Mikey might be bringing a new driver on Sunday who hasn't raced for 15 years and guess what he's got a Rango

Nearly another Rango heat!

Got another racer switching to 4WD (511/410)

It's going to be a good one. I'll be rolling 2WD unless something lands on the doorstep

im running 2wd as well in the same boat as mike waiting for new toy to get here :D

Raffle - People will get one raffle ticket on book in and if you want more it'll be £1 per ticket

New driver details, please email to [email protected]

Cheers :)

Good news and fingers crossed it is meant to be dry now tomorrow instead of raining bbc you better be right for once;)

Can people make sure they park nicely to make use of the limited parking space we have.

I for one will be pitting under a gazebo & sharing it with a few other TORCH racers, but parking my car away from the track.

Us nitro boys are all planning on pitting (and BBQ'ing!) together, aiming to get there early to get set up, then we can stick the cars out the way somewhere.

Fingers crossed for the weather, looking forward to running the 'Rango with a new speedo in it now Wylie's got it all soldered up for me.

G'day what time you getting there

should arrive about 7.50 to get some practice in with the new weight under the lipo to see if it does anything

Cool c u there I got the weight to try 2

Lucky you John C. Think I fried my esc last week. Took the receiver with it as well.
No show for me this time. At least I get a lie in. Will be able to watch F1 as well.
Hope the weather stays dry and you all have a good day. Half way through the year
and I have not yet had a trouble free meeting. Surely my luck must change soon.

Many thanks to those that made it today

Really enjoyed the racing today. Made a few silly mistakes but overall happy with the car. Just need to be more consistent and work on the setup.

Many thanks to all who was involved in organizing todays racing :thumbsup:

Thanks to all that run today's racing, great day racing,
well done to mr consistant Adam,James and craig. with b finals and 9 lapers they just missed the magic 10 bring on round 3 I need to catch up with Adam who's 3 points ahead!!!! It will be done .

Another great day, some great racing going on, thanks to everyone at TORCH for making it all happen. :thumbsup:

We'll be back to support the other rounds of the summer series with the shop, and seeing as Mark is 2nd and I'm 3rd in 4wd we've got some more racing to do too!

Spot on day as usual guys!
For a change had a good days qualifying made it into the A Final and then only made 1 lap in all 3 finals but there is always next time.

Great days racing and a well done to the now retired mad rat she has done me proud and proves a fifty pound kit can keep up with more expensive cars, i will from next week move onto the cougar and see if that can get me the 6 seconds i need to do ten laps i hope it does as 4x more expensive then the rat.

Well done to everyone today and had some great racing with dean and james, dean with his medal well done.

Really good day again made the trip from cornwall worth it again,and results up before i even got home

Chris. That may well be my fault. I only managed 3 laps last week.
I fear some of those Rango gremlins may still be lurking in the
Hampshire undergrowth. With any luck they have all jumped ship
from my pit box, and as I was not there they were waiting to pounce
on any unsuspecting Rango driver. Well done for making the 'A'.

Many thanks for the comments guys. Thanks to the team who help run the meeting.

I'll be back in a couple of weeks, hopefully to shake down a 4WD ready for the next regional.

I had a great day dispite the disaster of getting caught speeding on the way down the M3. I had an ok first race, destroyed the diff on the warm-up lap of race two, and missed race three while trying to rebuild a busted diff with no spares (thanks to Mikey for the c-clip). Only to return to race four and have the motor wire drop out 30 secs from the end.
These crap three races left me in the C Final (sorry to Dean and Jack as they should have won and come second if i wasn't there) I won the first two finals with a fully functioning car and crashed out of contention in final 3 and finished 7th.

This has to be a case against Round by Round, if we were running FTQ i wouldn't have taken a trophey that someone else should have won. Althought it did allow another driver to earn more points in the series. So swings and roundabouts i suppose.

Next time i hope luck will be on my side (karma or some sh*t).

Great to meet Dean again, we used to race some 20 years ago.....

See you next time (i will try and make some morning meetings too)

Neil

Cheers Neil, did you take some photos etc?

I'm planning on doing FTD on one of our standard meetings at some point just to mix it up for fun (allow the one lap wonders a better chance :p - which includes me!)

Hi mike what is ftd ???

Fastest time of the day

Cheers Brian all the clanners made it into the A Final which made it interesting !

Thanks steve
has any one got any photos of the day?

Neil Randell will hopefully supply some this week will post on the torch site soon, also oople if poss

Mike you can't change the size of the goal posts half way through the game lol anyway if the drivers want ftd we will make it happen?

Only change on non summer series. Not bothered about morning meeting format. FTD/RBR

My next meeting at torch will be round 3 of summer series.

I only got a few pics from the last final, and of course all of the trophy presentation. I will send them tonight or in the morning and post up some pics on here.

I am planning on doing an on-board movie in HD soon, just need to be able to make the cam safe on the car. I tried it in the back garden but i don't have table tops and sleeping policemen there. The cam will need to be fitted well and i'm not quite there yet........watch this space.
