What I would say is that the previous events this year have been "open practice" so it is a little more relaxed

Hope this helps,

Do we need to bring Power boats or canoes just in case we need to get to the rostrum from our tents?

Does this mean we get a welcome coffee like last time?

dmsykes · #10 21-06-2012

Hi Vincent,
Need to talk nicely to the wife for that, but I think something can be arranged. Looks like the weather is going to be the same as we have had in France the previous two weeks. Never mind we had a good time there so I cannot see we are going to be any less happy in Gateshead.

Are you guys waterproofing your cars?

I have an x6 with the nimh holes in chassis aswell as holes cut in the shell.

Should I be taking some precautions? Thanks in advance.

dmsykes · #16 22-06-2012

Does anyone know what the track surface is. Are we looking at Astro or Grass?

Danny Harrison · #17 22-06-2012

its a deep pile astro, I was getting lots of grip roll on new mini spikes when I went up. Almost worn out ones worked best (was dry though...)

dmsykes · #18 22-06-2012

Think I've just answered my own question. Have just seen some pictures that were posted on Oople. Astro

Well done to Craig Collinson on his domination today at Dynamix!

Greg seemed to be just as quick however had a few bits of hard lines from what I saw.

All credit to wet feet Paul for finally getting a regional to take place at Dynamix and thanks for keep on plugging away at the track.

With a few small tweaks I think that the track can only get better. The double jump in the middle really needs to be made into a larger tabletop as a few people including myself struggled today in the wet. Doing the single-single just wasn't right to do as the first jump spits you far too high!

Maybe a few small water traps need to be installed to allow really quick drainage of the track in the areas that flooded today. The rain that came down was enough to stop racing on any track though but if it's easy to do then why not?

Really hope this isn't took as me being rude or not appreciating the work that has gone in but just a few thoughts.
Its great to have a track in the north east so let's hope it keeps improving! I will try my best to be about if things need to be done at the track.

Well done to Mike West for running the meeting well and sorting the few problems out on the rostrum etc out!

Can somebody stick the results up or give them to Bill to do please?

VincentVisser · #20 24-06-2012

I took some video of the 2wd b/a final and all 4 finals of the 4wd.

If you can post the results as stated by chris I will load up the vids on to youtube.
