:) funnily enough I have your old Lazer at home richard, would you like to borrow it? Be like old times then.

RSharpy 13-11-2007 07:39 PM

Cheers Rob, but think i'll stick with my B4, can't wait to feel the warmth and pleasure inside when I get the chance to shout off the rostrum 'lapping Austin, let me by please'

Can't believe you still have my old Lazer, did me proud that car did. Stood on my milk crate at the juniors, by Dad shouting 'Ohh Richard' from below when I cocked it up.

The Memory's!:)

Its fair to say that car was my favorite of all time!

Glad its still alive and in safe hands!

Dream on sharpy! LAPPING! I doubt! My mardave rules. Could do wiv some wheels but sein as youll be my main competition I doubt Ill even need wheels!......PUNK.:p

Robbiejuk 14-11-2007 01:04 PM

I will bring it on sunday anyways so you can reminisce some more.

Whats the race fees for sunday anyways?

Robfo 14-11-2007 02:06 PM

Well i should be there on Sunday (weather permitting) so what tyres should we be on? Yellow minispikes?

dbizzle5 14-11-2007 05:12 PM

Its probably gonna be a bit damp whatever the weather to start with! Usually rule of thumb is Ballistic greens in the wet/damp and schumacher yellow minispikes in the dry. I reckon it will be to damp for yellows though so i would go with blue or green schumachers or green ballistics. Im using blue ballistics on the Mardave:wtf:

Robbiejuk 14-11-2007 05:16 PM

Looking at the weather report for sunday I would suggest full spikes as a starter for ten.:)

dbizzle5 14-11-2007 05:20 PM

Darn it! If its pi$$in down I aint goin! I dont think the old mardave body is very waterproof!!:o

Yeah and your alloy chassis will rust :D

dbizzle5 14-11-2007 05:23 PM

Ha ha!:D I think its gone beyond rust already! I think Ill be lucky if it completes 1 round to be honest. It is 15 years old!

I'd dig your cat spikes or tr32's out if you have some, if not i'd say balistic blue's with blue mini's on the front.

Can't see it been dry enough for yellows, even without rain.

See you Sunday. (weather permitting too)

Yep bring it with you, would be nice to have a look at the old girl.

Think its about 5 or 6 quid to race.

Weather forcast is looking good now for tomorrow, cloudy but dry. And its dry in Nottingham today. So things are looking promising for some grass racing at Broxtowe tomorrow.:)

lol, was just going on what it said on bbc's website, maybe John Fish as been demoted from TV to the interweb side of things??

Still went though, just to see if there were any fellow nut jobs out there and there was!

11 raced and we all got very wet and muddy, one poor bloke sliped over, twisted his ankle, couldn't drive home and had to get the AA to pick him up. :o

Its not ideal racing outdoors and on grass at this time of year but its nice to see the club heading in the right direction.

Fingers crossed the weathers better next time although not holding my hopes up seen as the next rounds in January.

Soon be summer. :cool:
