Must agree with Tony on that one. Do just hope the barrow club dosent get pushed out this year after steping up to the mark so late on in the calender last year. Plus what other clubs had donkey's and fun fair rides :P 10 rounds/weekends is way to much. both clases both days simple. Start early and finish late, full day of RC sounds fun to me.

It's a very good track and like Bury it has grip when it's wet.

God knows why the mid-west are not hoisting a meeting there. But we should.

Ill do my God bit then Tony

Its because they didn't ask for a Mid West regional!
I have to say the one regional we had there a few years ago I enjoyed, although a lot of people complained about some of the jumps being to difficult with a 10th scale!

tony12795 · #45 05-01-2013

I think that two meetings were run at Stoke 2wd and 4wd..

One was clockwise and the other anticlockwise, like Southport the track never worked one way but I don't remember which....

Matt good luck at Woksop tomorrow :-)

Got a fond memory of me going over the jump with my x6 and you were marshalling at the end of it. The car hadn't even hit the group and you had shouted its broke

matdodd · #47 07-01-2013

I'm not sure Tony I only remember going clockwise around it when ever ive been.
I think it will be a good addition for you guys, its a fun track

I'd forgotten about that Mat

I think you had a great day if I remember right

Dont hold back as its your Regional series and we want you all to enjoy it

Changes that need to be made in my opinion as others have all mentioned!

North west region is for north west drivers
Both to run on same day as they use to going back to 2009 and previous years.
Tracks wise I'm not bothered but ideally not too far away as per last year!

Hi Guys

Been reading this article and didn't want to say much as this is the first year that I am doing this region. However you do have to remember that some of us are doing nationals and this region persuaded to come to it cos the region seems to combine 2 & 4wd and that allows you to do some extra racing at national tracks, local tracks etc. Be good to get some decissions as got a few things happening this year and need to sort out the racing etc

Sick of getting beaten by Northy? Who I believe lives in Malton - North Yorkshire!

Unfortunately this argument ran itself out last year, any driver from anywhere in the country can race in any region as long as they only score points in one region.

Drivers doing both classes get double the track knowledge unless we set the track to be different for each class. Not an impossible task I think.

Good point Roger!

Spencer Mulcahy · #53 08-01-2013

So we will have to run on separate days then.

I don't think it would take a day to alter. (direction for example)

There’s a counter argument to that. You get used to driving the track with a 2WD and set up then have to change driving techniques to adopt to a 4WD and its set up. Constantly switching between the two can be a challenge compared to someone driving the same buggy all day.

robstanway · #56 09-01-2013

1 day for both please

I should hope he does beat me the amount he races!
I race 3-4 times per year at the moment and there the regionals!
Never touched me at southport has he

When I can be bothered to race more itl be a different story!
