Not so true i think Ballisitic are the better tyre i ran them in 2wd at Kiddy national nad i also ran a set of achumachers round one and Ballistics had alot more grip. Andit seem neil agree's.

For 4WD I'm pretty confident the majority of the Regional A-final will be on Sch. Yellow's if the weather stays dry.

Looking beyond the Regional, I think the GRP tyre will be well worth a try at the Winter Series :D

DaveG28 20-09-2007 11:39 AM

Hi guys,

Will the winter series be open on tyres then?

Also, do we have ay dates yet etc?

_sleigh_ 20-09-2007 11:43 AM

Yes, as far as I know the Winter Series will be "open tyre"

As for dates, I'm waiting for full confirmation on the dates I've seen, as I have an "issue" with one of them.

_sleigh_ 22-09-2007 06:05 AM

BUMP!!!!!!

If you get really desperate, I'll bring my Optima along if someone will lend me some cells. :D



I'm half joking of course. I'd love to race, but a) I wouldn't be at all competitive and b) I don't have time to re-build it to get it running properly. Last time I looked at it, three of the 4 shocks were empty amongst other things...

trekkerkk 22-09-2007 06:42 AM

hi sleigh
did you get nathan ralls and my entrys ok,
(weve scored in another region)

_sleigh_ 22-09-2007 03:56 PM

trekkerkk 22-09-2007 04:51 PM

Time for the awkward question....

As we have another changeable week weather wise, is there any chance of a track udate later this week to see what it is like, and then letting us know if it is getting chucked on with rain from then??

Worked really well last time, I had plenty of notice of how things were looking etc, it was nice being able to log on here and see the state of play!

_sleigh_ 24-09-2007 12:55 PM

If the wet weather continues over the next few days, then I will do a track update on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Looking at the MetCheck forecast last night the weekend looks dry, just a little cold.

ashleyb4 24-09-2007 01:04 PM

I hope it dry i like grip. I know there aint much round kiddy but what there is i like.

ashleyb4 24-09-2007 01:51 PM

As it is a Fuji, it probably takes XD cards? If it takes compact flash or SD I'd be happy to lend you a card if promise to post it back to me when you are done.

ashleyb4 27-09-2007 03:15 PM

It takes xd thanks for the offer vintage racer but its cool may see if i can steel my sisters laptop so if i need ill just copy pics onto her laptop.

ashleyb4 30-09-2007 06:56 PM

mid-west A final cars look a whole lot different than they did a few months ago!

VintageRacer 01-10-2007 06:44 PM

Some nice pics there Ash. Your favorite is also mine, you've captured the action well and the car is sharply focused where it needs to be but with blurred tyres to show the movement (shame about the marshal's knee in the background). If you can remember the shutter speed you used, use it again.

I was surprised to see you needed (or chose) to use flash. I would have thought it would have been bright enough without.

ashleyb4 01-10-2007 07:28 PM

I set it to auto flash and the camera said it needed it so i let it use it.

Im a little diaspointed about not getting my f4 i think im in a very tough region to get it.
