Ooooh!!! Like the sound of this one.

Really enjoyed last years, might be the first outing for the new cars:thumbsup:

[Southwell]

I take it there will be an AMB system running? I can't put the usual ones in a xx4 :lol:

[AmiSMB]

The lap counting will be done using AMB system. It can pick up personal transponders and there will also be the chargable handout transponders.

[Belsten]

[GRIFF55]

Amazing meeting last year, count me in again:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[rob8246]

Thanks for the feedback so far. Just thought I would post up some more details of the meeting.

The driver entry will be capped at 80 for both days.
There will be no booking in on the day unless the limit has not been reached and then it will be a 1st come, 1st served basis.
If you want to attend then pre book is the only guarantee.
There will be 10 heats of 8 cars for qualifying.
1 round of timed practice then 4 rounds of qualifying using the FTD format.
Finals will consist of 10 cars with the 'A' finalists having 3 legs.
We will post a preliminary heat list on Thursday 13th November.
Racing will start at 9am Saturday morning. There will be no delays as there is a lot of racing to get through.
As mentioned above the timing will be AMB so please make sure you enter you correct PT number on the form and all other information is correct as making changes on the day takes time. Handout transponders will also be available so don't panic!!
Some details may be subject to change but we hope that things will all work out and run smooth. :thumbsup:
If you have any further questions then please post or send me a PM.

Rob.

[JCJC]

Just booked Jordan in for both days, enjoyed last year so much........only question, 80 drivers, will there be enough room for pitting in the hall.

[smk]

Will there be enough room for pitting in the hall.

There's enough room if people pit in a sensible manner. Last year we didn't really use the sides of the hall.

[_sleigh_]

Do I take it reading the details on the Newbury web-site, that we need a 12v battery to charge from, or is 240v available?

[MK Racing]

Do I take it reading the details on the Newbury web-site, that we need a 12v battery to charge from, or is 240v available?

240V is available, Rob will be sorting this :thumbsup:, if you bring a 12v, it needs to be in a container (Landlord's rule)

Marc

[_sleigh_]

240v is fine by me :thumbsup:, I'd only have to buy a 12v if it was the only option.

[rob8246]

So with booking in only live for a day or so both classes are now over a quarter full!! :D

Don't delay guys to avoid dissapointment.

Rob.

[rob8246]

240v is fine by me :thumbsup:, I'd only have to buy a 12v if it was the only option.

Im sure we can sort everyone out with mains hook-up :thumbsup:

[Southwell]

Mine may need adjusting, says i run a xxx cr in 2 + 4 wd :p

[showtime]

will i be able to take advantage of the "arrive & drive" sevice & just turn up with a transmitter or do i actually need to bring my own stuff? :)

oh yeah, sorry to anyone who crashed over the doule to the right of the rostrum in their finals on friday night. i think i may have made the gap a foot or so wider when i did some track repairs after qualifying LOL :woot:

[mobile chicane]

[KRob]

I'm on holiday

Gutted :(

(Not at been on holiday, but at not being able to race)

[rob8246]

So we have a Burger Van sorted for both days to supply food and drink. He is a cool guy and his food is always of an excellent standard. :thumbsup:

Just so that you know, the entry fee is £10.00 per class.
Payment is to be made when you book in on the day.

Entries are looking very good at the moment with 50% full for both days.

plane and go over the sea!

[rob8246]

Yeah just to clarify the point, book in online and then payment is to be made on the day when you register in the morning.
We will be sending emails to all pre registered drivers to confirm your booking and at that point if you know your NOT going to come then please tell us as I'm sure someone will be waiting for a place.
Entries for both classes are looking very healthy indeed so please dont delay to avoid dissapointment. :thumbsup:

THATS ONE HEALTHY LOOKING ENTRY!!

[_sleigh_]

There's some right random names in there too :D

[Lee Martin]

YEH......ROB RASEY? WHO THE HELLS' HE?

[ginger fixit]

should have put knob rash :p

[rob8246]

YEH......ROB RASEY? WHO THE HELLS' HE?

Do 1 you wafting Jonah!

You should be concentrating on winning this event following your dissapointing display last year :p

[Belsten]

There's some right random names in there too :D

how rude :cry:

[showtime]

it doesn't look random to me :eh?:





looks more like alphabetical order :p

[c0sie]

Booked in. F00k the spinal surgery recovery, I aint missing this for toffee lolol

[frogger]

Freakin hell, the Oxmeister comes out to play once again! Will see you there matey! :thumbsup:

[c0sie]

2WD Carl :) I presume you're 4WD??

Ill be the one sat on the NHS issue chair walking very much bolt upright lolol

Last year was awesome fun, buggered if ill be missing that :)

And the fact that its the only chance ill get to see Rasey, Showtime, Drescher, Pidge, etc etc till god knows when next year :(

I wonder if I can tempt Wez into entering too?? He hasnt booked in yet I dont think? hmm...

[Ashley]

i like the look of this event ;)
even thinkin of entering so i can keep warm
as this winter is so cold:o

[c0sie]

If you have a little search around this forum you'll find details of last years event which people havent stopped talking about since!

The Newbury club are a great bunch of friendly guys and the MK GP is sure to be as good. if not better, than last year :)

[Ashley]

cheers for the info fella

hope your on the mend from spinal op
so you can race

[MHeadling]

Im in! :thumbsup: Just booked into 2wd on the sat! I better get some practice in not that it will make much difference!

[c0sie]

Ill be better by the race date. Bill is driving me there as I cant drive till December-ish but I should be ok as long as im sensible at the meeting and dont doing anything silly like the 'truffle-shuffle' :)

[showtime]

i'd say it will be better than last year as the jumps have all evolved to be better for the cars (ie the springy long landing after the big tabletop), the track layouts are always good plus with the 2 days its just a bigger meeting all round :thumbsup:

Cris i think if you can gather enough support & pester hard enough you might even get a micro race too ;)

[glypo]

Both my brother and I would enter Micro if it was run on the sunday.

[Smartalec]

I'd be up for a bit of Micro-ing on the Sunday too :D

[frogger]

+1 for micro!

[mobile chicane]

I have a tatty ftx blaze somwhere I could use in the micro

[rob8246]

Sorry lads no micro's this year as time will not allow but that does not stop you from doing a bit during the lunch break :D

Just want to see comedy barnets insane blaze again :thumbsup:

[frogger]

Cool, I'll be doing a bit of showboating the micro during lunch time :thumbsup:

[mobile chicane]

I best get my micro sorted as wel then :)

[c0sie]

Lunchtime micro bashing is always a good form of promotion lol

I remember last years spring board landing ramp Showtime lol! After jumping 8ft in the air and slamming down onto that ramp, the noise was hilarious and seeing your Pred gliding through the air like a flying squirrel lol

[AmiSMB]

Just want to see comedy barnets insane blaze again :thumbsup:

The barnet and blaze are ready! :lol:

[mobile chicane]

remember when knighter jumped his b44 so high it clipped the netting :)


I swear that table top slows down time hollywood style so when you jump your car over it it just hangs in the air for a couple of seconds looking cool then goes back to normal speed lands on a marshal ( normaly tris ) and breaks the one part you dont have :D


I wonder what the world record for an electric rc car jump is.


( wanders off to put a 3.5, silly lipo and some " disposable" radio gear in a b4 then starts to calculate the gearing for a terminal speed of 50mph )



new rc car class : extreeeeeeme buggy jumping.


quick buggy + silly ramps + an old matress or 2 + video camera + some decent tunes :woot::woot::woot:

[c0sie]

Haha, yeah remember that too, and as for the jump..thats the reason it was soo good! Height not distance :)

"Too many jumps man, too many jumps. Too many cross-overs man, too many cross-overs. Needs to be flatter.." pmsl. Some people make me giggle :)

[MK Racing]

[quote=mobile chicane;171445]remember when knighter jumped his b44 so high it clipped the netting :)

Big Air Baby!!!!!!!:thumbsup::p:thumbsup:

[GRIFF55]

And finished a race on three wheels if i remember right. Was that the day i knocked wez on his arse after the tabletop:woot:

[c0sie]

That was the day I knocked Knighter on his arse too with the B44 :( :(
Never again Marc lol! :D

[showtime]

I swear that table top slows down time hollywood style so when you jump your car over it it just hangs in the air for a couple of seconds looking cool then goes back to normal speed lands on a marshal ( normaly tris ) and breaks the one part you dont have :D



i fixed it after that as it was just (another!) gearbox top ;)

it wasn't til i snapped the front of the chassis off during the next run that i had to stop :cry:

anything with 2 wings has to fly at those speeds :thumbsup:

[GRIFF55]

[quote=mobile chicane;171445]remember when knighter jumped his b44 so high it clipped the netting :)

Big Air Baby!!!!!!!:thumbsup::p:thumbsup:

will we see a cat do it this year??? whats the odds,i'll have a gamble:thumbsup:

[MHeadling]

I was wondering what tyres and inserts to run in 2wd? Schuey yellow mini pins?

[showtime]

yes Mark they seem to be the ticket ;)

[Ashley]

just to reasured do we pay before hand if so is there a payment method after you have put details in
or do we pay like a normal race day

[showtime]

pay on the day dude ;)

[Crazy L]

I'm in, should be a damn good laugh, I'm looking forward:thumbsup: + Isn't Steve the burger man gonna be there too?

[rob8246]

You are soooooo right mate. Steve the famous burger man will be on site for both days cooking up his delights with a heated debate and random argument thrown in for good measure! :thumbsup:

[Crazy L]

You are soooooo right mate. Steve the famous burger man will be on site for both days cooking up his delights with a heated debate and random argument thrown in for good measure! :thumbsup:

That's our Steve:thumbsup:

[MHeadling]

I just had a couple more questions before the meeting,

What inserts shall I run in Schumacher yellow mini pins?

If heard it's worth having a large rear wing in 2wd? What's your opinions?

[Lee Martin]

PRESS RELEASE:

MK GP has booked a commentator for this event! for both days, the old master that is Tony Evdoka will be on the Mic creating excitement and a great atmosphere for both races and spectators alike!!!!

i cant wait!!!

[Darren Boyle]

Ear plugs will be given out at drivers briefing then............LOL

Nice to see Tony at a race track again, how long before he comes out with his classic "OMG, I cant believe it.........."

Does this mean that the burger van will be doing Kebabs now as well??? :D

That's AWESOME!!! :thumbsup:

[David Church]

Maybe I can learn something from this legend eh?????:thumbsup:

[c0sie]

:blush:
Who's Tony Evdoka??

[Darren Boyle]

Who's Tony Evdoka??


OMG You dont know.......Tony used to race many moons ago, was an F1 racer who also usd to run the infamous "Hampshire Racing Centre" in Basingstoke. His enthusiasm was legendary and he was never too far away from controversy either. His commentating was a joy, it was lively, LOUD and funny and some of his comments were hilariuos.

The race tracks have certainly become a quiet place to be without him and his "Planet Hampshire"

[Lee Martin]

couldnt describe it better Daz.

i think everyone will have much fun!!! And im sure tony will love seeing everyone again too!

[Southwell]

Tony 'Murray Walker' Evdoka :thumbsup:

[c0sie]

His commentating was a joy, it was lively, LOUD and funny and some of his comments were hilariuos.

:thumbsup:

[Chris Doughty]

all these years I thought it was called Hamster Racing Centre... :confused: :thumbsup:

[c0sie]

I just had a couple more questions before the meeting,

What inserts shall I run in Schumacher yellow mini pins?

If heard it's worth having a large rear wing in 2wd? What's your opinions?

Does anyone know the answers to Mark's questions at all?

Saves me asking the same things twice really :)

[ryan]

I think most people are running the Schumacher medium inserts or the Edit Meduim inserts:

http://www.m-k-racing.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_89&products_id=5164
http://www.m-k-racing.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_89&products_id=4449

Im sure someone will put me correct me if im wrong:lol:

[AmiSMB]

What inserts shall I run in Schumacher yellow mini pins?

If heard it's worth having a large rear wing in 2wd? What's your opinions?

I usually find the Edit purple or the new Schumacher medium green are good. I like the feel of the large rear wing on both 2wd and 4wd. When you go back to a small wing after running a big wing you can really feel the difference.

[Mossy]

Pretty sure im off work so entry sent. What hotel are people in for this?

[strobe]

Pretty sure im off work so entry sent. What hotel are people in for this?


Newbury Tot Hill Travelodge.

[MHeadling]

Cheers cOsie, I thought no one cared! thanks for the replys guys, I can get on and order my inserts, got my rims and tyres already!

As for the wing iv got a J Concepts 7" one (oh er! ) that should do it I reckon, iv got an edit wing to try too!

[Lee Martin]

Mossy, stay at Vickys..........;-)

[Mossy]

Can someone please withdraw my entry, i have to work both days just found out. Thanks.

[Nick Goodall]

Can someone please withdraw my entry, i have to work both days just found out. Thanks.

Withdraw your entry from Vicky??? :lol:

[GRIFF55]

:o:lol:.
Damn i haven't heard the guest commentators name since i did radio race car std class as an ickle boy:thumbsup:

[_sleigh_]

You were never a ickle boy. :woot:

[GRIFF55]

You were never a ickle boy. :woot:

Hey now!, i got pics to prove it:blush:

[_sleigh_]

Please don't!!! There's young impressionable kids on this forum.

[GRIFF55]

Please don't!!! There's young impressionable kids on this forum.

I walked blindfolded into that one didn't i!!:lol::thumbsup:

[c0sie]

I wonder how many cross-over's there will be this year??

:D

[showtime]

there's gotta be at least 2 :thumbsup:

have you jumped the extended tabletop Cris?
after the first GP it was greatly extended with a nice springy long landing ramp :thumbsup:

however if you're keen you can land about 30 feet past it if you want!
bit like Shyter with his B4 the other week :o

[c0sie]

The only table top I abused was the one at '07 MKGP with the noisey landing :D

The bigger, higher, longer and more aggressive they are the better :D

[glypo]

The table top is lethal! The layout a few weeks ago when there was a long run up the potential for air was insane, I managed to launch my cat over two lanes and smash it up. Freakin' awesome!

Bring it on :thumbsup:

[GRIFF55]

Sounds good!! Hows the entry list looking?

[showtime]

Sounds good!! Hows the entry list looking?


pretty good :thumbsup:

20 places left in 2wd & only 14 in 4wd!
time to get booked in !

http://www.gingerfixit.proboards84.com/index.cgi?board=jumptastic&action=display&thread=317&page=1

[c0sie]

'Potentially insane air'....cant get any better than that then :)

[Belsten]

I really cant wait for this now, 2 weeks to go :thumbsup:

[PaulUpton]

being that this meeting will only be my first weekend doing off road for about 8 years, can we make the track a little forgiving!!

Has any one got any pics of last years track?

Paul

[c0sie]

I wouldnt worry too much Paul. The track wont be rediculous, hard to drive, or stupidly dangerous...its just that alot of us are very excited about the meeting and are therefore bigging it up (and maybe making it sound like only the best of the best could master it).

The Newbury lads did a brilliant job last year and made the track suit all driving styles and experiences :)

[PaulUpton]

thats good then, ill be fine on the flat stuff lol!!

am racing at west bridgford on on the saturday then there on the sunday!!

[showtime]

i'm pretty rubbish & i got round OK :thumbsup:

this wasn't from last years GP as the tabletop grew after that but its probably a good indication of the type of track we should get :)
pretty sure the littler jumps are a tad bigger now :woot:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7o0GUqXv3X8&feature=related

[c0sie]

Run Rog run!!

Wow, that vid brings back memories lol

We really need more MK GP's per year :)

[c0sie]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdbNvYc2jhQ&NR=1
^ Showtime being 'rubbish' lol
And shot of Knighter running!

[showtime]

my car was horrendously slow then :blush:

i'd let Flanders adjust my slipper & i think he undid the bloody thing :thumbdown:

[c0sie]

Sabotage!!

[showtime]

well it stopped me hitting everything so hard so it probably saved me a couple of wishbones :blush:

was embarassingly slow tho lol

[GRIFF55]

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7o0GUqXv3X8&feature=related[/quote]

:thumbsup::thumbsup:, Nice, thats the race i knocked Wez on his arse:lol:

[rob8246]

i'd let Flanders adjust my slipper & i think he undid the bloody thing :thumbdown:

I was just thnking of everyones safety!! LOL :thumbsup:

[showtime]

well that sounds about right :blush:

but what's even more retarded than that is when i used your B4 at the last meeting you tightened the slipper right up!
that must mean all the damage to your car was your fault LOL :thumbsup:

[ginger fixit]

in other word can i use my mamba max motor?

cheers

You can use any motor that takes your fancy mate!! :thumbsup:

The meeting will run to BRCA rules in some ways but mainly it's the cars weight you need to be worried about if your using LiPo batteries.
All cars will be checked and if under the weight limit then you WILL NOT be racing, simple as that.

[Southwell]

Im worried, i only have a 6.5 for my 2wd and it makes my 4wd wheelie :lol:

[frogger]

Not sure if there is anybody left that want any but I will have some lipo lead plates with me on Sunday :) Just listen out for a loud South African accent and you'll know it's me :D

[Nick Goodall]

Im worried, i only have a 6.5 for my 2wd and it makes my 4wd wheelie :lol:

Done. What kind of excuse is that, I wouldn't miss racing for my wife's birthday.

[c0sie]

Being single has its benifits after all :D

[Danosborne6661]

Convince her it isn't actually her birthday

[GRIFF55]

Take her for a weekend away at a travel lodge or premier inn Ben, she'll think your spoiling her:thumbsup:. My missus falls for that one, then just go racing and leave her go shopping:D

[ginger fixit]

[c0sie]

[showtime]

Being ugly has its benifits after all :D

[Danosborne6661]

Hows the lighting at Newbury? Ill bring the CAM-O-RAAAA

[frogger]

Bring a pit light if you have one. If I remember correctly some areas of the pits needed some more light. The hall itself is spot on but you will need a fast lens for the camera :)

[Belsten]

[showtime]

[c0sie]

Just want to say a big big thanks to ALL the MK/Newbury crew for putting on another fecking brilliant meeting!!

Track design is sh#t hot, but make sure you 4WD guys keep that bloody door shut!

Came 1st overall in the C, was happy with that bearing in mind all the top drivers who entered. Really enjoyed battling with Flanders through the 3 finals too (yes, we ALL had 3 finals lol)

A final was a pleasure to watch with Pidge, Craggy, Bloomers etc putting on a stunning display for everyone.

Again, thanks for putting the event on, and feel free to put my name on the list for MK GP'09 ;) ;)

[smk]

For the curious and those wishing to see where it all went wrong, the race results can be accessed here http://www.newburyrcclub.co.uk/raceresults/mkgp08/index.htm (http://www.newburyrcclub.co.uk/raceresults/mkgp08-2wd/index.htm)

Thanks to all competitors for being ready to race when they were supposed to and (usually) being at their marshalling points on time. This meant we were able to crack on and give everyone two practice runs, 4 qualifiers and 3 finals and still be finished by 18:00

Win or lose, I hope everyone had a good day

[Body Paint]

Awesome day, really enjoyed it. Shame that slippy was sooooo slippy near the doors, really hard work.

3rd leg of the A was awesome, even though I was marshalling you could feel the tension, great show Pidge, Bloomers, Cragg :thumbsup:

[ashleyb4]

Well done to bloomers for 2nd well done to sleigh for getting a good result for x facotry and well doen to you craig for winning the B Chazz should be proud.

A

[MHeadling]

Just wanted to say a BIG thanks to all the Mk crew and Tony for his commentary, I had a great time.

It was good to see how it's done by the A final lads, well done to Lee on his win.

Iv had txts from the lads I was pitting with, Rich Baker, Vince, Paul and they all had a great time so thanks from all of them.

It was great to chat to the pro drivers and mechanics and fellow oopler's they were all really friendly and helpfull with set up info etc.

If you have never done the Mk Gp meeting like this book yourself in next year, it's deffinatly worth it!!

Roll on next year! Let us know the 4 wd result!

[RogerM]

Was a great days racing, loads of track time and Tony's chat over the PA bring back fond memories!!!

Track layout flowed really well, was technical but still able to race hard on it for the finals. I'd go as far as to say it was the best indoor track i've driven on for many, many years and in a lot of ways more fun to drive than quite a few of the national tracks!
The club work their hearts out to make it a blast for all the drivers and I'm agree with Cosie .... put me down to 09 (or when ever the next event is if sooner).

How come this club doesn't go for the indoor finals???

Gutted to be missing the 4wd due to being called into work .... looking forward to the next event.

[MattADH]

How come this club doesn't go for the indoor finals???



I had suggested this to Marc Knight but I think it would be down to the club to go through their regional rep...

[glypo]

Awesome race. Thank you all so much for great day racing. I even got a trophy too (ssshhh... no-one needs to know for what final!). :thumbsup:

I got a ton of photos, race report coming one day soon. Got to go get parents from airport tonight, got work during the week followed by lots of learning in the evening, so it may take a week or two.

[JCJC]

A few teasers Glypo.... please:thumbsup:
