Alright guys... I know its last minute but I've only just received my new Serpent Spyder 2WD kit and am keen to run it somewhere tomorrow (13th October).

Can somebody tell me the tyre of choice for your indoor offroad racing (2wd Electric) and also will there be somebody there to sell the tyres as I currently have none! lol

Many thanks

Jon,

I'd never raced indoors before and used a 2nd hand, very used set of Schuey Yellow Mini Pins all round.

Was pretty dialed to be honest, definitely doing some more indoor stuff now.

Venue was small, tight, extremely busy, no straight for a rest... But absolutely awesome because of it. Cracking day and can't wait for the next one.

Well Done to all involved.

Yes my first time for 20 odd years and loved it! We have 3 halls at Shrewsbury and may be trying one of the bigger ones next time but yes no time for a rest on that track it was full on!

A massive thank you to everyone who took part in round 1 of the Shropshire Winter series at Shrewsbury today, I hope you all enjoyed it! The championship tables for 2wd and 4wd are now up on www.eastshrewsburybrc.com I will add the detailed results in the week so you can check out your lap times :) Booking in is now open for round 2, we hope to see you all there.

[Wacker 2]

I was gutted... up late last night getting the car ready and as as result slept through my alarm in the morning.

EPIC FAIL.

Hoping to make the remaining rounds.

Still would be good to get any idea of what tyres people were running so that I can prepare for the next round.

Thanks, Jon.

[Wacker 2]

Any pictures or videos from today's meeting??

[clemo]

Hi bud,

Schumacher mini pins yellow seemed to be the best, and most drivers were running them

[russmini]

Jon,

Schuey Yellow Mini Pins is what everyone or nearly everyone ran.

As i said, the venue was really small, think around half of Kiddy's track, if that! Was a very busy lap, but fun.

By the sounds of it though, a move to a bigger (and better) hall could very well be on the cards.

I do have a video, but only of my 7 year old, who doesn't mess with RC having a go with my buggy.
