The hectic nature of racing at TM is one of the reasons I haven't been back, hardly time to alter the spring/ride height between races never mind actually fix something or change the tyres/wheels. (the other main reason is Monday is not a good day for me, but that's my problem, no one else's).
How anyone could race here themselves AND coach a kid to race is beyond me.

With the increased attendance, increased income, is it possible to extend the evening (at either end) without going over budget, to race longer and enjoy the 'leisure' activity a little more.?
Exactly as you say there's always someone who doesn't seem to get the element of humour unless it's fully explained :D

Those old Johnny Mercer Lyrics keep on flooding back..
Take it away Bing

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene

not wishing to be too patronising..

On staggered starts, yes I fully u derstand how they work, the problem is that while I spent six laps on monday virtually pushing Gary around the track I couldn't pass him. So he won the heat. Had I started. Second behind him I'd have won even tho I couldn't pass and finished behind him. It detracts from the ra ing when it's really close. And Peter, there is NO late fee???? Always said I'd rather people skip setup or tidyup when there's a genuine reason like finishing work late or leaving early for nightshift than them not race at all so get your self along next time late or not. Ok tired of typing on my phone now.
Mark (club dictator) ;-)
lol i know theres no late fee lol, last monday was a combination of wife finishing work late and myself starting work at 2am tuesday so decided a little bit of sleep was more important, i havnt been a member of club long but from what i have seen mark is an excellent chief, i also will go along with anythink mark tries at the club with no complaints from me, you cant keep everyone happy mark but u try your best mate and im very happy coming to your very well run club on mondays:thumbsup:

If you need any build assistance either drop it off at TyneMet, or PM me where we can pick it up with the parts, and we will complete it for you:thumbsup:

Busy building a New Boxed B44 for another (as yet to attend) TyneMet Member, so one more will be no problem, glad to be able to offer any assistance as it can be a little bewildering even when you have been 'in the game' a while never mind when all is a new experience:thumbsup:

Finished a race at last
 
A good night racing and I even managed to finish 3 races and didn't come last
Keep up the good work and see you next week

Sumilidon 03-10-2011 10:34 PM
I finished 3 out of 4, and one of those didn't look too bad! Good night of racing, time to crack out the buggies at last

FastWheels 03-10-2011 10:59 PM
Brill to watch the 'A' in both Buggies & TC almost a Photo finish in both, racing right down to the wire sensational finishes!!

hazzelarator 04-10-2011 01:04 AM
Gutted I couldnt make it tonite. Work Shit but hey ho. Did Jeremy attend? sounds like a goods night racing. Im going to have to fix this TC 'Rocket' (loosely used) that I have built otherwise its a revert to the 1994 model lol. If ya cant master it sell it always been my motto lol

Rather not Nev, I thing the huge number of posts makes people look at it. We just need to stop the "chat" between members which doesn't really involve the club as a whole.
Anyway, yes a good night racing last night with 18 cars 9TC & 9 Buggy split into 4 heats, 5 & 4 for both classes with a whole bunch of new and fairly new faces :thumbsup: (4 heats Bill - 10 mins between marshalling & racing - get yourself back)
Still no staggered start tho and I aim to keep it that way as long as I can:)
3 rounds and a final for everyone. Some very close racing and less than a second between first and second in both Buggy & TC A finals, Paul Hindson winning the buggy and Nev pipping me to the TC win.
Lets get more there at 7 next week and see if we can get started racing eariler!
