short course national rd6 - Holbeach/eastrax

[maky]

Holbeach national this weekend held at the eastrax venue

we run a purpose built astro turf track with many features and multiple layouts

pictures of track found here http://www.holbeachrcmodelcarclub.co.uk/eastrax

i plan on making the track a bit of a mix of fast and technical

Mr Wesson wants the mid east regional track layout but we don't want to be giving him an advantage now do we:p

weather looks as if its gonna be about 24deg with 0 chance of rain and hardly any wind so could be a very hot one ... but when has the weather man ever been right

Event Format - Saturday 8th

Open Practice: 10:00am to 6:00pm

Event Format - Sunday 9th

Gates open: 7:00am
Bookin from: 8:00am to 9:00am (track open for free practice)

For the people that no know the shortcut off the main road it can be a bit slippy and landlord prefers it not used . so please use the main back way by going down king john bank and then gooses lane. it is a bit bumpy but its a lot quicker than going the sign posted way

at the entrance turn immediately left . Sign posts for pitting area are being put up. small motorcross track is closed and We are pitting on it and behind rostrum area and far end grass area next to track . You'll be directed anyway

hand out transponders on the day are available if you dont own a pt.


if you arent booked in please get booked in on http://www.ukshortcourse.com/entry.html . makes things a lot easier on the day.

also i believe there is a motorcross championship going on next door so bit of entertainment and a chance for photographers to catch some bike air shots(my cameras on charge :D)
if anyone is gonna be late etc ring tony on 07786 245490

all being well should be a very good day ---see ya there

Can I just confirm directions,

thanks

[maky]

Running a brand new truck added some pressure so i feel your pain Rob... the tighter track sections didn't favour mid motor config either so made it a real challenge.

Was a top meeting, big thanks to Tony, Sue, Adam and the Holbeach crew for a great days racing, you get my vote for another SCT round next year :thumbsup:

Congrats to Wardy for a podium finish on first National outing with his new truck

[aaron1974]

I'll second that Rob, short course is still good close racing but definitely more of a chilled out atmosphere, can't wait for the season finale !:D

Were you racing the TLR 22 sct?
Do you reckon going to rear motor for last round?
Wondered if anyone was racing the TLR 22sct at last round and what setup to go for?

[Frecklychimp]

Hi Gav,

The 22SCT will be kept as a mid motor truck,

It was still as competitive as my rear motor truck but was no major advantage on Sunday's track, which was technical with more tight sections than open and flowing where the mid motor config is better.

for a first outing i am very happy with it, made some minor set-up tweaks during the day which improved it each time.

I'll PM you my final set-up and some ideas to try.

Will be doing some testing at A1 before the SCT National so will keep you informed.

The Car was great, little bit more steering and it would have been perfect. It wasn't too far off ultimate pace either so I reckon with a few more tweaks it will be about there. Managed three twelve lap runs and they would have probably all been twelve lap runs if it hadn't been for mechanical failiure and loose wheelnuts :lol:

P.s. race the truck at A1 last night and it was awesome. Did the same amount of laps that I did with my 2wd buggy at the regional in the first round, and I am sure I improved on that time in the following two rounds as well. Definatley like mid motor round A1 :D

Sorry to hear that, Gav.

Hopefully you can make it to A1 then.
