a date has not been set for the re-run of this meeting yet, our calender is full over the winter months

Coventry MAM 14th December !!!
 

As you may of heard on email Coventry have re-scheduled the MaM round 1 meeting to the 14th December. It will be ran alongside the 12th scale Nitros Mam. (They are only small things so nothing to worry about :)) Due to daylight and numbers we may have to cap the electrics to 50 entries, we havent hit over 50 for a while at a winter meeting but something to bare in mind if you were going to just turn up on the day without pre booking.

2wd, 4wd and 8th electric all welcome :thumbsup:

Kiddy on 11th Jan
 

How many people are planning on going to Kiddy on the 11th?

Yes. Providing that proper Charging procedures are adhered to.
Tony Meredith will provide the requirements if you ask him.

Will there be a shop there on Sunday to purchase some tyres as dom is not doing it anymore cheers

Spen.

I'll have a few bits with me, but other than that no shop.

I think it will be a good turn out on Sunday given the lack of outdoor racing recently.. see you there Spenc.

I just hope we have one of those cold sunny mornings. I think the "cold" is a given.. lets just hope for sun.

Hey Neil I am looking foreward to it first outdoor meet in months I will have to get the thermals out and my tranny muff. You may need to get all your old stocks of cells dusted off because of this lipo saddle thing LOL.

What time is racing supposed to start or the latest i can get there? as i think the roads will be a bit lairy the time i'll be leaving!

They say it is going to snow bad tomorrow as well I hope it doesnt.

Good question Griff. What time is booking in etc...?

Hopefully we will start booking in approx 08:00.
Practice - probably 08:30 ish - depending if track has been laid etc.

Times subject to alteration at organisers discretion :D

cheers stu, will book in now. Hopefully see you sunday(weather permitting):D

so with a little bit of extra help from peep's setting up it would mean more practice time!!!:)

Great days racing today. Q'd 6thin B, Finished 3rd behind Spencer and Ian.

Terrible pity about the theft of the equipment from someones car. I hope it is found.

If anone saw the birdie... here is a pic...

OMG i cant belive that I hope they catch them.

How did james car go with the lipo did you add any weight?

A

Sorry i couldn't make it guys but as belsten says, I'm a WUSS:lol:
How did the day go? you all have fun ?
Thieving gits, is nothing safe:o hope you get whatever back

Good days racing by all. I think I was the only driver running both classes (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!)

2wd
Qual 2nd Finished 3rd. Qualified with 4 2's behind Ste Lawson, can't really complain, was never on his pace but seemed to be ahead of others. Alex Hillman beat me in the final as well. It appears that the slipper went in the final, was getting no responce from the car and it was moving all over the place.

4wd
Qual 4th Finished 5th. Was good to get the CAT outdoors, so much more fun than indoor racing (no offence to Worksop or Bury Metro!) Felt like I could throw the car at the track and with a bit more time to spare then I probably could have gone faster by improving the car.

All in all a good day, run well by Stu, Paul & Tony.

Shame about the guys who had some of their kit stolen, I hope that all the efforts from the club pay off and you get your gear back. I've never known any issues running at Kiddy before and I've been going there for the last 10 years at least

I was running both classes Andrew it was a bit of a rush and I couldnt concentrate on one car. It felt so good to be out in the open air doing proper racing. First time outdoor with the car I won at Bury (B max) on a very slippery track it was excellent would have got into the A I think if it wasnt for two costly mistakes in the last two rounds whick took the marshalls over ten seconds to get to me (understandable as the track was very slippy to marshall on).
The 2WD was another story I dont think the X6 is anywhere near as good with Lipo than it is with NIMH but that might be my setup which needs sorting. I noticed today that the rear engined cars where handling the greasy conditions alot better than the mid motor cars(X6s). Well thanks to the Kiddy club for a good meeting and I hope the missing eqiupment turns up and thanks Brian P for the help with the speedo.

An excellent meeting and run spot on as always!

I really enjoyed the track layout and it was just the challenge I wanted with a 2wd car ...... a great day!!

Coventry
 

Is there anyway of telling if this will be held this weekend cos according to the weather it is not good at all with heavy rain - Any chance that we could know on Saturday night or delay Sunday until later so we dont have to get down there to find its a wash out again. Problem I have is that it takes me 2 hours to get there which is alot of petrol and time to find out its off.

ditto

If I hear anything prior to the event regarding cancellation I will of course let everyone know. On the day if you have my mobile num feel free to call, I'll be up early, I live aprox. an hour away myself mind you but I can give you a rough indication of what the weather is like.
