Only problem ive got with the extra heat situation is that i will only ever get to run 4 rounds (3 heats, 1 final) with me being on late shift every other week when the buggies would get the extra round in :cry:

overall a good nights racing again, will be back on the 24th for my next race :)

Don't see any reason we couldn't swap weeks if it's no problem for anyone else and you're going to be a regular every 2nd week!

Well another busy night with 19 on the track making 4 heats again despite the shocking weather outside.
Nice to see Phil Haines back even if he did show me up for most of the night L
Just need to get Paul Ferris and Campbell with a P back now and I'm expecting Tony Telford back from retirement any week now as he's been along watching the past 4!
Good clean racing an improved marshalling last night with some close battles throughout the night which were great to watch.
As mentioned last night, I’m going to give the buggy’s the extra heat again next week and alternate from there on which will get one regular racer who can only make it once a fortnight on the right week for 4 rounds although if we only need to run 3 heats at any point this will change the weeks again.
Hopefuly see you all back next Monday

Don't have a clue how Moonfruit works - but your site looks a good 'un.
I'd suggest imho that you make external links open in a new tab/window as this allows users to close it when finished and easily return to viewing your site.

re results, if moonfruit accepts uploads of html files then should not be a prob with direct upload of the html created by bbk - this also saves you the effort of creating pages or links on your site as bbk does it for you.

Send me a pm with your mob no if you want to run through it. I think I said once before that I'll upload for you if someone were to send me a zip of the database each week. The first essential is to ensure every week is run as a new meeting and not over writing the previous one AND ensure that all meetings are run within the same bbk database.

P.S. - the only reason I'm not there recently is Sundays & Mondays are real busy for me of late - I'd love to be there and will be the first Monday evening I can :thumbsup:

cheapskate 22-10-2011 08:23 AM

thanks Bill, unfortunatley it doesnt seem that moonfruit accepts html which is why im having so much trouble uploading the race results,
ive tired changing the file in microsoft word and uploading it to the site but it'll only then allow to to save the file and not view it which is a bit of a chew on:thumbdown:.
If its ok with you i'll zip the files and email them to you, can you pm me your email please.
thanks for all you help mate:thumbsup:

Well another busy night last night with a nice even split of 20 drivers comprising 10 of each class. 4 heats of 5 with the buggies getting the extra round so TC's on for the 4 rounds qualifying next week.

The one thing that disappoints me every week about this RC Car club, is the way the time flies (it's sooo good), you just feel you're about to get into your stride, then that's it for another week, roll on next Monday!!!!!!!

It's just too good, keep it to yourself in case anyone else wants to attend.

Same here for me,next time will be 2 weeks :cry:

Was a funny night for me, started off in heat 4 for qualifying.............I fealt like i went backwards as i forgotten that i had changed the ESC settings and found the buggy too fast for me. I dropped the throttle EPA down and added some drag brake on the radio which helped a bit but still found that i was under steering and running wide out of the corners !!!
(think my front diff needs a rebuild :blush: )

I dropped down to heat 3 for the B final still hanging in there only to lose a wheel nut again then watch my wheel over take my buggy :woot:

Front diff rebuild and maybe a few setup changes for next time :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
