New member & new club in North West

[Stevo]

Didnt know where to put this but thought I would say HI
my name is Stevo Iam 31 and I work for rossendale models, I race mainly 1/5th scale off road and own my own engine tuning company.
I own a few large scale cars and Iam the uk team driver for elcon models and also mcd 4x4
I also have just bought my self a 1/10th scale b4 for some indoor fun and also a 1/8th scale hpi vorza for some electic racing this year. :thumbsup:

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Alright Stevo welcome to the site if you need any help you will find it here or I run a B4 so have limited skills on the B4. I live about two miles from Rossendale Models Richard is a top bloke but I dont go in enough because they dont stock 10th stuff. Is that there new wearhouse on the way to Rossendale they are doing well if it is.

[Stevo]

Hello m8 yes thats the new kingcobra warehouse on burnley road, took some moving from the old one believe me lol, we are going to be starting an indoor club for a bit of fun on a tuesday night, and we will be stocking more 1/10th scale parts for the b4 etc etc and will look after anyone who needs anything.

Thanks for the welcome

Stevo

[lochness42]

Bit strange question - where are you from - your name sounds more like middle european than British.

Anyway welcome on oople. Have fun here ;)

Iam british m8 born in liverpool, Stevo is a name I have always been known as from a young lad.

[Stu]

Sounds like good news.
With the recent success of the Bury indoor series I expect you'll find local racers who will want some weekday evening club racing.

Where is the venue, I assume it's a little further up the road toward Crawshawbooth?

[twisty]

Hi Stevo,

good to see you over here fella.See ya trackside soon.
I see you got some fair times at The Pod with yer Diz-Astra recently,
Great wastegate chirps and Ian`s Kitten is quite rapid isn`t it!
nice one mate :thumbsup:

Si

[johnnygibbon]

good work boys i will be along to set up and rce think a few of the bury boys shouyld be along:woot:

[Stevo]

Thanks for all the welcomes guys,

Twisty its running 100bhp more than it was at the pod now 351bhp and also had a quaife diff fitted so should see some better times, not bad for a van lol

The club is under construction and I will keep every one posted, we have somebody to do race control big thanks to him for helping out, we are not confirmed on the venue as off yet but will soon have it finalised, we have decided on a tuesday night as this does not clash with our main hobby 1/6th scale racing and also other clubs, we would also like to stock more 1/10 scale parts so some ideas would be good on what to stock etc

Stevo

[Whiskers]

When will racing at this new club start as I am a begginer but really want to get racing.

[Stevo]

We are hoping to have it up and running by the end of january early feb, I will keep posting our progress.

[Stevo]

Ok guys here is the progress as promised,

We have just secured our hall for indoor racing, this will be held at alder grange high school and to start off will be the second and last weds of the month, so every 2 weeks, We are hoping to have the first meeting on the 10th march, this will be confirmed closer to the date but this is what we are proposing, The track will be timed and we will run the meeting as a race night so should be some great fun. We are just in the process of getting all our supplies ready and we would also like to know if anyone knows of any carpet that is for sale that we can add to our own if we need it. the format at the moment will be 2wd and 4wd 1/10th only and will be from approx 7pm - 10pm.

[Tyson]

Hi Pal, awesome turn-a-round on finding the venue, times and dates sound cool, I am sure there will be a few of the Bury lad's interested in the mid week racing. NO 1/8 shame on you LOL:woot::woot:.
Did that HB 16t pinion ever turn up??.
If i dont see ya before i will be at Bury end of the month (take it you'll have mini pins this time;))

[johnnygibbon]

nice one i could only find a hall behind a pub. :woot: might not have been that easy to get round track. ill be setting up. jumps are on the wat:thumbsup:

[kitesurfer73]

nice one there stevo:thumbsup:

i'll be on route in march for more indoor racing sounds like you have it all sorted and yeah some bury lads will deffo be there.
Just think i'll need to bring spares if johnny lad is setting up jumps lol

[Si Coe]

Never mind spares, bring a fire extinguisher if he's the course designer!

I'll have to do the calcs to see if I can make it but for a 7pm start should be doable.

[jameswilkinson7]

Great stuff stevo. Thats close enough for me too. Ill be there on the 10th:thumbsup:

[Whiskers]

I'll deffo be there on the 10th for my first ever race! What tyres will i need for carpet and lets hope i don't crash into everyone or kill my car! :woot:

[Stevo]

Most people use schumacher mini pins for carpet, we have them in stock why not give us a call 01706250007 ask for stevo or better still pop down.


Tyson we have the 1/8th mini pins in stock but only a few sets left they sold really fast give me a call and I will send them out to you, if not they should be in again in a few days, regarding the pinion it wil be in stock weds / thurs for you bud.

[T4miy4 Guy]

I have a feeling Johnnys jumps are gonna be interesting to say te least ;)

I`ll be popping over :thumbsup:

Andy

[Whiskers]

What equipment I.e. mains power, tables will be provided for pitting?

Cheers

Josh

[Harris Magnum]

Is this still on for March 10th?

[cwp]

We are all go for the 10th march.
As regards 240v power suplies just bring an extention lead,as regards pit tables if people can share it would be a helpfull.
If people would like to book in on line just click on the Ross mods link below and you. Will find the sales email link on there web site.
If you could put in your title race night it would help us.
All we need is your name pt no and class 2wd or 4wd.
Doors open at 6pm see you there.

[Jnunu1]

Hi

If i dont have a transponder of my own can i still race - i guess it would mean a "borrow" from someone?

Not sure if this is feasable/too cheeky!

Would like to be able to come as its dead local.

Jnu

[Si Coe]

I doubt lack of a personal transponder will be a problem. I'm not sure if the club has a set of handout transponders yet (guessing they do) but I know several of the guys who are coming do not have PT's including some of those involved in organising the club.
PT's are distinctly a luxury item.....

[Jnunu1]

Excellent - thanks for that:thumbsup:

Jnu

[cwp]

We have hand out transponder so problems there.

[Whiskers]

What time will the first race start?

[cwp]

Be there for 6 to get yourself booked in,I would charge everthing up before you get there.

[Stevo]

[jameswilkinson7]

Another great meeting guys. Thank you.:thumbsup:

[WHITTLER555]

Yes mate, you raced really well last night!:thumbsup:

[Jnunu1]

Well, thats the first race for 20 years over and done with!

Thanks to all for their patience and no screams of "what are you doing???" as i struggled to get my car round the track AT ALL!

Practice makes perfect (or at least competant) and i did get (a bit) better as the night went on. Lets see if i can spend some time weaving in and out of traffic cones and chalk drawn tracks on car parks before next time!

Anyway, I dont think 2nd in the B final is all that bad on first showing.(Pause) Well, ok, it was 2nd out of 2 but as Yazz said, the only way is up.......;)

[nobby]

i popped up to the club last night for a race and i was made to feel very wellcome by everyone there.

thanks again guy's and i hope to see you all again on the the 21st if thats ok.

oh and i hope the track was ok:blush:

[Si Coe]

Yeah - Good (if a little quiet) night last night.

After the B4+Ankle incident my foot has now gone black and swollen up quite nicely, which has got me out of decorating the nursery:thumbsup:

[Jnunu1]

Honestly Nobby - it really wasnt the tracks fault my car broke. I dont hold you responsible in any way at all! ;)
