[Jamie.T]

Hey Matt, will it just be open track on Saturday, or will it be timed. I can only make the Saturday so ill be bringing a 3 cars with me.lol (if its open track) otherwise ill be sticking to a sensible 2.

[minimatto]

open track on Saturday, just pay in cafe before entering.

[GRIFF55]

Any pics of the new track?

[evolution]

I'll be there saturday morning till 1pm before i have to go to work.
Will there be mains power available Matt as i might come up on the bike and the old transit batteries a bit difficult to fit on the Triumph :woot:

[minimatto]

Sorry no pics yet, and yes there will be electric at track side on Saturday morning

[telboy]

Hope the two trick jumps out on the back of the circuit have been sorted for those of that aren't superstars.;)

They were a bit tricky last year...even for some of the superstars!:woot:

[_sleigh_]

I believe they are now one big table-top.

[panch]

Hope the two trick jumps out on the back of the circuit have been sorted for those of that aren't superstars.;)



Nothing wrong with them mate, i hit them every time last year.........








.....Mostly nose first :D

I enjoyed the challenge though :thumbsup:

[Belsten]

I believe they are now one big table-top.

yes it is :thumbsup:

2011 track

[Shaun 'TheSheep' Atkinson]

Are we going to be using the big table top at the back and the section on the left for the Nationals? :thumbsup:

Looking good though! Can't wait now lol

[Jamie.T]

Had an awesome day at Taly today. The new track is amazing, a real credit to all the guys involved.

Grip levels were consistent and the profile of all the jumps were perfect. We run the track in both directions and it was good either way.

Cant wait to come watch the National there in a few weeks, im sure you'll all love it.

[minimatto]

the 4 jumps on very left side of track and the large table top at rear are on the 1/8th section of the track.

[evolution]

Had an hour last Saturday to get a base set up on the 22 and it was a lot smoother than last year and better flowing. Enjoyed it and looking forward to the National.
Just a quick note that although i'll be racing all weekend i will have the shop stuff with me for the event. If anyone needs anything give me a buzz and i'll get it bagged up ready for the Saturday morning.
Any other traders going so the drivers know who's about when the usual "incidents " mysteriously occur:wub

[Freakypen]

I couldnt make it to Tally last wkend :(-just wondering is there any practise etc on this wkend?

[DCM]

I would guess that the track has now got to be closed this close to the National.

I am 3rd reserve for 4wd, I may be racing after all :thumbsup:

[minimatto]

Track now shut

[Disco-Panda]

As always im looking forward to talywain i love going there :) :thumbsup:
the track looks awsome :)

[peetbee]

I'm in for 4wd :thumbsup:
I just need another 6 people to drop out to get me into 2wd too!

[Freakypen]

Damn...forgot you can't race on a National track the wk end before..( I believe ). Cheers for the reply :thumbsup:

[evolution]

I'm in for 4wd :thumbsup:
I just need another 6 people to drop out to get me into 2wd too!

I hope you'll be driving like a pro Pete, cos i'm getting scared now that i may be in your heat :woot:

By the way, 2wd for club tomorrow please :wub

[Shaun 'TheSheep' Atkinson]

the 4 jumps on very left side of track and the large table top at rear are on the 1/8th section of the track.

So the 1/10th National won't be having any 'Jumps' as such then? Just bumps...:eh?:

[peetbee]

I hope you'll be driving like a pro Pete, cos i'm getting scared now that i may be in your heat :woot:

By the way, 2wd for club tomorrow please :wub
Dont worry i'll be in the bottom heat paul, oh wait we may be in the same heat then :p

[DCM]

4wd, is the control tyres, Schumacher and Ballistic mini-spikes?

[_sleigh_]

Yeah, Schumacher Mini-spikes and Ballistic Buggy Mini-Spikes. They are controlled for both front and rear (driven axles)

I believe the issues of the Silver Sch Mini's not being commercially available at Robin Hood National has now been solved, therefore they will be legal too...

[DCM]

Thats cool, shouldn't need to acquire tyres for the weekend then, woot!

[Northy]

Yeah, Schumacher Mini-spikes and Ballistic Buggy Mini-Spikes. They are controlled for both front and rear (driven axles)

I believe the issues of the Silver Sch Mini's not being commercially available at Robin Hood National has now been solved, therefore they will be legal too...

Only the rear axle boss ;)

[_sleigh_]

You is correct boss, I was thinkin EFRA for some reason. That's why you're the maximum best tech dude we've ever had.

[Northy]

You is correct boss, I was thinkin EFRA for some reason. That's why you're the maximum best tech dude we've ever had.

LOL

Others may not agree :woot: Feeling the :wub though, thanks.

[nobby]

woo hoo another race this weekend:thumbsup:will there be any shops there over the weekend?
anyone staying in hotels if so were?

[peetbee]

will there be any shops there over the weekend?
Paul (evolution on here) will be there all weekend www.tracksidespares.co.uk (http://www.tracksidespares.co.uk)
give him a shout if there's something you need him to take!

[trekkerkk]

does anybody know what the reserve list is like for this event

trekkker

[MatJohnson]

at last email there were 5 who were still awaiting places. Its moved down quite a lot as well.

[Body Paint]

does anybody know what the reserve list is like for this event

trekkker

Just seen the list, 5 in 2wd and 2 in 4wd

[wacattack]

Whats the tyre consensus in the wet, schumacher or ballistic?

[Jamie.T]

Last time i ran in the early morning damp conditions i preferred Schumacher greens, then used ballistic greens before the track dried up and switching to yellows.

Doubt you'll need the ballistic greens tbh as the track dries up very quickly meaning you can go from Schumacher greens straight to yellows for your next run.

[peetbee]

Just got a call from Paul, I'm in for 2wd now. Really looking forward to this weekend. :thumbsup:

[blue_pinky]

Sweeeeet!!! :thumbsup:

[evolution]

Just got a call from Paul, I'm in for 2wd now. Really looking forward to this weekend.
:thumbsup:

Its alright for you Andy, you won't have pete for racing company all weekend LOL:)
Bring it on Pete, my 22's tough enough to fend off your Kamakazi B4 :lol:
I can cope with being Dominated by dave, but there ain't going to be no double ganged this weekend:blush:

[peetbee]

Humph, unlike you I never intend to hit the other cars on the track, my driving isn't good enough to allow me to aim at anyone!

If Pete N get's entry too we could end up with a very familiar Caldicot line up in the final!

[blue_pinky]

No "double ganged"...my little bro is on the reserve list aswell...was 5th when he txt me this morning...if Pete B's now in that make him 4th...so you might have 2 brothers to contend with yet :lol:

You want to hope your early entry and a result in the first national pushes you higher up the heat list this weekend :woot:

[DCM]

Going to have more Welsh drivers than a regional!!

[peetbee]

But I'm not Welsh and I don't think Andy is either?!

but I know what you really meant

[DCM]

Your an adopted Welsh (plus you had your shots!!)

[evolution]

You want to hope your early entry and a result in the first national pushes you higher up the heat list this weekend :woot:[/QUOTE]

You mean there is still hope then????:)

It could be worse DCM might have an entry:cry:

sorry steve-me bad, lol:lol:

[JACKOR33]

I hope that your usual driving courtesy will not be in practice if I'm in your heat paul!!:woot:
:p:p

[Shaun 'TheSheep' Atkinson]

Sorry if I have missed it anywhere else, but too Pi***d off to check back through the thread lol

Does anybody have Paul's email address?

I won't be able to attend the Talywain National this weekend :cry::cry::cry::cry:
(Number 1 on the reserve list for 2 and 4WD, YOUR IN!)

My Inconsiderate girlfriend has decided this is the week she is going to start with the signs of going into Labour! She shouldn't be due for another 2 weeks, But no ... Just because it's a race weekend she's going to start with the signs early!

Anyway, hope you all have a good weekend racing....B******s! LMAO!! :woot:

sorry steve-me bad, lol:lol:

LOL, you didn't notice that Steve DOES have entry for 4wd then Paul!

Shaun, unlucky timing - you have a pm with Paul's email

But I think that means that another welshy gets entry - Hello Mr Farley!
Also means Darren gets to run his 22 in his first national of the year

[DCM]

Paul, just for that, I shall crash right infront of you and make it look like you hit me.... PENALTY!! lol :thumbsup:

[Darren Boyle]

Also means Darren gets to run his 22 in his first national of the year

Only if he doesnt get stuck in any "Ash Cloud" nonsense on his way back from the Worlds Warm Up in Finland, he's still there to the best of my knowledge after a few extra days practise after the event :confused:

[evolution]

Awh! c'mon steve, you did that last time and i got a penalty for taking all four of you out one after the other for various dirty deeds on me. Apparently if you take them out individually it doesn't get noticed:blush: so behave:)
Jackor 33, is that you dave/mark lol! your worse than me:lol:
If Spencers racing too the whole heat will be black listed except ME! cos i do drive nicely at National level HONEST!!
Even in the lower levels these boys are quick, so put on a good show lads and keep it clean. Rubbin is racing when its an SC10 or a club day. I'm sure we can all behave like gentlemen if we try REAL HARD:confused:

He certainly got the biggest cheer when he went up onto the rostrum.

Not a bad weekend, weather could have been better, but luckily it dried up both days. Track was nicely raceable, but the grip came up ridiculuosly fast when it dried! Caught quite a few out I think. Was on yellows at the right time on sunday but messed my run up as usual when it counted most.:cry:
