Ledbury Summer Series

[gordy]

Hi Guys we've got some 10th only dates up for the Ledbury summer series, additional to this buggies will still be run on club days.

1/10 Only Series - Electric 2wd /4wd + Trucks
24 May 1/10 Series (Sat of Bank Holiday)
08 Jun 1/10 Series
07 sept 1/10 Series
21 Sept 1/10 Series

Please get your entries in ASAP with Doug ; contact@ledburymcc.com
as I have a feeling places will fill up fast.
These days have been done to hopefully not conflict with any regional or national, if they do - let us know.
I've had to post this here as I couldn't post it in the events organiser.
If any mods want to move it please do!
Cheers
Gordy

Hi Gordy,

I am planning on booking in for the Ledbury Summer series, My friend who also would like to come asked me to ask you if Lipo's are allowed at the summer series?

Many Thanks,
Ben

[gordy]

Hi yeap, Lipo's are fine, please book in ASAP as apparently places are filling up fast.

[Belsten]

are there the spaces available for next saturday ? Will an entry list be available ?

[gordy]

I don't know how many are booked but Doug now tells me there are plenty of spaces left - go figure

[gordy]

First round next Saturday - so get your entries in Guys.
Just out of interest who has entered and who is planning on entering?

[Belsten]

Im in :thumbsup:

[GRIFF55]

When's the latest i can enter, because i'm not sure how busy we will be this weekend?

[strobe]

I'm going, so is Neil Davies.

[Mossy]

Is this gonna be on the same patch of grass as the Regional was run?

[strobe]

I did hear yesterday that it was on the same patch of grass as the 4wd regional event last month.

[gordy]

Yes it is on the same patch of ground as the regional. Doug has decided not to have a limit on numbers, Thursday would be the last day for booking in online. But to be honest even if you turned up on the morning we'd fit you in somewhere!
I did hear a couple of people at the regional say the track was too bumpy, just wondered what peoples honest opinion was?
If we don't know we can't fix it. We didn't want it too smooth as we felt it then became glorified touring, but on the other hand we didn't want it too bumpy - so let us know.

[strobe]

Really liked the track.
Only improvement would be to turn the double jump after the slab section into a table top or a better type of jump than what is already there. Bomb hole is ace.

[gordy]

yea I agree with you, those jumps were a git - the reason they were so slow, was we were trying to slow the lap times down, as we were concerned the lap times would be too quick. But they have settled quite well and to be fair Roger Mills was clearing them consistantly last Wednesday night. But yes in the long term I think it needs to be turned into a table top.

[RogerM]

Gordy ..... my last saturday for a while as a free man .... might well be down!

[Body Paint]

Gordy ..... my last saturday for a while as a free man .... might well be down!

Have the men in white coats finally cought up with you Roger? LOL

I'm booked in for Saturday, booked in 4wd.

You coming Si?

[Mossy]

Not sure to be honest. Depends on the weather really, plus i think i have a party to go to on Saturday night down that neck of the woods so may kill two birds with one stone.

[gordy]

Be good to see you roge, but don't be too upset when I beat your sorry arse round the track!!!:lol::lol:

[gordy]

Sorry Roge that was totally uncalled for ofcourse you'll kick my arse.
On a totally unrelated topic, is it still alright if I use your shocks?:lol::lol:

[Body Paint]

Not sure to be honest. Depends on the weather really, plus i think i have a party to go to on Saturday night down that neck of the woods so may kill two birds with one stone.

If it's raining it'll be good practice for Talywain, you know it's gonna rain when the Nationals come to Wales :lol:

[RogerM]

Nope .... I'll have those back now :D

[strobe]

Gordy
What time does the gates open and when will it start.

[gordy]

Booking in around 8.30am with racing about 9.15am onward and hope to get as many rounds as possible over the day. - Entry £5.00

[strobe]

Will there be a food wagon there.
Gordy. What night is your club night.

[gordy]

people tend to come down on a wednesday night for a practice session, I'll be there cutting the grass - but we normally run every sunday, either practice or a meeting.
Don't think there will be a butty wagon this week

[RogerM]

Stobe .... get down there mate, great track to practice on as it's so kind on tires.

Club membership is £14 a year but if your not a member you'll be asked for a small contribution to the site up-keep, very reasonable really.

The track tends to be basic at club nights due to the number of people to lay it out / pack it away ..... the more people the better a track can be run .... either way the features are always there so still great fun.

[Mossy]

Any ideas what the weather is lookin like for tomorrow?

[strobe]

Looked at a few weather sites and they seem to look ok for tomorrow. Sunny with the odd cloud cover. Ranging between 17-19 deg c.

Griff55 you playing tomorrow.

[GRIFF55]

might be, still not sure. Lots to do here:o. Bring servo and drivers just in case please mate!!
What time will it start again?

WOO HOO, JUST NOTICED 1000th POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stuartw]

Not sure to be honest. Depends on the weather really, plus i think i have a party to go to on Saturday night down that neck of the woods so may kill two birds with one stone.

[losixxx]

I didn't think you'd fully decided either? I won't see you for another 4 weeks if you don't.......

[Mossy]

Your more than welcome to come and pit for me both days lol

[Jonesy]

will you miss your mossy then jonesy:cry::cry::cry::lol:

I never miss Mossy, just Whyman...... lol

[GRIFF55]

Thanks to all for a good day!!! Track was great(both of 'em:lol:). My only food for thought would be to do something with the little double bumps, tabletop maybe??
Excellent day and weather, great fun!!!!!!:thumbsup:

[neiloliver]

How many were there?

[GRIFF55]

It was a shame there weren't many but it was still goooood. 13 4wd i think, all in one heat and 2wd and electric truck. Close racing all day

[silky]

I agree with Andy, Was a really good day, got some good practice in getting my butt kicked lol. Thanks to the Ledbury club for a good day, and I will defo be going back more often.

[Body Paint]

Thanks all at Ledbury, had a great day. Those guys with the shotguns never got me once LOL the back of my van looks a bit worse for wear though:( it'll polish out:lol:

Track was great although I think it could be made even better if it wasn't for the dusty sections on the bank and in the bowl, if those sections were either grassed or even astro then I think the track could be something really special.

[GRIFF55]

Nah, keep it dirt, made for some fun moves:thumbsup:. Glad your van marks will polish out, the ones on the car won't:cry:

[gordy]

Hope everybody enjoyed it yesterday, really really sorry about the shooters, we've never had that happen before down there. They normally shoot from this side of the hill over to the other side. I must amit, it bloody hurt when a piece of shot hit me.

[dentmaster]

Hi there,

Is Ledbury 'on' for 1/10 electric this weekend (8th June)?. If so, what time should I show up for booking-in/practice etc?

Cheers

it may well be an anything goes day - but I won't be going, as the missus has just revealed that her parents are coming to stay on that weekend. :(

stay single fellas*. that's three weekends in a row i've not had a chance to bring out the b44. very annoying!
