Peter

peter are u running the meeting and is there handout transponders or do u need pt

Yes and yes, nice simple answer there.

Peter

Tempted to run truggy and buggy :woot:

i could run 8th buggy and elec 10th;)

There are quite a few of us going to run 10th electric and 1/8th nitro

I'm running
1/8th buggy and truggy
1/10th 2wd 4wd
electric 1/8th if i can


Or maybe take them all and see where I can fit myself in.


The plan for the heats, depend who turns up is, 1/8th buggy, 1/10th 2wd, 1/8th buggy, 1/10th 4wd, truggy. This was worked out on numbers of 1/8th's from previous meetings and hopefully getting a full heat of 2wd and 4wd.

Peter

peter is it the same track for 10th

or have u changed it abit for the 10th and if so u got any pics

Shane that's going to be decided on the day, it can be cut like this:

Or you can run the full track, as they say the majority will decide.

Peter

ill be running 1/8 buggy and 1/10 buggy

davey

What time does it start/finish?
I'm out Friday & Saturday night so not sure if I'll be fit for a full days racing! :(

If I remeber correctly booking in is from approx 8.30(or whenever I get there) till 9.30, with timed practice to seperate the 1/8th and 1/10th till the same time.

First heat will be 9.45.

If you want to go and can't get there early enough pm me and I'll book you in.

Looking forward to this, 2WD and 4WD electric for me.

if first meeting is free then me and jessica dont need to pay for april regional?or am i missing something????????????ta jez.any chance of directions/post code.

I think that was worded slightly wrong, it means first club meeting is free, regionals are a different matter.

Directions etc are here : http://northernrc.com/index.php?s=&s...ndpost&p=13341

Peter

only kidding you,peter.

You should have a look up, get some practice in for the regional.

Peter

Peter

New layout looks good peter ;)

That picture looks a little familiar :)

Sorry i can't make this one, should be at the next one

Who is coming up/doing what classes?

I am really looking forward to this :thumbsup:

Although i am out on saturday night :lol:

2WD and 4WD 1/10th electric for me.

A few quick details about Sunday,

1/8th qualifying will be to FTQ and 1/10th will use round by Round.

Practice on sunday will be ran in 10min slots, starting with 1/10th at 8.30 1/8th at 8.40 and so on, you aren't limited to amount of practice just to time slots.

As stated before practice will finish at 9.30 along with booking in.

If there is enough classes etc this is how I hope the heats will line up.

Heat 1 1/8th Buggy
Heat 2 1/10th 2wd
Heat 3 1/8th Truggy
Heat 4 1/10th 4wd
Heat 5 1/8th Buggy

There will be approx 4 mins between heats and the computer will be on automatic, so if your not on the line for the start you'll miss it.

1/8th will have a rolling start, this will be explained at the drivers briefing, 1/10th will have the traditional staggered start.

The minimum drivers we can have per class will be 6 to make sure there is enough marshals, any classes that don't have enough the drivers will be slotted in with other classes of the same scale.

Peter

Peter Im out sat night so might be late (You never know who you'll meet) so book me in. What time is heat 1 on the line?, oh and are we doing TQ???

Are there any different rules when marshalling 1/8th? For instance if a car cuts in 1/10th, you just unplug it and stick it at the side of the track. Is there a rule in 8th where a pitman can restart it?

if the car cuts im sure that the pit man will have to collect it as you cant leave your marshall position, so hand it to there pit man when they collect it and it up to them from there :thumbsup:

Just like to say thanks, to those who came and supported the club today, everyone seemed to have a good day. We hope to see you all again sometime soon.:D

Peter

Peter

Whats a good 8th scale car to buy then???

Any recomendations...

mine ha lol :p

Xray xt8 ..see for sale section :D

Are you sure Neil A?? Seemed a bit hectic racing smelly cars to me. People were running all over in total pandemonium trying to start cars etc. Track is very good for 8th scale though. Broke the Cat after 8 minutes!!

got 4 mins more than me and i was using a 8th :woot:

Get the best of both worlds, electric 8th, mine rtr is £330 or there abouts, takes plenty of abuse, if your at Jarrow on tues I'll bring it up and you can have a go.

Peter

Cats are like toys though. You want a tamiya.

You can jump it 12 feet in the air at jarrow, smash it off walls, crash head on with other cars and even land it on its roof doing a back flip, however take it to worksop and if you so much as grip roll it smashes into 4 pieces....

8th looks fun and if i get one racing it will be free.....
