I take it Vicky's not classed as an evil terrorist like you then Jimmy? :woot:

I can't remember exact figures, but last year I think it was roughly £400 for flights and the big mansion of a hotel room we had was $120 a night. We were a bit last minute on the flights though so they could have been ~£50 cheaper.

Tyres should be available at the event, rears are $11 a pair (inc inserts) and you don't need a new set a run. If we're using Barcodes they should last a while :)

[footey]

how many nights u there rich

[ben]

Rich didnt you room share with lee? So that would make things alot cheaper :)

[Richard Lowe]

Err 5 I think, I think we realised later if we'd stayed a couple of nights longer the flights would have been a lot cheaper and overall cost would have been about the same. Oh well, live and learn :)

Yeah Ben the room we had was massive, you could have slept 5/6 people depending on how gay you wanted to be :o

[ben]

depending on how gay you wanted to be :o

COOL!!!!!

How long do a pair of ribs last on the front of a 2wd depending on the grip?

[Richard Lowe]

How long do a pair of ribs last on the front of a 2wd depending on the grip?
Forever! The longer you use them the more grip you get :thumbsup:

We started off with a pair of groovy's, and by the time the rack had rubbered in they had worn down to be rounders. I put a new set on mid-event but went back to the old set.

[ben]

nice:thumbsup:

[Richard Lowe]

When are you getting your truck? We need to get that dialled for the Clash :)

[ben]

Now that sounds a good deal. :thumbsup: GOOD JOB james:woot:

[footey]

richard u said your room could sleep 5 people so do u share and if so was it 120$ each or split

[Andy Moore]

www.rcclash.com (http://www.rcclash.com) is UPDATED!

The rooms should be in the ~$80 range, although they are a little smaller (still ample).

Anymore questions, just post them up, pm me or email me.

[email protected]

[James]

If we wait for online sign-up i assume here will still be space for us UK rabble :)

[Richard Lowe]

richard u said your room could sleep 5 people so do u share and if so was it 120$ each or split
In the US you pay per room instead of per person like we do over here. The room we had last year was about 3x the size of a normal travel lodge room with 2x double beds and a kitchen/dining room with sofa. Was almost like an apartment haha :)

[ben]

Rich are u gonna send your entry off in the post or wait till the online one comes out?

The prices to fly from Manchester are fairly similar, the flight goes via Philadelphia. Heathrow adds more travel time anyway for the Northerners, although has the benefit of 30 planes taking off per minute. Or is it one plane every 30 seconds? I forget...

[Mrs oOple]

To us it looks like an old mobile phone, to him it is some sort of dramatic weapon in disguise. A water pistol or something.

[Chris Doughty]

Are you coming to the clash chris?

would absolutely love to, however, the cost, time off work and time off from family make it pretty much impossible :(

[ben]

aww man:(

[Mrs oOple]

time off from family

You need to ask your family for more annual leave time, they're not being fair :p

[Mike Hudson]

[Lee]

Anyone found direct flights to miami yet or are people just flying into miami?

[James]

Dont understand?

Im going direct from Heathrow with Virgin to Miami Intl... ;)

[Lee]

Sorry James, i assumed you were flying from manchester :(

I think miami is only 2-3 hour drive from orlando.

[usafaircrew]

Orlando is closer to 4-5 hours! I hope to see a lot of you Brits there. The track should be dialed. I have not raced there even though I live in Florida. I have heared a lot of good things about the track. It should be just as good as Lake Park was Lee. I was the other guy running an X-6 Lee. See you guys there.

[Andy Moore]

Orlando is quite a drive from Miami.

Maifield will be back again this year to defend his title and produce some on track fireworks!

[Lee]

Man to miami via heathrow, good times too £411 each

http://www.airline-network.co.uk/Q2UI/Quote/Quote.aspx

[Andy Moore]

There are rumors circulating about a full scale british invasion... :woot:

We are also in touch with several other "big name" US drivers. This year could be quite the spectacle.

[Richard Lowe]

There are rumors circulating about a full scale british invasion... :woot:
Well there are currently twice as many Brits on the entry list as Americans :D

A few of us have got flights booked now, we just have to figure out how we're going to get everyone to Heathrow without all having to drive down seperately :eh?:

Every extra car will add around £100 taking into account petrol and car parking for the week :(

[Lee]

thats why im flying to heathrow ;)

[Richard Lowe]

Wouldn't the journey in the car to Heathrow take as long as the flight to the US for you though?! :woot:

[Lee Martin]

im all booked up.........gonig to orlando to play for a few days first!

and this year Maifield is not taking 3 wins!

[Andy Moore]

What hotel is everyone staying in out of the 2?

Good to hear everyone is getting their reservations sorted out. If anyone needs more information feel free to ask. Ive been to the track several times this year so I might be helpful.

[ben]

What tyre's are we gonna be on andy? Oh and do they come with foams?

Ben:thumbsup:

[Lee]

They will ben

I`d imagine double dee`s but that might change when it grooves up :thumbsup:

[ben]

Who's got double D's?:eh?: Oh sorry the tyre's :lol:

[Richard Lowe]

I'd guess we'll be on Double Dees then move to Barcodes as it grooves. Groovy's on the front of 2wd although theres a video up on Youtube that shows Jasons B4 with Double Dees up front, the track did look slippy with no groove though.

dIFIP2DIohg

[ben]

The youtube link doesnt work rich-Mag:eh?:

[Richard Lowe]

Jimmy!!

Here's the vid anyway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIFIP2DIohg :)

[jimmy]

dIFIP2DIohg


you need to put the CODE - in this case dIFIP2DIohg - between the tags. not the url to the video. :)

[Richard Lowe]

Thanks Jimmy :)

[Andy Moore]

What tyre's are we gonna be on andy? Oh and do they come with foams?

Ben:thumbsup:

I think Double Dees should work at first and then Bar Codes later on in the weekend. They all come with quality foams, but as you start to run Bar Codes you might want to consider 2-stage inserts.

[Lee]

Andy, will there be a shop present again this year?

At the other events Ive been to there they have brought product, but only a minor amount. I think they might be convinced to have something more substantial for the Clash, although thats not confirmed. I didnt want to have any false advertising, haha.

[Lee]

James,

This was the only thing that i thought couls have been better at last years event, there was a shop there but it was minimal as he flew in for the event. They guy was a top bloke though :thumbsup: Maybe this is just the way it is in the US. I would say PBM at worksop had twice as much stock with them, just to give you an idea.

[ben]

Think im going to enter for the J82's aswell :eh?:

[Lee]

ben are you having your own private jet again, for your baggage :thumbsup:

[ben]

Will the track layout be changed for the clash comared to what its like on the photo's mr lowe posted? Which is the prefered car over in america on dirt? The B4 or the X6? Is there an internet connection at the track?

hehe loads of Q's for ya :thumbsup:

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Is Bens going to be the first cat seen in America if it is no presure Ben.:woot:

[Lee]

Benji,

They were both designed for dirt, and if i can get my X6 going like paul sinclairs at the clash last year i will be a happy boy, i think the x6 jumps a lot better than the b4 with the 4 gear box and i think chazz, paul and BK will be there to lend a hand as well as some of the uk team including international superstar multiple european A finalist, Tom maximum commitment cockerill.:thumbsup:

[ben]

Nahhh spence i think there is a couple of guys off the forum running them across the pond :thumbsup: Will be my first ever race on dirt... im scared :cry::woot:
Hmmm i dno what to do now lol, do i get a B4 or stick with the X6....:o

[James]

How come there are still only 6 people shown as booked in :eh?::)

[Lee]

Guarantee'd A main :thumbsup:

[ben]

[_sleigh_]

They'll put on a B-main just for you. (you're a star)

[Lee]

He would still struggle to bump up :p

[ben]

hehe:thumbsup:
I still dont know wether to book in for the J82's :/
4 classes could be pushing it a bit :woot:

[_sleigh_]

I so wish I could get to this years clash, unfortunately it's only 4 days before we fly out on holiday. I did ask the wife to be if she'd mind me going and leaving all the wedding/holiday packing to her. You can imagine the reply :woot:

[niggs98]

I. You can imagine the reply :woot:


how is the black eye phil :woot:

Youre going to have to tear your pit down every night. The track layout will be significantly different from what is shown in Richard's photos. The B4 sells about 50 to 1 against the X6 here, so you can imagine my response on that. There isnt anything wrong with either car...its all down to the driver. I doubt there will be internet available at the track other than those people who are bringing their air cards.

How come there are still only 6 people shown as booked in :eh?::)

The race is still 3 months off...:p

There will be some MAJOR American committments upcoming ;)

[usafaircrew]

If there are some MAJOR commitments coming, do they plan on have a Factory Class?

[Andy Moore]

Less than 8 weeks!

[ben]

Less than 8 weeks!

posted a week ago though..:p:woot:

[ben]

WOOOO just over a month to go now :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Richard Lowe]

It's gone a bit quiet in here :eh?:

Any updates on the track layout Andy?

[James]

Yeh, im all confused theres still only 7 of us on the driver list :o

[Mike Hudson]

maybe all the americans deserted the clash
'cos they realised the all the drivers in the A-Mains would be GB :p:lol:

[Lee]

For those who haven't been before, bring an old body shell for practice, you are on track at the same time as 1/8 and truggies ;)

[Andy Moore]

We have a provisional layout worked up, it should be going in pretty soon. The problem is that the track is several hours from our shop, so we cant micro-manage it, haha. There are about 30 more entries signed up on rcsignup.com that havent paid (so we cant upload them to the list). AE should be out in full force, but we havent recieved and exact list from them yet.

[usafaircrew]

I know Chazz said Brian Kinwald and Paul should be there!

[usafaircrew]

I hope this race turns in to the new Losi Winterchamps were they get 200- 300 entries. If the AE team will be out in full force, maybe Tebo, Cav and the gang will show this year. I wish Losi would send some of their big guns too! It will be a blast this year regardless. See you all in down here in sunny Florida in about 4 weeks!:thumbsup:

[Lee]

I didnt realise it was so close, i must tell work i wont be in :o

Tebo should be onto his Kyosho deal, so I dont think he's going to make it. Cavalieri is and unlikely attendee also. Thielke, Ruona, Mitch, Maifield, Martin, Bradby, Skidmore (maybe), Eckert are coming from the AE camp. More news to follow soon!
