Was certainly interesting on Friday ... no way I can compete with you guys with my normal droop-tastic off-road setup. For my return I will be building up a set of shocks to significantly reduce droop (by at least 10mm off the front and 15mm of the rear!!!!!)

Was still fun (and valuable info too)

Hi Guys,

What sort of a track do you have for off roaders over in Gloucester? Carpet? Slippy? Any features? jumps, mats etc?

If thats the case mate your way way way off on your outdoor set up

I'm not taking it too seriously at all, every time the car hits the track it's either for points or for testing. Friday was about testing a few things

LOL .... Kidderminster is the best off-road track in the country IMHO and I've been a member there for quite a number of years so hardly being a traitor to support my own club.

As for scared ..

I really hope to make it to Ledbury when you guys are there BUT I have to do what is best for the cars and at the moment I am doing a lot of development work on the 2wd and thus need it to be on a representative track (i.e. similar grip to the majority) and as Ledbury's great track is fairly high grip I'd not be learning as much there.

Soon gents, soon

Well boys I think that means as mills to scared to come to us we'll hav to go on a road trip ;-)

And development needs to be done on all levels of grip and traction, I'm sure Ledbury would test how good the car is over a bumpy surface so might be more worth ya time than you think :-)

My car needs development for bumby bloody ground! But had a grate day trying but loooong way off the pace

Long way off the pace? Try running a 13.5 when everyone else is running -9

I would be up for trekking up to Kidderminster then at some point. I don't mind winning on any track really.
