b4rs 05-02-2008 03:08 PM

trust me i have tried, i went around huddersfield looking and nowhere wants anyone, then went round beginning of new year and i got the same answer. used to have a paper round, i got £8 for 40 papers a day up a huge hill, and 6 days a week, the guy wouldnt even up it to a tenner! so i quit that.

but i am looking for satdy/week evening work so if ur based in huds, im available!

£8.00 for 40 papers? That can't be short of £8.00 per hour can it? £48.00 for 6 hours work? jeez, i would have quit that too. Any one doing a paper round must be worth £10.00 per hour......:mad:

£800 a month mortgage!!! you lucky b!*tard....try £1900 a month... and only earn £5/week paper round!!!

Correction, for us young'uns if we didnt do RC our parents would be rich :woot:

Iv tried getting a job in a local model shop but they dont like me :thumbdown: lol. And the other shop gave the job to my mate, he asked over the counter and i wrote a letter and sent a CV aswell :thumbsup::confused: and the other shop is to small for more than 3 people to be in at the same time so i doubt he needs a saturday boy :(. And im not working in tesco's!

You wouldn`t, seriously, if you think of what you spend on a weekend racing it aint that much, if you weren`t racing you would be out wih your mates and spend the same.

having said that the F345`s last year cost me £700 somehow and i have no idea where it went:(:lol:

I spoke with Dianne this morning. She will load all entries onto the Computer by mid week. Once they are in, We can generate a competitor list which I will be able to load to the club website.

jimmy 09-02-2008 09:46 PM

Thanks for the update John
I'm looking forward to running at Batley again, it's been a while.

b4rs 09-02-2008 09:48 PM

xx4-nutter 09-02-2008 11:34 PM

last time it was too late, but this year got booked in early and im doing it good and proper...

2WD and 4WD !

Mike Hudson 09-02-2008 11:37 PM

Me too :) last year i was booked in to do it and then couldn't go and had to cancel my entry:(

b4rs 10-02-2008 10:30 AM

i cant wait but i need to get everything runnng properly. and be prepared for breakges, as nearly every race i manage to break something

Cockerill 10-02-2008 10:07 PM

John/Jimmy/Batley, has a decision been made on Lipo? Will we be allowed to run it?

b4rs 11-02-2008 10:26 AM

dont count me on it, but im sure it was mentioned somewhere else as a "no". but its not for definate.

lets have hope...

but it would be unfair on the non-lipo'ers as lipo does have a slight advantage, (quite a bit really isnt it).

lol, could do a 2-cell lipo race though.

No offense, but that is why I directed my comment to John/Jimmy/Batley, as they are likely to know. I don't need a 'think' or 'maybe'.

LiPo raced side-by-side at worksop perfectly fine, I think they are very comparable performance.

I'd like to know about the lipo too please, i have mine now and i want to try them, and i dont want to have to re wire my speedo AGAIN :D

Also, is it still Schumacher pins?

Ta

Col 13-02-2008 07:33 AM

Still no list of who's got in?
Had a quick look on the site, but didn't find anything

super__dan 13-02-2008 09:55 AM

Yes to Schumacher pins, you need to ask Lawson about Lipo, since last PC melt down I don'thave his email. If someone can PM it to me I'll ask as I need to ask him something else too.

footey 13-02-2008 11:17 AM

hi dan is it only pins allowed or is it they are the best as i like spikes:)

jimmy 13-02-2008 11:25 AM

Andy 2 13-02-2008 11:47 AM

Lee 13-02-2008 11:50 AM
