Default Mardaves

Who would be interested in running these at COBRA and would we want a basic rule, i.e. motor?

Could be a very good idea Steve, taking into account the size of the new hall we're in they could be perfect.

We've done a fair bit for the buggy side of the club lately (with the new jumps and outside surface) and this may increase the turnout for the onroad side - I wouldn't trust me with a TC in Marshfield (too expensive to fix when I do break it!) but I'd give Mardave a go.

As for rules, what do other clubs that run them do? Aren't they retro style silver can motors?

There is official BRCA rules, but we don't like a strict format, I think the cars limit themselves mostly... additives, J, yeap you can matey!

47 cars on track at caldi on fri...Not all at same time plus a few did 2 classes. but still 47 paying.oh plus a fair few didnt turn up or were at the mk gp. Almost 60 at caldi wrca last year and as im informed by a tru racing legend that lots of top drivers would travel to a good track.
It really would be superb not to have to drive 3 and a half hours just to get a full day on a proper buggy track

Sorry Steve, I know I've not raced at Cobra for years, but reading this thread makes my down stairs tingle

I LOVE Mardave mini stocks, I started a club for them in Pembrokeshire about 13 years ago. It went very well for about 6 months. We raced in a chirch hall on a carpet oval, FANTASTIC FUN, and cheap

I think over the years (since 1988) I've managed to about 30 Mini Stocks to people just by showing them mine and starting the club.

I'm in 300% !!!!!!!!!!! And Alisha will be to !!!!!!!

Rob.

Our two cars are now running

Can't get to Cobra this Sunday, so see you with the Mardaves the week after.

Rob and Alisha.
