nice video mate shame you only perfect shot of my car going round the sweeper was when i missed the jump by sneaking up the inside :woot:

RSharpy 22-05-2008 10:04 AM

I don't know John, missing the ramp, you wouldn't catch me doing a thing like that! :woot:

Have had a thought in regards of tyre wear, there is very little tarmac on the infield (if any) but it seems to be the straight thats the killer. A question for Alan, Andy, Johno or somebody from the club who racers up at Greasly and may be in the know. Is there a old role of carpet knocking about? If we could have a role on the straight it would make the track a lot more freindly on tyres. ;)

Robbiejuk 22-05-2008 12:13 PM

Of course we could just rip up the tarmac and astroturf it all :thumbsup:

While I think about it has anybody got any pictures from the club nights that we can put up on the site?

dbizzle5 22-05-2008 02:53 PM

Felicty!! Ow Felicity!!!:wub

ianplimmer 22-05-2008 06:47 PM

if when you start your runs you dont start on the edge of the astroturf to be closer to the loop then wheelspin all the way down the start straight on the first lap is a major factor every other lap you are at half speed
if you start a bi further back it may help

RSharpy 28-05-2008 07:15 PM

John, I agree that starting further back may help a bit but think doing 20 laps just on the straight is killer enough. A role of carpet or more astro really would solve all.

And I can't help but feel if the straight was covered and if more track markings were used the track would be more than good enough to hold a regional on it. (please note this is only an opinion and not an offical word, last time I said this there were rumours going around that the regional was being held on it :lol:) Do others agree?

langers 28-05-2008 09:40 PM

one of the problems is that after there last run most drivers make a sharp exit and the astro is heavy
ill be the first to say i could do more but its a long day when you have a physical job and the idea of running the track was for the ease of set up and pack away
dont get me wrong with more astro we would have more track options and less tyre wear but its down to us to put in the effort if we want it as its the members club eg members at work parties
