Mick, Ian, Dave and myself were in Lucan last Sunday setting up (and Dan briefly). There is a good track cut and apart from a few extra jumps everything is ready.

So, Racing is scheduled for this Sunday (28th March). Aim to arrive at 10.30 as the track has to be cut and set-up for 11 when open practice starts.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

With the way the weather is at the moment and prediections for next few days I'd say we'll be putting in that chicane on the straight to avoid the "swamp".........

Do they make skis for rc cars?...... :D

No one had the chance to take photos of the new layout. Been too busy racing on it!!

Will and myself are away this week-end at the first round of the BRCA (UK) Nationals.

But there will be racing as normal on Sunday in Lucan.

I'm gonna try and get down with at least one other person to do a bit of running anyway :thumbsup:

15-04-2010, 08:50 PM
Ah.... He's only joking.

I didn't let everyone know about the week-end until definite plans were made.

It would be good to see you down again. Track in different again from what you raced last year.

There's racing this sunday from 10.30am. I urge people to try and arrive on time, as racing ran quite late last week as we started late.
Unfortunately, I won't be racing this Sunday as I'm working at the Rally of the Lakes in Killarney.

Might go out on Monday if anyone is up for it?????

07-05-2010, 09:47 PM
love it, so responsive in comparison. :drool: i've changed the springs, velcroed the shell, have the wheels ready to glue, just have to change the servo now. think i'll be asking you to order me a quicker motor though, could do with a bit more top speed. what's the deal with the transmitter battery connector? (click me) (http://i863.photobucket.com/albums/ab191/Dan_eire/connector.jpg) need to find these connectors for my battery pack and charger.

was at the track a while ago for a test run, so i'm looking forward to sunday!!

phew, tired after that post!

Great Race day yesterday - fantastic to see 9 4wd's competing!
Well done to everyone, the standard of racing is definitely improving across the board!

I'll have the results from May 9th and yesterday up on the website soon (Mick B, can you email the results from yesterday?).

RE: Power for charging: I'm on the hunt for a 2 or 3kw generator at the moment at the right price and some suitable cable, outdoor sockets etc, so that everyone can have power for charging if needed. I'll be back with updates as they happen.
MiCk B.
17-05-2010, 04:06 PM
It was a good day yesterday. Nice to see so many people out racing.

I'll send on the results at some stage this evening.

From how the racing went yesterday. There are a few things that we need to look at to make it better for everyone involved. A bigger generator for the club looks like it's a requirement at this stage. Left a lot more space for pitting with the extra racers & people parked in the car park. How did people feel about the mic, were you able to hear announcement from race control?
