good surface with a large area (the only place I could find last year where all of that was true). It allowed me to work out some setup changes etc. which helped this year and was really looking forward to running at your venue again this year.
I am afraid though that I would rather go to my local TC club with my TF6 than travel getting on for 2 hours to run a buggy on foams, sorry. I hope you do an off-road series, even a single event, and I will be there! |

Cool guys, appreciate the feedback, keep it coming and i'll make a choice early next week. There will be a buggy event at Ardent this year but will most likely be a weekender rather than a series. Good feedback though so thanks :-)

Wouldnt partake due to the use of foam's and additives (costs). You dont need to have mega jumps and ramps, just 2 or three would do . Simple set tyre would suffice.

Don't worry, i'm not taking any comment to heart, just throwing the idea out there to see if/what sticks. It will be like Marmite to most people, either love it or hate it. It will bring back a lot of memories running buggies on foams, just wish you could still buy tracktight :-) That smell will take me back to 1989 in an instant :-)
Keep the comments coming, good or bad :-) |

john, technically, you might still be able to - it is still theoretically available, just under a different name, from a different supplier

I did one of the rounds last year in the coldest ever conditions, enjoyed it in a way but would never go for a flat track! Had nothing but bother with mega interference, wrecked my day and the poor Marshall on the jump at the end of the track! Kept jumping into him mid glitch
There's too many good winter rounds to go to IMO |
