[Lee]

I have been itching to get another 1/8th, what an excuse i have now :thumbsup:

[Answer-RC-Pete]

COOL!

Anyone who fancies running a Caster ZX1R Pro just say the word and we will sort something out with whichever store you tend to use ;-)

[Belsten]

I could be tempted, depending on cost :thumbsup:

[Nick Goodall]

Nobody seems to have noticed this yet??

"A special ‘invite only’ 1/8 Electric Buggy class will also be run alongside the main class"

Interesting to see how the times compare

[jimmy]

I wonder what the rules are, or whether a JConcepts converted T4 would be allowed, since it's an 8th scale electric buggy (2wd)

[showtime]

pretty sure Phils after converted nitro 8th kits for this to make it a more relevant comparison ;)

[jimmy]

yeah I guess, everyone knows a JConcepts J82 would smoke them all ;)

[WHITTLER555]

My Losi 8 did the event last year but I didn't!

Now I have taken the Tom Cockerill stickers off I am sure it will be a lot more reliable:p

[Garry Driffill]

:lol:

Now I have taken the Tom Cockerill stickers off I am sure it will be a lot more reliable:p

Whats everyones Beef with Cockerill's crashing antics? LOL - He always looks planted?! :thumbsup:

[jimmy]

he always looks like a man on the edge! :thumbsup:

in a good way

[Cockerill]

Loose is fast, and on the edge of out of control.

[Richard Lowe]

Even down the straight at Bury indoors?! :lol:

Who's got a car I can blag for the weekend then :thumbsup:

[Kecky]

Loose is fast, and on the edge of out of control.

We'll have to start calling you Cocktrickle :lol:

[Lee]

You can get cream for that :thumbsup:

[WHITTLER555]

Loose is fast, and on the edge of out of control.

Loose is not fast with only three wheels on your wagon!

How many times did that happen last Sunday??:p

He still beat me in the final though.

My poor Losi 8 has only just recovered from its Cockerill Neo 08 run.

I am obviuosly a more considerate driver........

although the Tamiya did thermal at the end of the A final on Sunday, not cause I was ragging the arse off it obviously!!:thumbsup:

[Cockerill]

Loose is not fast with only three wheels on your wagon!

How many times did that happen last Sunday??:p

He still beat me in the final though.

The wonders of TQ qualifying, we should use it more often :thumbsup:

Damo, can I borrow your 8ight again for the Neo :confused:

[WHITTLER555]

AH! unfortunately not, I am hoping to race myself at the NEO this year.

Sorry mate:(

[glypo]

I haven't even got my Caster Fusion yet, and I can't wait to blast it around the track :thumbsup:

[_JP_]

when is the booking in open :)

[kyosho-viking]

about 10-15 Norwegians are trying to attend aswell, what is the nearest airport if we go?

is it possible to camp on site?

[showtime]

Hei Tom

camping is allowed on site but you'd probably be better using the onsite accomodation, rooms were about £22 a night last time & are only about 150m from the track & pitting hall! they are single rooms with their own toilet & shower ;)

Ronnys been over 4 times & he takes a cheap flight from Torp to Stanstead then drives up in a hire car. if there are a few of you coming over car sharing would make this quite a bit cheaper ;)
unfortunately its about 160 miles & 3 hours drive!
but with a few of you everyone enjoys a road trip lol :thumbsup:

Ronny should be able to help you with some questions but anything else just ask mate :)

[dave g]

and bring lots and lots and lots of warm clothes :)

[showtime]

it shouldn't be as cold as this year
this year was a very early Easter plus it was unseasonally cold as well which gave the meeting a very arctic feel!

pretty sure the Norwegian dudes are better at coping with cold than we are, they get much more practice ;)

[kyosho-viking]

thanks Adam, your info helps alot. I was concidering the ferry Bergen-Newcastle until I found out it was not going anymore :cry:
cus then I could use my own company car:D

But anyway, this sounds like lots of fun.

Do we need any spesial licenses, like EFRA, BRCA etc?

[glypo]

Nothing special needed to race, just an entry :thumbsup:

[Jan Larsen]

Is anyone in touch of the organizers? I mailed them 4 days ago using the address on the flyer they just sent out, but no reply yet.

[glypo]

Yes, he has been away for a little bit.

He does have some form of access but may be a little slow replying for a short while. Please hold tight, you will get a response. Sorry about the delay.

In the meantime, I guess I should make the Neo 09 website fully so that more info can be put up on the website. :)

[showtime]

go on then Jason. Chop Chop! :p


will you be using frames ? :woot:

[glypo]

pmsl :lol:

Don't worry I live in the 21st century...

Good thinking Lewis, I hear they are going to use some cones under the astro to give it that 'offroad' feel ...... you guys at DXR clearly have plenty to learn!:woot:

[lewisDXR]

We was thinking of asking a few racers to help throw the track out the night before as well :rolleyes:

[wezzer]

:p
its gonna be wicked

[ollie]

We was thinking of asking a few racers to help throw the track out the night before as well :rolleyes:

No problem Lewis,

Dirt oval racing anyone???


:o:thumbsup:or:thumbdown:

;):):)

[jordi15]

We was thinking of asking a few racers to help throw the track out the night before as well :rolleyes:



Now thats thinking! If you do it like that it'll be much easier .... 2 of you to pull the astro about while someone else places the cones in an 'offroad' sort of pattern ...... much better than messing with all that dirty dirt!!!

[lewisDXR]

No problem Lewis,

Dirt oval racing anyone???



We could get you to stand in the middle ol and race around you :D

Mind you that would be more round racing than oval :p

Long lap though :o:p:D

[Lee]

Oooooh bitchy :woot: :thumbsup:

[c0sie]

Lol @ Lewis

[Will-Hammond]

Damn I wish I was good enough to race at this event. :(

Jimmys report on NEO'08 for those who still need pursuading that this event is the bollox.

[Lee]

Cosie stop bigging it up, i want an entry :woot:

[c0sie]

Sorry dude, I got bit by the NEO bug after last year :D ;)

[Lee]

My 1/8th scale is on route :thumbsup:

[Northy]

This years report should be even better :woot:

G

[Lee]

If i get in i will have some special questions for the people i get to interview, i(f im allowed :lol:)

[wezzer]

so cosie ! you up for pit biatch action again ? gonna run the Hyper 9 i rekon :woot:

[dave g]

i just seen how much the entry fee is for the neo nitro buggy.... £100

[savageracer1]

i just seen how much the entry fee is for the neo nitro buggy.... £100

and for electric 1/8th buggys it 50 :O

[Chris Doughty]

it is 4-days of racing against an international field on what will probably be the best track that most would ever race on.

[dave g]

and almost twice the price of last year chris..

still be good tho

[showtime]

i've been on the phone with Phil today & he went some way into explaining the high(ish) entry fee
this is a very expensive meeting to hold & even at the raised entry fee there is still a large amount that needs to be found from sponsorship etc!

due to the troubled economic climate sponsorship for this event has been hard to come by & thin on the ground. you only have to look at the lack of sponsorship logo's on the event homepage compared to last year to see that! so the unfortunate raise in entrys was unavoidable.

on the plus side if you do get in you'll be racing on the best track in the UK against a very strong International field :cool:

i'm not sure on exact prices of onsite accomodation yet but the rooms are usually a lot cheaper than a hotel so the cost does even up a bit plus you also get cheap beer in the student union bar ;) so if you were really keen you could try and recoup your money like that :woot:

you also get the DXR guarantee that rain cannot & will not stop play!
you don't get that at any other dirt track in the UK :thumbsup:

[footey]

when can people put there name down to try and gety a entry

[glypo]

Cool the website is live :)

Phil must have worked hard on the content, I only finished coding it last night!

And as Showtime said, economy has gone mad causing little sponsorship. Putting on this race costs serious money, I won't say the budget but just says it's in tens of thousands.

Also, due to weak pound against Euro it is only a small price increase for the Europeans too over last year. This should help make it even more international. So really you are getting a bargain anyway, Neo is the nuts and there are some AWESOME new plans which I will keep secret for now. For £25/day it's not much more than a club race in price, but it's soooooo much better :)

[showtime]

entrys go live midday tomorrow ;)

over on Rcracecontrol website linked from the Neo09 page

just follow the instructions & if anyone needs to ask any questions just post em up on here & either one of the DXR guys or somebody in the know will answer them for you

[jordi15]

£100? .... BARGAIN! Neo is one of the rc worlds greatest events with possibly the strongest field outside of the Worlds:drool:

I, like hundreds of others will be putting in an entry for my lad 'just in case' ...... you'd be mad not to:wtf:

[dave g]

ive already bought my tyres..is that sad?

[showtime]

leave em in the bags Dave ;)

ADVERT:
We'll be looking for sponsorship of the race report to help us get there to cover this event - any companies wishing to advertise on the neo09 report / become title sponsor for the report, get in touch.

As a reminder, this is last years report, which was a massive success and bang up to date even during the A Main - with more detail and long before ANY other website:

Do they cook the pies in a deep fat fryer down there Adam? Thats what proper northerners do, im not northern enough for that though :cry:

[Jan Larsen]

Who's in charge of the selection process? Whoever it is, please hurry up. Deadlines on plane tickets and hotel bookings are creeping up, but it's impossible to book anything when you still have a "?" with your sign up.

[showtime]

there is no deadline on accomodation s there are HUNDREDS of rooms at £25 a night available at the college just a short walk from the track building ;)

as for entry selection new people are being added most days

On more than one count. I was relying on you to bring me (Us) the latest info from the event. I can't get there till Sunday.

Can only imagine whoever it was that said that to you was under a lot of Stress with it being the Opening Day and all that, but still no Excuse for it, especially to You. Someone who's Reporting at the Event and is in Charge of a Prolific RC Forum....

Hope you stay there Jimmy and the DXR lads cool off a bit and give oOple the Electric they and Us lot all need, so we can keep upto date with the proceedings.


:thumbsup:

[J_WOODY]

[jimmy]

Well I've now resolved the situation by literally scraping a whole pile of chargers aside on the 'charging table' and setup on there! :thumbsup: The only worry is the 100+ batteries on charge next to my face - most of these huge 8th brushless batteries aren't hard cased and already look like they're half way to exploding :lol::bored:

There's a bunch of chargers behind my laptop as well :lol:

[stegger]

Watch you dont get a nasty draft from that gap under the table ;) :lol:

FIGHT

[Stu]

There has been some sort of heated altercation between Lee Martin and one a the Spanish dudes, Borja Hernadez we believe.

A racing incident seems to have escalated into a fisty-cuff type fight.

It was very exciting when it all kicked off.

Lee is still alive for now as Wraggy is keeping an eye on things.

[Belsten]

ooh tell us more

[Stu]

This appears to be turning into an international diplomatic incident.

Several drivers who were present on the rostrum at the time are being called to give evidence.

Damo was an eye witness, saying 'he was like a raging Spanish bull'.

This is ace.

[Belsten]

did pidge have him :thumbsup:

[millzy]

what the hell

see thats what racing nitro indoors dose to you lol

got pics of the fight??

Don king getting it on payper view??

[Garry Driffill]

Was Lee sporting the new Ghea Brass nukle duster?

[Belsten]

did he give him a jab with his graphix :lol:

[wivout]

From Phil on NEO 09 Blog

there was an incident between borja hernandez and lee matin, allegedly lee martin and borja strongly disagreed up on the drivers stand, when the pair came down, one of borja's mechanics held lee by the throat, after reviewing the siutation, and speaking to witnesses and both drivers, the decision has been made to exclude Borja's mechanic from the event.

And the scuffle involved a transmitter landing on the straight, which forced the heat's warm down to be cut short.

[russmini]

Was this part of the reason Lee didn't seem to finish his last run ???

[Belsten]

its good to see people passionate about their racing at the highest level although I obviously dont condone violence in any way

[jimmy]

That was the censored political version of events - don't worry, oOple will bring the uncensored true gritty sordid libelous facts as soon as we can make up a story that fits our desires.

[wivout]

with a small video reconstructiion please :D

I'm visiting tomorrow and have an old spectrum radio to use if needed lol

[andyg01]

All joking aside, any times up for practice yet?

[Belsten]

[lochness42]

my money is on the pidge/wraggy combo

Well if Pidge will survive this night :D I wonder if that mechanic will not find him after today's runs and continue where he finished.

[carlin]

Not being funny but it's toy racing end of the day.

No need to be kicking off on the rostrum esp from top drivers doesnt give good impression to the young ones :thumbdown:

But hope someone got pics of it though, come on Jimmy i know you always go you camrea with you :p

Hope to get over for Monday finals fingers crossed

[GRIFF55]

cheers! is caerfilthy not racing then?

[lochness42]

Well when I saw almost fight on local race here, I was really sad. But hearing about happening something similar on race such as Neo09 is - shame on them. It's still hobby that we do to have fun.

[Belsten]

Well if Pidge will survive this night :D I wonder if that mechanic will not find him after today's runs and continue where he finished.

is that Glypo from on here?? I recognise that shell!!!

[glypo]

Sure is mate!

Phil has got a cool little cam, so we stuck it to the car! The shell is very sexy mate, I love it. Downside is it has some little cracks in already. Maybe the combination of big jumps and lack of skill lol. :woot:

The race here is freakin' awesome. Looks like oOple is doing good work with the report as always too.

[mole2k]

That video looks awesome, What was the camera glypo, i've often wanted to get a bit of onboard footage. Tried it once on a TC but found all that weight on the roof made the car handle less than perfect :D

[grindog]

is there any racing left for the top guys today?

Nitro final in 2mins!!!

[MikePimlott]

Tebo is holding his own with Bloomers chasing.

[Stu]

Darren did really well, he was faster the track than Tebo, but not without errors.

Tebo was like a machine, in an Adam Drake sort of way.

[andyg01]

Excellent race and good coverage .. liked Scotty on the mike ...:thumbsup:

[glypo]

I sorted a few photos out. I didn't have time to take many, hence these are poor quality.
