(please note that I do appreciate that not everyone can get there early due to other commitments)

Until we trial it I don't think we can say exactly how it will work, so please bear with us

I have tryed to help set up a number of times, but everything I touch is wrong, so I don't bother now.

lol...don't stress people...and put the calculators away...I wish it was that exact a science...it'd be simple then!!!

But to be clear...

People might get asked to only run one class...if it helps us run the best racing on a night.

No one will get turned away from racing...we'll put 7 heats in and have less rounds before that happens...because that would be fair in that instance!

Start times are slightly varied and that will never change as Pete has already said...too many variables...including the odd early start, which we can't predict!

But we do try to start by 8pm every week these days, as from that time with 6 heats we can always fit 4 rounds of racing in!

If we get in and setup earlier (which is a rare luxury!), we might add a round in ahead of the 8pm start...so anyone arriving later will still always get the usual 4 rounds in anyway...so don't ever worry about missing an early start!

Oh and Rob...Sorry......I do get a bit carried away sometimes...but you must know how it is...you build stuff for a living as well...just jump in and help...

Don't worry Andy always moves everybody's stuff around, it's why we end up with the best tracks.

Yes, if left to me, we would have a full carpet oval LOL

So... just be be awkward. I was intending to bring the 2wd and vintage down this Friday.
Will I have to choose one or the other if the numbers are high?

[peetbee]

You awkward Gaz? surely not!
It is a possibility I'm afraid, bring everything and then you can choose if you have to

[brian s]

what time will the doors be open pete? anyone getting there early this week.

[sunbeam]

I'll be there a little earlyer than normal (about 6.30). Maybe I could be given something to tape up or lay on the track, don't say I didn't offer

[brian s]

rob do you still need to borrow radio gear

[sunbeam]

Sorry, I forgot to get back to you

CML sent me a new set, so I'm giving that another try. This time with the RX mounted with velcro to take out some bumps, might help?

If it still plays up in time, I'll buy a Sanwa Exzes II, that'll fix it !

Thank you VERY much for the offer, but it looks like I'm OK for the moment . If the new set plays up and the Sanwa is going to be held up, I would like to come back to you on that offer if I may.

Thanks,
Rob.

You will find Velcro is FAR superior to double-sided tape when mounting electronics Rob....

Oh no, here we go again!


I should be there for 6.30, will try and remember the laptop!

[Balders]

Ill be there, 4wd only for me tonight please. I've got all my electrics specially double taped down and ready.

Face it matt you are wrong.. Velcro is the past, double tape is the future..

Ahhh thats a shame Mike, ill keep my fingers crossed that you manage to finish a heat without your electronics falling out or even failing due to excess vibration from using tape instead of velcro....

[sunbeam]

Oops, looks like I've started something, sorry

LOL

[blue_pinky]

Rob, it's ok...you've not not started anything...just reopened a debate...

...I'm with Matt incidentally...velcro all the way! Saves you twisting and bending the pcb's inside your expensive electrics when you try to remove it!

[peetbee]

Tape FTW!
