Brilliant news. Brilliant news.

I've been looking for something good to do mid-week and this will fit the bill nicely. Nice one!

I will certainly be venturing along...and I hope this becomes very popular.

Travelling from Warrington during rush our might be a problem...but I've done it before now with tourers so should be good!

Nice one.

corigated surface adds nothing 'nice' to any track for 10th off-road.

everything else sounds brilliant!

try and add in some landing ramps too, lots of satisfaction gained from hitting a nice downramp when landing a jump.

Cheers for the advice about the corigated surface!!

this is a new venture for our club so the track and its obsticles are in development. So far we have the following

Wall of death
15" Ramp
Half Moon ramp
Corner ramp

To be developed :

another half moon ramp
curved banked wall of death corner unit
Table top
Rythm Section

Its all about getting time and materials. Anybody have any ideas and we would be more than happy to try them.

So far my list of people who said they will try and attend are :

Jamie B4
Matdodd
Stan (Matdodd's friend)
ashleyb4
franki
Davidagriffinuk + Brother
RLGfx
Kopite
andy05
Jamie B4
DaveG28
Fiddybux
Myself
Matt Brown
Adrian Prince
Steve Prince
Mark Poole
Steve Parker

plus anybody else who wants to come along!!

I was at the club tonight relaying the track in preperation for the 20th. We have a nice open flowing track which we can tweek on the night if people want to make changes. I would recommend a small pinion though as their are only 2/3 parts where you are going to be at full throttle at any point and for a brief period. Over the next few weeks I might extend the wall of death by making it double the height and a little wider.

franki 06-02-2008 04:46 PM

2WD for me (B4)

I know sounds daft but I am going to be running my 6.5 brushless and my LiPo battery. Tyres are going to be worn down Schumacher Mini pins.

Gonna run my 6.5 because its the slowest motor I got, 4.5 would be WAY to fast. I should be sensible and put a 19T in it instead but I aint got one!

franki 06-02-2008 06:41 PM

Think i may go down the 19turn road until i get the hang of things again!!!!!

And will be using my x11 i think as i dont have a 2wd :-(

Fiddybux 06-02-2008 09:24 PM

I'm considering using the 5.5 brushless in the X5 and gearing down for punch, but that will just make things super hot super quick...so I reckon I'll roll with a 10x2 or maybe 13x2 in the ZX-5.

Will be running worn yellow mini pins because I'm too tight to put a new set on after the Sunday prior to the Wednesday! Plus with the 4WD grip usually isn't so much of problem.

AdrianJones 08-02-2008 09:02 AM

just got confirmation from the school I work in that I can have 20 old crash matts for the clubs new track. Their not the blue type but are foam surfaces on both side, these should provide a nice feature on the track. I got 20 of them so we have lots of options!

Sion Wedley 08-02-2008 12:23 PM

I should be able to attend ade with my b4

thats providing the wife will let me :woot:

AdrianJones 09-02-2008 09:19 AM

Just on my way to the club AGAIN all day as we are extending (IN EVERY WAY) our corner wall of death. Its gonna be huge!!!!!!!

Sion Wedley 09-02-2008 10:34 AM

Must say ade, i thoroughly enjoyed my self last night at wrexham

expecially in the finals, the jumps coming towards the rostrum were spot on and the wall of death straight after was ace

keep up the good work :thumbsup:

AdrianJones 10-02-2008 10:43 PM

Going back their tomorrow to make some fine adjustments and finishing touches but I run my B4 round this and it is truly AWSOME! take it too low and it throws your car out of the corner at high speed so you get some speed coming off the ramp. Take it high and you get a satisfying wall ride! It needs widening another section on the down ramp which I am going to do tomorrow! You guys that are coming are gonna really REALLY love this feature!!!!

AdrianJones 10-02-2008 11:51 PM

Pictures posted! ENJOY!!!!
