TORCH Winter Series Round 3 Supported by X-Factory UK - 27th Jan
 

Don’t forget Round 3 of the TORCH Winter series supported by X-Factory UK is on 27th January.

This is an all day meeting and run on control tyres – Ballistic Buggy tyres on driven axles. Think most have found Greens in the wet/damp and whites in the dry have worked really well.

4 qualifiers and one final for all. No trophies on the day but end of series trophies for top 10 in each class plus a big raffle supported by X-Factory UK at the last meeting.

No need to pre-book just turn up on the day.

Track should be open from around 8.00am for free practice.

Everyone should have had a chance to get their Christmas presents build and ready by then so get yourselves down to our first all day meeting of 2013.

Hopefully a return to racing this weekend with the 3rd Round of the X-Factory UK Winter Series.

Gutted I can't make it this weekend.

James.

No you're not mate :p - can always swap!

Will the lay out be changed before this meeting?

Hi Jay

There were plans to make some changes but now looking unlikely due to weather.

Cheers

Rob

To distract us from the heated Monty Pythonesque discussion about PT's who's racing Sunday? My first race this year and a new car to break :D

Weather looks to be improving too which is a bonus...:thumbsup:

I will be there mush!

Count me in. Just trying to decide between 2wd or 4wd.
Getting to like the RB6 so might just move in that direction.
Got on quite well with it in the wet the other week. Hm!! Well see.

Hopefully down

It's not affecting tomorrow, but have a read etc. People deciding to fill this thread full of debate and so forth will just have the post removed.

See you in the morning.

RB6 or FS2 mmmm. Poss FS2 as I haven't raced 4WD since 2012 regional at DMS! Unless you class a round at the GP...

FYI the layout has been changed.

woohoo
 

All lipos charged and the K1 ready and waiting. Weather looks to be dry all day after the nites rain. Hope the drainage is working well lol....

See you all in the AM................................:thumbsup:

Oh Mikey - Do you not know it takes time for the older people to remember where to go!!
LOL

I need to remind myself how to turn on a car and what a transmitter is!

my Christmas racing destroyed confidence so this is my first visit to a track since 51 :cry:

Ace , looking forward to it

Thanks to all those that attended the club today, results will be posted probably tomorrow night, as I'm off to the pub :p

Congrats to the winners

2WD - Stephen Brown - Kyosho RB6

4WD - Jamie Kerr - Xray XB4

Great battles around the track and roll on the the next one. Fingers crossed the wet stuff will stop and we can actually have a meeting without a full strip of the cars.

Thanks Mikey and co , we had a fun day :)

Thanks to torch team for another top meeting even in the wet,made all the better for me making the A final
Cheers Chris

Thanks to all those that made this event happen, oh!!! loved the track layout :woot:

Top job lads

Little report on my day here

www.tonyevdoka.com

Catch up soon

Thank you to everyone that made racing possible yesterday. The track looked more like a lake when I arrived. Cannot believe how well it drove throughout the day. Big pat on the back to all the commitee for once again showing why TORCH shines so 'bright' in our wonderful hobby. Well done guys.

Yeah top job guys on the work and effort put in to get the track running!

Was a great day, and nice to top it off with a TQ and Win.. and some great racing in the 4WD heat 5 and A final. Was some great racing and everyone made sure they raced fair, and keep on eye on lapping cars too= Made for some fun and close racing!

Liked the new layout very fast and flowing very enjoyable to drive,my only thought would be to add another feature to break up some of the flat out parts?
But considering the time frame you guys did a great job on it! Made the racing closest I have seen it in a while!

Thanks again to the guys for a fun days racing, and unlucky Dave in the final:yawn: rotten luck! P.S. Well done TONY!!! :woot::D

Cheers Jamie, and well done mate. You we on it with that XB4 :)

Thanks to TORCH for running a great meeting and working so hard to make the track safe to use after all that rain. In the good ole days the track would of been knee deep in water and closed for weeks!

Any sign of the results please.:woot:

Once BBK / laptop fixed

Why do so many clubs have problems with BBK software is it rubbish?
Are there alternatives?

BBK not the prob, just other aspects. Either way all in hand, but will take me a little while to sort.

I knew I should have got that memory stick to the laptop as soon as possible at the end of the meeting. Oh well maybe next time.
