Think Grant had a go to but then he realised it was Brooky instead :lol:

[mikeyscott]

Bloody hell boys! I get home, have dinner and then there is like 25 posts on the TORCH section!

I'll get Mr Brown to answer your questions later.. as you don't want a slow person giving advice! ;)

The Cricketers is the nearest pub (DC and Nathan have been there before). Track will be running the same way as last time - clockwise (once we implement the track changes with our new astro turf we'll be able to do more.)

www.torchracing.org.uk is the website and there are pics on there. I may have a few more I can email to DC..

No onsite buger van, unless someone can recommend one... Plus I've heard they can be mega expensive..

Barebecues are allowed :D

I think I'll have to put you lot in your own little heat!

Nathan's the man who's driver round the track the most and he posted his torch set-up in our section ;) all be it on a soaking wet track.

You can race in both classes if you wish.. I'll prob only race one so that I can manage the meeting and look after you rable!

Can you lot email me your details - PTs, frequencies etc.

Remember boys we're a work in progress, DC and Nathan are the people who have been before, but we are certainly making something great!

Trish, bring the Cougar SV weight set ;)

Yes it's an all day meeting - http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45498

[SteveB]

Oi, haha, it was true though, haha, so why did your box fall over five times?

Twice because of the wind and three times because Neil and Steve wanted to join in the piss take ;)

Oh and tyres are black and round :p

[mw02veg]

[mikeyscott]

Mikey your qualified to answer these qusetions!!! You have done loads of laps there

In the wet it's ballistic pinks spikes and in the dry it's Schumacher mini spikes and staggered ribs.

Some run yellow mini spikes and some run blue mini spikes.

[mw02veg]

[David Church]

Well the tyre choice narrows it down:lol:

[David Church]

I like clockwise for 2wd and counterclockwise for 4wd, so I am not sure what car to run.

[mw02veg]

Nope nearest model shop is MK / DMS / Demon Power - sad but true..

A few of us have a selection of Cougar and Cat spares.

I've never run anything other than the soft - so pass. Didn't even fit the stiff deck to the Cougar - soft deck went straight on.

I think you should run anti clockwise to stop the home track advantage. or alternate between heats so i can get even tire wear

[David Poulter]

How much space is there for pitting?

[mikeyscott]

I think you should run anti clockwise to stop the home track advantage. or alternate between heats so i can get even tire wear

Oh gosh this is so very funny. Looking forward to Sunday guys!

Very worn yellows work - I hear you all have lots of those ;-)

[mikeyscott]

I think we'll be looking at 4 rounds of qual and then 3 leg finals.

RBR or FTD to be decided on the day, we traditionally are a FTD club.

[mikeyscott]

How much space is there for pitting?

If people park on the hardcore away from the track you'll be able to squeeze in like you do at EPR.

[mikeyscott]

Gas or charcole??? are there any supermarkets/ local butchers for burgers ?????

Both fine, but just away from the track etc.

[Crash]

There was me hoping my second run at torch would be a nice quiet event and look at this lot!!! Haha
spares turned up from jconcepts today so hopefully I'll hit 13 laps this time

[mikeyscott]

Hi,

Good man, it'll enable you to relax and tune the car etc.

If you're into the 13 lap zone you'll be at the front of the regular TORCH racers (with the exception of SteveB).. The Schumacher lot and maybe Big E I would expect to be into the 14 laps ;)

Fingers crossed for the weather to be with us and a great days racing.

Cheers,

Mike

[simoncrabb]

Mikey, if there's this lot rocking up, what time will I have to get there to get trackside with my love bus?

And can't I have an astroturf mountain in the middle of it again please?

[mikeyscott]

Mikey, if there's this lot rocking up, what time will I have to get there to get trackside with my love bus?

[bigred5765]

You did move it, it gave Rob a nice clear spot to fall on.

I quite liked the mountain though, I was going to get the rock crawler out.

[simoncrabb]

are there many speed cameras on the way to torch? as my old man drives at 200 mph most of the way :D

[mikeyscott]

It's rained here, but I think the forecast is dry for the remainder of the week.


http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/11?area=SO32

Light rain isn't a prob, just as long as it's nothing like last bank holiday!

Thanks to those who've sent me their details etc.

[Gnarly Old Dog]

I can't speak for the E-train but no, sadly I'm not able to make it this time but it already sounds like it'll be one to remember - what with Grant and his trombone, Biscuits and his ginger nuts, Ross with his multicoloured tyres and black steelies and curtains with his right-sided pit table. Lets just hope that Curtains finds a wing that he can dial in to suit his eclectic balance of low speed numbness and high speed sensitivity:thumbsup:

Hope they'll be a live results feed somewhere?

Can someone video the finals please and please DC, can we have more of your classic one-liners in the commentary.

Or perhaps you could commentate as you race?

[David Church]

i could try and commentate while I race!!!

And what was your favorite 1 liner???:thumbsup:

[Gnarly Old Dog]

I dunno Dave, you come out with some really good ones a lot of the time.

I did quite like the one you came out with on Sunday about racer Tom Jones and it not being unusual - ( sorry Tom) but my all time fave has to be when Keefy broke out at one of the nationals whilst in the lead

"Oh No, Biscuits has crashed .... It's broken biscuits!"

Quality!

Sure you can think up some fresh ones - especially now he's let on about his affinity for Ginger Nuts :woot:

[David Church]

I will have to use the ginger nuts line, thats quality.

You won't be surprised to hear that I don't think these things up, they just sort of fall out my mouth!!! hahahaha

[R666REW]

On a serious note is there a mcdonalds close as will need breakfast or will u be supplying bacon rolls????

[David Church]

Just kidding, i have no idea:p

[mikeyscott]

Sorry while I pick myself off the floor for a serious question :p

Not that I know of, which way will you be coming from? There is a Macy D's at Jun 7 of the M27, so you could come TORCH via there. It is a bit of a detor..

I'll ask some of the Pompey skate boys ;)

No bacon roll van etc. I thought about it, but apparently you have to hire them! I thought they'd just be happy with some income from the paying public!

BBQ, so you could cook Steve and I some as we book you lot in!

[mikeyscott]

Are you mental??? haha its in the middle of nowhere!!!

Just kidding, i have no idea:p

Team Schumacher delegation - Ross is now cooking breakfast :thumbsup:

oooooohhhhhhhhh the battle rages on between these two!!!!!

[mikeyscott]

oooooohhhhhhhhh the battle rages on between these two!!!!!

Simon Crabb's got his camper van.. Simon and Ross can be tasked with it, now there is a good idea :thumbsup:

A TORCH & Schumacher combined effort!

[simoncrabb]

I'm certainly planning to fire up a barby mate!

[mikeyscott]

I'm certainly planning to fire up a barby mate!

Chef de cuisine Crabb :woot:

Well volunteered

[mw02veg]

Nice to have you back Mikey, thought you had disappeared from the racing scene then.

But you must have been spending so much time at the track preparing it for this weekend I can’t blame you for leaving the computer alone for a bit.
:thumbsup:
