[hotrodchris]

As the title suggests whos going and what clases 4wd forme might pop up sat to watch as it's only 20 mins away

[mikeyscott]

Booked in for both days

[MrMagoo]

Yup, booked for both days... just gotta find someone to look after the little'un on Saturday as the misses already has that booked:o

[RobW]

Jack and me for 2WD on the Saturday.

Should be fun - some very quick bods booked in but still plenty of club level drivers entering so we can all have a good race.:thumbsup:

Just checked entry list this morning and there are 27 places left in 2WD and 53 in 4WD (limit is 100 per day) and entry has only been open a couple of days - if you fancy doing 2WD I would not leave it much longer!!

[Northern Monkey]

looks like we may as well get a bus, given how many from Torch are going. Guarantee we'll end up with us all in the same heat :woot: it'll be like a normal Sunday :D

[Crazy L]

I'm in, I'm doing the Sunday, so no doubt i'll bump into most of you like Chris, JC, and....Mikey Scott:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

see you all there.

Might be a muffin contingent too:thumbsup:

[martin so16]

im doing both days should be a good laugh :thumbsup:

[wylie]

Looks like quite a few of us are attending, apart from Steve Brown it will be a good battle to see who's best of the rest.
I just hope me new Durango turns up in time to build.
The biggest question will be? what car Mikey Scott will start the days with :p

[ASKay]

Me too 4WD only

[Cammers]

Mikey as we are all piting together perhaps we can have some pre-meeting discussions on tyres. ;)

[wylie]

I've just asked that question on the MK GP page.
I know that other tyres work on carpet but not sure on tread patterns and compound, need advice for both catergories (2wd&4wd)

[mikeyscott]

I know what I am running ;)

[jamiekerr14]

The standard bet is Schui Mini Pins-Yellow..

There may be another option, but from what I know thats what loads of people run, and what I ran at taplow. Im sure the new DBoots would be good, but no idea if they would be available before then.

[mikeyscott]

Doubt dboots. I hope they'll be deemed illegal due to supply. Marc will confirm.

[Cammers]

Thanks Jamie thats what I was thinking but really wondering if there is anything else out there. Didn't wont to turn up with pins and find everybody else on something else that may be better.

[jamiekerr14]

TBH think Mini pins are the ticket.. Thats what everyone at Taplow ran, and think most run on carpet tbh..

[mikeyscott]

I'll be taking mini pins, mini spikes and stagger for 2wd all in yellow compound

[simoncrabb]

Yellow minipins are the popular choice indoors.

But don't forget Ballistic minipins in white, green and pink.

And dBoots Terrabytes in A and B (we are checking on Nanobytes availability).

[simoncrabb]

The dBoots Nanobytes wont be available in time for the MK GP.

So we'll just have Multibytes and Terrabytes available in A and B.

[mikeyscott]

Time to ban them as I know some TD / rc dISCO drivers have them

[hotrodchris]

Got yellow pins already plus ordered 2sets of ballistic whites from RC Lazy as well

[AmiSMB]

You can always pop down to Bracklesham on a Wednesday evening for a test run as this carpet is also going to be used :) Mini pin yellow front and rear and for 2wd be prepared to cut a lot of pins off the front tyres.

[Northern Monkey]

So is everybody ready then? Who's going up when? Noticed some interesting heat seedings... Sunday's going to be a regular Torch Sunday as it seem we've been given our own heat :D

[Cammers]

I wll be there about 7.30 am both days, dont know why most torch boys are in lower 4wd heats, me and tony going to be lonely.:cry:

[RobW]

Both Jack's and my car all ready for Saturday. :thumbsup: First run for the C4.1 - taking the 22 just case.

Luckily we are split a bit - heats 1 and 6 so no rushing around getting both cars on track. Would not be surprised if we are a lot closer come finals time - Jack got to grips with the carpet and jumps surprisingly quickly when we went to taplow a couple of weeks ago, well compared to me anyway:cry:

See you all early on Saturday - it's going to be a long weekend for you guys doing both days!!

Rob

[M.Andrews]

Anyone going to Torch this Sunday or are you all going to the MK GP????.

[MrMagoo]

MKGP for me, Sunday only for me though :cry: Just getting the Durango ready to go, rebuilding shocks and gluing up tyres. Can't wait for Sunday, its gonna be epic!

[mikeyscott]

Shame :(

[hotrodchris]

Will pop up Saturday to see how the track is running and see if Cammers is on fire in 2wd like his 4wd!



lol:thumbsup:

[wylie]

Cammer's is going to smoke the competion.:D, can Martin bring the shovel.

[Northern Monkey]

I think he should race from inside a lipo bag! :D

[hotrodchris]

Spent the day doing what i could to help track looked awesome, Hollywood put a few laps in and it looked too flow nicely.
Looks like i'll be joining in the fun tomorrow after all first time for 2wd!:thumbsup:
only 12 hours to go:wub:woot::thumbsup:

[mikeyscott]

Many thanks to the TORCH crew that attended and made our area a fun pit area :)

BIG thanks to Chris for getting the area sorted.

Top 3 TORCH people in my final - http://www.clanfieldrc.co.uk/results/MK/MKGP4WD/mtg2/f1r1.htm

Sandbagging acusations on a postcard!

[MrMagoo]

Fantastic time was had, great job by everyone. Even managed to get away with minimal breakages much to my (and probably everyone else's!) surprise.

Loved the indoor thing so much I've stuck in a 4wd entry for the Area 51 GP in Jan. Should be a good laugh, and an excuse to use up my minipins:)

Good skills. Pit areas for Off Road Wars and Area51 then :thumbsup:

Hopefully I'll finish more than one quali run lol

[hotrodchris]

Yup brill weekend my car surprisingly came away unscathed despite a few gentle rubs with Martin's, Area51 booked and paid ages ago but nearly 2 months to wait!

Ouch - I didn't get enough runs to cause damage.

Had a few scarey moments in the final when had two cars on the straight going the wrong way. With the thrown in LRP X12 6.5 it had mega speed and punch. TORCH Sunday with more massive torque steer!??

Thankfully the TORCH pit, the watching the racing (when I had time), the help from Kyosho/Orion crew all made up for it.
