Looks like full RRP is £9, I've contacted Adam, maybe he can do some sort of deal, hopefully thru Peter.

G, can you run all this past Phil, it's important he thinks it's a good idea.

The vintage class was agreed at the York AGM, and it was Phil who suggested the 20t HPI motors.

What else do I have to ask him?

I know this is going to be a championship, but the main thing is to have fun.

Unlike nats next year, we'll allow you to 'cut & shut' tyres to fit your rims Jimmy! :D

Not sure if anyone saw the "brass beast" run at batley, but it was the most fun bit of racing ive had. that was part rough rider / part kyosho scorpion. weighed a ton, handled crap and was generally total rubbish.. but what a laugh.

Happy with a mere £9 motor outlay, now to sort out equally cheap tyres! 2" Mardave spikes at about £10 the set?

Edit: Just looked at the York calendar and I can't make the first Vintage meeting, at a 30th birthday do :( Guess I may just run the Cobra in the NE winter series instead :D

Can haggis be cooked on a 2 ring stove on the moors?

WHITTLER555 10-10-2006 08:01 PM

Probably not! Best just sticking with soup and the Northern delicacy of beanz and sosidges!

Northy 10-10-2006 08:04 PM

My Daddy says he's interested...

But is a Tamiya Madcap old enough... or a Bosscat? I said no to the Bosscat? But the Madcap?

Northy 11-10-2006 07:13 AM

Both would be fine Emz, you can both race :D

I wonder if we could have a way of making it EVEN MORE balanced, and have weight handicaps for better cars.
you know, a 1990 rc10 with long arms is always gonna be lightyears ahead of a tamiya frog. So, I wonder if there could be a way of balancing things out, or is that stupid ?
All the cars having the same motor is good of course, just an idea I though i'd thow out there.

I fancy a tamiya lunchbox to race, haha.

LOL! my cousin had one. the others would need to tow a trailer of lead to make the race equal!!

Bosscat. awesome. possibly my favourite ever car. all shiny carbon fibre and the fact i lapped the club champion (current top 10 national rallycross driver) at my first ever meeting with it!

i wish i lived up your way as this series will be great fun. :(

We should be able to do this - I think we'll be able to agree amongst ourselves on the night.
When I ran the XX at York I really enjoyed having a lap start on Stu Mahon & Danny - trying to keep ahead of them for as long as poss.

WHITTLER555 11-10-2006 04:17 PM

I know what you mean Jimmy, Frog v RC10, I think most of us are doing it for fun so we could start the better cars off like we did with the driver formulas at the Interclub?

what da ya think??
