Default Vintage Series 2011/2012 ??????

I know its a bit early yet, but was just wondering if we were gonna be able to play with our 20 year old buggys for a few months over the coming Winter/Spring? Thought it was a great laugh last year

Dave, no you didn't? How could you?!

Yes there will be another series, just haven't organised it yet.
How about the 1st Friday in the month - making round 1 the 7th of October
6 rounds, best 4 to count.

Yes and yes, 10.5 will be fine, although i'm aiming for a 8.5 this year in the Egress... i need speed to make up for the handling... if the gearbox will take it.... and any old Tamiya/Kyosho hex wheel will fit the Manta Ray, although the Kyosho's push out the width a wee bit so if you win we would have to disqualify you for a too-wide car

I think we're going for the 1st Friday in every month starting in November.
Hopefully enough time for me finish sorting out my Lazer!

Good to hear that you've got a proper buggy tho Dave, somehow I don't think I'll be able to beat you this year now

so is everyone happy for the following dates:
4th November
2nd December
6th January
3rd February
2nd March
6th April

Dependent on how many racers we have, you may or may not be able to run in other classes on vintage nights - I'd like to maintain a minimum of 3 rounds of qually plus finals. If we have too many heats it makes it difficult to achieve. Hope you all understand and are happy with this?

when you say wing mounts, do you mean the uprights from the shock tower and the buttons that go in the wing?.

Slightly off topic but do any of you vintage racers know of anyone who manufactures belts that could be used on a vintage car? I am after some spares for the Tomy Intruder as think they may well just break as soon as i use it as it has been in the cellar for over a decade.

Thanks in advance,

Chris R
