sundays @ Dynamix
 

Ladys and gents

Dynamix will run every Sunday (weather Pending) 10am until finish
except for the Sundays that mirror the regionals, as we will all be
at the events competing.

so tell your friends and bring the kids and enjoy the great British summer out doors racing off road buggys and on the astro.

see you all track side.

Any practice nites during the week Paul?

Friday nights, see Benfield section on forum.

think his post is aimed at dynamix running during the week for practice.....:p

Just confirm, yes week nite practice at dynamix

Hi Chris in reply to your question sorry we do not open for practice on any night and the is no acess to the track. Sunday 10am untill finish is the only time cheers Paul

That's a shame on the mid-week practice. I'm coming down to work in Newcastle soon, but will still be doing a weekly commute till my wife joins me and we relocate. So anything Mon-Thu would be good.

If it's just people's time to commit to running a practice meeting, I've got a fair bit of experience - 30 years on and off running several clubs up here, as well as restarting our Regional/National series (Scotland). So I could do it.

Just a thought, and happy to help, as it helps me too.

Failing that, any other offroad meetings Mon-Thu in the area?

Welcome to the NE Dom - hope you enjoy it.
I can certainly vouch for your YEEEEEEEEAAAAARS of experience in R/C :-)

Cheers - Bill, as was DCMCC & NERCR

What time do you roughly finish on a Sunday guys ?

Around 4 mate

Sundays at dynamics
 

Emily and I attended on Sunday, not many there but we had a good morning and afternoons racing. The track hasn't changed much. It needs people to attend and generate funds so it can be improved. Come on people attend on Sundays when the weather is reasonable. I dare say that Paul might consider midweek if he can get numbers there. If no one turns up it wasting his tim and money.

Keith

Surely if it was opened up midweek then people would turn up?

The fact that there's 2 clubs in the North East and they both run on the same day is a bit daft really. If Dynamix was opened up midweek In The spring/summer months I'm pretty sure that they would get more drivers turn up to race.
We should really be helping eachother out, it's not like the old days when there were 80-90 people racing every Sunday @ Belmont!!
More people racing at Dynamix then more money to improve things!!

I am going to travel down some weekends from Edinburgh to race and predominantly to do some astro testing.

I will drag my Dad down with his 4WD, look forward to meeting everyone.

If i remember correctly last year quite a few people were asking for racing mid-week
so dynamix opened up mid-week and nobody turned up so they stopped doing it

Are you saying that they won't open up midweek even if there was a demand for it to be open?

nowt to do with me

just saying that I know last year there was a demand, they tried it and it quickly died off due to lack of interest so i'd imagine there is a reluctance to do so again .
but you'd need to wait for an official word from a club official

We will have to wait for something official then, surely some more cash in the coffers is a good thing!!!
What improvements have been made since the last regional if any?

As AfroP says, we tried it midweek twice before on different days because people asked for it but hardly anyone showed up an as paul was having to arrange to finish work early to accomodate enough time for people to get a decent nights racing in. After all the effort that was put in last time i think we would need to see a big amount of people wanting this for it to even be thought about at the moment

What's the chances of getting a few people that can access the track rather than just leave it up to Paul?
It works well at RHR.
Might be worth a poll??

thats not really the issue mate its making it worth while to open for enough people that will turn up

Totally understand that!

Is it going to open if there's enough people that will want to use it midweek?

I'll have a chat with Paul an find out mate

Is the issue that there is a minimum charge by th dynamics management charge to use the site? Minimum numbers need to attend and see growth! Paul needs to speak with people to see if we can some to some agreement and agree numbers we can get to com along. I assume Paul is a committee of one at the moment.

Who wants to attend and which days?

Sunday
 

I will be there this Sunday if it's a nice day .

Wednesday night would be good , you cannot get any mider than Wednesday .

MID WEEK Opening
 

Just to clarify I have tried to open through the week for the past 2 years both times at the request of local drivers, (I WONT NAME THEM) Both times this has failed due to the promise of drivers saying there coming and them not showing.

as part of my agreement with the site owners I must be in attendance when the track is use or visitors are on site. this would mean me finishing work early and I am sure you all understand it is completely not financially viable to open through the week for 1 or 2 drivers who MAY show up to race.

Simply
with low numbers of drivers who do support / attend on a Sunday.
I make a personal financial loss on running this track every year.
and don't wish to further financially Burdon myself or my family

I have kept it running as I really enjoy my hobby and love racing out doors,

I WONT NAME THEM??
Christ that was subtle!!! Suppose you mean me?!! Ha ha!!!

You could ask yourself why there's low numbers mate??!! That's what I would be doing!
Bit crap if it's costing you money to run each year! That's just not sensible!!

I come last Sunday u might of seen me in a black car when I looked at the track it looks good but it needs smartened up a bit I think if ppl chip in a bit get it looking nice more will come u should have track days give ppl tips on racing on a track talk about the cars u use.

And is it ok if I come this Sunday and use my 1/10 electric truck on the track ?

Hi, just popped down to have a nosy but there was no one there :( is this because of the weather or other stuff happening?

id imagine its due to the rain mate but not sure as working at the moment

Hi we were at the track from 10 am until 2ish and called it a day to the heavy rain showers.


Regards
Paul

Sunday 22nd June
 

Will you be racing this Sunday, if so I might try and get down and let my old CAT 98 stretch it's legs ;)

As far aas im aware is on 2moro 10 til about 4 mate

I should be there today, looks like its gonna be a lush day :D

Hi,

Is it going to cause a problem if I can't marshal after my race? I have managed to damage my ankle and my fastest speed at the moment is a hobble :-(

I might try and get my daughter to come down with me and she could stand in. I am also trying to get her interested, just need to get her a cheep starter car that is up to racing. She has been doing some practice with my old RC16T.

Hope to see you on Sunday.

Tim

Hi Tim no problem at all we have a super star who loves to marshal every race
