Next meeting can someone please lie at the end of the straight while I go at it at full throttle a few times to get the hang of it :D . Any volenteers ?:cool:

that is exactly what i was thinking, you could just glance off the gutter but still be less impact for when you smash into it i.e when a osmeone twats into back of you. (which seems to happen to me often:eh?: )

Please can someone let me know where I can buy a rubber mug.
I need one NOW.

I think it'd suit you. :)

I know all the theory about this: either brake or start you turn in on the carpet (using the outside line or furthest away form the rostrum) This means that you are either going a bit slower or have already made the most impottant part of the turn (when the most "G" force occurs as the carchanges initial direction) while traction is good. Then it's just a case of easing the car round the corner with both throttle and steering.
But that's in theory! While most of the time I can put this off, if I'm in a battle for a place or get a bit over-excited then every bit of basic driving knolege goes out of the window and then I'm quite capable of driving like a t*$t and hitting every wall aroung the track:)

lmfao

Without wanting to knock anyone, york's track from sat night epitimises why having too much foam around can be a bad thing. It kept moving about and being dragged onto the racing line and seemingly marshals not that bothered about putting it back.

It did my head in anyway! as anyone in my 3rd qualifyer will have hear when I went round the inside of vermin on the slippy corner on the right hand side, only to be taken out by some bloody foam :( That slippy corner was ace though!

Yeh, and the black foam randomly appeared infront of Tom Cockerill on the straight. It must have come from somewhere but nobody put it back.

I'll mention it at the commitee meeting tonight guys :mad:

I'm with Dan - that track was awesome with the straight through the centre, but the foam was a burden (and not really needed at all) I believe the point of it was for the 540 class as the driving there can be a touch erratic at times, ie it prevented head on collisions. We should really hae moved it for our races, I think

the foam on saturday night at the end of the straight really did get in the way in the races, but it saved my cars life. :p

in practice my X-6 got interference and shot off at full speed in2 the wall. luckily the foam was there to flip my car over, so only the back hinge pin brace broke. if it hadnt been there, i wud of hit the wall head on at about 30 mph. probably wud of snapped my chassis or nose piece :wtf:

im still with yoo dan and col, it does get in the way.:)

just realised yoo meant the foam on the chicane, just before the sweeping corner :o

yes, that is a pain, my car got caught on it a couple if times,

i agree with col that it shud be taken out for the faster lads

No, it should be made so that it doesn't move. :mad:

G

someone buy a couple of sticks of prit stciks!!! and get gluing;)

Yo! Northy
