Seconded:thumbsup:

[telboy]

It looks good with the cars going round. I've only seen it with 1/2 on it before. :)

Can't wait to come and help next time.
I'll have to bring my car. :)

[Mike Hudson]

That looks extremely good! Cannot wait to get down and race on it, if theres anymore work to do I'll try my best to persuade my dad to bring me down or sort my car insurance out finally as it's taking the p*** me not being able to come down to any of the work partys

[Adam Skelding]

Went up to the track for the first time in ages yesterday.

The job the RHR boys have done is AMAZING.:thumbsup:

Sooooo many different layouts possible, sooo much grip in the wet or dry, none of that slidy astroturf in the wet. At one point I didn't realise the track was wet as the covered rostrum :thumbsup:kept it off my head.

Jumps and bumps are super-sorted. The straight isn't quite bowling green flat (pi## take, I think you should've rolled it once more, pi## take). Changes in elevation just add to the track's AMEZZIN-NESS.

RHR-Possibly the best Off-Road track in the country....:wub

[mark christopher]

so what tyres we need for the regional then?

[Northy]

Mark, just the usual suspects seem to work.

I've got to say good job on the video James, but don't you think the size things like the bomb hole and banked corner look smaller on there than they are, also you don't really get a feel for all the height changes. :woot:

As some people probably know this track feels like my second child! :lol: BUT I really must thank the people that have been down to help on the work party days, especially the core team we have had down there - you guys know who you are ;)

Just some small jobs to do before the NE regional now, but unfortunately that looks like it'll be the first time it will get used in anger. :( Would like to see lots of people using it and enjoying it :)

Cheers,

G

[mark christopher]

g last time i raced outdoors was with a couger 2 when it was new, need some more info please

[Mike Hudson]

Schumacher minispike yellow compound for dry and green for damp or wet and Ballistic spikes green or pink compounds should work well in the wet too.

[James]

I havent run my car on it on the full track, but when i did run round partially i used last years old yellows, in the dry and there was stacks of grip..
I think they were all using an assortment of old tyres yesterday - yellows/greens, not sure if someone had ballistics and the track was absolutely wet through...

So basically i'd imagine in the dry - anything but perhaps lean towards yellows.
Wet - yellows/greens ... :confused: they looked to be fine

Im sure the others will be on here with comments later...

[Lee]

The track does look the nuts, well done to all involved :thumbsup:

I cant wait to give it a run at the regional, from the video alone i would say it looks as good as any UK track i have driven. :thumbsup:

[Adam Skelding]

I ran yellows all day yesterday.
Dry, damp and very wet.

They weren't even vaguely new.

[ben]

I cant wait to give it a run at the regional

If you turn up......

[telboy]

If Carlsberg made RC tracks......


......RHR would be it!!!:thumbsup:

[DaveG28]

Looking awesome well done everyone!!

Are you going to be running more meetings after the national?

[OldTimer]

Looks great, i will have to try and get up for a 2wd regional :thumbsup:

[bigred5765]

I have a feeling the guest heat will be bigger than the regional one lmao:)

[Richard Lowe]

Best astro track in the country? I think so :)

I had decent yellows on my B4 and they were perfectly fine in the rain, lil Ben had BB's on when it was really wet and they were better - but it wasn't like an ice rink on yellows like other tracks can be ;)

[Mi Julie]

Me and Mia spent this weekend at Blyth with G as we wanted to get a good look at his 'second home' and his 'second child'. I have to say all those involved in this track should give themselves a huge pat on the back and be very proud, it looks great :thumbsup: :thumbsup:(and that's from a non-racers perspective).

Well done everyone! If anyone ever moans about it, they will have Mia to answer to.:D:D

Julie x x

[Lee]

And the teeth will be well on their way!!!
:thumbsup:

Why do yellows work in the wet then? Is it a different astro, more/less sand?

[chris68nufc]

Looks fantastic. Cant wait for the Regional! Just hope for decent weather now

[dbizzle5]

When is the NE regional folks?

[ben]

And the teeth will be well on their way!!!
