Why is Jonathan Wells in the 2WD list when it say's he is driving a Team Durango DESC410R??

The Durango is 4WD

Also when you asked for our ability rating on the entry form, are you going to be placing in heat's according to ability level provided? Or ignored and just randomly thrown in anywhere?

I agree with easter weekend lowering numbers, we have a fair few SCT members that have to miss it as busy with family time and holidays over long weekend etc, shame really

In case there is no planned shop support as it is not advertised... i will have a selection of SCT spare parts, wheels and some tyres from my mates shop to sell, will be STRICTLY CASH ONLY at strictly marked prices, just doing it as a favour more to help any of the series drivers out if needed, if there is shop support planned then i'll be there as backup only... plus i'm there primarily for racing all day so won't be displaying or running a shop as such, not getting anything out of it so i don't expect any hassle if i can't help a driver.

please don't ask me for specific stuff beforehand, can't help as i don't know what stock he has and i'll bring what he gives me but i do know that the A1 Racing Club 'SCT Wreckin Crew' have been hammering the wheels and tyres stock levels this week.

I'm a bit miffed as i can't get hold of any wheels for my new Losi 4x4 SCTE and non of the others available fit without major offset or clearance issues... so kit tyres it is!

On the otherhand... got a spare Hong Nor truck dialled ready to race

Getting quite excited for sunday now, lets make it a good meeting and bring it on!

if the tyres on the 4wd losi are the same as the ones on the 2wd then I think they will be ok. probably not as much overall grip as course kings, but will probably provide a better ballance. Personally I'd rather have a well ballance car that was nice to drive, rather than having to fight one that has got too much grip and wants tip over all the time.


On a more serious note (for us), the pull start on our generator has broken. Will we be able to bump some power off someones genny? We will provide fuel as there are 2 of us.?

I may have to come and have a nosey at this meeting this weekend. I'm in the area with work and I'm intrigued as to the performance level of the driving.

May have to sell my 8th elec to buy an SC....anybody want one? Xray?

Sort of getting nearer to being ready... got some paint on it today, but still need to chuck in a servo, PT and reciever, put some power through new speedo and set it up then tomorrow give it a blast on my track to run in diffs etc whilst doing our track build... i wouldn't make a good boy scout!

would have been keen to practice tomorrow, but due to late announcement on availablity of practice on Sat has led to other plans already being made and no camping means not wasting fuel and driving hours for a few hours set up time.

Here is a quick piccie of todays work and give you all target, thought it best to picture this one as it will get hammered in next 2 weekends of race use!

Wow, nice truck. I might go for a quick practice as its my local track, going to take it easy though as I don't have many spares. Straight in there with a newly painted shell - I like it!

Short Coursers are either really laid back about their racing or just so good they don't need to prepare days in advance. Just turn up on the day and do the business. Not long to go now!

Laid back me thinks...

Did my best to break my truck yesterday, but it survived intact Probably should change the shock oil tonight, but as I have no idea what the track is like for tomorrow...

Should be a cracking day
