[The Chef]

Working on my pass already:)
:woot:

[dp racing]

Will there be any junior races this sunday? thinking of bringing my little lad for his first go?

[mikeyscott]

I "may" be there, but it's my father's 65th birthday coming up next week

Juniors, we always try an accomadate them where possible, either through their own heat if enough juniors are theree etc.

[racingben]

Hoping to come along but not likely as I'm away working from Thursday to Saturday.

Shame as I've modified the monkey so that it has x4pro roll bars front and rear. Can't wait to try it out. Hoping if the weather is good I can get a bit of running in on the silverstone track on Thursday evening.

[ASKay]

Hoping to be there, blown my servo:o, so trying to get a replacement (low profile) and spare in time, (also need to bring my membership forms and cash for TORCH)...:thumbsup:

[freddie]

i will come down if the weather is good !!:thumbsup:

Hi, we were thinking of coming down on Sunday to have a go. The boys have not done off road before, apart from in the garden :thumbsup: but race 1/10 touring cars. Craig has an Evader EXG (2wd) with a 10.5 which I am assuming is OK but young Ross(Junior) has an HPI Blitz (2wd) with Dakar rally bodyshell which I am not sure if that would be allowable?? No idea what motor is in it but I could upgrade it to a 10.5 for the meet if the chassis is OK.

I see on the website you need to be there by 9; is the track open earlier for practice?

Cheers, Pete

[MrMagoo]

Hey Pete, John Clarke (ex of Skandia) here. Would be good to see you and catch up. If you need a car I have an Ansmann two wheel drive that you're welcome to borrow.

[racingben]

No racing for me now.

Taking little one to cinema to see 'the wiggles'. Four grown ozzy men in different coloured jumpers that started doing some kids shows to earn a couple of bucks before university - ended up selling more albums than kylie!

Wil be thinking of you guys as I sing along to classics such as 'hot potato', 'fruit salad' and 'wake up Jeff!' :D*










* will be having a great time with Shelby so probably won't give you a second thought.:p

[yellowshark]

Hi John, well that was surprise! albeit a pleasant one; some good deciphering by you there;). Thanks for the offer on the car, I will pm you to sort some details.

[dibble34]

I hope to be there. Racingben i just opened my xx4 and you left your link lead for the saddle packs in there. You planning to come back to Torch at all?

[MrMagoo]

Are you bringing the laptop along Dibble? Would like to give the speedo a once over after the issues last time out!

Pete- no problem. I'm camping on the IoW till Saturday and internet access is patchy so appologies if my redponses take some time! The car is all set to go just need to add Rx and calibrate the speedo.

[The Chef]

i'M HOPING THE WEATHER WILL BE KIND.

[Dudders]

Need a PC going down to TORCH from me this weekend. Can anybody help? :thumbsup:

[The Chef]

Do you want one taking down? I can do it.

[Dudders]

Do you want one taking down? I can do it.

Please mate, CPU, 17" plus normal bits. Let's talk tonight. Thanks fella.

[The Chef]

You do mean that you would like me to take it down to someone don't? Not that you need one taking down to use? As I only have a mac.

Where are you now?

[Dudders]

Just off to solicitors so I'm out for the rest fo the day and evening. Yes, need a small system taking down to pass to Spongebob aka Mr Crabb.

[The Chef]

Thats fine. off to sort out the pre nup:p

[dibble34]

I'll chuck it in the car mate.

[simoncrabb]

Ahh, PC via Chef, ace, perfect, thanks.

I'll ensure I remember Chef''s and stuff for Dudders too!

And stuff for everyone else too!

We've got a 15% off motors offer on at the moment, which WILL be valid trackside at TORCH on Sunday.

[The Chef]

7.5 motor for me please HPI i think.:thumbsup:

[yellowshark]

Hi John I have PM'ed you

[yellowshark]

Hi guys what would be a reasonable starting FDR for the track 2WD with 10.5 & non timing speedo (ie what I would call Gen2 - Nosram Pearl). Cheers Pete

[mikeyscott]

7.5 motor for me please HPI i think.:thumbsup:

I have the 6.5 version in 511 and it's v nice

[chris_dono]

Hi, not been to the club before, but there's a few of us thinking of coming down tomorrow, are there any rules we should be aware of ? control tyres etc ?

[The Chef]

They seem to be a very nice motor for the money. A couple of people have said that they are very good.

I'll get me one of those:)

[SteveB]

No rules with tyres, only on the summer championship we use Schumacher Controlled tyres, most important rule it's fun and relaxed atmosphere, Other than the usual 1/10th rules,

[chris_dono]

[martin so16]

Whats the format for a club day please?

just turn up book in and race i will be onsite by 8 so you can practis if you want booking in should be about 8.30 and we plan to start racing by 9.30 done for about 2 ish :thumbsup:

[ASKay]

With todays bad weather, what worked best for people tyre-wise?

I heard someone in the 4WD say that cut staggers was a bad idea, once they had tried them?

[Dudders]

Judging by what came through Farnham at 11.00am you guys needed life bouys rather than tyres!

Shocking just shocking. Did 2 heats and gave it up. Gutted I so wanted to race today. Tried D boots they were ok should have stuck to D-boots on the rear and a yellow mini spike on the front.

[ASKay]

I ran ballistics on rear and sch yellow minispikes on the front, and loads of Understeer ... but then i am still finding my feet with this rc boat racing...:thumbsup:

I also gave up after two heats...

[mikeyscott]

Indeed v wet hence why my 511 didn't run. Hats of to those that did.

Ballistic greens all round is what I'd normally run.

[Getpip]

I found getting back in my car and heading home to be the best choice! :bored:

[chris_dono]

had greens on for the first run, tried staggers for the second but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much understeer to be any good at all !

Pity about the rain, but we'll be back :)

Many thanks for making the trip. Hope to see you on the 25th for the final round of the summer series - all day meeting etc etc etc.

[Crash]

I felt as though i had my tyre choice spot on today for 2wd......
was gutted we stopped running hahaha

[MrMagoo]

Schumacher silver mini pins all round with the inner and outer row off the fronts. Pretty nice I thought, just a shame about the driver!

Pitty about the weather, was really looking forward to a good mornings racing but I guess that's life. Cheers to Mike, Julian et. al for braving the elements to put on as much of the meeting as they did!

Yes top guys indeed. Thank you. Just shame it was so Wet. We braved it as long as we could.

[wylie]

Durango tyre choice for me was Ballistic mini spike green, front & rear no rows cut off.
Weather was rubbish, looking forward to the next round.

[jpmatrix]

Never ran in heavy rain before but car seemed to handle quite well with ballisic pinks all round. Quite surprised how all the electrics stayed dry:o

Couldnt see squat diddly with my glasses on whilst up on the rostrum with all that rain which made for some entertaining driving.


Dam weather cleared up as soon as i got home as well.
