10electric, Cullingworth booking in Friday 21.02.14

[jameswilkinson7]

Hi all.

Please use this thread to book in for racing on Friday.

Unfortunately we need to put a cap of 20 drivers for this week only because we cannot use the stage area, pitting space will be compromised
N.B.
Nori should be able to have the heats sorted and we will want to start racing at bang on 7. So track building is the priority.

We need more volunteers to collectively help build / dismantle the track, this also applies at the end of the evening putting away the track. So please help, we get more racing in and get to go home at a reasonable time. Don't leave it to the same individuals to do the honours. Please refrain from practicing until the track has been built.

Also, don't forget to pay Nori
The deadline for booking in is 9pm Thursday evening, heat listings will be compiled after this time. If you say you are coming then change your mind for what ever reason, you must let me know as this affects everyone else & the heats will not be evenly balanced,

Poll


Drivers please give your preference as to how you would like the track for this week. It’s difficult to please everyone and their driving style all the time. The poll above shows track options which are a guide as to how the track could be built, so feel free to comment. Also remember preference must be given to those who turn up early and put in the time & effort, your assistance is welcome.

Doors normally at 6.15pm.

I'll be there for 6, so anyone wanting to help with the track can get there for then.

1/10th Buggies, indoors, carpet, slippy floor and jumps. Family friendly and good fun club level racing.

Address:
Cullingworth Village Hall

I sometimes wonder! :eh?:

[jameswilkinson7]

You'd still crash!

[cobra_shadow]

After talking to Nori we will not have the use of the stage this week so the track will have to be used for some pitting too. With this in mind I will be getting there early to help set up and see where and how to set up. if anyone wants to come down early I am looking at being there for no later the 4pm.

We can still stand at front of stage for rostrum, just not pit on there. I think with the two side rooms, front room, kitchen and hallway we'll be fine to have the full hall for track. I'll get there as early as I can Nick. please remember to sweep floor before hand.

[Tilly]

I'll try get there early to help but not sure if i'll be able to

[cobra_shadow]

I have been speaking to Nori tonight and he thinks that the stage floor is being painted as well as the sides of the stage. If the stage floor has paint on it then no we cant stand on the stage. We will see what the stage and any other items are like when we get there. I will be doing my best to make sure there are no pitting tables on the track so we can use all of the floor. And it will be swept I have permission from the wife to take our microfibre brush so it should get more dust up and give us better grip ?:thumbsup:

Now now James you know its not the track he hit its the cars that on the track that the problem :wub

You could pit in the middle Niel :thumbsup:

[Danny Harrison]

I'm thinking keep the tabletop from last week but with a straight exit downramp. And try aim for somewhere between fast and technical. We don't want it too easy. :D

[Tilly]

i was hoping there'd be a table top :-)

[jameswilkinson7]

straight exit downramp.

Make sure people can see both the up and down part of the ramp from wherever they are stood. This has caught us out in the past.

Wall of death, Wall of death, Wall of death!

[jameswilkinson7]

I want to see a loop de loop, flaming hoop and topless cheerleaders. Don't let me down!

[Nori_10]

I have manually created and separated the first heat as 4wd drivers.
This will give the top 2wd members to possibly race the 4wd members
if they do well. It also creats the opportunity for the 4wd members to race against other members rather than them selves all night long. Thanks Nori

Cheerleaders ? I thought strippers

[neallewis]

good meeting and track tonight. can't grumble at 5 rounds and 2 finals each. :thumbsup:
the track has the right balance of jumps, corners and flats for speed for me. liked it overall

[Nori_10]

Overall enjoyable evenings racing. Thanks track builder's / dismantles.

[Danny Harrison]

I enjoyed the track too. Allowed me to get adventurous :D

Makes life easier when ppl put track ideas forward. Cheers Paul Farrand :thumbsup:

[Tilly]

yeh it was an interesting track, never quite got to grips with the table top though. Well during the races that is, didn't do too bad in practice runs lol. Thanks for another fun night guyz

[neallewis]

the tabletop works better with the white plastic sheeting taped to it instead of carpet. the carpet in the run up made it difficult to square up to take it cleanly. the carpet on the down ramp and out corner bunched up and again made it inconsistent. the other issue we had was the stage extension which mean we had the gaps to fall into. it worked better the week before completely up against the stage with no gaps.

Craig i noticed your car lifting a rear wheel as you came off the straight and onto the carpet whilst turning before you hit the up jump. this was upsetting your car and made you inconsistent on the table top.
What front oil/springs did you have front and rear, and how many limiter washers in the front shocks?

[jampat2004]

Would have like to no racing was on again 2 weeks in a row, didn't realise this was just sat in twiddling my thumbs on Friday night could have been racing damm.
So where does this leave the calendar just so I don't miss anymore meetings.
Need to check oople a bit more

meeting in two weeks, then the friday after, then two weeks after that to be back on original schedule.

the tabletop works better with the white plastic sheeting taped to it instead of carpet.

We tried that and the cars where slipping onto the up ramp meaning you had no control where you entered the ramp.

the carpet on the down ramp and out corner bunched up and again made it inconsistent.

This was done so that you had grip to be able to slow down in time for the corner and not smash the car into the wall.

the other issue we had was the stage extension which mean we had the gaps to fall into. it worked better the week before completely up against the stage with no gaps.


I dont know if you saw but there where lights in the stage right by your feet. The cars where going over the table at a speed and if there was not a gap then there would have been damage to the equipment.

I understand that not every track that is built is perfect but both me and Danny are more then willing for you to come down and help us build the track.

Nick my comments were not a criticism of the track or its builders. please don't take it as so, and come back with sarky replies. I've already said i enjoyed the track overall. my comments were just suggestions about future table tops based on when we've built them other ways previously.
chill out man :lol:

i was aware of the stage extension and lights, you did the best you could with the stage as it was. the week previously we had the tabletop up against the main stage with no gap. hopefully for next meeting the stage extension will be gone.
we have also previously built a tabletop covered in the plastic sheet which does work better than carpet for the reasons mentioned. you are talking about the sheeting we placed in the run up on the corner which is not what i am referring to. i am referring to keeping a consistent surface throughout the corner in the run up to the ramp.
i would happily be there to help build the track but you are doing it when i am still at work.:p

the dramatic society have the hall for their show, hence the friday switch and extra meetings.

Yorcc is on Saturday evening.

[emtee]

ok.. thnx u guys.. c u then...

[tommygun]

Just read all this banter. To me, it sounds like that the track designing is getting OTT again! :p The poll is a great idea, so stick to it! In my opinion, table top ramps are useless and s**t, they break ya car, marshalls have to crawl under the table if a car gets stuck, or climb on the top if stuck. Also, these ramps can damage the surrounding area. Me and Trev like fast flowing tracks, although i do like them ramps James made ages ago. Any way... hopefully me and Trev are coming to next race!:thumbsup:!

[neallewis]

Thanks for that input Tommy.
