What tyres for new track pins or spikes ? Looks quote right in pics is this so ?

kourse kings
 

Can i say, the best i have found on my hong nor 4wd SC were the Kourse Kings from fastrax. in the Dry..... not run in the wet so cant help with that.:(

Even over schuy tyres ?

yep
 

the Kourse Kings are great on astro, at the SC national on our track they were THE tyre. I made the A final 5th i think with them. they grip great for ages.
I have not tried schueys, they will prob be good to!

I used yellow mini pins and finished higher than 5th:woot:

The online booking was just to register really. all booking in done on the day for SC and buggies. :D

Thanks guys! That's how we did it at EPR too!

Chris really enjoyed his first outing to Surrey & Hants, well done to all involved!
Any links to full results would be great, thanks!

Glad the day went well, few things I think to iron out with the series sponsors and organisers though I've heard!

Soon as I get the laptop back I'll post the results here :thumbsup:

is that the series sponsors that haven't actually shown up to a round yet LOL

Yea! :blush:

Speaking to Richard at Apex today he pulled out months ago, and as for HPI, well, that's anyones guess.

We only had 20 trucks turn up which I think it better than other rounds but still poor for the class IMHO. Even my truck was left un used after offering it out for the day :o!.

Guess we'll await news from the Adur Club?

Theres been nothing on the HPI new section after any of the rounds.
Think its a bit poor really from the 2 sponsors after some of us have travelled to all rounds so far

Yup we were asked about trophies and Apex were suppose to be supplying.

So I just said speak to them not me...

We won't be interested in SC trucks at TORCH again, waste of time in my view. Now if I lived in the US I'd be up for it.

From what Richard told me they have not been involved for quite some time. I've sent an email of to Adur so hopefully some answer maybe due as to what and who etc.

Personally short course are ace, just need the numbers increasing which will come in time hopefully. SHRCCC had a round of the National series which was very well attended and we hope to hold it again next year.

yeh it all seems like a very poorly organised mess.
although ive not been the one driving to the rounds, i wouldnt have bothered with the long journeys and having an extra car to get ready if there had been an announcement regarding the sponsors pulling out

Results will be corrected and sent off to series officials tonight.

Corrected? That's a bit of a worry!:cry: Especially from the winners point of view!

They available for viewing anywhere yet?

You're safe! Was just a case of the truck classes running to the wrong classifications on the day on BBK, quick change and two places reversed and we're all done :woot:
