I found the coventry track okay, but it was uber bumpy, and I found the astro very slippery... (I think this might have something to do with the amount of nitro oil/fuel soaked into it). Like Stobe says, it is better anti-clockwise, mainly to do with coming onto the straight when run clockwise, and the double jump which is very inconsistent, also when run clockwise.

Anyway, I won't be going because I can't afford it after Worksop, its my mothers 60th and also because of not enjoying regionals as much anymore.

hi guys first time doing regionals and i was wondering if you knew the postcodes or something to get to the tracks
cheers will

Have a look on here http://www.brca-midwest.co.uk you should find what you need :thumbsup:

Mark te regional might be run on the grass track both where last year ca anyone confirm?

A

From what I have been told its on the astro!

o yay :thumbdown::thumbdown:

A

finally ash we agree as do most:thumbsup:

Astro track .... great for me ....:thumbsup:

Astro track is bol%$x !!!!!! whats the point in having a perfectly good grass track with some nice features when your gonna use the most random astro track around ...:thumbdown:

Wraggy.... Ur right. Cant say more!

Will there be an entry list available to view. Not received reply back of phil.

Entry list will be posted on Wednesday night.

if it's raining heavily all week, then i'd probably side with the astro track, just because i hate cleaning the cars of mud from grass tracks.

it hasn't rained much so far this week though :thumbsup::thumbsup:

yeah i agree stan if its thats bad where is just gonna be mud then we have no choice but the ground isnt that bad around here and im only 20 miles away so grass would be better ...

Completely disagree...... :thumbdown:

If it p!sses down in the days leading upto the meeting, I'd hope we run on the grass. The astro seems to hold water, where as god's wonderful grass lets it drain away.

On the other hand if it's been good all week and rains (not torrential) on the day, then either track would be OK.

I'm sure Coventry will do a great job.

I also know they are erecting a new fence around the track to help reduce the side winds.

you would !!!:woot::woot:
i dont mind Mud Phil , i was brought up racing on the stuff remember ...
just that know one seems to want to do it now days , so i was siding with the majority ... :p

Hi Guys
I'm not 1 for speaking out of turn :lol:
we work very hard at cov prepareing 3 tracksfor little or no reward.

officially the grasstrack is closed till the end of april, if condition improve the decision will be made on saturday afternoon as to which track.
While i agree the astro track is challenging for 1/10th electric, we race other classes who want bigger and more jumps to challenge there skills (See Track 3 300mtrs long with 4ft high jumps etc)

There will be improvements to the astro track during the summer:thumbsup:.

im not having a go Mark and thanks for your response, just my obvservations

Don't think it really matters which track we race on. Both are good tracks and the tyre choice is the same for both.

Obviously the weather could play a part in how the day pans out, but I'm sure Mark and the Coventry team will put on a great meeting.

I was talking from a control tyre point of view.

I think Sleigh's right Wraggy. If dry, yellow schueys for both tracks. If wet, ballistic green spikes for both tracks (possibly schuey greens).

or TR32's......mmmmmmmmmm!!

i will keep quiet then ...:cry:

if you know what's good for you, you will!!!

....kiss the guns:woot:

nobody for one minute is knocking the club bill and the guys do a mega job which is appreciated by everyone just the astrotrack is a little tired and after summer improvements, maintaince im sure will be tip top and yes the 8th track does look awesome :thumbsup:

Sleet and snow for Sunday apparently,:(
I think I would prefer the Astro track.

YAY SNOW!!!!!!

A

Ash you want to race in the snow???? crazy!!!

If you do you might have to wait till the rest of us have left!!!
