Batley this Sunday.
 

Anyone know if Batley is on this Sunday?

Thanks

It is - weather permitting.

I don't think I'm going - weekend off I think.

Yeah like Stu says - I'm 50/50 - if people are going then I think I will go again.

i'm going if weathers ok

looks good so far! :thumbsup:

As per club website;), we will run weekly until further notice.

Sadly i'm working next 2 Sundays, but hope to see you all after that :)

i'll be there with my sidekick vinny,hoping to race both cars,whoo
see ya sunday

What time do things usually get underway, thinking about comming down just to have abit of a watch

Track building usually starts around 10am, racing starts about 11ish.

5 rounds of qualifying and a final, finished about 4pm.

Hope to see you there.

sound like a pretty good turn out hopefully
whats every body thinking of running 4wd for me

4wd for me too.

Doing as much testing as possible with the Durango in prep for a good season next year! :thumbsup:

As far as I'm aware it is back to 4 rounds now that its getting colder and darker earlier ;)

BOOOO! lol.

Sure we could fit 5 in this Sunday. It doesnt start getting dark until around 6:30.

Guess it depends on numbers

it does get cold tho. Plus some of us nearly got locked in when we left just after 5 last week.

Its all upto Dianne really and what she wants to do

I'll be down again, 2wd for me this time though :)

I hope we move to 4 rounds, that way it won't just be race/marshal/race/marshal constantly!

But at least you get loads of track time!!

Oh you scared of zie German car beating you again Rich!?!? :woot: hehe.

I'll be there all being well, my turn to have a sunday to myself !
Hope it doesn't rain.

22 second lap Craig?! Aww unlucky :p

:lol:

Random lap cos you messed up in the final!! haha.

I was in cruise mode way out in front so wasnt bothered about going for the quickest lap :p

Yeah yeah :lol:

Racing on this Sunday at Batley
 

Checked the weather and should be the same as Saturday which is good at the moment and reports say that it should not be as windy!

Hope we have a good turnout again this week - good competition makes for a good meeting and also helps keep the Club afloat!

See you all Sunday.:thumbsup:

My son has the above. He is 18. It's a 1/10th stadium truck. He has a (one) LiPo battery. There is no doubt he can handle the car OK. And the car is undoubtedly FAST, it's a brushless motor. But he has zero experience at racing. But he isn't stupid and he knows what's expected in getting round a track and not annoying people by bashing them off all the time. If he got there early enough, could he race with you people? It's 2WD. Let me know quick cos he lives a long way away and he will have to set off early. he would dearly love to have a go in a racing environment. All he has done so far is pull tricks at the local skate park and tear all the grass up in the garden.

Absolutely sounds fine, people don't normally race trucks (there's not really a truck class) but Steve Lawson one of the club officials raced a truck a couple of weeks ago, so yes!

Not sure if he's been round a track before but the slower the better ;) My friend used my car last week, he did race when he was a kid but hasn't raced for nearly 20 years I think and the motor in my car was a little much for him I think.

But yes- please come down. If you need any help then just ask someone, I'll be the one pitting out of my smart car if you need anything. I also only have 1 lipo battery, as long as you have a way to charge up between rounds it's OK.

thanks v much for prompt reply. Willaim is deaf but i will be there to help him. We have never fitted a transponder to a car before and we don't know what to do. I hope William is slow. We don't want him blowing everybody off in a car he shouldn't be racing! But I'm sure he won't. He is v quick but is new to racing and new to the track of course. Diane Harrison let him have a few laps in between races last Sunday which he really enjoyed. If things go according to plan, we might meet tommorrow! ~I am currently building a HPI Cyber 10b so you will def see me down there one day. Regards John Clift.

I have a body reamer to make a hole (for the transponder) and a transponder clip you can have - so that's sorted. you just pick up the transponder before your heat starts and clip it inside the body somewhere and then you're ready to go.
Ah I think I might have seen you guys, my mate was racing the Cyber10b also, it's a great performer, I raced it at the last round of the National championship series this year, really good. Even the kit tyres work pretty well outdoors. If you're running a hot motor it does need a slipper though.

Cool. Motorway jams permitting, we will be there. Hyundi i20. Red. 09 reg.

A good day today, thanks all :D

Good turnout?

Not too bad, 4 heats :)

G kicked everyones arse!

:p:p:p:p:p

What car?

Was good to come down and have abit of a lurk around, hopefully next time I will have a car with me ;)

Cat 501x :p

I backflipped going down the straight and snapped, Bulk lost rear drive for most of the race :lol:

Yeh i was on front wheel drive for over half the race :woot:

Still managed to nurse it round and finish in 3rd lol.

i made the B final the durango went well got it sorted finished 4th

GET IN

Looks like it could be a hidden feature of the Durango, all this front wheel drive stuff, seen it a few times now !

The LOSI wheel pin he was using broke - not even a Durango part. :p

LOL jimmy. What you need to ask though Jimmy, is why was he using a LOSI Pin ? Could it be that he lost / broke the Durango one.... (I don't know how to do stick out tongue smiley things, but rest assured if I did there would be one here !)

P.S. Is the 'hopefully' big-ish batley meeting definitely a week sunday ? If so i've booked it with the boss and hope to see you there :)

ha ha ha
 

lapped vinny 4 times :p

He didn't like how short the Durango one was, so decided to replace it ;) - Keep trying to pick holes in the car Andy, we all know you want one and are trying to convince yourself otherwise! :thumbsup:

See ya there mate, hope you're doing 4WD so I can give you another sound thrashing with the Durango! :lol:;):thumbsup::p
