Anyway, first round of the Scottish Champs this weekend at the Dunfermline Club, and I have to say I'm really looking forward to it. Weather forecast is rubbish for the day which is a total bummer, so it looks like it's going to be a bit damp.
Never raced the car at this track before, so I've set it up pretty neutral. It's a mix of grass and astro (and mud, probably). Quite bumpy with no huge jumps.
So, a proper outdoor dirt track at last. Let's see how it goes!

Been a while since I posted on here, so here's a quick update.
I have now run the car at three Scottish championship meetings. For the first two the car was pretty reliable and it was just my rusty thumbs that were to blame. (B Finals). My pace is improving all the time and I have to say the car is now lovely to drive.
Reliability is an issue though. It's probably the cars age that's causing the problems now, as I'm now starting to pop ball joints too easily. But the car is now super fast and handles bumpy tracks well.
45w front shock, 55wt rear.
10000 at front diff 2500 wt rear.
6.5 t motor and 22t pinion.
I know there are other Casters out their. Let's hear from you!
