Rain Forecast for Broxtowe!
 

Whats the plan if its raining Sunday Guys?Its is forecast for rain.Can we trust the forecast!
Dont fancy a waisted drive will you post on sat if its going to be canceled as also fancied going up Saturday for a practise and its also forecast rain.

wear a hat :woot:

Track is fine and good in the rain so will be open sat and sun. :thumbsup:

seriously though as far as broxtowe are concerned if people want to run then we'll run.
the track doesn't flood and gives good grip when wet.
it would be down to the championship organisers to call it.
we'll be there
cheers andy

Blutack + Balloons + Coat = Race...

:D

Get a grip!, races can still be run in the wet and sploshy stuff!!!!! Man Up!

A pink waterproof one!

Broxtowe is an awesome track, wet or dry... its even very good in the frost!

Had meetings there where it has rained non stop start to finish and the racing went on and was good.

It certainly handles the rain better than Coventry did and you lot voted to carry on and then finish early when the rain stopped and it was drying?!!!

:thumbsup:

Thats the spirit!

balloons is a bit posh... i use a gaffa tape and carrier bag underbody... blue peter stylee!

Does the track drain well?

Rick Dean and I are travelling from the Southport area for our first SC National (woop woop!!!) and we're used to the wet stuff, albeit with buggies - bring it on. :D

No need to worry about the track draining, it can rain all day without any sign of standing water.

I'd do the Blue Peter thing only if I had an adult to help me.

My rule is it's only too wet to race if my truck is floating ;-)

Theres always one isnt there!
Simply asking if racing goes ahead when raining thanks to others i got my answer.

Im with niel and his comment, just get a sheet blue tak

Defo going to be the most challenging National for 2wd so far! Cant wait! :thumbsup:

Will be with all the 'guest' competitors with home advantage at this one... time for some proper 'rubbin is racing' :thumbsup:

Even big Russ is coming for a play :woot:

Get the feeling we need Ref's at this one!

I race SCT at broxtowe when peed it down all day at one of the winter series rounds. I had no problems all day and my Schumacher Blues were gripping fine. Got some silvers to try for this weekend :thumbsup:

your to late Rob, johns already been tire testing in the rain.:woot:

So have I.... Just not at Broxtowe :p

you should be grateful... why do you think Schuey Silvers were released? Maybe we took action after skidding around at Coventry :thumbsup:

You worn down the only set of dBoots Multibytes in existance yet Wes?

Yellow or blue minispikes for the wet?

Erm... Silver Minispikes for the wet!

What do people use to waterproof there truck? Is there a underbody or summat I can get for my X2c before the weekend?

Will an x2c buggy shell fit under Dan ?

Dont think so pal. The chassis is too long I think.

G speed lexan inc ?? lol

haha, gud thinking but dont think he cud knock one up by the weekend!

I don't have any silver that's why I asked between blue and yellow

Neither very well, which is why we tested Silvers and got them released

You may be ok as Broxtowe has a lot of grip in the wet due to the type of astro... but you won't keep up with those using Silver Minispikes.

Ring Lewis at A1 Hobbies... think he had an underbody in for the Ansmann truck, there was a used SC10 one kicking around in there that might fit.

Or just do what i do... cut the bottom of a carrier bag,slide it over front end so it wraps chassis and gaffa tape it round :thumbsup:

At least you can still get to the power switch easily... by soft feel!

Can't get one for my slimfast chassis so gonna have to book a moulding session at G-Speed INC :thumbsup:

You worn down the only set of dBoots Multibytes in existance yet Wes?
Surely if they did exist that would be a foolish thing to do:thumbsup:

Doesn't anyone use kourse kings anymore? What about nanobytes? Don't want to she'll out on tyres for a one-off.

Didn't seem to have any problems at last round wih kourse kings:thumbsup:

BUGGER, I only bought my Sch Yellows two weeks ago for this event! I did not know their were Silvers on the way!

Oh well I got all day Saturday for tire testing. I must remember my rubber duck :woot:

I will be their early Saturday so see you all their!

LOVE IT!!!! thats why i bought an sc truck for the rubbin proper racing:thumbsup: all the fanny's say it encourages bashin:confused: can't wait for the weekend come on the sc's.
