Summer Wednesday Evening Practice Sessions
 

That is fantastic news. I, as well as others have wanted this for a couple of years.
Many thanks to the committee for organising this. I am and always have been fully aware of the issues involved with trying to set this up, so am more than grateful for the opportunity.
I will be there. Just hope the weather is also.
Thanks guys.

Sam

Robin

I'd be up for some Wednesday evening practice, I haven't been down since December so I need all the track time I can get:blush:

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

This is great news, many thanks Guys, Im a definite :thumbsup::woot::lol:

Weather is looking a bit iffy for tomorrow night, is this still on?

Yes, weather not looking good for tomorrow:mad:

Really do not want to cancel it after so much interest shown but also do not want people to travel and cancel at last minute.

Think probably probably the best I can suggest is I leave it until tomorrow lunchtime and make a call based on latest forecast then. To be honest I am not optimistic based on current forecast but they been known to get it completely wrong.

If cancelled I'll try and find an alternative date.


Rob

The forecast this morning showed rain from early afternoon onwards :mad::mad::blush:

Session postponed until next week Wed 19th June.

Had an excellent evening's practice tonight, plenty of other drivers to dice with and I changed more on the car and tried more things than I would have dared to on a race day.

Shame about the timing gear not turning up, hope it's there next time but nonetheless I feel sure I improved the car as regular A finalist Dibble (thanks for the advice re shock oils) said we were lapping at about the same pace at one point:woot:

Also thanks to Steve B for the advice on springs-we'll see if it makes an improvement on Sunday.

Only bad point was my El Cheapo Fastrax wheel:thumbdown: (fitted with a freshly glued cut stagger which seemed to hugely improve the on-power steering) smashing like a piece of bone china after 3 laps. Remember, if you're having tea with the queen, get some Fastrax wheels but if you're going racing, you really need Kyosho ones.

I've been away unfortunately due to my Cancer treatment so didn't get a chance to start racing earlier this year. This is fantastic news to help get a novice going. I don't know whether I need to formally book somewhere but out me down for the 10th July and ongoing.

Thanks

Hi,
Sorry to hear about the cancer. There is no need to book in just come along and join in the fun. There are always people here to help.

See you there

Don't forget we have an open practice session at the track this Wednesday evening from 6.30pm until around 9.15pm. Need to clear the site by 9.30pm. Members £2, non-members £5.

Hopefully having the timing running this time.

I will be spending the time working out how to get over the jump after the corner table top after my woeful performance dealing with it on Sunday :blush:

Rob

I will be there, I too need to master the double, drove it like a donkey last week
Cheers
Rob

Doesn't look like I can make this one, i'll be picking the 1:1 scale car up from Bridport:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

Hope everyone has a good evening, should be able to manage the next one.

I'll be down with my completed membership forms and I may have a car if it's delivered tomorrow but not ordered the batteries/charger yet so no practice for me just yet! :)

Chairman Brown will be down tonight at 7.30 ish with timing gear and a shed load of tyres to sell you lovely people. :thumbsup:

Change of plan, looks like I can make this one after all:woot::thumbsup:

Are you open any nights next week?

Tuesday or Wednesday?

Neil

Sorry it seems you did not get a reply - I've been away.

Next weekday practice is 14th Aug.

Cheers

Rob

I'll try and make it down for the 14th :thumbsup:

Don't forget this Wednesday evening is our next practice session. Start about 6.30pm and end about 9.15pm.

I've got the decoder lap counting thingie so with a little help we should have lap timing.

Weather looking good at moment 17/18 degrees and sunny:thumbsup:

Was thinking about bringing a disposable BBQ down to cremate a few burgers/sausages. Anyone else??

Cheers

Rob

if my bits turn up in time i will be there
cheers
robin

See you all there:thumbsup:

I'll be there.. Had a great time Sunday, got some tweaks I need to make and some advice needed about my SX3 ;)

Always up for cremated meat :D

See you all there

Thanks
 

Just wanted to say thanks for organising today's practice. Although slightly wet, was extremely helpful to me to try a few things with my setup and get used to the track some more, and above all I had allot of fun :thumbsup:

Was good fun last night thanks to Rob W for opening the track up. Great to be able to do some drifting on Schumacher Yellows in the wet. Typical though that I left my box of tyres at home as I thought we were supposed to be having another heat wave this week!

Suntan lotion...drizzle oil...gloom juice:confused:

Was good fun last night despite the best efforts of the Met Office, toasted a set of part worn greens and enjoyed the drifting, roll on winter:woot:

Also the 2WD seemed good for all of 10 minutes that I drove it before it rained.

Thanks for opening the track and bringing the timing gear.

Is this still on tomorrow evening?

Hi

Still happy to open up but last night it was pretty dark by 8.00pm.

Suggest we bring forward to 6.00pm start and run until dark - bring a bright bodyshell. Not sure if we will have timing as not sure who has decoder.

Rob

I will be there
