Default Bury Metro 29th April

Really looking forward to the 2wd regional at 'our place', hope to say hello to plenty of you guys who frequent the forum(s).

No doubt I'll be there at silly o'clock on the Saturday morning on track building duty, just wondered what you would like to see included? Those of you familiar with Bury Metro, would you like me to include the infamous sleeping policemen, the full banked turn in front of race control, the full length of the back straight.........or shall I just surprise you with a swine of a track

Pray for better weather than Teesdale (although you guys coped really well)

Rob

Hi Rob,
How about something a bit different, maybe using the whole of the back straight and not the front straight (turning off it somewhere?). Just an idea.

Oh and Rob, make sure to order some sunshine. :sunny:

I think I'd rather have the full back straight in 4wd... since I'm only doing 4wd! Plus, that's the only class I've ever raced in with it like that before...

I'd just like some hot weather please... I'm in desperate need of a tan on parts of me OTHER than my face (Southport sorted me out there!).

Chris,

I'm with you that cutting in off the front straight makes for an interesting track (and a bit of a change), but it may give start line issues at a regional - especially in the finals when we would have 10 cars piling into the first turn so soon after the permanent start line.

I'll have a look on ebay for boxes of sunshine too.

Hi Rob,
For the heats, the usual start grid should be fine as the cars start off staggered, for the finals the start would be on the back straight like it was in the 2003 national there.

But really, I don't mind the track layout, I am just hoping that the sun is out as the track will be good whatever the layout if it is dry.

As for track layout, I'm happy with anything, but the more technical the better

Also another point is, I think to be fair to all drivers, the track must be significantly different for the Sunday. By doing this there can be no unfair advantage gained by those doing two days rather than just the one day.

If you can arrange to have a 5 mile straight in there somewhere, it would suit my brushless nicely.

Paul

I'll be there at around 7.00am for track building, general setting up etc.

I reckon most folk will arrive 7.45 - 8.00 ish. Don't think anything is set in stone regarding timings, but practice usually starts 8.30am, with racing at around 9.30 ish.

Rob
