Track for Sunday
 

Alright lads,

At this stage I am not going to make it to Oldham this weekend so will be unable to design the track for this round. Just thought i'd give you a heads up as I said I would design another track for the next round.


Chris

Oh dear, hope people turn up early then :(
If no one wants to build a track, ill do a similar one to what we used last time, but reversed and change up the features.

Me Either, Have fun!

The problem is usually that everyone wants to design their own track...

I believe Stu will be coming so, if he's there early you can be pretty sure he'll come up with a decent track.

Thank god for that!

Guys, Don't just rely on Stu, He's effectively a visitor at the track.
Would you guys go to Batley and be expected to design the track? Think not...

Don't just expect him to do it.

I put a lot of effort into designing track, Although you can never please 100% of people, I just got sick of people moaning.

So I'm sure one of the other committee members will sort it :lol::lol:

They weren't moaning last meeting......

Thats fine, I wont be bothering with the track in future.

If Stu doesnt want to design something, i'll do it, it's not that hard really.

Matt, i dont see anyone above criticising your track building abilities, dont be so over-sensitive.

I'm not being over sensitive Howler, I'm simply annoyed at people moaning about stuff, When they can't even be arsed helping out. (Not just regarding this thread, Just in general.)

I hear it all the time, Not just on the track building but general running of the club, Its annoying when I put the effort in.
Its getting to the point coming to Bury to race will eventually lead to me hating racing!

Hence why I have not been for the last 2 meetings!

Maybe i'm missing something, because i dont see anyone moaning above...

On another note... i know bringing the big tabletop to the indoor track has been discussed... but what about bringing some of the hose? I know its heavy, but seems to me that it would stay put a lot better than the drainpipe because of that weight. Not that i could even bring a single piece on my bike...

Again, Not relating to the above...

I'd like to moan about the fact that Matt's had my RC10 since the Oople race and I've still not got it back.
And moan about the fact that one of the reasons for him still having said RC10 is that hes only been to 2 meeting I've been to since then.
And moan about the fact he missed our last meeting to go swanning off running smelly nitros
And that he's generally a complete ****

Does that help Matt?

And he's had me moaning at him for an undertray I gave him to paint when we were still indoors last year :confused:
Who else has been moaning at him ... Fess up lol

Anyway
 

To get back on topic, here's a track:

My mums been moaning at me all week!

She's been moaning at me all week too the dirty b**** :p

if i turn up in time for set up
are ya gonna let me have a go at building a wallride , reckon i worked out how to do it at last meeting with the stuff weve got
but i might need a hand setting it up
and a little bit of tape

whos up for it then

Looks a good layout Steve shame I can't make it this week as I'm at a wedding this weekend all weekend and I also i'm in between cars as I sold the 22, I'll be there on the 6th though

trac
 

that looks a great trac ill be there early to help set up:D

Well done to track builders today, really good, and a very good days racing!!
Sorry i didnt get there early to setup, too many cokes saturday night :drool:

Very good days racing and it shows how well track building/putting away works when so many people join in and we have a layout to work with.
Thanks to all and Steve for the design.
didnt hear anybody complain today about the track.
No worries Chris about helping as we know your normally the 1 who helps.

Only thing with the track was the lap was too short, 17 secs laps 10 in a heat the first 2 had gone past before the last one had even set off :cry:

Just something to think about for next time :p

Correct alan,forgot about that. :(

Brilliant track and a great days racing.

Bury always puts on a great meeting :)

Blame the designer, this one wont throw his toys out. Apparently our race controller thinks i should have built marshal points into it too.

haha yeah, i was marshalling the infield for 4wd. Think i sweated out all the beer from last night!
Its not a major problem. The track flowed very well which is why the lap times were quick

Only other problem was that it from certain parts of the rostrum you couldn't see your car behind the mats - wasn't a big deal unless as happened to me someone crashed there which I couldn't see and ran into!

The lap wasn't too short - it was too fast. The actual lap distance was really quite long and used up all the available space. Its just that most of the corners could be taken pretty quickly. A couple of slow corners would be all it takes to bump up the lap time.

Plus although it could impact on the number of rounds I think we need to limit the number in a heat to 8 max. That rostrum really isn't that big with the basketball hoop in the middle so getting 10 big blokes on there isn't easy.

great meeting today guys well done:thumbsup:

Most importantly though in todays Team Hopeless revival meeting my Redrango easily and comfortable trounced Gypsy Johnny and Scouse Mark. That was without the new Tresrey bellcranks too - with them I'll be unstoppable......

Top day for me as it happens after lenghy lay off...

Track was flowing and quick...Big thats to steve for getting me on track with help with
tranny...
As for Team Hopeless Ill give you that round as you seem to have sabatoged my servo to jam with to much epa lol.Si you have deffo up your pace with the rango good on you....

I have some ideas for a better track next time, taking yesterday's issues into consideration.

Obviously I wasn't at the meeting on Sunday but glad to hear it went well. I agree with Si re: the amount of people on the rostrum at one time. Less cars in a heat would make it less of a squeeze on the rostrum and give more space on track for qualifying which would be good for everybody. However this would impact on time, it has been nice to be running 5 qualifiers and 8 minute finals which with more heats may not be possible.
Are the results from round 3 posted anywhere yet? I'd be interested to see how everybody got on.


Chris

Results are on the website Chris.

track for Jan 6th
 

Hi Guys

Any Good ?

Btw Happy New Year For Tomorrow

That will be a very quick track, plus needs more features

im happy with that as ive just got my new dualsky esc,5.5t motor and new batts,bring on the top end speed.woooooooooosh

Got a track with a diagonal strait and a wall ride planned
Nice and technical with quick bit
Inspired by woodys old chadderton track
Hand drawn though
Not on cad yet

I like the track design but what you have to consider is we can only use strips of carpet as that's what we have, looking at that design it would be hard to follow the exact design using what we have.
Johnny's idea sounds interesting with a wall ride.
