Hmm sounds good, racing during the week is ace for me.

Any track pics as yet, or indeed of the venue.

Thanks
Col.

Will put some pics up on the Roundabout Raceway section later (when I get to the shop). Only a couple of pics at the moment as I was more panicking about running the 1st event that night. It'll give you a good idea of the size of the venue though.

Dave I'm intereted in coming along next time - I would try with a B4. Just out of interest what tyres would you suggest mini-pins yellow?

No additive allowed for now - if we find that there are grip issues then we will source some carpet, but we are going to try this surface first.

Just picked up the AMB system last night, so timing system is sorted. We have 10 handout transponders and the system supports PTs.

Also grabbed a ton of road rail so track markings are pretty much sorted. We will be knocking some temporary jumps together for the off-roaders this coming week and then improving them over the coming weeks.

Hope to see lots of you there. First meeting is Monday 16th November.

The 2WDs found it difficult with the lack of grip at the 1st meeting.

Once we treat the surface for the next one I reckon yellow mini-pins will be a good choice.

OK thanks - would you suggest then 4WD (B44) to be more appropriate?

4WD will be easier if our plan for more grip doesn't work.

Or you could race both classes - it's only an extra £1 to race a 2nd class.
