What age group should a 10 year old be in?
Just noticed you do a junior juniors.

[paulywally]

What age group should a 10 year old be in?
Just noticed you do a junior juniors.

The club supports and try's to develop the younger drivers as they are key to securing the future of the sport hobby.
the club invests a lot of time and effort bringing through new younger drivers and we allocate a separate heat for the junior junior driver who are in the main the youngest members of the club and a little less established and skill full as the junior drivers.

we feel in this way it reduces the pressure on them and they are more consistent, which in turn helps them develop and gives them a target to aim for with moving in to the more competitive junior heats,
it also allow the more established junior drivers to go at a speed where they are not restricted by slower drivers, and intern helps them to be more consistent.

Sorry for the long explanation and I hope it make's sense.

if you feel Jamie would be suited and would enjoy running in the junior junior heats we can switch heats. at the end of the day we want every participant to enjoy the events. and the fantastic sport / hobby.



Regards
Paul

[orinoco]

Thanks Paul, I'll leave him in the juniors just now, i just wondered if you had them split by age. We don't have separate heats for juniors up here, so just racing with other folk nearer his age will probably be more enjoyable for him. Looking forward to next week, cheers.

Col.

[K-Brewer]

If there is still space can you put me down for both classes, got the time off work now :thumbsup:

[nobby]

Hi guys could you cancel my entry for next weekend as I'v got something planned, and I can't change it.
Cheers.

[paulywally]

Hi guys could you cancel my entry for next weekend as I'v got something planned, and I can't change it.

Hi Chris I have removed you as requested.
and added Kevin Brewer in both classes.

[paulainscow]

Paul will the track be similar to the last one, with only part carpeted, or all carpets?

[K-Brewer]

Paul will the track be similar to the last one, with only part carpeted, or all carpets?


There will be more carpet in this round guys, it's probably nearly gonna be all carpet

[paulainscow]

Thanks. I thought that may be the case after being there the last couple Fridays

See you Sunday!

[Moss Models]

There will be more carpet in this round guys, it's probably nearly gonna be all carpet


Mini Pins it is then!

[paulainscow]

Mini Pins it is then!

Will you have some with you?

[Donutt]

There will be more carpet in this round guys, it's probably nearly gonna be all carpet

Any reason why? I think the current track style has been very good and challenging.

Have to say, not attracted to "all carpet" racing. I'd have kept running touring cars then...

[paulywally]

Don't Panic Dom

We will be running a similar set up with mixed wood floor and carpet
however we will be placing the carpet on areas of the track where cars may get stuck and additional protection / carpet around the jumps.


unfortunately the floor was damaged by drivers spinning up whilst getting stuck on the track markings during the last round and we have a possible claim against us for the damage. and we have to take smart measures to reduce the risk any further damage and a larger claim.

[Donutt]

That's good news.

Shame a few "diddies" (scottish word?) have to spoil it!

Get yer brains in gear people!

It's a great series and it's working very well, so really looking forward to more of the same this time out.

I really don't want to put a saddo jelly mould on my lovely off-road chariots....

[Moss Models]

Will you have some with you?

Yes I have plenty :thumbsup:

Full carpet please save the floor and makes closer racing

I agree , all or nothing with the carpet . Racing on wood floor was in the 80's man .

[chrispattinson]

with just over one week to go to round 3 of the Benfield winter series it looks like every one is going shopping

the confirmed numbers are down on the last round so far.



Regards Paul


So .... is this an opportunity for a Pre 1990 vintage class? Taking it back to the 80's! :thumbsup:

[corkyjohnson75]

[chrispattinson]

Ready to Rock Corky .... just need a 30AMP automotive fuse for the speedo..

[pugs]

Ready to Rock Corky .... just need a 30AMP automotive fuse for the speedo..

I'v got a packet of 7 with your name on:lol:

[DAVO]

Would be good to watch a heat of them racing

[corkyjohnson75]

I cannot see any wood floor on that beach Chris .

[Allan1875]

It would be a shame to take away too much of the slidy floor as that is part of the attraction of the racing.

If there is going to be the majority carpet, can you give us as much advanced notice as possible cause that means messing with shocks etc and I don't really want to be rebuilding these things at 7am on Sunday.

The reason I like Benfield is the split in both surfaces, it makes for good racing.

:thumbsup:

[richie.]

Would be good to clarify the floor asap, bought a full set of mini spikes solely for sunday and now wondering if they are now obsolete?!

[corkyjohnson75]

It's looking like it's going to be wood down the straight and a bit more carpet where cars potentially might crash a lot .

[beasty boys motorsport]

i ran new minispikes last night at the club, we had full carpet and the car was brilliant, just cut outside edge off the tyres

[K-Brewer]

i prefer mini spikes over pins at the club with or without carpet :thumbsup:

[corkyjohnson75]

I hope you are the official track builder after last weeks at Seaham .

[beasty boys motorsport]

im not racing this round....

[Allan1875]

Anychance someone can fire a picture of the track up tonight once its built so I know if I need to be tearing my car to bits tonight in the hotel?

If the only slidy bit is the straight, is there any point? May aswell be all carpet. I'm not fussed either way but as above I've already mounted a full set of spikes but if its more carpet id rather run pins.

Cheers mate, what time are you lads there until? Might pop over, just leaving the house the now.

[K-Brewer]

im sat at work :thumbdown: but normally no later then 6

[Allan1875]

im sat at work :thumbdown: but normally no later then 6

I definitely won't be there by then lol. :p

[Allan1875]

That's me here. Any joy with a pic so I know what I'm doing to this car. Filling shocks at 7am does not fill me with joy.

[Noob]

It's a mixture of carpet and floor.

[Allan1875]

It's a mixture of carpet and floor.

Cheers.

[chrispattinson]

Thanks so much again to Paul, Mike and the Benfield team for a great meeting. Food was great, track was great (- I thought it was a good balance of carpet and floor), and race direction was great.
Thanks to the lads for some great fair racing .... Lee and Simon from 2wd, and Allan in 4wd ... You were unlucky not to win mate. Might be worth someone calling through there leaders at the next round in the final.
Also some great racing from the juniors.


Thanks again ... Looking forward to the next round already.

Looking forward to the videos being put up and the race data.

Have a great Christmas everyone.

[Dkfream]

As Chris said great day, great food and great track, well done and thanks to all involved, some good racing today I really enjoyed it (2wd), need more practice with my 4wd but hopefully will get there, enjoyed chasing you around all day Chris give me something to aim for lol, looking forward to the next one all ready
:thumbsup:

[Shifta]

As already said, a great day out racing😃
Thanks to the Benfield crew..
Chuffed with Hayden's racing today, can't believe how well he was getting around! 👍 I wonder how long I've left before I'm just the mechanic??

[honrico Diablo]

Yes thanks fellas for a great day, Archie had a blast, he was asleep before we got to the Silverlink!.

Unfortunately I fell foul of the first come first served on the rostrum in the final, ending up at the opposite end which was near impossible to drive from, like a different track! Will be invoking the "Qualifying order" rule next time! (that means if i'm ahead of you, shift your aR$se!:p)!

Hopfully I'll be fully fit for the next round and I'll be able to help clear up!

Thanks again fellas!

[Noob]

Good, fun day's racing, i couldnt fault the track layout it worked really well.

Impressed with the organisation it was handled well.
If you enjoyed it, spread the word.
Looking forward to the next round in January.:thumbsup::D

[Jedward]

Great day out, thanks to all involved.
A big well done to all the juniors, especially Hayden, Elisha and William :thumbsup:

[richie.]

Loved every minute of it! Took a bit getting used to the surface as that was my first outing on carpet and decent jumps and can't wait for the next one!!

[DAVO]

Total brill day loved every minute.
Thanks to all involved and thanks for giving the younger kids there own series without the pressure of having adults in the same heats every kid there loves it.
I got some vids only phone quality will be uploading a while but they will be in the link in my signature
If ye enjoy the vids please hit the like buttons on them on YouTube or comment on them makes the vids pop up more on other peoples searches

I dont have any round 3 points 2wd or round 2 4wd, is it still being populated ?

Good work though for getting them up so quick.

[Allan1875]

Thanks for another good day lads although I do agree with Chris about the commentary. 2 out of the 3 lead changes in the final were caused by back markers being lapped.

[chrispattinson]

Could've been 3 of 4 lead changes... Check out 4:00 to 4:05 of 4wd A final, someone trying to unlap themselves from me as I was leading down the straight and taking me clean out.

[honrico Diablo]

Don't suppose you have the 2wd A final video Davo , be nice to see where it all went wrong lol

I don't need a video to tell me! its all good though, I've calmed down now!:mad: (and bought an new esc with turbo!)

[Dkfream]

Lol John, don't use boost on 2wd YA nutter, a 6.5t motor would have been fine lol

[DAVO]

Hi can I ask where the pics would be posted from the meeting ?

Also would be cool if we could get a little podium for the top 3 or what ever to get pics after the finals the juniors would love it and prob the adults they could be posted online which would promote the club etc.
