Where do you race in winter schumacher masters?

Paul,

Many thanks for making the trip!

Good to see you going well with my SX3, I prefered my new ride, but just need to find clearer driving with more speed

RE Winter, Schumacher masters? Don't know what that is.

Great day as always, thanks to everyone at TORCH. My opinion for the finals is everyone should have 3. If i thought i was likely to get the same or less racing as a morning session it would put me off and i suspect others. We would of been finished for 5ish if it wasn't for the raffle etc. It was a long day partly due to the numbers

but i suspect less would come if they thought the would get less racing for the same money as the top bods. Just my thoughts

mikeyscott · #**123** 22-08-2011

Ok I think 3 leg finals remain. Something else will give.. It was a bumper raffle yesterday.

I dread to think what time those that travelled a long way got home.

Firstly, thanks to the TORCH boys for another great meeting.

Have to agree with the comments about 3 legs for all in the finals. It's standard practise in the touring car world and when we moved over to off road it was a real disappointment to be in a lower final and only get one shot. It does make for a long day but it's an enjoyable one and tends to keep everyone there and interested until the final final.

+1 on the Charisma comments too. Nice for a bit of fun, but I bet BQ was a bit miffed to be dumped out of the A. Keep it tenth scale

Looking forward to the last round, fingers crossed for another sunny day!

Cheers guys.

Mark

Sorry bud.

It is still grown men racing toy cars around a field for fun. I'd get your point if I put an 8th car on the track that would damage other cars if it hit them. Ultimately the carisma was always going to come off worse in a car to car contact scenario.

Sorry if me enjoying myself upset others. Tbh all I wanted to do was see if I could get an 11 lap run with the carisma. I had no idea that would get me in the A!

Looks like that may be it for me racing at torch. I want to do the ansmanns got talent day on the 25th sept and don't know if I can make any more club mornings before I move to Huntingdon.

The Chef · #**126** 22-08-2011

I had a Top day and it was the best the cat has gone. And I think that my driving may have improved some what over night I'm not quite sure how.

I'll try and work on my Constancy and see If I can't start to creep highr in the B final. My target for now is MR Rumble as we had a couple of really good tussles and I was only a little way off his pace

mikeyscott · #**128** 22-08-2011

OK ok ok, 3 leg finals won't be going anywhere.

Ben, hope to see you on the 25th

Where will your local track be? You'll still be Mid South for the regionals I think

Briangb · #**129** 22-08-2011

Pretty much agree with all the comments. A great days 'sport'.
I would definitely have agreed with 2 Finals on the day, as I was in a Trophy position until Final 3. It was the a case of deja vu. ESC fan decided to remove itself, so everything stopped running. Had just posted my fastest ever lap as well. Quite an impressive list for the day. Receiver lead popped out in one haet. Bulkhead broke in another.Fan in Final.
Oh yes, in the haste to charge batteries for final 3, put terminals on wrong way round/ My my, lots of sparks.
Mandy wanted to sit on the astro section of the pits, so no offence to the Clanfield Crew. It was not personal. Spent a very pleasant day with Dudders and family. Thanks mate. Once again though the TORCH gang produced a first class meeting. Big pat on the back.

Andy71 · #**130** 22-08-2011

Steve/Mikey/Rob W

What you have done at Titchfield over the last year or so is incredible.

Thanks for a cracking day, I'm looking forward to my next visit (and hopefully a little more reliability)

If you haven't been yet, get down there as you won't be disappointed

Andy

Maybe less free practice and an earlier start? Personally I'm out for the day, so a 4, 5 or 6pm finish is cool.

.

3 leg finals for all, deffo, 100%, if you want to cut time, drop the heats to just 3 rounds. Pukka.

Bit miffed that Harry's Jnr 2nd place pot is bigger than mine 2nd place one!, but it's the shelf you put them on the matters!!!

.

Looking to see lots of TORCH folk next week at SHRCCC

Dudderssss what can I say you gotta remember I have only been racing a couple of months so still rather sketchy when it comes to close racing
Next time I will let you pass if we are in the same race!!!

Until next weekend for some more racing.

The Chef · #**134** 22-08-2011

I'll be at the 2 dayer in nottingham next weekend so wont be able to make it.

Sorry.

No need to let me through mate.... Just make sure there's enough room for two! It's great racing with other cars, especially when they are so equal. Maybe I show to much respect in trying to race hard but give space (not a dig mate).... Maybe I need to be more banzai!!!!!
