Thursday night racing @ The Naul
 

Hi all,

There will be thursday night racing from 6.30pm over the winter @ The Naul. This thursday (14th October) may just be open practice and testing the track.

Please phone me for the electric gate/barrier code when you arrive
086 8165440

Should be good.

Track surface is looking good. Few more jumps and everything will be spot on for a good winter race.

I'm already liking the table top on the back straight, lots of air time.

Anyone got a picture of the current layout.

The track won;t be complete until thursday afternoon. So I'll take some pics on Thursday evening if you're not heading down.

There is already a huge tabletop - about 7m long and 1m high - car get thrown about 3 metres on the air. There will be a cross over and some small jumps made by thursday evening.

Yeah hope to make it up thursday for a look.

7m table top, I wanna get the blitz over that :D

looking forward to the start of winter racing should be a good season

Track looks great. Hopefully you might organise a days racing during Christmas. I would be up for that. I could also try and and get a few Lads from Cork to go up. Well done.
Regards,
Alan

Racing tonight from 6.30pm - the new track layout worked very well on Sunday - there should be more great racing tonight.

Racing tonight from 6.30pm @ the Naul - have spoken to a couple of people this week and there should be a good turn out

Good racing last night. It's encouraging to see cars using minipikes doing well.

We had nine drivers.

Johnny Dungan is getting the hang of the CR2!!! :thumbsup:

Time for Ian to go Kyosho I reckon :p

Maybe for 4wd anyway. Not gonna rush into anything except getting rid of the Cat!!!!!!

XX4 is known for being weak arround the front too - and its the same layout..... big ugly front bumper could be the answer.....

Did you say it was today that you may have the gearbox done? or next friday?

Hi all,

At the moment racing tomorrow night is looking doubtful. There is supposed to be a deep freeze tonight and the lane from the motorway to the shed could be tricky to say teh least. I have a friend in Drogheda who has reported that the secondary roads around the town are lethal.

Anyone got any opinion on this?

I think cancelling is a serious option at this stage.

N4 & M4 this morning was down to one lane. Hate to think what unused side roads would be like.

I wouldn't see myself heading there. It's 1.5hrs of a journey for me at the best of times. Hate to think how long it would take with the roads as they are at the moment.

RWD in this weather is serious fun!

hey all yea i work less than 1/2 mile from the shed and roads are cat no salt on back roads and m1 not great at hme building snowmen not all bad:)

I can't get out of my gates let alone up the hill. Wouldn't even attempt getting there if it were today. I think we should cancel for this week.

All back roads very bad around Drogheda,Was up in the Naul today,not passable unless you have a jeep!See what tomorrow brings but not looking good.

should try it in a hiace:cry:

RACING IS CANCELLED THIS THURSDAY 02/12/2010
Hoping to race on Sunday :bored:

I don't care if there is a nuclear strike on Balbriggan this week - I'm going racing on Thursday!!! Have pissed everyone in my house off (especially 2 cats) testing my repaired 7.5 motor up and down the living room.... Don't know what there problem is, laptime was good :)

Well...... If you remember your history........

CATs are all terrain........



MiCk B. :-)

its pissing down snowing here will have a look at the road around the shed in the morning if i get there:eh?:

3 inches of snow tonight in ashbourne.. but ill take a drive up to the naul in the morning to have a look at what the roads are like.

was up at the shed today the road was not to bad but i went the road by the quarry which they salt themselves.The m1 is fine but the road to the shed is icey so care is needed.

Excellent, definitely heading out tomorrow night so :thumbsup:

Just to confirm;

THERE IS RACING TONIGHT :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Ian and I will be up in the shed from about 5.45pm tonight

There was only 5 racers this evening, and one spectator :) , but the good news is that the road up to the track is a little icey up the middle but generally fine.

Once on site, out landlord has the road up to the shed salted, so it's completely free of ice. Toilet however is frozen solid :)

Ian's car has been greatly improved, the XX4 ran and I've started a setup, and the CR2 managed 16.5 second lap and 17 laps in the final (2 laps faster than previous best time) - all thanks to a new front end and home-made steering rack - thanks Mick for the carbon fibre :)

There is racing tomorrow night from 6.30pm in the Naul.
No worries about ice or snow now that its a bit warmer - get your practice in for the championship round on Sunday :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Hi all,

Hi all,

there is no Thursday night racing this week as most of the regular racers are going to the Petit the following morning.

Anyone wishing to do some practice - I'll be in the Naul from 6.30pm ish till about 8.

Will

Hi all,

There is racing as normal this Thursday in the Naul from 6.30pm, see you there :)

Will

Good racing in the Naul last night - 8 drivers and very impressive debut for Wayne McGuire. The drivers who are participating in the Thursday night sessions seem to be the most improved overall - it's true; practice does make perfect!

Racing tonight from 6.30pm - see you there

How nice it is to be able to dig up this old thread again :)

I hope to be out in the Naul tomorrow eve from about 6pm. There will be racing if there is enough people - which there should be.

Who's coming?

You gotta love Thursday night racing :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thursday's are a no for me mate but I hope to get down for a few Sundays before the Winter Race.:thumbsup:
