I'll happily look at a K1 Sunday, but 4WD I'm parked up until Maritime.

Won't be getting 2WD wet and mucky as racing it at Area51, but will be at track

I will be down with my XB4 Although.. I may have to ask all marshal's to take a towel. And to dry it off, every time I bin it.. so a good 2-3 times a lap LOL

Fingers crossed the weather is ok! :thumbdown:

I will be along if dry, but may have to leave before finals. Will be my last chance before January, so will probably debut the RB6. May bring the FS2 and 22T if an alternative is required. You know what its like. Sometimes things break. Normally for me, the part you have not got. Hoping for a dry morning.

I'll be coming down with my ageing ZX-5SP 2008.

Be gentle with me, I haven't raced 1/10th in quite a while:cry:

jamiekerr14 16-12-2012 03:39 PM

Not what I heard from my sources. Drive martins, really nice.

dibble34 17-12-2012 05:44 PM

Just getting a price :)

badger5 17-12-2012 06:11 PM

Sounds like it's already sold.:woot:

Thanks to all for an excellent day's racing, specially Dan and Al for welcoming a returning 1/10th driver and being helpful with setup etc.

TBH driving a 1/10th buggy on a purpose-built 1/10th track was like playing a video game compared to the 1/8th brushless buggy I normally drive, it was so much harder but I think it was good for me. Also the 10-minute break at the end of each round was a good time to change something and try it out straight away, for me this really added to the true racing experience.

I really enjoyed myself, even though I didn't do all that well I learned a lot playing around with sway bars and stuff, on the way home a light bulb went on above my head and I suddenly realised that what my 1/8th car needs is more off-power steering so i'll be trying the same things with this next time i'm out with it. Sometimes you can get too close to something to "see the wood from the trees" and a change is as good as a rest:)

No worries Alex, hope to see you again soon. :)
