My original idea of 7 min races would be just for finals.

I like the workshop idea, but it's a case of pre arranging I think due to people having family commitments in the afternoons.

I think we all need to help a certain junior member at the moment as I know he wants to give up. But as you say it's because it doesn't work week in week out. If he gets some new batteries a couple of us have offered to maintain his batteries for him. I.e. we do the charging, discharging, balancing etc. My only requirement from him is that his car is spotless when he comes racing the following week etc.

However downside of this is that people need to learn and if you do it for them how do they learn? Equally some people don't like to be given help.....

As people have said it's about enjoying a morning / days racing.

If we have some junior members who do invest in some LIPOs I will be expecting them to use a charging pouch
