Saturday 2WD
 

Hi,

Just wondering what time track opens for practice and when racing starts.

Thanks
Paul

Paul all the info is here
http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93048

What I would say is that the previous events this year have been "open practice" so it is a little more relaxed

Hope this helps,

camping
 

hi paul
will be camping friday and saturday night

Do we need to bring Power boats or canoes just in case we need to get to the rostrum from our tents?

Does this mean we get a welcome coffee like last time?

Hi Vincent,
Need to talk nicely to the wife for that, but I think something can be arranged. Looks like the weather is going to be the same as we have had in France the previous two weeks. Never mind we had a good time there so I cannot see we are going to be any less happy in Gateshead.

:thumbsup:

Gateshead and France.......now thats a leveller!!

Hi .I will be camping friday and saturday nights

Waterproofing?
 

Are you guys waterproofing your cars?

I have an x6 with the nimh holes in chassis aswell as holes cut in the shell.

Should I be taking some precautions? Thanks in advance.

Gaffa tape :)

:) They need it then? Was thinking of putting the reciever inside a balloon too, dont fancy destroying that...

Does anyone know what the track surface is. Are we looking at Astro or Grass?

its a deep pile astro, I was getting lots of grip roll on new mini spikes when I went up. Almost worn out ones worked best (was dry though...)

Think I've just answered my own question. Have just seen some pictures that were posted on Oople. Astro

Well done to Craig Collinson on his domination today at Dynamix!

Greg seemed to be just as quick however had a few bits of hard lines from what I saw.

All credit to wet feet Paul for finally getting a regional to take place at Dynamix and thanks for keep on plugging away at the track.

With a few small tweaks I think that the track can only get better. The double jump in the middle really needs to be made into a larger tabletop as a few people including myself struggled today in the wet. Doing the single-single just wasn't right to do as the first jump spits you far too high!

Maybe a few small water traps need to be installed to allow really quick drainage of the track in the areas that flooded today. The rain that came down was enough to stop racing on any track though but if it's easy to do then why not?

Really hope this isn't took as me being rude or not appreciating the work that has gone in but just a few thoughts.
Its great to have a track in the north east so let's hope it keeps improving! I will try my best to be about if things need to be done at the track.

Well done to Mike West for running the meeting well and sorting the few problems out on the rostrum etc out!

Can somebody stick the results up or give them to Bill to do please?

I took some video of the 2wd b/a final and all 4 finals of the 4wd.

If you can post the results as stated by chris I will load up the vids on to youtube.

Thanks to all the Longbenton car club team and the guys at Dynamix for the hard work running the meeting and building the track.

:thumbsup:

results of 2WD at TRCC results site.

Thanks to the crew at Dynamix for a great weekends racing, thought the rain was going to spoil it for a while but it turned out ok in the end :thumbsup:
I hope the support for this new venue grows and makes the track and facilities better for the future.. It's been a long time since we've had a permanent track in this area so well done for getting it off the ground :thumbsup:

Thanks to everyone involved @ Dynamix, with special thanks to Paul W and Mike W for running a great meeting.

Like Jeff says 2 posts up, this is a great venue with great potential. Really enjoyed 4WD, just a pity my car didn't move from the grid in the final.

Regional
 

Just a quick thank you to all the racers from the this weekends regional. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves even though the weather wasn't what we all wanted.

A big credit must go all the helpers prior to the meeting for all their hard work over the past few months to get the track ready. Also a very big thank you to all ther racers that helped on Sunday clearing the water off the track and allowing us to carry on racing.

Thank you to Stuart Craig for running race control on Saturday.

Hopefully we can do the same next year.

We have a couple of requests to do an intercut series so watch this space.

See you all at teesside.

Mike

Well done to everyone involved at making the meeting happen:thumbsup:
The track is good and as Chris says a couple of changes can only make it better. I also think the double will be better as a table top. So keep up the good work.

I have to say that it was great to see everyone helping to get the track drained so we could get the last round and finals in awesome :thumbsup:

Kash

Do we have the 4WD Results?

I am busy with the videos and want to update the descriptions as with the 2wd to state the results of the top 3 drivers.

Collinson, Lawson, Williams.

Great to hear everyone had a good weekend and all the positive comments about the venue - could almost make me considering buying a buggy!
Just a quick note really - Longbenton is no longer - we are now NRCR @ Tynemet College on a monday night. Wouldn't want anyone thinking Longbenton still runs on thursdays and wasting their time turning up!

Totally echo what's been said above, props to Mike & the rest of the team, it's a really good venue taking into account how much work has been done on the track in such a short space of time :thumbsup:

Also like to say thanks to Steve, Jeff & Dave for all the help they gave me on the sunday morning with the motor issues :)

Regional
 

Ladies and gents
firstly i would like to thank all the helping hands who supported the club in getting the track ready and during the weekend a real big thank you from the team @ dynamix.
It was great how every one pulled together to ensue the rain didn’t stop the meeting, and to have the constructive positive feed back by both the
guys who attended on both days and also the campers / caravaners.

As mentioned it is a fledgling club / track and with your support the track can develop and improve. Hope to have you all back trackside soon as we are working on a couple of large events during the summer.
see you all at Teesside

once a thank you
Paul Carr Dynamix Raceway

Totally agree with what Mike has said here and would just like to add my own thanks to everyone involved at the meeting, a job well done:)

No problem with the help Mike, anytime mate;) we got it going in the end:thumbsup:

Well I loved it, the track is definitely a good basis to build on. The double definitely needs to be a table top so your not forced to try and clear it in one.

Drainage would go next on the list after the tabe top. Due to the ground the track is on its going to be a headache, other than that very good start to what has the potential to be right up there with the other permanent tracks in the Regional series. :thumbsup:

Have the results been published anywhere? Would be nice to see them before we go to Teeside for their Regional comp?!!

Heard Bill is doing them, though maybe a rumour. Would be nice if we knew who is meant to be doing it

As per last round of the regionals - I can (and will) publish any results IF SOMEONE WOULD CARE TO SEND ME A COPY OF THE DATABASE. :thumbsup:

Till then, not a lot I can do. :(

Who do we need to ask for the database then I will send them to Bill 'legend' Allison!:thumbsup:
