It was a really close call between TORCH and Slough (nitro) today, especially given the early weather and the track work done yesterday. Would love to see some pictures after it was all done, just to see what we missed.

Glad you had a good days racing!

Sorry chaps, we did not get a photo, if John k is down next week, I get him to up-date the site.

I can say it is about 1 - 1.5 seconds a lap faster, and has some really challenging features that saw lots of mistakes at the start of the day but eased off at the end.

Straight is now great and can really get some speed up and overtake, 511 and 502 great, got down to 28.48 second lap and 11 lap run today. :thumbsup:

I wanted to race this morning,but woke up feeling so crap(legs,arms and back sore) after spending the yesterday working at TORCH!. I had a quick spin around the track after the work and liked the new layout and jumps. Looking forward to next week:thumbsup:.

Went to Slough today, approximately 80 drivers, was a good day, will hopefully be down to TORCH on the 27th.
What was the general opinion of the track?
See you all soon.

Definitely more local, about 90 minutes each way to Slough for me... longer for Wylie on the way back, eh Dibble:lol:

Was a good day, only about 80 drivers and some iffy weather first thing, but it soon passed and dried up for a good days racing in the end. Think the leccy driving is helping my rather erratic buggy driving (I'm a truggy man at heart!), I do seem to be getting smoother with the nitro. Some way to go to catch Mr Wolfe though, excellent showing with 9th overall against some serious competition.

Clanfield next week, there's a truggy championship up for grabs and then some Durango action the week after me thinks.

Mikey hopefully on the 27th if everything turns up Simon is on the case for wheels and tyres and paid an extra £35 for motor and esc on 4 day delivery of HK.
So fingers crossed.

Motor and esc took 36 hours to get from Honk Kong to London how long to get from there 70 miles down the road by the Royal snail mail?
