York Indoor Regional

[Northy]

We have a meeting last night to sort this out.

One thing that people need to be aware of:

We will not be allowing people to have large open holes in thier shells that either:

a) allow a fan to protrude outside of the shell

or

b) allow a marshalls finger to go inside the shell and get caught on a fan.


I have noticed (while marshalling - ouch! :mad: ) that this is becoming more and more common. If this applys to your car then please fix it before York Regional, we will have a scrutineer at all times on race day that WILL fail your car.

This is a BRCA rule.

Thanks,

Graham

Now get your entries in! :D

[josh_smaxx]

What about holes that do not have a fan protruding/inside of them? Just mine has a big hole in the side but there isnt a fan on any more.

Also, any chance fo a post code? :D

[Chrislong]

Technically, the holes you make in the shell should only be made where the moulding is marked to be cut. This is an Efra rule, not sure if it is a BRCA rule.

I think G is more concerned about safety, than penalising someone for having a hole which causes no harm.

[josh_smaxx]

Ye, i'll put tape round the rim so it isnt sharp :)

[Col]

Bring the tape with you, so the hole can be covered (just in case...)

[josh_smaxx]

will do ;)

[mattym0310]

any other rules g?? are novak L motors allowed?? i know a few used them at teeside, not naming any names at all are we shane.. :D

oh yeh, i can help scrutineer on the day again if im needed :)

[josh_smaxx]

Oh that reminds me, can we make sure Ben is on scrutineering seens as he was annoying me about it when i did it as Teesside :D

Still any chance of a postcode?:eh?:

[LEGEND]

yeah a post code would be appreciated as the last time i went , i think you were at a different venue. And it would be a shame if i ended up going to the wrong venue.:rolleyes:

[josh_smaxx]

No, your wrong, it would be hilarious.

I can read a map allright, but we have a satnav so i might aswell use it.

[Richard Lowe]

are novak L motors allowed??
Nope not yet for BRCA meetings :(

[Northy]

The BRCA homologation lists are updated on a Monday usually, so if they go on there today then they will be allowed, if not then no. Sorry.

I heard they are in the process of being homologated though.

[Northy]

Looks like the 'L's are legal now, so you can swop the purple ring back to blue now Danneth....... :rolleyes:

G

[Mike Hudson]

YEY:D haha i'm sure plenty of people can change their purple ring back to blue now;):pthats good to hear as a fair few people would have had to buy a new motor or borrow one, thanks to brca for legalising the motors in time for YORCC :)

[Chrislong]

Looks like the 'L's are legal now, so you can swop the purple ring back to blue now Danneth....... :rolleyes:

G

LOL, Dan = busted!

[footey]

Its no problem Shane, I am really pleased the L motors are made legal now! I have got so used to them.

Who's the daddy eh? :D

G

[LEGEND]

Now that is the idiot proof way of giving somebody an adress. Instead of making them look for it.:D:D:D

[Northy]

So..........

Has everyone entered? I've been sketching a track today, should be good :D

Current entry:

2wd - 35
4wd - 64

G

[ben]

Remember the track has to has some big kick ass jumps. But ones that need some sort of skill and rhythm:D

lil ben

[LEGEND]

So what you are saying is that you need a huge wall of death. I can remember the one at teesside. IU managed to hit the roof with both my 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive.:rolleyes::cool::D

[josh_smaxx]

Ye, we want one awesome jump that gives the car great air, has time gained from landing it properly but needs some balls to launch the cars properly :cool: wall of death would be great mind. I wanted a crossover at teesside last week :(

EDIT: well, we want more than one jump, lots of small ones aswell, make sure its still recognisable as offroad.

[LEGEND]

Yes a bridge sort of jump would be great but i am not expecting it, it just makes it a little more fun to marshall as-well.:D

[ben]

Erm i didnt mean a jump like teesside had. Full throttle and land it somewhere near the landing:rolleyes::rolleyes: I mean big jumps which need throttle control and you need to hit a landing:) At a club meeting we had a semi wall of death because their was loads of table with fold out legs so we just folded out one set of legs was good.

Ben

[josh_smaxx]

Something as big as teesside but needs more skill, make it more interesting ect, at teesside there wasnt exactly much time gained from full throttling it and it wasnt exactly hard to land. My ideal jump would be like a triple but in the floor, like 3 bumps, wide enough apart not to clear in one and close enough together not to get a good run up for the next followed by a good, long table top then one more bump right after it so you need to land it correctly or it could end up in a bad accident. Just my £0.02 :)

[Northy]

Was that at York Ben?
Are those tables available for us to use? I've never seen them....

G

[AndyM]

i don't think they are there anymore...there was a massive pile of them, but they disappeared.

[andy_n]

hiya do you need to book in ?
i know that me and my brother shouldbe defanelty coming and weve never done a regional as of yet ?

[CraigM2610]

hiya do you need to book in ?
i know that me and my brother shouldbe defanelty coming and weve never done a regional as of yet ?

i think if you pm northy with your details he'll book u in

[rcracer]

I've been sketching a track today, should be good :D

G


Are we going to be able to see the corners if your only sketching the track :p

[xx4-nutter]

northy count me out of 2wd please.

sounds to much of a bad idea installing leckys in my S4 and building an x-6 up and installing electrics in that too lol

i cant wait....

should be an ace day ! last years track was awsome !;)

[Chrislong]

Are we going to be able to see the corners if your only sketching the track :p

Ha ha, its like "Art-Attack" on the gym floor....

[bigred5765]

northy did u get chris and conners details for weekend
and he say why do u never answer ur pms or say ok ur in or out lshake it all about ol

[bigred5765]

So..........

[bigred5765]

[bigred5765]

so were is it then

weres the sketch

[Northy]

Here's a picture of the track for you:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b213/Northynorthy/Track.jpg

[Medders]

Great !!! looks like my kinda track ;)

[Lee]

Fantastic but dont you think it gets a bit technical at either end:confused:


And i dont think that rostrum is wide enough.

Good work though, keep it up:cool:

[josh_smaxx]

OO OO, can we have a track design competition? :D i want a go.

[Northy]

Go for it, I might even use some of your ideas....

I'll judge them after I've got back from the pub... :D

G

[Cockerill]

I think we need to go the other way, and maybe have the rostrum at the otherside.

[josh_smaxx]

Heres my little attempt at a track design, i tried to keep it flowing, yet techincal and not flat out (well, maybe it is abit). I have never been to YORCC and dont know what the track is noramlly like/what is expected.

Anyway, heres my idea (very quick sketch on paint :D colours maybe a little psyche but hey):


http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/josh_2k7/YORCCtrackdesign4forindoorregional2.jpg

:eh?:

[AndyM]

its very basic

[ben]

Good try josh;)

[josh_smaxx]

:)

and the technical one:

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/josh_2k7/YORCCtrackdesignforindoorregional20.jpg

im gonna stop now.

[sosidge]

Ah, the good old "long obstacle thing with maybe a triple ect". I'm sure I raced on a track years ago that had a brilliant one of those, great feature!

I'm also a fan of tracks that include "some form of bumps or another jump". Just not enough of that kind of obstacle in modern tracks, it's a real shame :)

[josh_smaxx]

Ye, im a firm believer that modern off road tracks need spicing up :D

[AndyM]

the second one looks better Josh, good try dude:cool:

[josh_smaxx]

Ben said that was bad :(:confused: it was the first one i did.

[Northy]

Good effort on the second one fella, don't listen to little ben, he know nofing! :D

G

[bigred5765]

Good effort on the second one fella, don't listen to little ben, he know nofing! :D

G

so g are we going to see your layout for the track or are u saving it for the day:p

[Steve]

It’s the element of surprise Carl :) you will just have to waite till the day

[ben]

:DNorthys pi55ed hehe

[josh_smaxx]

:DNorthys pi55ed hehe

And he can still spell better than Ash :D

[xx4-nutter]

haha thats ace ! :D well in josh haha

cant wait, hopfully this year ill be able to do better with my new car ;)

[Richard Lowe]

So people do we want a 'big air' jump at some point or lots of small ones?

[rcracer]

i liked the big table top jump last year with the high grip mat on it, was great when you hit the down ramp :)

[Lee]

Big air is the future!!

Its what we lack in the uk;):rolleyes:

[Mike Hudson]

A jump that control is needed for a nice landing but withsome nice airtime too :cool:

[Lee]

No big air, who cares about landing:D


Its a good feeling when you hit the downramp and you know yo have nailed it:cool:

[LEGEND]

Well put Lee.

[Mike Hudson]

Doesn't take much skill to just full throttle up a big jump and hope for the best, will make the track track better if theres a skill to landing the jump correctly but that doesn't mean it still can't have big air.

[Richard Lowe]

Don't worry the jumps will require skill to get right ;)

[Mike Hudson]

Thats good :) I'll be able to help with the track building tonight

[andy110m]

When are the doors opening in the morning guys?

[Mike Hudson]

Think it would be around 8:00

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Can someone tell them at race control that I am not going. Or if you read this Northy I am not going as I am working in the morning. I am a bit pissed off that I am not going as G always makes a good track.

[Chrislong]

Can someone tell them at race control that I am not going. Or if you read this Northy I am not going as I am working in the morning. I am a bit pissed off that I am not going as G always makes a good track.

G left to pick up the track hours ago, he'll be there now as the doors open at 6pm on Saturday night. Several of us might, but I will also pass on the message if G doesn;t read this when he gets home later.

[woOdy]

Does anyone know if there is any room for tomoz? as my mate Bri wants to race 2wd.

[Spencer Mulcahy]

G left to pick up the track hours ago, he'll be there now as the doors open at 6pm on Saturday night. Several of us might, but I will also pass on the message if G doesn;t read this when he gets home later.

Cheers Chris.

[super__dan]

Woody I'd imagine you'll be fine

[andy_n]

hiya any ideas if there would be any chance of a plug socket available just to top up my tx if the batteries dont last ? or do you think people will be nice enough to let me top it up on there 12v ?
cheers
Andy

[Lee]

Has anyone got a power supply i can hook up too tomorrow?:confused:

Mine went pop:(

[josh_smaxx]

Are the doors really opening at 8 or is it that people are going to be turning up at 7? coz i wont get there till 8 but i still want half decent pitting.

[Mike Hudson]

The doors open at 8 and most people shall arrive at that time

[Mike Hudson]

the track is also absolutely ace :):p:cool: :D

[Cockerill]

The doors open at 8 and most people shall arrive at that time

Who Said that? I would imagine doors are opening closer to 7:30

[LEGEND]

Any ideas of what it will look like e.g. a simple drawing on paint.:D

[Northy]

Well said Mike, track is ace, 7 jumps I think :D

[Steve]

I woulnd say the doors will open when i wake up but tom is more right saying 7:30 ish

[ben]

Im sure everyone will have fun tommorow on the massoff feature we have:D I leave it at that. The track is really well thought out. FLowing corners, good jumps. What more could you want.

ben

[Chrislong]

What more could you want.

ben

Trophy girls!

[Mike Hudson]

Ohright sorry that i messed up saying 8:00 :rolleyes: but quite a few people won't be arriving tilla round that time, i actually can't wait the track is one of the best i've seen in a while...:)

[Chrislong]

tbh 8am is the usual time going by the norm', it just depends when the keyholder gets there - in this case (if its Steve) he lives around the corner and is always up early... no harm..

[AndyM]

ben and scamp have said it, but i'll say it again...

track is ACE! :D

can't wait till tomorrow.

[Mike Hudson]

we have a BIG surprise for yoo all 2moro hehe :p

[Steve]

Yeah i will be their around 7:30 tommorrow and i should not sleep in or try not to anyway.

[andy_n]

well i already cant wait it sounds mint although im noit a fan of waking up this early :o

[josh_smaxx]

Your getting me excited now :D i like big jumps, and ova stuff.

Also, Andy, im with you about getting up early :p

[josh_smaxx]

Ok, had af un day all in all, track i thought was demanding and the big double was very inconsistant for me thus putting me out of the final in the first lap :mad: oh well, racing goes on.

[andy_n]

ye pwas a damd good day
i dont think i kept any of the track consistant lmao
my car was the salmon pinkish shell dont ask about the colour

[josh_smaxx]

I found it to demanding for my level of driving to keep consistant, damn good layout and great fun but after a while it got a little frustrating not being able to get it right when it matters, guess i'll just have to practice more for next year :D

[rcracer]

All i can say is well done matty myers..;)...and well done york club for a top regional

[josh_smaxx]

Ye, well done matt, top result :D and very well organised, i was surprised how quick each heat went on, ran superbly i thought, just a shame some kid turned the lights off :mad:

[andy_n]

any ideas were the pics go that were taken i know that someone got ap ic of mine mid air which i wouldnt mind
cheers

[josh_smaxx]

I'll look through mine but i wont be putting them all up as i (mainly my friend) got over 300 :D i'll see if i can recognise your car though. Jimmy should do a race report on here with the pics on.

[andy_n]

cheers
was your friend the one with the stylish hair do ? thats how id say it anyway lol if so then yes you should have one of mine i think

[PaulRotheram]

Jimmy had blue hair, is that stylish?

[andy_n]

i dunno is it i thought he was the guy with red hair ?
no there hair had been like styled dont ask me what you call it though hehee

[josh_smaxx]

Probably was him, he was tall :D

[AndyM]

fantastic day, really enjoyed it. thanks everyone involved in running and setting up the meeting.:D

just want to say a well done to my bro, fantastic drive in the final! well done dude, best i've ever seen you drive ;):cool:

[ben]

Right then were shall i start. Good points:

Fantastic drive matt in the final. I just couldnt handle the pressure of you up my back door. haha.
The track was absoloutley brilliant really good layout. Dont see what was inconsistent about the double jump? It just needed a straight runup:rolleyes: haha comin from me.Bad points:


Didnt have the best of days BUT ive learnt alot about my driving and where i need to improve
:mad::mad::mad::mad:Greg williams knocked me out of the A-main in 2wd not happy haha. But thats racing.And again thanks everyone for an excellent meeting:D

lil ben

[Northy]

I've just got home at 9.30pm :( I'm fooked.

G

[ben]

I got home at 9 i think. Maybe could of been a few more york club members to help put the track away?

[Northy]

I've been doing stuff for this regional since yesterday morning, and I'm technically NOT a York club member :o

Anyway, always the same few.

I enjoyed today, but sorry for it dragging on a bit people :(

[mattym0310]

All i can say is well done matty myers..;)

thanks very much indeed guys!! :D:D was very pleased with my drive in the final.

was a top track, thanks to all the others that help organise and set it up especially northy. could have done with more of us packing the track away, sorry we couldn't help pack the second trailor, got back bout 8.30. thanks to derek and phil for the running of the meeting and [people seem to be forgetting these guys] simon and pete at scrutineering, must have been bored out ya minds sat there all day, cheers! :)

[bigred5765]

a big well done to all at york track was as usual ACE (Gdisign)
wel thats what am sezin lol:wtf:

[jimmy]

Track was indeed ace - I will do a lil report and put it online tomorrow. Sorry not many trophy photos but everyone ran off. :)

[Chrislong]

Shame it ran so late, but on a positive note, we all missed those Donkey's Dancing on Ice or whatever they do on ITV3... LOL. Nothing to miss on TV, just a Sunday roast..

Track was ace. Lots to do per lap, but not too much. nothing was not do-able without car control and plenty of concentration. Well done to York club for that.

Shame about the lights, but nevermind, was just one of those things, was a pure accident. Would have been annoyed if it had been a kid larking around unsupervised though, as they are, and they shouldn't be :mad: (i'll bring my cage)

Josh, practice makes perfect my friend, racing on tracks like this will only help you get better, racing on easy tracks will be of no benefit atall. I was watching you go around and I can't help but wonder if you have as much control as you think holding the tranny like that.... your choice ofcause, but I got to say it.... please do try a more conventional way and see if you can work with that better (i.e. not just 1 go and dismiss it)

[Robfo]

I thought the track was great, nothing on there really difficult but if you lost concentration it was easy to crash.

Thanks for those yellow springs Chris, i think they might be cursed though as i broke 2 wishbones with them on. lol :rolleyes:

[Chrislong]

Your welcome Rob, I did spot the breakages, I'll have the springs exorcismed before next use ;)

[CraigM2610]

as most have said great day racing (disappointing end for me :mad::D) and AWESOME race matt, never seen you drive better well done

[Mike Hudson]

WELL DONE MATT! never seen you drive so well, the track was great and very well thought out, I enjoyed the day very much despite loosing my concentration in both the 2wd and 4wd finals after leading them for abut half the races then just totally lost it haha ohwell I know i can do better, I was so tired by the finals lol :D Sorry i couldn't stay to help clear the track away, was forced to go home...:( Well done to everyone today and thanks for all the the support from race control, Scrutineers, Refs, track repair and anyone else i've missed out haha:D thanks to all for a great day

[Chris Harte]

Josh, practice makes perfect my friend, racing on tracks like this will only help you get better, racing on easy tracks will be of no benefit atall.

That was why I have gone back to sticks. Much easier for me to drive with them.
;)

[paulc]

as everyone else has said great track and well done to york club for a great meeting :)

[josh_smaxx]

That was why I have gone back to sticks. Much easier for me to drive with them.
;)

Maybe for you, but i cant drive for nout with sticks, its personal opinion.

I'll give it a go holding it normally for sure, would take me a while to even get close to the level i am now, never mind any better :p

[bigred5765]

how do u hold the transmitter then

[Chris Harte]

With the throttle in your right hand then then tilt if forward and steer with the left hand.

[josh_smaxx]

Ye, what Chris said, hold it n right hand, sort of lean it over and steer with left, only way i can drive but i suppose it could be holding me back so i might be able to improve from correcting it.

[Chrislong]

Ye, what Chris said, hold it n right hand, sort of lean it over and steer with left, only way i can drive but i suppose it could be holding me back so i might be able to improve from correcting it.

Hey Josh, it looked to me like you knew exactly where you wanted the car to go, but you responded slowly and held steering on too long for corners. You can't be getting complete control as it seems you know where the car should be going, its just not going there.

When i hold a tranny, within a few corners of the race starting I forget I am holding it, the thumbs move and the car goes & I just think about where I want it to go. Second nature.

[Northy]

Here's a vid of Jimmy's Burga going round:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaTxt7nUt2I

The big double in front of the rostrum doesn't look that big on the vid though

I did feel like i was driving like an idiot yesterday mind :eh?: im hoping that i can improve on that, if not then i will have to try and convert to holding it the old fashioned way :D its all a learning curve and trial and error for me.

[mattym0310]

did ya get any good pics of my car jimmy? or josh?

matt

[josh_smaxx]

I'll have a flick through :) see if Alex snapped any.

[Mike Hudson]

Anyone get any good snaps of either of my cars???

[mattym0310]

cheers mate, send em in a pm or email if ya do :)

[josh_smaxx]

cheers mate, send em in a pm or email if ya do :)

YGPM :)

Anyone get any good snaps of either of my cars???

Were you car 6 in 4wd? if so then i have a pic of that, i'll keep checking and get them all through to you via PM :)

[Chrislong]

Hey Josh, mine too please ;)

[josh_smaxx]

Sorry Chris, i (and Alex) seem to have left you out :p:( i wasnt allowed to bring my laptop so i only had around 300 pictures so didnt get everyones car, i'll make a special effort for you at the next regional though :p i might get people to put there names down if they definately want a photo (Note to Jimmy, you could make money off that idea :D)

[AndyM]

do you have any pics of my car? :D

it was the fugly BJ4 with a really really bad cavalieri copy shell?
no.9 i think.

thanks

[josh_smaxx]

thanks

I'll have a look.

Jimmy, whens your report going up? i really need to see some of your pics :D the jumping ones on last page are ACE!

[josh_smaxx]

Andy, did your BJ4 have a JConcepts sticker down the side? just thats all there is of the shell as its very nose up over the jump :D other than that i seem to have missed you aswell :( 120 ish drivers, 314 pictures and iv missed most of the people who want pics of there cars.

That and that he actually lost the paper results so I've just sent him them again via the gift of the 'tinternet ;)

Great report Jimmy, ace pics as always :D

G

[bigred5765]

josh if u want the throttle in ur right hand and steering with ur left just unscrew the pots and turn em through 90%

[Lee]

This one is ace, i saw jimmy walking round looking suspicious scratching his head whilst either northy or stu watched with the camera then boom another unsuspecting victim:D

josh if u want the throttle in ur right hand and steering with ur left just unscrew the pots and turn em through 90%

He uses a steerwheel transmitter, trigger with right hand, twisted down infront of him so the steerwheel is pointing forward and steers with left hand. Aerial pointing accross the rostrum at waist height.

I was talking to chris whilst josh was racing his 2wd final, what i dont get is what possessed you in the first place to hold the transmitter like this? I just cant see it feeling "natural" as chris says, and i understand what he means, your thumbs just do what your head tells them.

Thanks for putting on a great event York, probably the best indoor track I've raced on.



Can some one show me the way to the Indoor finals entry form please.

Considering I couldn't find my way round the track in the final, I now can't seem to find the entry form.

Well done boys close racing is always good to watch, whether it be an A final or a Z final. And the buzz you get from being in the battle is amazing:cool:

[ben]

Thats exactly what i felt at the start of my final when matt myers was basically touching my back door for the first half of the race. It definatley gave me a buzz because of such close racing:D

I dont know, ever since i played with RC cars (toys) that came with a steer wheel i only ever held them like that, never thought of a different way, my first hobby grade car came with steer wheel which i held like that and so on, i have tried it the normal way three times, first time i crashed my nitro moster truck in a neighbours car which he wasnt happy about, second time i broke my B4 and the third i hit someone else and broke there car, so with the track record behind me i never tried it again :p maybe i should try it again.
