Bury Indoor Today

[MikePimlott]

Excellent days racing loved everything today. Well done everyone involved :thumbsup:

[Stu]

Yeah - echo that.

I didn't hear a negative comment about anything connected with the track or venue all day - only good.

Lots of hard work went into that from Roger & Stu - and it showed. It was nice to be able to help a little.

We should get some good pics from Pete leter - I know he got some decent stuff.

Erm, nope, got about two useable shots after winding up to ISO2200, might have tried more pics if I didn't keep crashing and breaking my tired old car like a BQ bod!

No real complaints heard here either, a few lessons were learnt and I'm sure more ideas will be forthcoming, but a great effort for the first meeting at a new venue.

Well done to Roger, Stu, Nic and everyone else who got their hands dirty and thanks to the racers for showing up and supporting the club.

Hi guy's. A VERY BIG Thanks for everybody that turned up today. It was FANTASTIC. A big thanks to Nick Caro for all the help over the last few weeks. Also I would like to thank Stu Hurley, Mike Bradbury, Pete Byrom, Stu Evans and Mike Pimlot for helping with the track yesterday.

The venue is ACE and would love to keep it so thats very much for following the rules. Some tricky parts and easy parts of the track and as far as brakages all i heard of was when people crashed and went off track.

Another big thanks to Dad for running a great meeting also. A few spots of panic but you did very well.

All I can ask is if you could all come next time and now we know what we can do and use I think it will be much better. Remember this was the first indoor meeting we have ran so I think it went really well.

Thanks again and see you all soon.:thumbsup:

P.s. If I did forget to thank anyone I am very sorry as my head was thinking at 100 miles an hour.

[Answer-RC-Pete]

Excellent day! thouroughly enjoyed coming dead last in 2wd - no I really did!

Are the results available on line or likely to be? Intrigued what I did in my final time...

[Northy]

Sounds a good event guys.

So I take it none of you saw the GP? I suggest you watch the repeat, but not if you have a dicky ticker :woot:

[andy05]

agreed with all said above and a great track layout:thumbsup:

[MikePimlott]

And well done to they guys who won the prizes. An RB5 and a ZX5 SP top prizes :thumbsup:

[Answer-RC-Pete]

Yeah - Ive Pm`d the guy who won the RB5 - I have it here with me. He had never been racing before so sure he will be dead pleased with it.. Good intro to the hobby for anyone..

[matdodd]

Top venue & good tricky track :thumbsup: & I made it back for almost all the GP :D

[leechy]

Top day..... just wished I had managed to finish a race lol

[bigred5765]

Guys awsome meeting, best i have been to in years,loved the track, the jumps,and the surface, one to try if you didn't make it today, don't miss out next time,

[Jonesy]

I apologise again for my absence, hurt my back in work yesterday moving offices so had the feet up all day to be safe!!

Any results anyone??

[Jamie B4]

One word 'CLASS'

Really enjoyed it jumps were excellent and do-able but at the same time could catch you out. Will definately be a regular if this carries on. Hope to improve and has made me enjoy indoors again.

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Fantastic venue realy well run meeting the track was perfect on a par with worksop so if you missed it today come to the next one you wont be dissapointed.:thumbsup:

[WHITTLER555]

The track surface was excellent, in 4WD I used worn yellow mini spikes and worn grp's and they gave good consistent grip, never felt the need to go to mini pins.

The racing was good and ran to schedule and I did'nt have to get up at the crack of dawn to go racing:thumbsup:

Just seen the GP on Sky+, I now have a dicky ticker G!!!

About time a British racer got the luck EH!

Nice one Lewis!

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Guys awsome meeting, best i have been to in years,loved the track, the jumps,and the surface, one to try if you didn't make it today, don't miss out next time,

Made this one, but can't make next one, work :thumbdown:

Going to check out next years dates to see if I can get there again.

Probably could have made bottom A 2wd if I could have doubled one of the quads but I couldn't :(. Just they seemed to inconsistent. Even caught out some of the gods in both A finals. I was probably losing 1 to 2 seconds through that bit. Moan over.

Other than the above had a good days racing on a track surface that stayed consistent http://www.oople.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

Cheers

Just wanted to say thankyou aswell. This was my first ever race, I finished last and only did 1 and a half races after frying my speedo. I really enjoyed it though and everyone was really helpful. I will definatly be back, especially after winning the raffle, for which I would like to thank Answer-RC-Pete for his honesty and also for helping me throughout the day. Also thanks to stu, Roger and everyone who ran the day, it was a great introduction to the hobby for me.

[Robfo]

Bury was great! I liked the track but couldn't manage that double in the middle with my 4wd, think i ran out of talent there:lol:

Gonna be back for some more rounds if time permits :thumbsup:

[bigred5765]

its great to see everyone has positive comments lookin for for the bury indoor winter season guys, well done

[_sleigh_]

Great day's racing. Shame I misjudged the journey time and arrived nearly an hour before the doors opened. :yawn:

Even though the track was compact, it raced extremely well. I agree with Mr Lowe about the four hump section in the middle, the up slopes need to be abit stronger, to stop random bouncing on take off. Apart from that the meeting was excellent, run smoothly and away nice and early. :thumbsup:

I did mention to WoOdy about possibly running the track 90deg to Sundays layout, and making use of the recessed section of the building. That would give a straight about the same as Sunday, but also more track depth. Rostrum could be placed where we pitted Sunday and pitting could then fill the top end of the room. I think that idea would all depend on the movement of the fancy gymnastics flooring :confused:

Wow, I managed all that post without mentioning the random back maker who "jumped out" infront of me, managing to pop-off almost every ball-joint of the front of my car. Oh well, still a great meeting :) Did I mention LiPo are ACE :thumbsup:

Was that in the final? I saw Stu Hurley valiantly trying to piece it back together - the 2WD 'A' did look a bit like the first day back at school :D

[Spencer Mulcahy]

I must say sorry for my track cut in the B final :thumbdown: I got mullered over the big jump after a good start and I lost it for a second. After Rog shouted I slowed right down to the back of the field and carried on with my race. I hate this kind of thing so it wont happen again.:blush: The X5 is bloody ace only been two meetings with it so I am not counting my chickens lets hope it carrys on.

[Cowman]

Forgot to say that I left my chair at the race, its a green one if anyones seen it?

[Irri Tant]

use the sand pit next time :woot::o:thumbsup:

You mean with the straight going away/towards us as we're standing on the rostrum?

For me that's a big NO NO been there done that it makes it too far and even worse with buggys, mode difficult to judge the jumps.

[Mike Hudson]

Yeah you're shit :o
language please :cry:

Yeah Sorry Phil, I only saw the one popped off first time, hence your 2 pit stops :blush:

Don't be silly, all you can ever ask of a marshall is that they've tried their best. Afterall you're not really there to fix cars.

[DaveG28]

Be glad it wasn't as knackered as the pred that got lamped flat out, ouch!

Must apologize again for my driving in the 4wd B, took the same car out twice. Couldn't do much about the first as I was trying to avoid a crash, but the second was really bad driving, plus I didn't wait for it to be marshalled. Sorry again to the guy involved!

That pred was mine, bearing in mind how hard it got hit there is only the chassis broke, none of the links are bent or wishbones broke.

Might of been nice if the person who landed on the straight infront of me had apologised but that's how these things go.

Apart from that I really enjoyed the day and I'm going to try and get down again.

hey mat sorry i relegated you down one, did it surprise u to lol???

[Stu]

The Pred felt ace on that surface - really suited it - generating lods of grip & traction on very worn spikes. The only bit where it was not spot-on was the rumble section just after the big table-top.

When I ran the XX-4 in round 4 and the final it felt safe (could nail the rumble strip) but dead - the lap-times were slower - but only just (and it didn't sound like a dyson-on-acid down the straight).

[Stu]

...................running the track 90deg to Sundays layout, and making use of the recessed section of the building. That would give a straight about the same as Sunday, but also more track depth. ...........

I dont think the straight would be as long by a fair way, but it sounds like maybe a good idea to try, just because it's possible. I have to say though I did like the long and norrow-ish layout a lot. The above sounds like a Worksop proportioned track - would it end up as a Worksop clone?

[matdodd]

hey mat sorry i relegated you down one, did it surprise u to lol???

:D It did after the first few laps!

[P_B]

If I'd not had to spend so long fixing the combination of rusty thumbs and knackered old car I'd have attempted more photos - as it was I was lucky to get a few usable ones during the 4WD 'A'.

Will be better prepared next time!
