Default When do you go indoors?

Hi guys,

Just wondering when you lot will be going indoors for the winter (not that we have really had a summer!!).

Also, thinking of getting a short course to race and wondered if SC's have their own heat or would they race with 2/4WD?

Cheers
Adam

We'll be heading indoors around October I expect.

We did have a specific SC heat, but I think most of our SC drivers have moved or quit in the last couple of weeks, so I think there won't be as many in the future. That said we are always getting new drivers so I can't say for sure.

We tend to get more 4wds when we run indoors anyway. Our outdoor track is so grippy on a dry day there isn't much between 2 and 4, but indoors with a little polished floor left on the track 4wd becomes a good idea.

Is indoors still going to be at Waterhead Academy this year? Only asking because I am currently working on the new Waterhead Academy which the school will move into in January, whats happening with the old school?

I've heard although they are getting rid of the old school, the sports facility is staying open.

What turn motors and pinions do you 4wd drivers use on the indoor track, i have a 5.5 motor but think it runs a little to hot for the tighter smaller indoor venues.

i will be using a b44.1 if that makes a difference.
