Grass will be cut 3 more times before the national and the groundkeeper has been told to cut it putting green short for the event.

Gates open at 12pm Friday.

Generators off at 11

Nitro track is open for any one wanting a play.

Electric is there for race control

OK as fare as the site goes what facilities are there IE toilets /washrooms /showers etc,
and whats the track surface

Is the track actually built yet?

From the impression i get its a undulating (sp) piece of grass that hoses/markings will be laid upon (like Oz). Or is it something more permanent?

I believe your right, jumps are being built though.

The postcode, off the Multimap site, is NP4 7RJ

288 mile, 5 hours 17 mins. Fantastic i cant wait:cry:

124 miles, it's almost close for me :lol:

189 miles for us so i hope some one local from the club can post details on here as to track and facilities

20 miles and I will be there!!!! woooohoooo!!!!

Grass, driving range, large banks to be used and jumps being built.

I know there is a great cafe on site, and would hope the track owner will supply porta-loo's too

one request

mow mow mow mow mow that grass, save Danny a job.

10th scale cars need 10th scale grass

moring campers

post code is right
bogs yes
place for lion o to do his hair and fangs yes
cafe yes
track- grass flat but with jumps x3 with down ramps , one table top, one tripple one whoops section and curved bankings
rostrum 7ft high
track markings blue

Going to have to practice jumping.:D

cheers milzy
lion 0 has been scalped mate,no main left fangs yes

can the missus not help you out on that one spence lol:wub

Grass is cut as flat as the putting green, so dont worry

Cool it will be like astro but alive :lol:

can we have downramps that are twice as long as the take off ramps please?

down ramps are 8ft on the table top( clearable) and bigger kick jump.
both have a 8ft gap as well.

i think the smaller two kick jupms have somthing around 4-5 ft down ramps but i dont have the designs on me today , can confirm this tommorow

tripple has the smaller down ramp at the final section but a bigger middle down ramp

sounds damn good to me milzy will be looking forward to it :thumbsup:

and only 231 miles so practically next door :woot:

Millzy,

Is the access to the track ok heard rumours that it is a bit dodgy yesterday and are the jumps hard to master like Oz, cos like spence I was crap yesterday although most people struggled.

My problem was consistancy a couple of times a race I hit the doen ramp on the tripple bob on but the rest was as random as a badger.:lol:

No pobs in that area mate. (well thats what she tells me):blush:

I didn’t find them to much of a problem on the triples, except for the interference I got every lap coming up to it !!! I normally struggle on jumps but found these to be ok unless you took it on the outside in which case it just went straigtht up !!!.:lol:

Anyway back on topic

no access is fine,

off the main road you will see a big sign for the golf course, and the a dirt road to the right, stay on that up to the golf house( you go around a rfc club house ) once at the golf house follow the path to the right and this will lead you onto the golf range, it was boggy on the first part into the rage thanks to the freek down pore on friday but nothing to worry about.

The jumps are very easy to clear and land on the down ramps, you dont need full power as most have a S or apex after the down ramp and the the up ramps provide enought air for the gaps with out going into health and safty hights

no pics im sorry as we only ran a jump test day on the weekend and every thing was a mock up of the real jumps, thursday of the national will be the only time pics will be available.

52.05 miles, about 1 hours 15 mins :D Happy days, be there in like 40mins using golf speed!!! That's the closest track to me ever, it's almost 'local'.

Millzy is this your local track then? Hope to see you there, chuffed to discover its so close, that's a result.

Was well worried yesterday when my tom tom said I'd be home at 11:30pm (when leaving Oz at 6ish), luckly all the traffic jams it was predicting had gone when I got to them, was home at 9:30, would not have been happy with 5 1/2 hours drive, don't think golf could have taken it.

Bring on the Talywainiinleyleinywaintallywiner event, going to be ace I'm sure!

no its not my local, the only time ive ran there was back in 06 and that was a test day with the nitro car on the nitro track

wich ive been told you can all go play on after the meeting :):)

im sure that will put a smile on Trickys face

It is the best 'local' track we got, be a good meeting though

bloody brilliant meeting boyo

Are J82's allowed?! :D

Could put a big grin on jonathans face too;)

That was one spot where I got interference in 4WD!

Had it both days - only common item was transmitter. Cured it with 2.4GHz though.

I dont think we were the only ones...

I had strange goings on with 2.4 all day at rondom places on the track too:cry:. Changed everything and still had the same problem in the final. Never mind, she'll be sorted for tally:D

395 mi – about 6 hours 43 mins - can't wait :cry:

Are there any pics from a previous meeting? or will this be the first :S :P

Hope we get the weather that you had when you took pics of the 8th track, looks nice :D

There are pics from a Nitro meeting, that used diffent jumps and a track desinged by a Matt who runs the club and Golf house and used there 8th nitro jumps

We will be the frist to run 10th electic on the grass, and all the jumps have been desinged for 10th racing by me for this event and we will be the frist to use them.

hope this helps dude

www.nitrotrucks.com its under Photo gallery, and the meeting dated 26 Aug 2007 held there shows more of the banking and hump we will use. but NOTHING else we we be used( apart from the grass and rostrum duh)

Glad where not racing there :)

want taly was it?

Im assuming that the tracks not going to be HUGE. There are plenty of people that i think would agree that lap times in the order of 25 seconds are about right anything else and it starts to get a bit big. :D location seems alright tho and the grass seems to hold up alright, so fingers crossed it should be alright.

Im assuming that the jumps will have a bit "more" effort for the national ;)

did you not read my post that all the jumps are new for the national and designed by me, there all curved kick ups with down ramps and center sections or gaps if you will.

there not random bits of wood put over random things to make an up ramp, Chippys have been given the designs , mock ups have been made and tested its all cool dont worry about it :):) This is a national and ive been racing at natinal level for over 10years so i know that effort is key.

please remeber this is the frist national the club will put on, errors may happen but we can learn from them any pop there ugly heads up

And no its not going to be huge we have set a maxiumum time for a few f2s (who are not racing)to lap the track in and obviously the A final boys will beat that lap time with out setting to low of a time

Just cross your fingers for the weather, track will be ace.
