Eastrax Winter Series - Round 5
 

Eastrax are holding round 5 of their winter series this coming sunday, 10 Feb 08.

Everyone welcome, book in on the day, racing starts 10:30

Eastrax is on 10th Feb isnt it? (this coming Sunday). Will be running on the new track layout too.

thats what i said, the joys of editing :D

is it indoors or outdoors?

Wot have you done then Charlie ? I can guess that the triples were the first thing dug up, lol. I'll be there on sunday.

Smokin', it's outside m8 but covered pits and rostrum Woo Hoo

Nothing dug up, but I believe the track is now much better. Have still to drive it so it is still a belief at the moment. 170M long now, with less hairpin bends.

Looking forward to giving the new layout a go. Less hairpins sounds good especially with a 19 turn, now where did I put that 30 tooth pinion ;)

What tyres work there?, if I have some in the box I might come and give it a go this week. Will be racing mod though, only 19t I have is in the Hotshot;)

Hi John.
It's a control tyre event - Balistic spikes for the competition - green is best on the rear with blue or green on the front. The idea of this trye was a driver could do the whole series on one set if he wished. Hope to see you Sunday.
Regards

Thanks Charlie, think I've got some greens somewhere, have to see if the wife will let me out to play now:lol:

Be good to see you Sunday, been a long time mate.

If it's not too cold, i may have a run out this sunday!! Not sure where i put the ballistic tyres, or the old 19 turn motor. Must have a look for them before the weekend.

Weathers looking good for the weekend, not to cold and a lot less windy than last time out.

Yeah I think we could get the biggest turn-out of drivers yet. I have it on good account that the points leader is definately worried.

Really good days racing today the track changes made for much closer racing I thought.

I for one was very happy with the track changes. A lot less marshalling was required and I thought less car breakages too. The track flowed far better.
Otherwise a great days racing, but I would still like to race against only people using the same equipment as me. The series was advertised as a 19turn 2wd series. anything else like 4wd's or mod/brushless motors should be separated to run together. I would like to know where I stand against others running the same stuff as me!
I really dont care who wins but why have a less powerful class and run it alongside fast stuff. I do appreciate that the best driver will win no matter what motor he may be running but it does brass me off to be continually passed by a 4wd mod then have to avoid his next accident!!!! Moan over - I did enjoy myself today
