Few hours of track work

[racingdwarf]

We do need to give the tracks a bit of TLC soooo who is free and when????? saturdays, sundays morning or afternoon???

I can supply most of the needed tools, but bring what you have:)

I'm free most saturday's with the exception of the 14 May which is this one coming up. Would prefer a morning start although I'm not really fussed.

Dad might be free to do something during the week if anyone else is available, I'll have an ask.


I reckon it would be worth lifting the track after this sunday's meeting the 15 May, give the grass a nice cut and then meet up the following weekend to work on a new layout? I know it would make the day a little longer but as we're all at the track surely it makes a little sense?

The jumps also need a bit of work, new on and off slopes are the most vital, new kicker to go in the dirt section to stop the buggy goin out of eye line, plus it would open that part up:thumbsup: rear action there;)
but we could split with a few workin on the jumps n the rest on the track,
im in for track day, just say where :thumbsup: n when!!!

I would love to give you a hand when I have some free time also I might be able to borrow a mini digger and roller for free if I speak to my boss.

THE MORE THE MERRIER

Yes people its that time again, we r gonna b working on the 10th track . THIS SAT. Dave is gonna cut the grass very short (ALL the pipework has been lifted already .) So we r gonna lift n replace the ramps, possibly relocate them and re-design the whole layout, and lay the pipework. Dave will be bringing tools, nails etc, we could do with some carpet, or roofin felt. Just bring yourself n whatever u think may b handy, n ure buggy 2 test it!! :thumbsup:

That could be most useful depending on the type of pile, or perhaps we could just carpet the inside of the container :D

If you drop it down Friday it'll be worth sticking in the container so it doesn't get rained on before we lay it where required.

[Juttie]

The pile is short will prob drop of sat as im up city as I have to take car to lenwade for some work and near the airport for my tracking, is the container left open?

[jcb]

The container doesn't have a lock on it. If you head up in the afternoon on Saturday there'll be some people there any way.

So 2 ramps or not 2 ramps, that is the question !!!!!! Now as u know I am for the more jumps d better, but majority rules n stuff.... I say re-surface n re-ramp both, but make them both interchangable, so one big table top 1 week , 2 different jumps the next week, with the ramp able to go on any side. Also even the takeoff on the dirt jumps with the carpet, It needs pinnin down somehow though. New kicker for the dirt section, to stop u losein sight of ure car, could be a nice big ramp as theres pleanty of room.... u land halfway up the straight, or even just a small ramp to throw the dirt off the tyres. I think we should open up both the dirt jumps, flatten or level one of the sides. It will take very little time n no parts, just a shovel!! Easy track change for little effort.
We will b at NBC this sat. around 1pm. We r going to change EVERYTHING so if your not there u dont get a say in the NEW track design......Its up 2 U:thumbsup:

[losi8rob]

I think we should rename the new revamped track. Maybe we could call it THE KYOSHO RACEWAY?

Just seen this...Kyosho raceway! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Juttie]

Have left sum carpet there is more to come may try and pop up later with it
