Si Coe 05-05-2013 07:24 PM

Gavin - only you could risk divorce before getting married just to go racing. Good Man!

As for how he did at Southport... Notice that he wants booking in for 2wd!

Gavin Collingwood 05-05-2013 08:00 PM

Best run of the day saved for the final.... I won from 10th on the grid.
car is going really well now and I've picked up some valuable practice for southport which I shall repeat on the 9th of June for the regional the week after

Rickyktm 05-05-2013 08:09 PM

Il be racing that one aswell :-)

Gavin Collingwood 05-05-2013 09:15 PM

On another note i'd strongly advise against putting tarmac down at bury, after driving at southport as brillaint as the track is, the tarmac sections at southport absolutely kill tyres! i think the idea from birdy of using wooden decking like NNRC is a supeb idea and would offer a different surface and grip level without the excessive wear Tarmac would result in

rapidrubberwill 05-05-2013 09:56 PM

Si can you put me in for 2wd with my transponder and 4wd with club transponder please cheers will

But Tarmac dosnt burn unlike wood. But if it's giving the local chavs a BBQ pit to cook their sausages over then yes great idea:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Get a rubberised cork section down instead of Tarmac :p

I like this idea.

Silverfox, is this something you could supply?

Darren

Gavin Collingwood 06-05-2013 12:29 PM

Is that the stuff they use on running tracks? If it is, that would be ace! especially if it could be made uneven and contoured, we need more undulations on our track as the common consensus seems to be with other drivers that seem to stay away that the track isn't 'off road enough' and too flat

tinnylad 06-05-2013 01:54 PM

Yeah that's the stuff, is pretty low grip too which is fun

birdy 06-05-2013 02:31 PM

Tarmac kills tyres.

The chavs will burn the wood.

Concrete will kill the cars.

The only real answer would be for more features built under the astro with the astro fitted correctly.

Gavin Collingwood 06-05-2013 05:07 PM

Yeah birdy totally agree,that's the main thing. The track needs more contouring, and where could we het more pf the ssne astro from? to be honest actually, most tracks have different astro it is off road after all.
Stotfold and Broxtowe are complete astro tracks but are of national standard the main difference being they aren't flat, they are tracks with a selection of bumps table tops and different cambers which make it challenging.

silverfox 06-05-2013 07:41 PM

Struggling to get the rubberised stuff, but as you know should be able to help if we go the Tarmac route. Although not sure i can afford the tyres. The other challenge is how you join astro to Tarmac without it being a car wrecker. Not thought of a sensible way as yet.

Chris Elworthy 07-05-2013 10:24 AM

Book me in for 2wd please Si


Chris
