Just to let everybody know, the counsil will be starting either next week or the following week!
We are having a new track and they are going to try and re-use as much stuff as possible.
We are having a brand new rostrom.
The contractor has said it will probably take untill the summer untill it is finished but at least it will be started.:thumbsup:

Good news,
What will be state of play for regionals this year ?
Si Coe
16-02-2011, 06:04 PM
AFAIK the regional dates haven't been set yet - I certainly couldn't find any. So Bury's dates could be adjusted to be later in the year.
But I also think it is our intention in the meantime to use our indoor track markings and jumps to set out a grass track course elsewhere in Goshen park, just to keep the racing going. We can rotate the exact location to avoid serious wear on the turf.

B4.1 Brushless RTR.
There was one racing with us last Sunday looking pretty decent straight out of the box.
We do have a few trucks that race though, so if you want a Slash its got some competition, but you'll find the Slash is the least raceworthy truck, so will find it harder. If the short course style appeals, the HPI Blitz is a better truck than the Slash.

In my eyes the contractor took possession of the track and all of it's components the day they started work on it and. when it is handed back to bury metro it should be perfect and ready to race on.just like it was when we handed it over
All in all it should be better than it was anything less isn't acceptable and won't be signed off by us the club as a group not left to one man
As for the burnt astro we didn't leave it in harms way did we so it will have to be replaced let's have it right and let's not take any shit!!!
Im sure the kids at goshen will have no problems knocking a wall of bricks down every night once they start the extension it would be cheaper for them to astro the lot !!!

Great to see progress with the new track. That fence looks mighty fragile though against the local youths. I know they probably are just replacing like for like which is fair enough but we'd all be gutted if the track gets damaged after they have gone to all that trouble. It would be good to get a proper palisade security type fence really as it's more of a deterrent but I appreciate these things cost money. There might be someone who could get it at cost who is in the trade??

Get yourself a B4 2nd hand. The spares are cheap! and you can get the cars for about £60-£80 spend a little on the electrics and you will have a decent car that will hold its money.
I started with a B4 and i found it great to drive! you would be fine it the 4.1 RTR they are just over £200.

Well to be fair, I'm fairly new to this game also. And the B4 has been fine in my opinion.
i've had two of these now and i think they are a good car for the money.

I saw that one! It looks like a good car. You could sell the brushed gear that comes with it to fund a brushless setup.
I run an 8.5t orca setup. That cost me about £130 that seems like a pretty decent setup.
All told i have spend about £400 so far. And i have got pretty much everything i need and a well setup car.
I suppose it all depends on your budget.

Si Coe
16-03-2011, 08:23 PM
I've no idea either Rog!
But since people are talking cars:
The B4 is our current beginners weapon of choice, and with good reason. Its tough, easy to setup, nice to drive and goes very well. Rob and Nick can win with it, so its not just a beginners car.
Firestorms can race with us, but we aren't currently running a truck class. We will if there is enough demand, otherwise you'd be in with the buggys. Actually at the old Goshen track trucks could lap as well as 2wd buggys due to being better over the bumps, but I'm not so sure at the new one. So if you like it and want one by all means, but unlike the B4 there won't be a wealth of knowledge and spares trackside. However Firestorms are very tough, so you won't need the spares.
However I did PM you about some stuff. Reply to me with budget details and I'll see what I can sort. I can normally find a package for any budget - just ask Whiskers who I got racing on a shoestring!

But since people are talking cars:
The B4 is our current beginners weapon of choice, and with good reason. Its tough, easy to setup, nice to drive and goes very well. Rob and Nick can win with it, so its not just a beginners car.
Firestorms can race with us, but we aren't currently running a truck class. We will if there is enough demand, otherwise you'd be in with the buggys. Actually at the old Goshen track trucks could lap as well as 2wd buggys due to being better over the bumps, but I'm not so sure at the new one. So if you like it and want one by all means, but unlike the B4 there won't be a wealth of knowledge and spares trackside. However Firestorms are very tough, so you won't need the spares.
However I did PM you about some stuff. Reply to me with budget details and I'll see what I can sort. I can normally find a package for any budget - just ask Whiskers who I got racing on a shoestring!
Not sure Neil Cragg and Paul Bradby would agree! B4 is a great car at any level. :thumbsup:
Anyway, the track looks very promising, I reckon this will be the resurrection year for Bury outdoors (not that it was dead). Looking forward to some good meetings. I hope the racing is as entertaining as this section of the forum!

Interesting word "resurrection" shows how much attention you've paid to the club over the past couple of years. bury metro has gone from strength to strength from 2009 to 2010 which was the best year go date and the club is expecting to grow again this year judging by the clubs winter series growing in numbers and intrest in this thread some new names some from old(you being one I haven't seen at the track for a while)
The club has had a change of attitude with regards to not taking any of it to serious unless it's under brca rules ie regionals
The club and it's members have a zero tolerance to shouting at people and abusing people if anyone does either god help them!!!

The new astro is looking great! Its nothing like the old stuff though. It has a thicker pile and thinner fibres a bit like carpet but very green. It looks like minipins could work well.
Also the footballers where there and a couple of their kids thought that it would be fun to roll down one of ramps and run around jumping over things. The fence definitely needs to be taller as at the moment it's not even eight year old proof!

I'd start with some standard 'keep off's, but in this day and age I reckon a few 'Enter at own risk' 'Injuries not the responsibility of BMMCC' 'Unsuitable for cycling' or just a plain and simply 'Chav scum, just 'cos you have no interest in anything because you are a pathetic loser don't come in here and trash our nice new track'
Also I suggest the following:
No Gypo's (that means you Johnny!)
Caution - Large Crack (in case Dave bends over and moons us again)
Dogging is prohibited (For Shanks)
Shouting at marshals will result in banning of club members from OOple!
And finally I think a 'Welcome to Bury Metro, please drive carefully (yeah right!)' sign......

I myself do think there parent's are partly to blame but its also the way that if they get caught, nothing happens to them anyway.

Half of the yobs and thier parents probably live off the state and our tax money that we pay to feed thier habits, and what the locals in bury have pay in taxes that has most probably gone too fund this tracks. Its a crying shame that these sort of ppl ruin track that all of our hard earned cash has gone into fund and racing alone is exspensive and these ppl are jealous that we do gooders can afford to race. All they have to do is ask question, show an interest, leave their pikey hands to them selfs and maybe they might make new friends that respect them and not put our hands round their necks when we turn up in a morning to find that half of the track is on eBay and the whole estate has got new front garden fencing:thumbsup:

Tell you the truth lads it's not so much the Chav kids to blame.
If they hang around near houses the owners ring the police who then turn up pour all their cider away then disperse the group.
If they hang around near the the shops some old granny's complain they don't feel safe and won't go out after dark so then the shop keepers ring the police they turn up pour their cider away again disperse the group again it's the smack head house breaking criminals scaring the granny's not our Chav hoodie wearing vandals
So what do the little hoodies do the congregate on our rostrum and our track where they can see the coppers coming and quickly drink their cider before the pigs come an confiscate it.
All these misunderstood little freaks want to do of a weekend is get pissed,have a joint maybe pick some mushrooms to eat or ingest some plant food(meow meow) take a few acid grab some spiral haired girl with 6" earrings give her a good fin**ring and maybe a shag if she falls unconscious from all the cheap drugs they have plied her with!!
So to sum up I blame the shop keepers,home owners,granny's and the police for giving the hoodie chavs no where else to chill out socialise and try and pipe some dirty girls
Reminds me of the good old days.me and shanks got up to far worse!!!

I was going to join bury rc club but is it worth it if the track keeps getting trashed ?
Also could you not get some help from comunity bobbies ino they cant do much but may help keep an eye on who is to blame.

Its lack of respect, due to parents.
I was down there years and years ago, and a chav kid came over with his mum pushing a tot-chav in a pram. kid asks me "Can I have a go?" I said "No you'll have to bring your own" so his mum says (orders) to me "Let him have a go, he has his own and he can drive it so he can drive yours!" I can't recall my response but it was polite and they walked away. But what chance has that kid got in life?

If you live in Wigan, you've seen worse!
The new track and the old track are separated by about 20 feet! So far nobody has actually trashed the new track, and TBH they might never, but occasional damage has occurred to the old track. Over the last few years nothing that has actually prevented us racing though - just a bit of graffiti and a few side panels missing from the rostrum. Mostly its just empty cider bottles and food wrappers, and lads using our jumps on their BMX.
However, that was the old track with gaps in the astro so big you could lose a car in them. Now we have a shiny new track we'd rather it stayed that way for as long as possible. Whilst a giant spray painted cock on the main straight won't stop us racing (Buds might prefer that!), it will still be gutting when its brand new astro!

The problem is everywhere and all we want to do is race, join bury, the damage that happened to the old track happened over a long period of time and we might be lucky and vandals stay away....

why is everyone slagging off the Kids! at the end of the day nothing has been done to the track yet and any type of bmx / running /skate /bowling/rc track built on a council/public place is always going to have problems with kids vandals dogs grannys etc so stop bitching about stuff thats not happened yet and lets see more of the pics of what hopefully going to be an awesome track:thumbsup:

Actually something has happened - someone set fire to some of the old astro that had been lifted when the previous track was dismantled and was going to be re-used
Now in the end they actually did us a favor because now we have nice new astro on the whole track instead of some old / some new, but they didn't know that! And whilst the council has graciously given us this new astro, don't expect them to be so generous if someone burns a hole in the new stuff.
Which is why people are worried - we are going to have the newest and best track in the country and we want to keep it that way!

If you have anything new built in a public park thats not for public use and only have a 4 foot fence on it your just asking for trouble you need at least a 10 foot fence to have half a chance. If you put signs up cctv etc you will never stop it.
Me and Vaughn Skate on the local skate park that was built on our local park most saturday mornings and the amount of times we Have had to clean it up put out fires etc after the kids on a friday night is just stupid
and we live in a nice area

There's normally a giant cock on the straight and that's you when your marshalling !!!

I agree with this, if the council would fund it a palisade type security fence probably would be sufficient deterrent (the ones that are sharp on the top), although it may look like a prison. I think the fence they have round the footy area is just a chainlink type and they are easier to climb. At least if it is more difficult to get over they might think twice if they don't have a potential escape route, a bit like rats, don't like being trapped.
Southport club have had their fair share of massive cock style track graffiti over the years, and them lads are dead posh over there.
It's not just Bury, it's just kids.

can I ask if the astro is going to be pinned down as well? joining the seams and piling loads of sand wont keep it down completely, I know I installed astro turf for residential and buinsess use for 2 years.

Due to a misunderstanding with the council/contractor, we need to sort out our own rostrum.
Any ideas ?
I'm getting a couple of quotes from a gate maker and a scaffolder but if we can do it ourselves we'll get exactly what we want.

I liked the idea of stu's the shipping container with a drop front least when locked up its not another attraction for the kids to hang out on. Or are the two containers in the pics owned by the club? if they are just put a hand rail round the top of one and have a ladder that can be removed at the end the race meet so nobody can climb up most probably the cheapest option

Yes, I can have a look at it if you want me too. Fabrication is my job, I can get the materials at cost and would obviously help you guys out for free:wub
Only issue for me would be transport. I have a van but some of the fabrication may be too large to transport that way.

Was going to say about the sand, it's far to dense, will take ages to fall through the pile, what's the deal with the pinning of the carpet rog? If not we need to get about 200 pins and a mallet
