yep that works:)

thanks:thumbsup:
its still a work in progress but hopefully i will be able to post all data from a nights racing on there for everyone to see,
if anyone has any suggestions for the site let me know.
the only down side is the site is free and im limited to 20mb

Don't see any reason we couldn't swap weeks if it's no problem for anyone else and you're going to be a regular every 2nd week!

Well since i started racing at tyne met its just keeps getting better all the time, good atmosphere, good racing, good laugh and not to mention my driving is getting better...........(when my wheel stays on :woot:)

I would race every week if i could :thumbsup:

dont know if anyone is interested but my FTX vantage buggy is on ebay (as a roller) with spares, but needs a front drive shaft

also

as my new buggy is a b44 i dont need the lipo stick, i have 3 which when charged last me a whole night, one came with the vantage is 2700mah and the other 2 are 4200, always balanced and used about 7-8 times and have deans connectors....£50 for the 3

message me if anyone is intereseted......forgive me if i have broke any rules:)

Well another busy night with 19 on the track making 4 heats again despite the shocking weather outside.
Nice to see Phil Haines back even if he did show me up for most of the night L
Just need to get Paul Ferris and Campbell with a P back now and I'm expecting Tony Telford back from retirement any week now as he's been along watching the past 4!
Good clean racing an improved marshalling last night with some close battles throughout the night which were great to watch.
As mentioned last night, I’m going to give the buggy’s the extra heat again next week and alternate from there on which will get one regular racer who can only make it once a fortnight on the right week for 4 rounds although if we only need to run 3 heats at any point this will change the weeks again.
Hopefuly see you all back next Monday

results from monday
 

Right ive got the results from last night on a memory stick, ive got the website, HOW THE F+@* do i get the results onto the site?:confused:
i wont let me copy and paste them:cry:

anybody got any idea??? Bill you out there:thumbsup:

no idea Mal but site layout looks good :thumbsup:

Thanks for that mark i really appreciate it, hope nobody minds.........:blush:

Don't have a clue how Moonfruit works - but your site looks a good 'un.
I'd suggest imho that you make external links open in a new tab/window as this allows users to close it when finished and easily return to viewing your site.

re results, if moonfruit accepts uploads of html files then should not be a prob with direct upload of the html created by bbk - this also saves you the effort of creating pages or links on your site as bbk does it for you.

Send me a pm with your mob no if you want to run through it. I think I said once before that I'll upload for you if someone were to send me a zip of the database each week. The first essential is to ensure every week is run as a new meeting and not over writing the previous one AND ensure that all meetings are run within the same bbk database.

P.S. - the only reason I'm not there recently is Sundays & Mondays are real busy for me of late - I'd love to be there and will be the first Monday evening I can :thumbsup:

thanks Bill, unfortunatley it doesnt seem that moonfruit accepts html which is why im having so much trouble uploading the race results,
ive tired changing the file in microsoft word and uploading it to the site but it'll only then allow to to save the file and not view it which is a bit of a chew on:thumbdown:.
If its ok with you i'll zip the files and email them to you, can you pm me your email please.
thanks for all you help mate:thumbsup:

Well another busy night last night with a nice even split of 20 drivers comprising 10 of each class. 4 heats of 5 with the buggies getting the extra round so TC's on for the 4 rounds qualifying next week.

The one thing that disappoints me every week about this RC Car club, is the way the time flies (it's sooo good), you just feel you're about to get into your stride, then that's it for another week, roll on next Monday!!!!!!!

It's just too good, keep it to yourself in case anyone else wants to attend.
;)

Newcastle R.C. Racers at TyneMet - setting the standard!:thumbsup:

your right jim the time flies over but thats what happens when your enjoying yourself:thumbsup: i now have to wait 2 weeks as im at work next week:thumbdown:

Same here for me,next time will be 2 weeks :cry:

Was a funny night for me, started off in heat 4 for qualifying.............I fealt like i went backwards as i forgotten that i had changed the ESC settings and found the buggy too fast for me. I dropped the throttle EPA down and added some drag brake on the radio which helped a bit but still found that i was under steering and running wide out of the corners !!!
(think my front diff needs a rebuild :blush: )

I dropped down to heat 3 for the B final still hanging in there only to lose a wheel nut again then watch my wheel over take my buggy :woot:

Front diff rebuild and maybe a few setup changes for next time :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

no havnt sorted the transfer problem Ray. Looks like my site doesnt support html files, so im looking into a site that supports that type of file. i might just manually input the data onto my site for the time being( which'll take bloody ages!!!)

Mal needs a site where you can FTP complete web pages - I believe I could give him a folder with password in my domain which hosts the pages in the above link.

BILL THATS MINT:thumbsup:
ive been copying the race results to memory stick and been bringing them home each week, i could zip them and email them to you, don't feel to comfortable messing about with other peoples websites in case it goes tits up:lol: im pretty new to all this.

ive posted the finals and series standings upto rnd 4 on my site;

Well 16 last night was a rather poor turn out by recent standards resulting in reverting to the 3 heat format - 2 TC heats of 5/6 and 1 Buggy heat of 6 - maybe the rest of you were trick or treating?
Yes I know that’s 17 but Mal ran both classes!
Anyway that puts us back in the position that the TC’s are still due the extra round the next time we need 4 heats - sorry to those who I changed it for last week but I tried!
Plenty of grip last night with the fastest lap and race time posted by a TC for a change J
As a matter if interest despite a couple of “holds” between races for people, we could’ve squeezed an extra round - guess we’re getting more efficient due to needing the 4 heats!
SO…..if we start the racing at 7:35 on auto next time we have 3 heats instead of 4 we should be able to run 5 quali and final for each heat. Do we go for that or do you all want to stick to 4 rounds and a final at the more relaxed pace.
See you all next week.

bought myself a new fastrax mega hauler for xmas (ye its a bit early) if anyone is interested i have my JCB tool chest roller for sale, almost brand new, yellow and black, can pack everything you need in it, car, radio, tools, spares, tyres etc, i used it for my buggie:thumbsup: so would fit either buggie or tourer in it....£20 and its yours:o

For sale!!!!
 

is racing on tonight?

Yes mate, a few of us get there before 7pm so we can get in fast and start getting the track equipment out (the faster the better)..............see you there :thumbsup:

You coming racing tonight then Richie?

One buggy short of being able to split the class last week. Come on buggy lads we need 8 to allow a split into 2 heats of 4. Some of you occasional racers get along on a Monday and some of you regulars, drag someone else along if you want the heats split.

BTW anyone who doesn't get the emails, PM me your email address - you don't get then cos I don't have it!

I think this looks about right.

Winter Series 2011

Someone will let me know for sure if it isn't :thumbsup:

Looks best in IE, as all 3 colours show - other browsers only show in two colour (excluding the text link colourings) - perhaps Mr bbkRC will one day change the coding.

Nice one bill, think everybody will appreciate it...........as for colour wise i prefer the white and black back ground best but not complaining as its alot better than nothing at all :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

cheers :D

Spiffing Effort Bill well appreciated, thanks

Hi Bill! seeing the results in that format certainly brought back memories of results from our meetings at Nissan. Those were the days! what do you say Bill ?
Keep'em coming. See you soon.

The Old One

Hi Mal! Is everything OK ? You were a big miss on Monday night I take it you've read all the results, and what went on that night. You would probably have been in the same boat as the rest of us, struggling for the elusive "GRIP", which a few of us failed to find.
So, let us know how things are, and hurry back.
Ray.

nice to be missed Ray- dont know about being a Big miss though:woot:
think its the first night ive missed since april,
typical that the night i miss Bill pops along too:(
everythings fine mate just a bit skint at the minute so unfortunatley wont be racing as much as i would like,
see you's all soon

Mal

Ok guys your weekly chase to get your sorry selves along to TyneMet on Monday to race! - extra round for the Buggy lads this week assuming we have enough for 4 heats.
Hopefully a bit more grip this week too, guess new tyres are on the list for me.
And a quick reminder “DON’T PARK ON THE GRASS!” Use the main car park unless you have a good reason not to or are as old as or older than Ray!
Thanks to Bill for posting the link to our results on oople and also a list of “WANTED MEN”
If you’re name appears below we’re wondering where you’ve disappeared to and if you’re still alive but mainly why you’re not racing - what’s put you off?

Gary Campbell
Paul Ferris
Harry Vaulkhard
Jason Seymour

Are the ones that spring to mind!

Cheers

OK Mal! you've got what affects all of us. There's been a few who have only come to socialize, which costs nowt, you're more than welcome to do the same anytime your funds are depleted. Your company is better than a "no show".
So come along, even if just for an hour or two.
Your "old" mate Ray
