Batley Club meeting

[mattym0310]

Went to batley club meeting today [the outdoor venue] and raced my Pred outdoors for the first time.

Really liked how it drives and handles, it really suits my driving style. The meeting was a good test for the car but would have been a lot better if we had sunny weather rather than on/off snow!!


thanks for the picture Wayne!

I bet that was odd racing in snow ! could have done with Mike Hudsons spikes .

Well done Arslaan , T-Q and win !

[ben]

lol bury wasnt as bad as that. The straight looks rather muddy?

[mattym0310]

Yeah it was a the sides nearer the end of the banked corner. but obviously got worse when the snow came down heavier and settled [soaking the track] and the grass etc. which is whn we stopped. The three rounds that we had though were reasonably good, even though we raced in the snow for a couple of them! Bring on the regionals

I got a few photos today, it was mad tho - sun one minute then snow!

[mattym0310]

Was a good day today despite the random weather , had a go with the pred on the track thanks to Andy and it was actually really nice to drive , my B44 was pretty good today but needed a setup up for outdoors, also needs a lil rebuild and clean now aswell , qualified in between andy and matt at the end of the day so was pretty good, enjoyed my first day at batley outdoors shame we had to abandon due to the crazy weather! Jimmy your car was looking great today, I couldn't get in a rhythem and keep up, maybe next time round when i have my car setup properly, you gotta clean your durga for the first time now

hmmmm in a word......... maybe . Can i be strengh tester? Please. Oh come on i promise i wont break it on purpose haha.

**** SERIOUS POINT****

What were the cars like over the bumps today? Because i was struggling with my S4 today but i only had 2 runs with the car one in the dry and one in the wet. I was running the setup i had been using indoors so that may of been the problem. First time for me too outdoors with my 4wd.

i thought you had youre S4 outdoor ben ?

[ben]

Old car. And i didnt get a real go with the car because the front wheels kept stripping . Well i went to the nook . Scary stuff with the massive crossover lol. Then the speedo blew haha.

[Garry Driffill]

LOL youre S4 is very quick lol , didnt you do the special wheel modifacation mate ? Mine never stripped any when i had that on mine .

[ben]

Yeh i have the mod on it. I think the car was just setup too hard on the oils and springs. Needs work lol. I didnt really get a chance to use it because i was loveing the S2 lol. The S2 was dialled in the dry though.
