Is the Bury Metro Indor series definately going ahead?
 
Hi Guys,

I'm just asking the question from a personal point of view, after reading comments in another thread on here. I've not heard anything or trying to start rumours here.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm currently racing rallycross, and I'm considering trying out 1/10th offroad during the winter. I think I'm getting soft in my older age and don't fancy the cold or car cleaning;)

It would be good to know before spending the cash on a car, brushless & lipo setup etc etc.

Thanks for any advice,

Rgds,

Colin

I was just about to post that YES IT IS going ahead. Had a word with Dad last night and he said ' I have nothing else to do '. Great news as I was really worried as I would of had to quite racing to run the computer and I love it inside. Going to be even better than last year as we dont have to buy anything for the track. Going to keep the GREAT PRIZES up too:thumbsup:

Thanks for that.:thumbsup:

Now for a bit more information. I've been racing the Kyosho brand of cars in rallycross, currently the MP9; because of that I'm looking at trying out 2wd, in particular the Ultima RB5.

Would this be a good option? will spares be available trackside and will other racers be running the car that could assist on the setup front if I'm all at sea?

Thanks again,

Col

Car is a good strong car and would be good for indoors (mine was) And it should be supported for spares as Jez from model torque supports the series with his shop. And Stu Wood is a RB5 expert and always extremely helpful


EXCELLENT NEWS STU.
Cant wait for the series to start.

Good news Woody!! I'm hoping to attend all of the series this year!

Can we do points scoring this year and have a series as such? Not necessarily have prizes but I think it make it moer interesting and could appeal to more people?

I'd be quite happy to take the results hope and do all the points scoring and publish all the tables etc... I can post the results on oOple and e-mail them round to anyone who's interested etc..

Chrislong 26-08-2009 10:26 PM

tony12795 27-08-2009 10:49 AM

Yeah, me too.

woOdy 27-08-2009 11:45 AM

The points thing is a great idea and I will speak to Dad to see if he wants to do or give the job to Jonesy. Stil going to be prizes though as this is a big thing for me to give back to you that come along and that day.
Thanks guys for all your notes as this does help.

Heard a saying once' If you build it, they will come'.:woot:

I'll re-itterate that I'm quite happy to do it all mate, even got a spreadsheet set up the occasion (I know I'm a geek!)

If I'm able to get up there on the Saturdays to help lay the tracks etc mate I'll try my hardest but can't promise.

This is going to be awesome :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
