Schumacher Meeting next week?

Think we need to keep the most dificult features nearest the drivers, the straight ought to stay where it is in my opinion but we'll make it narrower next time..

I reckon we need some large sheets of plywood to cover the mats which ought to give a better profile than just laying carpet for up and down rams of the main 'feature' jump.

I think the centre has thrown some of the large red wooden boxes we used last series away as they'd been stored outside and gone rotten, really need some exterior ply or similar if we're to make the larger jumps longer as we're now short on boxes. They were used for the rostrum last year, i'm surprised noone commented that the rostrum was half the height of last years!


Where you coming from Danny? Youre quite a way off arent you?

I don't mind a narrow straight danny, so long as the end corner is made tighter by it, I like the corner we had on Sunday - it was fast without being flatout, and the corners of the pipes didn't jump out.

leave Zoe alone... she's unmarshalabable!

I like the sound of a rhythem section Danny. The bump bump jump bump section could be done as three jumps, clearing the 3rd - I don't think many 2wds did it, but i was on 50% of my laps, but then it made the matts a bit more tricky as had 2ft to scrub the speed off.

Sooo, perhaps 4 jumps like they had, but all a bit closer, so they can be done as a double double, 4 singles, triple single but defo don't make it quadable.

I wonder, if we'd had that thick blue crash matt layed after the big jump, so it was in the landing zone, then drive off that, onto some thinner matts.

There are lots of idea's, it'd be a shame to use them all at round 2 and peak on the track building, save some things for the other rounds otherwise all tracks will be similar except for the corners.

Now then, straight infront of the rostrom - now thats old school! We always used to have the straight there back in the days of Leigh for anyone who remembers that club. Personally I don't mind, or a diagnal straight!

some good idea comin i like the rythem section danny

to me the problem with the small ramps was the materiel they were made from ( same as up ramp on the big jump) it was that hardboard? wood, which moved and flexed everytime a car hit it so car hit wood, flexed and then kicked the car (noticed it when marshalling near em) a firmer plywood would make em more consistent

im not track designer, but it is nice to see allot of racers wanting to help! well done all

[Northy]

The landing zones after jumps are always much better if they are:

Hard material

Long

Shallow angle


The sequence of jumps we had at the indoor finals that people really liked weren't high, but were just right and as above. Some of the countrys best drivers said they were great (engage smug mode.....)
