Anybody fancy a bit of outdoors action on Sunday? I see Bury are running outdoors all winter and there's a meeting on Sunday 30th.

I've only raced there once before and it turned out to be my costliest meeting (in terms of spares) but what the hell......you only live once :D

Hey don't diss the TC it's awsome racing i do it more than off-road at the moment and its great....sure you have got the jumps but still great fun :!: :roll:
Oscar

you'll never learn throttle control the same with a TC as a buggy, They just have loads of grip and not much else to do but occassionally turn the steering because you get to a corner 8)
chrislee
29-10-2005, 12:10 PM
Are you up for it then John or what? :D

PS - what's this throttle control all about? You mean it's not just on or off? :oops:

Try Racing 12th scale on-road. Now thats throttle control.

I went through two cars because i thought there was something wrong with them becuase they just kept spinning under power :oops:

I do!! And my first try with mine was with a 10 double and ZERO additive. Now THAT was fun. On slippyish carpet too and at Teesside before the floor was levelled (VERY bumpy...).

Another chance for an outdoor race this Sunday, 3rd round of the Bury Metro winter series. Booking in around 12.30, 2wd or 4wd.

Still don't know why Rog christened them "Ski Sunday's", we're in Manchester for God's sake, should be "Rainy racedays" !!!

Come on over, should be a larff.

youre brave frostbite, hypothermia etc.

Saying that ice racing is highly entertaining, considering the idea of going up myself.

The only other options are 12th at tamworth or in bed nursing a hangover :drunken:

Rob, it coincides with the Teesside Aces meeting - I've seen, on racechat, that Mr Long may be going there and probably a few others as well.

If the weathers sunny and dry i might come over
can non brca racers race ? my wife hasn't got her licence yet nor has she masterd the art of driving in a straight line, or indeed, any line.
:shock:
emzy
13-12-2005, 08:02 PM
OR you could come to Teesside Jimmy... and I could find a way down then I can teach Vickeh to drive... ahem... you know it makes sense.

And OI, don't doubt the power of girl!
RobHatcliffe
13-12-2005, 10:30 PM
No prob with non BRCA Jimmy, you'll both be very welcome if you choose to venture over to Bury on Sunday.

If Vicky has trouble keeping it in straight line I'll solve that by building a track that's all corners!

See you soon.

I wouldnt mind it em, but if the weathers ok i'd rather be able to get some decent photos :) Im not really up to doing some serious racing but it would be a laugh to get some photos of vickeh crashing! :) oops, i mean racing..
Oscar
13-12-2005, 11:33 PM
Bury's Ski Sunday could be fun, don't suppose you've got creché facilities since my last visit have you Rob??

Can I come too? Monday mornings at school really don't matter... *wink wink*

No creche facilities as yet John, maybe it's something to be discussed at the next committee meeting. If you have a child-minding problem for Sunday maybe we could ask Roger to dress up as a clown and entertain your little 'un whilst the racing is on :lol:

Hope to see you Sunday

Oscar

:

My Monday part was that I would have to find my own way to / from the Buryish area...ie I'd probably stay with Vicky and Jimmy on the Sat or Sun night and get the train home on the Monday morning... and miss school *shame*

But obviously not going to happen. :(

Paul - Shame you can't make it this week, it's shaping up to be a good meeting. Next Winter Series race meeting is January 22nd, hope to see you then

Andy - I think Chris was referring to an earlier round. There is an outdoor meeting at Bury this week (18th Dec). Booking in at around 12.30, everyone welcome, 2wd or 4wd.

Because your a shandy drinking part timer ? :lol: :lol:

Only joking Andy, Bury fixtures are at http://www.bury-metro-rcc.currantbun.com/Calendar.htm
I am hoping to go myself, depending on a) the Weather, b) is anyone brave enough to look after my kids on Sunday.

16-12-2005, 12:50 PM
I'll pop down to Bury for a few laps if a) the weather is okay and b) I survive the work Christmas do on Saturday night!

it was a good laugh have to say, I enjoyed it all apart from the clean up of that pred, thats gonna be fun since ive been up till 5am building the thing once today.
Still better than racing on a bit of old carpet though int it.. shame I didnt have sun for the pred photos but hey, it int california is it.
