Blackpool Club - Now With Added Buggies

[MrSlow]

Lee, I think we would like to, but it will depend on the split that we get.

For the first week, we will almost certainly be running 2wd & 4wd together.

[Gmcelroy]

Wow, the finished track looks very impressive and I like the natural braking point at the end of the straight

I'm looking forward to trying it out next Saturday, well done on creating such a professional looking setup.

[Staxman]

Have you taken your car around the track yet Lawrence
Im guessing the ramped corner works slightly better than the bare wall

Chris

[MrSlow]

No, not had chance to have a proper run yet, Chris.

We've just had a quick blast to check the ramps are okay.

The construction crew are meeting up tomorrow night to finish off and take some photos, so I'll have a go then.

I'm definitely hoping that the ramped turn will be more forgiving than the wall
I really need to learn how to use the brake.......


Gmcelroy - thanks for your comments, I'll pass them on to the rest of the guys.
We are really excited about Saturday too. It will be good to see you there.


Lawrence

[MattK]

Looking great Laurence.
Won't be able to make the opening.
But good luck

[Staxman]

I won't be able to make next Saturday, but I will certainly be there the Saturday after
Im looking forward to it, it looks fantastic

What tyres are we allowed to run?
Are foams allowed

[MrSlow]

Cheers Matt

Chris, yes you can run foam tyres if you like.
Have you bought yourself some?

[MrSlow]

After a blast round the track last night we have made a couple of adjustments.

We've removed the rumble strip for now (until we make something a bit more tyre friendly), and we have added an extra piece of wood to the ramped turn to make it less steep on entry.

Also, we have pit tables set up for around 36 people, but we only have 20 chairs.
So if you are coming along and you have a folding chair or similar, please can you bring it with you just in case

[Staxman]

So does the track flow well

[Jonesy]

What tyres are you allowing then on Saturday? Will mini-pins be ok to use?

Andy

[MrSlow]

Chris, the track is great.
Only my driving skill is holding me back

Andy, mini pins are ideal. That's what most of us will be using. Some people have asked about using foams and they are fine too.

We removed the rumble strip as it would have ruined foam tyres in it's current form. A revised version will be ready for week 2.

Thinking about making the trip up on Saturday with the K1 and I'll bring along the EMB-1 Micro as well for a blast around!

Hopefully see you about 3pm!

[MrSlow]

Excellent
