We're only 2 weeks away from our first proper meeting on our all new AstroTurf track...and the start of regular racing at WORM throughout the winter* :thumbsup:

We've managed to get most of the meetings on Sundays, but have a few odd dates on Sundays to avoid clashing with other local/national RC events.

For more info about WORM, a full race calender, etc etc visit the website at www.worm-racing.co.uk (www.worm-racing.co.uk)


*Wonderful UK weather permitting...but lets face it, it couldn't be much worse than the summer we've just had!

Plus...

For anyone who is around and free to give us a hand, we'll be at the track on Sat 22nd doing the final track preparations...all the hard work is done, so it's much more easy and fun work to do now...

1) Lay extra new track markings
2) PA system install
3) Install the timing loop
4) Final cutting in of the astro around the tree climb
5) Lay membrane under the astro joints at the railway end of the track.
4) General track area tidy up!

Everyone and anyone welcome...we'll be at the track from about 10:30am onwards for the whole day, any time you can spare gratefully received!

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Which tyres seem to work well on the track as will be racing for the first time in about 10 years next Sunday ?

Tyres...well...

Traditionally my pit box contains schumacher minispike yellows for the dry, and ballistic buggy spike greens for the wet...

But...

Since it's newly laid Astro, the track surface is still shedding sand, so it's slightly lower grip than we'd expect in general currently, although it's improving with every run, and we're keeping on top of the loose sand brushing it off as often as possible. Running a meeting on it finally should see it improve now though, I'd hope with a few more cars on it it'll clean up a bit quicker!

We've not had lots of running yet, only a few practice runs really, but yellows are looking ok in the dry, and run in/worn ballistics aren't proving to be as useful as normal in the wet at the mo, prob due to the sand, so I've been thinking it's time to find something with a little harder compound to cut through the loose sand a bit better in those conditions...(though I've not tried brand new ballistics yet, so they might be better), but I'm tempted to try some schumacher greens for the damp/wet, see how they go...

Only a few days until the first meeting of the winter series...track and surrounding area is looking much tidier now thanks to the help of the hardy few on Saturday, suspect there will be a few down there this saturday too, doing as much as possible to get the place looking ship shape, so feel free to come along and help if you can!

So who's coming along to race?

I'm in for 2wd and 4wd :D

Oh...and if it's too wet to run outdoors, we'll move the meeting up to Yatton and do it indoors instead...and with a little bit of encouragement and better turnouts they'll put the track downstairs sooner too I reckon ;)

mrspeedy
26-09-2012, 09:38 PM
There will be a class for them if anyone does want to race micro's .. they run very well on the new track now that the surface is so much smoother than the first couple of meetings we had ... :thumbsup:

There are also classes for 10th 2wd, 10th 4wd and a truck class just in case anyone was unsure ....

Hope some of you are bringing 4wd's as well? They will be great fun :)

Run as many classes as you like on the day...no extra charge! (Not at the moment anyway...as we haven't talked about that little detail yet lol) :woot:

I plan to be there at about 8:30am as we just need to get race control set up...but there's no rush, it'll all be very relaxed, the track is laid already and is ready for free practice while we book you all in!

Piccy taken this evening just as I left the track...:thumbsup:

Be gentle on me though...I'm doing booking in I think, and the laptop doesn't have too many 1/10th folk on it as it's the micro racing lappy that's used at hutton!

Track is looking pretty cool though...can't bloomin wait! :D
