Midwinter Madness
 
Anybody fancy a bit of outdoors action on Sunday? I see Bury are running outdoors all winter and there's a meeting on Sunday 30th.

I've only raced there once before and it turned out to be my costliest meeting (in terms of spares) but what the hell......you only live once :D

wtf, you are a buggy-er em! what are you doing! and you take the mick out of me!!

Will Olpin 29-10-2005 07:51 AM

Hey don't diss the TC it's awsome racing i do it more than off-road at the moment and its great....sure you have got the jumps but still great fun :!: :roll:

Oscar 29-10-2005 09:39 AM

you'll never learn throttle control the same with a TC as a buggy, They just have loads of grip and not much else to do but occassionally turn the steering because you get to a corner 8)

chrislee 29-10-2005 12:10 PM

Are you up for it then John or what? :D

PS - what's this throttle control all about? You mean it's not just on or off? :oops:

Chris

Try Racing 12th scale on-road. Now thats throttle control.

I went through two cars because i thought there was something wrong with them becuase they just kept spinning under power :oops:

I do!! And my first try with mine was with a 10 double and ZERO additive. Now THAT was fun. On slippyish carpet too and at Teesside before the floor was levelled (VERY bumpy...).

jimmy 30-10-2005 06:18 PM

But you emileh, are a superstar. Its gotta be a nasty track for me to beat the likes of you, unless I take you out on purpose, again. :albino:

chrislee 30-10-2005 08:17 PM

So where were you today Mr Storey? An excellent days racing was had by all. I've only raced once indoors but it's great to get back outside again :lol:

Chris

jimmy 30-10-2005 09:22 PM

i call it pure lazyness chris!! but it looked a nice day today, wish i'd gone! :( had the zx5 in bits and doing some photos and stuff- thats my excuse

RobHatcliffe 12-12-2005 08:17 PM

Another chance for an outdoor race this Sunday, 3rd round of the Bury Metro winter series. Booking in around 12.30, 2wd or 4wd.

Still don't know why Rog christened them "Ski Sunday's", we're in Manchester for God's sake, should be "Rainy racedays" !!!

Come on over, should be a larff.

youre brave frostbite, hypothermia etc.

Saying that ice racing is highly entertaining, considering the idea of going up myself.

The only other options are 12th at tamworth or in bed nursing a hangover :drunken:

chrislee 13-12-2005 11:11 AM

Rob, it coincides with the Teesside Aces meeting - I've seen, on racechat, that Mr Long may be going there and probably a few others as well.
