Racing - Sunday 24th April 2011
 

I'll be racing properly this weekend :) 2WD again.

Who is in?

Me. Need some practice before the first all day event.

Racing my X6 but secretly hoping to get beaten by the Losi 22s so I can convince myself I actually need a 22 rather than just want one!!

Rob

Maybe you should have a chat with Steve as his is going up for sale! Failing that Rich D has one for sale on the forums and his kit is always very very nice. Chris Elis I think is also looking to offload his too and I believe maybe looking at an X6 again!

If I can get a car in time then I would like to see what the tracks like. Will try and pop along anyways to say hi :)

Sadly no 'leccy fun for me... racing nitro at Clanfield to shake down the new truggy ready for the first round of the Nationals at Herts the following weekend.

Quiet weekend for TORCH then potentially as assume Tony, Dave, Cammers will be at Clan too?

Def 2WD for me then, but may just runa testing session ready for the Summer Series. I.e. 2WD round 1 4WD round two etc.

Better see some running on Sunday then and find out why they are all selling them!!??

Rob

Phil's looks good, but Steve and Phil can make any car look good.

Remember it's also driving style. Steve HATED the X6 when he tested one.

What about the new c4.1 from CML?

I love my Vega apart from the price and the shell. SV, Vega and 511 will be my fleet for 2011. Vega and 511 for the regionals, but prob just doing 4WD

Bloomfield would have put it in the A if he hadn't been on the reserve list at the national

I'd guess all the Clanners will be absent, either racing there or (in Jamie K's case) playing with the big nobs at the Neo... so could be a bit quiet. Most will probably be back the week after, think it's only me and Tony RC doing the Nats, depends how many decide to do the SRS @ Slough. Man, too much racing, not enough time!

Glad you commented on the Vega shell, was going to comment on it's 'uniqueness' myself:eh?:. Having said that, many people seem visually offended by the Gainabull shell on the Durango.

Yup Gainbull is marmite for me. Eww. Original shell much nicer!

I'm there again hopefully get nine laps in if I cAn stop rolling over
what does the vega shell look like?

Imagine an ugly bird and then double its weight

clanfield i'm afraid Mikey but i like the gainabull on the Durango

Well got new speedo and motor coming tomorrow from the good guys at rclazy:thumbsup:so fingers crossed that i can get a meeting out of the 22 this weekend after having 4 weeks from hell with it so far:(
chris ellis

What did you get?

You know you want a Vega ;)

22 is a great car, I will probably give it a run the weekend, its a really safe car to drive and very comfortable driving style fior anyone, a little boring to tbh, the sv and vega seem to be more nimble! Maybe something to do with the addition of nearly 200 grams to the car?

Chris Ill have a nice heavy weight to place under the lipos, not a nice shiney brass one :blush: This will help settle car down, however the 55 grams on the back is a must.

mikey,i have got a orca vritra vc4 pro mk2 speedo and trinity d3 7.5 motor so we will see how this goes on sunday if not happy will sell the 22, trying it in rear motor this weekend just to see if it suits me more
chris

Would love to be down, but off to Neo http://www.theneorace.com/

Good luck :)

Fly the clanfield and TORCH flag!

haha cheers will be fun.. but will get my rear end handed to me for sure.. Will be a bit of a kick in the face watching the top dogs!

Who's racing then?

Shall I race 502 or 22?

Very quiet for Torch on Oople, or is the hot weather taking its toll on people :thumbsup:

Cracking weekend of weather ahead, so make sure you come prepared ;)

Def 2wd for me as don't own a 4wd yet. Prob round 2 of summer series

Hi guys

Paul

Hard to tell at present to be honest, however we have been getting 30+ just for morning racing.

SV to start with tomorrow.

Cheers for a good meeting today, results are also now online

www.torchracing.org.uk/results/2011

Roll on first round of the summer series.

can ihave the code for je spares

Ace morning! The track is just ace now!

We'll always try to match JE prices at rcLazy, just ask.

Yup please support the shops that support TORCH

picyures? top 3? what chassis? weather? did you stick with the sv or run another chassis?

Weather - superb
Steve, Phil, Nick I think
SV fundamentally.

Next! ;)

Great morning - track is getting better and better with new jumps.

Thought I was having a reasonable final only to find my a wire had come loose on my transponder so I got zero laps - suppose it is better that it happened this week rather than next.

Lets start praying for another dry day for next Sunday.

Don't forget your disposable barbeques for lunchtime. 2 for £5 in B&Q at the moment.

Rob

Why you in attendance next week ;) ??

Greatmornings racing or I should say repairing!!!!!! The track is brilliant looking forward to next weekend c u all then

good days racing again need a 6.5 back in my cat thats for sure track is great at the moment new jumps seem to work well got a bit of adjustment to do on one going to make it a little bit lower after feedback from drivers today which is what we like so we can sort problems .
so off down in the morning to sort it all out re do the starting grid on straight so we will be all set for the big meeting next sunday see u all there :thumbsup:

Had a fun morning yesterday - like the new features, especially the small table top - though the final always seems over too quickly. So just wondered instead of 4 qualifying heats and 1 final, whether it would be better with 3 qualifying heats (best 2 to count) and 2 finals? :)
