A shortened track has been cleared of Snow at Coventry, and some racing is planned to go ahead tomorrow (10th Jan).

Anything under 1/8th scale is welcome, and that of course includes SC trucks

There should be 3 SC10's a couple of Slashes and a Maverick (4wd I know) in attendance so that should be a heat

Roads to and from the track are clear at the moment.

Sorry for the late notice!!

[edit]

Gates open at around 8am, racing should be underway at around 9...

Not this weekend but...

14th Feb Mini MAM is open for pre booking here

Also open to *anything* smaller than 1/8th, won't be the busiest meeting in the world, but if you fancy a bit of a chilled Sunday morning racing...

I also hope to be able to get a heat of Short Course as a guest class in the next Electric MAM at Coventry on the 28th Feb.

Last time out we had 5 trucks racing, I am hoping for more on this Sunday coming (7 or 8).

It's a start anyway and *just* enough for a heat of our own...Hopefully we can pull a couple more drivers into the fray with this thread, for Feb 28th getting 10 Trucks on track would be fantastic!!

Definatly not this weekend, in fact not any weekend soon, but worthy of a post...

Midlands Dirt Masters

Predomiatly a 1/8th nitro meeting, but there will be a SCT class 'if numbers allow'! I've already run my SC10 round CMCC's dirt track during and straight after the latest build, it's a hoot

The CMCC Dirt Track

Construction picks and a little video of one of our juniors running round the track Note that the layout has changed a bit, from last year making it a bit more 10th friendly.

The next race at Coventry will be the Midlands Dirt Masters Warm Up on 16th May predominantly a 1/8th race but Short Course Trucks are welcome!

We are looking to run 5 or 6 minute heats with 8 to 10 minute finals for the Short Course Truck heat, which for the race is expected to be run on the dirt track for this race. I've found proline Caliber in M2 compound to work pretty well on my SC10, they will also last a while (mine have around 2 hours of use so far).

4wd and 2wd trucks will be run together for the time being...

Pre booking for this race can be done by the CMCC forum or alternatively you can send me PM and I'll get it sorted for you.

Short Clip from Sundays racing shot by one of the club members, from the end of the main straight.

It's a big track with that number of trucks going round! Can you spot the 4wd

My apologies for the timing issues suffered in the SCT heat! New computer and a new class on the dirt where the cause, it's all be sorted out now (which was kinda the point in the meeting).

Track was really slick to start but the grip came up throughout the day, the wind also dropped making the jumps a lot easier!

So we now know that a half decent lap is around 45 to 46 seconds for a 2wd truck with 7 lap run being attainable in qualifying. On the day we ran two 7 minute finals, which worked out pretty well...I think a third leg is really needed

I picked up some interesting feedback from some of the drivers on the day, which I will try and implement for the next meeting

Talking of which our next race is a charity meeting on the 30th May
