Bloody he'll that track looks awesome! Really looking smart. A bit more sweeping and were perfect!

[The Bod]

The track was ace today. The orange hose makes the perfect lane marking. A good turn out of racers and brilliant to watch the newbies/youngsters getting to grips with racing. Well done to all today. I just need to get to JE for a new trannie/receiver!!!

[jampat2004]

really enjoyed today at bury for the first time at new track,very technical and challenging.
good to race with some different faces,cant wait till next time.:thumbsup:

looking good guys, glad its all coming together nicely, but can i say without being jumped on, the track is looking a little flat, apart from the corner features whats happend to all the great jumps and table tops that were on the old track,?

Stu did a plan for the contractors I think he was thinking more blank canvas and add wooden ramps and features as we please. It drains well an is high grip so we are all happy with it :thumbsup:

The blank layout looks a lot flatter than say RHR, but the centre of the track is in fact raised so its actually more 3D than it looks.
The track is actually slightly larger than the first drawings, whilst the obstacles are the same or in one case slightly smaller, so there is a fair bit of flat ground. The intention, as Buds said is to use removable ramps for the rest. This solves the issue we had at the old place of the local kids using our track as a BMX park which had seriously bashed up the main jump.
Its surprisingly technical given how flat it looks.....

Judging by the wicked pipework that should prevent minke cutting all the corners haha!

Really hope the sand issue has gone on the rangos

Well there were a few running yesterday and non of them seemed to have any issues.

if you count them you will find there are more than the old track

[captainlip]

Of course they had been built by people who knew what they were doing.....

[mattb]

8 y shaped sleeping police men
9 island near stright
hmm think ur wrong pal

[mattb]

No one liked bury because everone said the track was a car breaker,so our new track has a nice smooth straight and some mega features and now its to flat lol

[bigred5765]

no one liked it,? far from it its was loved it was a great track,and as for the new track smooth is good no one complained,if man made features are to added thats fine

[Si Coe]

The thing is the cross, hump and ripples are so large they can be incorporated more than once in most track layouts, so whilst its only one 'feature' it comes up more than once per lap.
For example, sometimes the ripples are run in both directions with a divider down the middle.
Sundays layout actually doesn't show that side up very well. I've got some pics of an older layout I'll dig up.

As for the old track - people loved it, but they didn't come to race on it! Yesterday we ran 4 good sized heats in the rain on a club meet, which shows the new track is drawing folks in.....

[bigred5765]

no doubt at all
i did say for god sake dont jump all over me i was asking a question, i new that this would happen

[Si Coe]

Actually Carl its a very valid question. Seeing the track in the flesh its still a valid question - it certainly does look flat!
But when set up its a lot more 3D than it looks, at least it drives like it is. And its got more features than Southport!

[shanks]

no doubt at all
i did say for god sake dont jump all over me i was asking a question, i new that this would happen


Perhaps if you were to lie down on the track they could jump all over you! solve yr issues at same time!

Anyway i agree - ive seen circuit tracks with more jumps on them!!!

Whats the point in racing off road on a flat track?

[Si Coe]

What would you know Shanks? Last time you went racing your competitors were all cavemen and the marshaling was done by dinosaurs......

[AndyG]

my feedback on the track...

Great, nice big race area which allows loads of variations.

table top at start of straight and "burm" at the end I really liked.

The quad bumps - I'm still having nightmares about em. I could manage two singles and a pair reliably, two pairs was too much, but then I know (Rob?) the chap with the red, blue n white FS2 could do it reliably.

The wood jump was silly - purely I think because it was on the top ratchet setting. Sure, the cars looked amazing in the air, just thought it was sending em a little too high.

The step and table in the near right corner is a good feature - certainly possible to nail every lap, and equally it's gonna eat you up if you get it wrong.

And as for the Durangos.... well mine a) did get some sand in the centre spur (I pulled it off as a precaution, and it was OK), and b) my front crown gear went in round 5 .... but that was due to a shimming mistake on my part after installing new bearings.

Looking forward to the regional ... useful day.

Thanks !
:thumbsup:

It was Matt with the Lazer. And you don't want to know how many hours of practice that took!

We made a mistake with the removable jump - we let Johnny put it out. He thinks the top setting is the only setting! In fact, he was talking about installing it on top of the table top just before the main straight, then running down the straight the wrong way and seeing who can launch their car furthest into Goshen Park. I think Johnny might have some 'issues'.....

[AndyG]

one round, I got a position on the rostrum where the wood ramp was slightly obscured ... off I went full beans through the loop forgetting it was there and nearly beheaded the poor marshall in the corner.

:drool:

[johnnygibbon]

Learn how to jump you set of poofs

Reckon we need a bigger ramp and a landing ramp for massive air and soft landings For soft arses
And yeah big air competition is on I gonna show you fools how high a Rc car can go
Please refer to cool jump pics in the bury section and if you think you can take on me or johnny nitro Who is the Current big air record holder
Then bring it on
