Racing 23rd and 30th Dec plus bonus midweek meet TBD

[Dalla]

Ok, so I have been in touch with the Youth Centre and it closed from Friday until the 2nd Jan, so we can build a track on the 23rd and leave until the 30th.

We can also open up midweek, but we need to agree when, opinions required...

Boxing Day
Thursday
Friday

And time
10am - 4pm
6pm - 10pm

Please post your preference on this thread.

[AfroP]

Thursday would be fine with me.

[Shifta]

Thursday would be fine with me.

Sounds Good!

What time is good for people? Doors open @4.30? Later?

[dpackster1980]

I'd say open at 4:30 so we have loads of racing. :thumbsup:

[Andyp]

Thursday best for me i think ....

[DAVO]

thursday 4.30 sounds good to me...

[mr emily]

might not be able to make thursday. Friday?

[AfroP]

I'd say open at 4:30 so we have loads of racing. :thumbsup:


4:30-10?

[Steven Forster]

Thursday sounds good to me also........post what times to open up and i'll see what i can do :)

[chris68nufc]

Thursday reedy style

[beasty boys motorsport]

no midweek racing for me :mad: as im at work........and ooohhhhh no racing for me on the 30th because im at work AGAIN :thumbdown:.....but im there on the 23rd :thumbsup:

[chris68nufc]

Should we not push the midweek thing a bit more? I rekon we could get loads of people from out of the area who are dying to try their new toys out??

[chrispattinson]

Thursday or Friday ... let's consider at Keith's request for the Friday .... see if we can accommodate everyone?

4:30 til 10 sounds good to me.


3 meetings on the same track .... sounds like a series opportunity?

[Shifta]

Should we not push the midweek thing a bit more? I rekon we could get loads of people from out of the area who are dying to try their new toys out??

Agreed

[DAVO]

me and Ty cant make Friday as its my wifes birthday on that day

[chris68nufc]

The majority sounds like Thursday.....who's the final decision lie with? The chief 'Pack'

[Steven Forster]

I dont think i will be able to attend on friday as i will probably be out driving the mini bus.............

[Andyp]

I defo can't do Friday , good chance I can do Thursday but might be abit late depending on start time ...

[beasty boys motorsport]

im doing nowt boxing day..:p, but then again i dont have any kids or a nagging wife...she's glad to get rid of me :lol:

[AfroP]

Seems that Thursday suits the majority of people
which is unfortunate for the minority that cant. However keith did say "Might not be able to make Thursday" so there is still a chance. I'd imagine it depends on how long it takes him to build the RB6

3 days racing on the same track defo sounds like a good time for a series to me...
The Seaham/Jarrow/NEAM Christmas cracker winter series

[dpackster1980]

I'd say Thursday.

Midweek racing isn't going to happen, like I previously said in other posts it isn't going to change to suit the minority who don't support the club all year round end of story.

[Steven Forster]

Anybody got any spare 2wd yellow mini spikes for sale and glue if possible for sunday ???

cheers ;)

[AfroP]

I have glue. Its good stuff.

[dpackster1980]

Anybody got any spare 2wd yellow mini spikes for sale and glue if possible for sunday ???

[chris68nufc]

I'd say Thursday.

Midweek racing isn't going to happen, like I previously said in other posts it isn't going to change to suit the minority who don't support the club all year round end of story.

What are you going on about you mad man?? Who has asked to change racing days now? Or have you just not read this thread properly? Or have I not?!!!:cry:

[cmgreen]

I'd say Thursday.

Midweek racing isn't going to happen, like I previously said in other posts it isn't going to change to suit the minority who don't support the club all year round end of story.

Maybe those who cant support the club on a sunday nite have genuine reasons y not. I can only do every other week as the wife works on a sunday.

[cmgreen]

[nobby]

As for racing all depends on how fast the track is set up...........will also help me with computer if I know who's coming and racing 2wd or 4wd !!!

:)

[Shifta]

4wd for me.. I can be there for 4.30

[chris68nufc]

[Steven Forster]

Can see this 3 day winter series being some the best race meetings this year for Seaham with all the new people wanting to come and race, lets show them why we are the best indoor club in the north east IMO...........woohoo :D

Anybody got any slim 2wd front wheels to fit my X6 ???

cheers ;)

[AfroP]

2wd for me

[beasty boys motorsport]

2wd for me as im only there for the 1st round so may as well get the practice in........but will give my 4wd a little bit testing inbetween rounds :o

[FrogPrince82]

I'll be there for the last 2 rounds of the series with 2wd :thumbsup:

[nobby]

So should we get there for 4:30?

[chrispattinson]

2wd and 4wd for me . Dexter .... ill bring some wheels .

[Shifta]

I don't have the keys but I can be there for 4.30.. Just we'll need to spend a bit more time putting the track together if its going to last 3 days of racing!
We can add a few more features too :thumbsup: assuming there's enough help..

[Andyp]

Anyone got some new tyres (2wd) that I can borrow and replace ?

Ya I should be there for 4:30 ish aslong as someone can comfirm the doors will be open

[chris68nufc]

Only got 2wd fronts but you can have them for now until you replace them!

[Shifta]

Nice to see you both again gary and even better to have you come and visit our club for some proper buggy racing and not racing on the shiney stuff at tynemet ;)

[chris68nufc]

Good turnout last night Lads and Lasses!!

I think that the jump in front of the rostrum needs a bit of Christmas love on Thursday! It needs a bigger landing area so you can downslope it and carry your speed into the next corner!

Nice seeing Greg back last night to show us and the K1 how it's done!!!

Nice to see a couple if new faces too, got rigt up to speed after Couple of rounds aswell which add to the fun!

[Shifta]

Yeah, great nights racing.. Well up until the final.. If you watch on the video above at about 3 minutes you will see my K1 having a fight with the wall!! The wall wins!! Prior to that the K1's were looking strong for a 1,2,3 Chris Stewart had a technical issue which took him out of the race! (Forgot to charge cells perhaps) :o

Doors open 4.30 on thursday racing to start 5.30!

[racdeaf]

Guys

I have this schumacher rear yellow mini pin pre glue on rim new in packet which I no longer use due to my 2wd only take 14 mm hex. £10
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=31056

I also have new rear yellow mini spikes on ae rim which glue on but not run it yet
Am after £7.50 for it

Will be at seaham on Thursday save postage & PayPal

[mr emily]

Chris why change the "obstacle" as its not a jump, slows the track down and make it more technical!!

[chris68nufc]

Exactly Keith, it's an obstacle and not a jump, spot on.....we are racing....not doing Kickstart.....Bah Humbug....merry Christmas you old git

[dpackster1980]

I like the short down ramp, it slows the track down and makes for good overtaking oputunities or for a moron (the vicar) to punt you off the track like what happened to me.

I'm not fussed, do you want the track to be any faster? IMO its fine.

[chris68nufc]

What's the plans for tomorrow?

Somebody say a time as we need to get on with racing ASAP to get all the rounds in we need

Remember, the tracks built!!

Should be another great turnout!

[AfroP]

Think it was suggested to arrive for 16:30 with 1st race to start at 17:30

[FrogPrince82]

I'll be back for my second ever meeting tomorrow for more 2wd action.

It was such fun 2 weeks ago and I'm back to the North East from my Southern Family's festivities now!

It was a great night of racing ... and I thought Jack drove really well, clean and tidy. Must apologise again to him for hitting his leg with my car when he was marshalling.

Well done to Greg and David.

Durango 410 is the future.

Lol :woot:

[FrogPrince82]

Thanks for a great night's fun and racing :woot:

The reedy starts definitely makes it more interesting with the difficult first few corners all bunched together :wtf:

Also have to say thank you to everyone who helped me get the broken screw out of my front axle (I forget the guys name who finally managed to get it out, sorry), although I missed the final heat, it still meant I could race the final (plus gave me an excuse as to why the car kept crashing so much as it was pulling left :D)

Will be back for more on Sunday :thumbsup:

Team Schumacher was just giving others a chance for a change lol :p:p


Gar


Dex you know a Schumacher is the way forward get yourself one :p:p

[dpackster1980]

The Durango posted the 2nd fastest time in round 2 which wasn't beaten by any other Schumacher apart from Jeff who got the fastest time in round 2 which wasn't improved on.

The facts so far are that the Durango is currently the better car and the most reliable by far. :woot:

You wanna check your source of info amigo!!
I got the quickest time in round 4 :D

It was great to see such a good turn out, it reminded me of how things used to be club racing...

I must say I like doing Finals style starts and racing each other as opposed to racing against the clock all night to get 1 "Race" at the end..

[FrogPrince82]

Was AndyP who got the screw out for you..........

Cheers AndyP, you saved the evening for me! :thumbsup:

Hi people. So what time tomorrow 4 30 ?

[FrogPrince82]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have a spare ball joint screw that would fit a DEX210 at all please?

One of mine has cracked and I don't have a spare or a way of getting one before tomorrow.

Thanks

[chris68nufc]

Don't let that stop you, somebody will have something for you

[mr emily]

I'm sure I have from my 410 when I changed the balls and cups, I'm unsure if they are the short ones. I'll have a rummage through tomorrow.

[dpackster1980]

What is the start time tomorrow?

4:30, due to having to get the track away. There will only be 3 rounds and finals. Ideally we want round 1 to start at 5 to make sure we get away at a reasonable time.

[scott]

does anyone have have a motor sensor cable i could buy or borrow for tomorrow nights racing
thanks scott

[corkyjohnson75]

Well done to Andy P and Greg Williams for winning the series.
Great racing tonight, nice to see Dylan in the 2wd A final and some great quick driving from him.

[chris68nufc]

Would just like to add that I thought it was a great little series!

Great to see new drivers too, hopefully they will return along with the young lads that were battling amongst there selves in the A and B final 2wd.

Well done Greg with a victory with a new car. God he's going to take some beating wherever he drives next year!

Also Andy P for a sterling performance with his Rb6!

[dpackster1980]

Based on the turnout and popularity I'd say that we should try it again next year providing there's no issues with the visitor we had. I've already told the missus. :thumbsup:

I'll make sure I have enough tires this time as the last 2 runs I was like cannon fodder!

If ive sent data correctly then Ian will be posting the results from the winter series for everybody to see how the did with the same track layout over xmas........!!!

:thumbsup:

[Dalla]

OK, good things come to those that wait...

Here are the results for the Xmas Cracker Mini Series held over the holidays at Seaham..

http://www.jarrowrc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/results/2012XmasCracker/

Please note there is at least one error, In Rnd 1 and Rnd 2 Chris Clarke has been entered as driver "Chris Clark", in Rnd 3 he has been entered as driver "Chris Clarke" therefore his points do not appear with his others for the previous rounds. I don't think there is any way to correct this without deleting results for Rnd 3.
Thankfully he scored 100, 98 and 98 and therefore Rnd 3 would have been dropped anyway, so there is no effect on the series standings....Phew!

I also managed to get Jim and Gary Shears and Robin Calvert in the the correct classes, so all points should be correct.

If you spot any other errors, then please let me know.. NOT :o)
