Hot Bodies off road championships 2007 @ don valley
 

Who's going to the Hot Bodies off-road championships? I saw the advert for them a while back and was reminded today about it - so put our names down. It's run alongside the HB junior touring car thing - but apparently with an alternate layout for the buggies with jumps etc.

9th december they are on at Don Valley - bit of info and entry form here: http://www.mirageracing.com/news/article/703

I'll be going with my little B4 ... :rolleyes: ... similar surface to worksop i think? so should be a good'n not expecting quite as big a jumpage as worksop though...

Im up for a bit of that... Do we need to pre-book or just turn up? I can't decide whether to do 2wd or 4wd, I suppose 4wd.... its not had as many miles on it as my X-6 recently.

Would of went to this if the meeting had been advertised abit more.. abit late notice for me to get money together to go.

what tyres work for the 2 & 4wd buggies @ Don Valley?

Im wanting to go should be good fun.

A

Ill be there doin 4wd. I think yellow mini pins should be fine from what iv been told about the surface

Im going. Its a rubber running floor surface. adam and Mr Christopher did some testing last week with some D4's and they found that there wasn't much difference between the schumache mini pins and mini spikes. grip looked good so i dnot think there shoud be too many issues with it.

I'm looking forward to it. should be a laugh if the track is layed out ok.

Tyres Don Valley
 

Adam also tested some GRP cones and said that these and mini spikes were better than mini pins. So most drivers will have 3 options.

Lindsay:):)

is this pre book only. or turn up and run??

Lindsay - do you know if there is anyone to contact to book in over the internet (email) ? I guess it's getting a bit close to be sending snailmail entries in is all.

jimmy, you have PM. :)

Hi I should say we are booked in - but I was thinking of other people getting in to fill up any spaces left. The off road meeting is being run alongside the Junior touring car meeting - a good chance to show the kidZ what they are missing with their flat cars :p

i will be there and looking forward to it although i will have to get some tyres :S

I have seen entry forms on Mirage Web Site. Or contact Ben Cosgrove.
Adam in Poland till Wednesday so I cannot get any more info till he returns.
Lindsay:):)

I am interested in this so if the details for booking in can be posted that would be nice cheers.

Hi,

Entry form can be found on the Mirage website, or pdf here:-

grrrrrrrrrrrr beat me to it

I'll take it tyres will be available on the day?

Entry in the post today from me.

Would be very interested in this and i know that Russ is also interested and hopefully John might be able to make it as well.:D

Question is, how are the numbers filling up. Does anyone know?

Thanks.

Col.

My last conversasion with Adam was that it entrys were nearly full.
So any interested get booked in.

Hi Lindsay,
If anyone starts to accept entries by email/PM, please can you include me. I have done mine just today by post, with cheque and SAE - and don't want to miss the boat because post is a day slower than PM/email..

Ta mate
Chris

I asked Ben Cosgrove at Mirage if he could advise about places / online reservations etc.. so we'll see hopefully - it would be good to fill up the meeting as if it's a success maybe Mirage will do some more in future?

Same here, i suppose it would be unfair lets say if there are 10 places left but entry is only by post and there is 14 envelopes waiting to be opened as they say.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Col.

Ps - i have now had confirmation that it would be me and Russ only as John cant make it now.

Hmmm your comment appeared in between me replying and answering the phone lol :p.

Col.

I'm told there ARE places available, so if you get your entry in this week you should be perfectly OK. If we get enough there then there might well be 60 odd touring cars on ebay mid december as all da kids demand buggies from Santa! :D

That, or we all get touring cars - but I can't really see that :)


will try get some more info about places / booking in on here soon

HAHA lol they will realise what there missing when we drive over them.

A

It would be nice if something else is sorted for booking in as I dont have a cheque book.

Hey Spence, it might not be ideal, but im guessing a postal order would be acceptable - it would translate the same as a cheque when they pay it in anyway.... post office give postal orders ;)

i felt spikes were better than pins and so did adam driving my car ;) spikes seemd easier and more progresive.



ok entries, if you open this entry form http://www.mirageracing.com/graphics...20Dec%2007.pdf and phone John (number on bottom right of form) at a sensible time of evening, he will take your entry over the phone,or you can email him, i have just soke to him to clarify this


jimmy. there is a macdonalds (and piz hut) up the road and you can take your food into the hall :D

We can all be rebels! :D

Im in.

A

I entered this meeting a while a go when I saw the form on here. I'm doing 4wd and am really looking forward to it. Out of interest were you running new or worn spikes?

both were worn,on my car, i had no GRP to try

Adam was also running the oneway in his car and felt that marks car was better with the diff in it.

tel, both had diffs we had one way propshafts in, i locked mine and we both thought as you say it was better

haha, I knew it was one or the other. lol. always bound to get it wrong.:D

I tried to get the day/night off work only to be informed by my wife that I am already off work that day as it is our anniversary!! Oops:wtf:

You're a good guy Mark! done my research for me! :p

Should bea good fun meeting i hope they have cool prizes instead of trophies as somemeeting shave stuff like that lol.

Jimmy and his mcdonalds is there a wimpy on the way to???
