New off road venue in west yorkshire?

[jameswilkinson7]

Hi guys.
A few of us are looking in to starting an outdoor off road 10th electric track in Keighley west yorkshire. We have been offered a nice piece of land that we can do preity much what ever we want with. The area is large enough for a nice sized track with plenty of pitting space. Im posting this to see how much interest we have from racers in this area. Our local club 10electric has round 10 members that have shown an interest in racing. We require people to help set this up and help run it. If you are interested please post or send me a pm. If we can get enough people interested we will go for it!

[cobra_shadow]

count me in james

[Col]

Will be tough with batley just around the corner.
Good Luck! Can't have too many off road tracks

[jameswilkinson7]

Its a really nice spot. It would be a shame to let it slip.

[JJ The Boat Wizzard]

count me in james

Me 2 , you never know paul and mark n alan might show up!

[MRD]

Me 2 , you never know paul and mark n alan might show up!

Yea, but JJ-Mag, you need to get a car that will last more than a lap ;).

[jameswilkinson7]

LOL:D

[JJ The Boat Wizzard]

You mean more laps than your durga , anyway i have a Mi 3.5 , TC4, T4 , Madrat , and a X6 (mabi on the x6) NONE OF WITCH HAVE FALLEN APART

[JJ The Boat Wizzard]

Yet lol (laughs nervously)

[jameswilkinson7]

You got a madrat now?

[jameswilkinson7]

That wont last long!! LOL:D

[JJ The Boat Wizzard]

yeh the PRO X - version - atleast i will have when it gets delivered

And it will last long with all mi carbon fiber bits :P

[MRD]

You mean more laps than your durga , anyway i have a Mi 3.5 , TC4, T4 , Madrat , and a X6 (mabi on the x6) NONE OF WITCH HAVE FALLEN APART

Mi3.5 run twice, TC4: not run yet, T4: not run yet, Madrat: not run yet, x6: not run yet.

[JJ The Boat Wizzard]

HA oj , mark is your lazer for sale

[SuperSparkSteve]

[stampede vxlboy]

to far for me :lol:

[andyr]

sounds good when will it be up and running

[Col]

When you all put the hard work in to get it running!!
These things don't build themselves...

[jameswilkinson7]

You interested in helping out Col?

[SuperSparkSteve]

Will be tough with batley just around the corner.
Good Luck! Can't have too many off road tracks

Why cant we have too many off road tracks?

[Nick Goodall]

Why cant we have too many off road tracks?

I think he means there is no such thing as TOO many, as in loads is a great thing :lol:

[SuperSparkSteve]

lol, that makes sense

[daz]

Good luck with the new track hope it goes well, you could maybe get it included for next years regionals and save all the Yorkshire folk travelling up north to dark and dingy geordie land (runs and hides). Couldnt you build it closer to York as we dont have a outdoor track.

[SuperSparkSteve]

i can get a load of 1.2 square meter 6 mm ply an some 4x2 timber from work. should be good enough to make a few jumps out of it.

[Col]

I think he means there is no such thing as TOO many, as in loads is a great thing :lol:

lol, that makes sense

Cheers, Nick, exactly what I meant!

[jameswilkinson7]

OK guys. Seems to be a bit of interest. Were meeting up at the site tomorrow at 1.30 to discuss where to go next.. Anyone else interested that would like to come along please get in touch.

[emtee]

I think he means there is no such thing as TOO many, as in loads is a great thing :lol:

Please excuse Steven our Southern brother... he's not quite grasped the subtle nuances of the great Yorkshire dialect yet!!! :woot:

Where in Keighley is the proposed track gonna be please? :confused:

[jameswilkinson7]

The land is by Marley stadium.... http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?client=firefox-a&channel=s&hl=en&q=google+bd20&ie=UTF8&ll=53.873926,-1.883273&spn=0.001512,0.003449&t=h&z=18 :D

[Northy]

OK guys. Seems to be a bit of interest. Were meeting up at the site tomorrow at 1.30 to discuss where to go next.. Anyone else interested that would like to come along please get in touch.

I don't think tomorrow would be the best day to get people there with the regional on at Batley. Why don't you come down to Batley and see what the track looks like to give you some ideas? Or even race at the regional?

[cobra_shadow]

now now children play nice toghter lol

[SuperSparkSteve]

Just a quick update. A few of us went over there the other night cutting the grass, got about 2/3 of the way round before it chucked it down! lol

The track is about 35m wide an 40m deep. next time we go over we're gonna get some pics on here to show the size of it.

James at this very min is off to pick up a shed load of half round guttering for the track.

We're planning on going over there saterday, if anyone would like to help out or even just pop over for a look/chat, your more than welcome.

[NeilD]

....

[MRD]

We've just done over 7 hours of strimming, now we just need a large mower if anyone has one lying around that they dont need :D, preferebly ride-on. Its got potental to be a good venue. Good work so far guys.

[cobra_shadow]

Great work on the site Sat afternoon as Mark says all the boys really worked hard, well most ( you know who you are ) lol.

[trevpotter]

Hello, I live in Skipton and am looking to come back to 1/10 off road after a long time off. Used to go to Harrogate club but nothing local enough now so a club in Keighley would be ideal. I go back to something called the craven model car club which was a good club in the 80's with lots of members. Let me know at what stage the planning is and I might have to open my wallet and spend some cash on a new car then turn up and destroy it. Double cost as 11 year old son is wanting to race too. Im an electrician if my skills would help with any setting up then please ask. Cheers Trevpotter Hi guys.

[jameswilkinson7]

Hi trev. I used to race at craven model car club!!!... those were the days! I started with a falcon and progressed to a hotshot. Ive pmed you with some more details anyway... If you need any more info please get in touch:D

Picked up a great mower last night.. Nicknamed "THE PIG" when you see her you will see why... She means bussiness though!:D

[cobra_shadow]

so james when is the pig getting put to work next?

[SuperSparkSteve]

Im a bit worried as James keeps referring to the mower as "she"! I hope he's willing to let others have a go with "her"! lol

[emtee]

POST SOME PICS.. POST SOME PICS.. POST SOME PICS.... :woot:

[cobra_shadow]

how about I take some pics with me on sunday ? will that do ?

[jameswilkinson7]

The pig is what he wants to see!!:D

[chalky]

what yorkshire needs is a good 1/8 off road track.would you have room for that as well?

ie not astroturf

[SuperSparkSteve]

what yorkshire needs is a good 1/8 off road track.would you have room for that as well?

ie not astroturf

We are thinking off keeping the track just grass for now. Are you thinking about 1/8 nitro or electric?

[chalky]

nitro 1/8 cant see the point in 1/8 electric

grass is fine. you could probably make the track to accomodate both 1/8 and 1/10 so you would have more people to help build the track (2:cry:)and get it off the ground

is this where the stock car club is as well?

[Col]

I think (after NRX) that it's best not to mix 1/8 and 1/10.
However it's not my call, so do what's best for the track!

[SuperSparkSteve]

I can see where ur coming from Col, its hard to mix 1/8 and 1/10 as nitro run 20 min heats an electric run 5 min heats. That makes it hard to keep it fair with everyone getting the same amount of track time.

[Col]

That's not what I meant.
The two cars require different tracks to suit their dofferent characteristics (sp).
For example - an 8th track is too big for 10th, and a 10th track is too small for 8th. And that's just the start!
A compromise could be made to run both, but then you struggle to get people traveling to race because the track is not the best available for their type of car.

[chalky]

why not try and cater for both to start with and see how the entries go it will bring in some money for the club also come autum/winter all the elec boys go indoors. if you have a decent track you will get 1/8 cars all year round

1/8 only run 5 min heats but have longer finals

Talk about butting in lol but did you mannage to get it all strimmed after i left you to it and who's got mi strimmer :woot: - oh and steve m8 nitros run 5 min heats and long finals :D

[jameswilkinson7]

Yeah John. We got it all strimmed in the end... I was aching in the morning!:cry:

Going down on saturday to cut the grass again. This time with the PIG:D Then I think were looking towards getting a meeting on:D Need to take a look at the calender to make sure there are no clashes first.

[cobra_shadow]

[SuperSparkSteve]

what time is everyone going down on sat ?

[andy]

it would be good if you could run 8th nitro i would come:D

[jameswilkinson7]

it would be good if you could run 8th nitro i would come:D

Ok guys. We have permission to race 10th scale electric at the moment. What we intend to do is get a few meetings run and see how things go before we start looking at 8th scale. Im not saying that we wont run it. But we only have permission for the 10th electric so far... Lets see how it goes. :)

[cobra_shadow]

Just back from the track. A few more cuts and what not and we could be ready

[SuperSparkSteve]

Just a couple of pics from yesterday to show the size of the land.

[jameswilkinson7]

Andy Pattison taking a deserved break!:D

[cobra_shadow]

working on the track again last night and it looks like we are getting to the stage where we can think about track layout :)

[cobra_shadow]

the club now has its own facebook ten electric :)

[cobra_shadow]

sat at 1pm working on the track anyone coming?

[MRD]

I would have come across on Sat but I've been full of cold all weekend. I should be there this Sat but we can sort that out in the pub Friday night. I've gotta beat Nori at pool.

[jameswilkinson7]

Had a little get together today... Just a few people. We set up a track and tried it out:D Were looking at having a proper meeting 2 weeks today:D Anyone interested please get in touch (BRCA members only)

[Col]

If you live near to the track why dont you help get it ready? Instead of coming on here and posting silly comments:thumbdown:. I would also suggest sorting out your spelling and grammar before you post something.

To the guy's building the track keep up the good work another track in the northeast area is great.:thumbsup:

Thank you we have worked very hard with over 20hrs worth of work so far

[stampede vxlboy]

i have said i would help do the track with them . but james never got back to me mate. so i have said for the last 3 weeks i would help out but i am not putting any money into the track . and keep up the good work you have all done .
thanks

[jameswilkinson7]

Were off down Friday evening at around 6 ish.

[SuperSparkSteve]

We have always posted on here when and what time we are going down to do some track work. Any help that people can give, no matter how small would be very much apprecaited.

At no point has anyone been asked to cough up money when they come to help out! There are 4 of us that have started this club and we have all dug into our own pockets to fund this, James being the person that has spent the most of his own money. James is also the person that took time out to come and have a look at the car you couldn't build properly STAMPEDE VXLBOY.

We are doing our best to provide people with a good outdoor track. These things take time, please be pateint with us.

[stampede vxlboy]

i know james did and come a see my car and all best with the track

[jameswilkinson7]

The "pig" has had a mishap! It needs an new drive chain!... My be a little later than 6ish?

[MRD]

Nooooo, not the Pig!!. I'll be there at about 6:30 with the ply. Get well soon piggy.

[jameswilkinson7]

Dont worry... Its under control!

[emtee]

Anyone interested in racing Saturdays? Or is Sunday better?

What day are you currently considering? w/e is better for me mainly due to traffic and racing time... 'n if you do w/e you can do daylight hours so you are not restricted as the nights start draw in..

PS.. the PIG looks lovely 'n the track is developing nicely too!! Good work fellas... :thumbsup:

[jameswilkinson7]

What day are you currently considering?

The first meeting is going to be on the Sunday the 2nd Starting at around 1.30pm... Saturdays are possible, as is a night through the week.

[cobra_shadow]

weekends are better for me as i work until 8pm every night
will be racing on sunday 2nd for sure

[trevpotter]

Sorry to hear about the pigs illness, hope it gets better soon. Thank to James and all the Lads at Marley last sunday, the venue is really good and with some more work will be really good. Cheers James for letting an old git driver get behind the sticks again. Will be in touch after the hols. I cannot stress all the hard work and effort that people have put into getting this new club and venue up and running, it is appreciated.

[cobra_shadow]

was just reading the Racers thoughts post and that sounds like a great idea maybe something we could bring to our little club ?

[SuperSparkSteve]

Anyone interested in racing Saturdays? Or is Sunday better?

maybe if we get enough interest we could do both, but on alternate weekends, so 1 week we have a Saturday meeting and the week after we have a Sunday meeting.

What do people think??

[Col]

Sounds like no-one but the hardcore members will know when you'll be racing.
Personally I'd stick to one day.

[jameswilkinson7]

Yep, Just one day for now. Sunday, every fortnight. We were interested to see which day would be the best? Anyway. First meeting is at 1pm (setting up track) on this Sunday:D

[SuperSparkSteve]

Sorry i couldnt make it down on Sunday guys. Did i miss anything good??

[stampede vxlboy]

sorry could not make it this sunday. as my esc burnt out sunday morning i tested it and it was fine then 2 mins esc went :drool:

[daz]

[cobra_shadow]

[stampede vxlboy]

[stampede vxlboy]

ok thanks mate how much is it for the day:thumbsup:

[SuperSparkSteve]

ok thanks mate how much is it for the day:thumbsup:

At the moment we charge £4. last sunday we managed to get 5 rounds and a final in.

The next race meet is on Sunday 16th aug, your more than welcome to come along and there's plenty of us that will be more than willing to help you out and give you some pointers.

[stampede vxlboy]

how long does racing last all day. or just a couple of hours :D thanks guys

[SuperSparkSteve]

we will be there at about 1 to set the track up, aim to start racing at 2. i think the guys finished at about 5/6ish but it all depends on how many people turn up. There was about 12 people racing last weekend but as we have just started the club numbers will be low until the word gets about. hopefully anyway!! lol

[cobra_shadow]

after packing up last meeting we was done for about 7.30pm
a few of us was setting up at about 12ish but we are asking most to turn up at 1pm
at the moment we are running 2 rounds with 5 min break after round 2 before round 1 starts but as more people come this will change.

[SuperSparkSteve]

Just a quick reminder, we are racing this Sunday. If you would like to come down to race or just to have a look you are more than welcome. Tracking building will start at about 1 with racing starting at about 2.

hi does anybody have any spare pinion gears that i can lead me for racing on sunday i am using mamba castler 4600kv :thumbsup:

[SuperSparkSteve]

hi does anybody have any spare pinion gears that i can lead me for racing on sunday i am using mamba castler 4600kv :thumbsup:

i've got a full set of pinions, i'll lend u any that u need Simon.

[stampede vxlboy]

got the traxxas bandit vxl to weight is 1726grams is that too heavy?:lol:

[stampede vxlboy]

what size pinion gear does people use on the track i got a 19/20/23/25/28 /21

[Si Coe]

Heavy normally equals stable so thats a good thing. Won't make you the fastest thing around the track, but that new Mamba of yours should propel your Bandit as fast as it can handle even with the lead.

You'll be fine!

Now get out there and race with any more faffing! Jeez, you're like a woman......

[SuperSparkSteve]

Im not sure what pinion u should use with a bandit, bring all of them along and have a bit of trial an error. the track will be open for a bit of practice before racing starts so u can have a bit of a play around.

Like Si Coe said, heavier the car the more stable it will feel over bumps. Maybe u should ask Si Coe to come down and be your pit bitch for the day!! lol

[stampede vxlboy]

thanks si coe

[stampede vxlboy]

i've got a full set of pinions, i'll lend u any that u need Simon.hi mate have you got any pinion gear to sell i need14/15/16/17/18/19/20 if not i will order some :lol:

[Col]

They're hard to get hold of because no-one runs them, so the chance of a spare is slim

[stampede vxlboy]

[samd]

Weather at batley look good guys if anyone fancys following the sun?, im not trying to temp people away from your track but if the weather is too bed batley doesnt start until 11.00

[stampede vxlboy]

after dinner :(

[samd]

Batley club this sunday. Track prep at 10.00AM, racing starts at 11.00AM.

[stampede vxlboy]

this track nothink to do with batley ok :thumbdown:

[stampede vxlboy]

this track is new and . people dont want to know about batley there try to get it up and running like the rest of the tracks in the uk :thumbdown::thumbdown:

[daz]

Get him told Simon.:thumbsup:

[stampede vxlboy]

sound like your day i wil try batley:confused:

[Rich D]

Erm - surely hes just letting you know that theres another venue you are welcome to go to should the local weather mean you cant use your own track :confused:

[stampede vxlboy]

batley way to far mate 15 miles away from here lmao:mad:

[Rich D]

Probably not the best attitude to have when your looking to race yourself and gain advice from experienced racers.

15 Miles is a local track, most here travel all over the country to race. Worksop is around 70 miles from my place - i class that as my local buggy venue.

[daz]

Thats not far fella, its only a 20 minute car journey. Could be another option for you if the weather turns pap.

[stampede vxlboy]

it is when you have not got any transport

[Col]

Real man race in all weather.

Jimmy's photo...

[SuperSparkSteve]

the track is a lot higher than the stream running next to it, it would take alot of rain to flood it! I dont think theres any chance of our race meet getting called off. We will be there at 12. Hope to see you all there.

[stampede vxlboy]

car ready to races:thumbsup:

[samd]

Only trying to help out, if the weathers too bad for a all grass track. Anyhow, its looking ok now

[jameswilkinson7]

No worries Sam. I think Simon got his wires crossed a little! Its going OK the area is coming along nicely now. Were starting to think about getting some permanent features set up. Also looking into the possibility of running 1/8th through the winter.... If that's OK with the other guys. The track area seems to have excellent drainage. Apparently it was used as a land fill years ago. Maybe that helps? Anyway as Steve says meeting up at 12 - 1 to prep track and race whatever the weather:D The model engineers will be there too with their trains.... Train rides 40p, BARGAIN:D

[michael]

Hi James , could you tell me about the new track and where its located . Me and my 2 boys would like to come along some time . Thanks .

[jameswilkinson7]
