Default Racing Sunday the 24th feb

Hi everyone,

So it's nearly that time and it looks like there is some chance that it might not be soaking wet. Dave is away this Sunday so has asked Ian to run the show and I will try and give him a hand.

My intention is to get to the track a bit early and see what state the ground is in and maybe even have a fiddle with the layout if we need to avoid any spots.

Haven't been racing for what feels like forever so I am really looking forward to a good day where will actually have some day light past 4pm..

I will have both the 2 and 4wd with me hoping that there is enough of us there to make a decent days racing.

Hope to see lots of you there and keep everything crossed that the rain/snow gods treat us kindly..

I'll keep an eye on the weather as there are some other things i could otherwise be doing on sunday. My car developed a whine at Stotfold which seems to be the Flux Pro motor i bought on here

If the weather is good i'll come along & hope it lasts the day, not much luck with motors lately !

Hi DR1VERS, the club is pretty relaxed really. People generally only tend to race buggys (although there are occasionally some random race/heats going on with trucks and other toys) however I'm sure you'll be welcome with whatever gadget you own

There are very few enforced rules, other than be fair and marshall after you've raced and you agree not to run anything Nitro on the grass.......... oh and you are required to let my 22 come past you if you are ahead of me

See you Sunday ?

Well looks like it's going to be a cold but clear day.. Fingers crossed with the few dry days we have had recently the track might be resonable.

I will be there after all, just had to pull out of 4wd at off road wars

Just to add, boys still doing saturday so it's a long day for me , As up until a few hours ago I was planning on being away sunday so I've not set myself up to run club sunday, so it's a good idea to carry on with max and ians original plan

Hi Guys, I have downloaded a free lap timing program and had a couple of mock races after a bit of a fight with the pc, You may have to bear with me a bit tomorrow while I find my feet but I will do my best!!!!

sound good, i think thats likely to be the retiming.com system, can be a bit of a head scratcher to start with.
I will be down with the horse trailer etc. I will be totally disorganised tho and will prob get up late,
