Friday 2nd March Racing
 

who`s playing vintage this week then

Meeeeeeee! Have some tyres sorted now, still no oil in the shocks, but hey, you can't have everything!

Don't forget, for everyone looking to run vintage, make sure you have your modern car with you in case the numbers don't work in our favour!

Just to let everyone know, as we have the micro national on Sunday we may have a few more people visiting the club to get some practice in (maybe) so the more the merrier :)

So who's getting the keys this week? :woot:

Errrmmm any chance we could postpone this Vintage round 'till next week?

I've got this 2wd micro-thingy to race in the National at the weekend, i suppose i had better do at least one practice night with it... and im not good at doing 2 different classes in one night :lol:

looks likely vintage may be postponed again then due to lack of participants.

Booo :thumbdown:
(yes I know I'm guilty of not racing vintage too!)
I know Phil was hoping to run, and Dave Jackson has got his Cougar nearly ready to go.
Chris was running his boring car yesterday so don't know if he was planning on swapping the electrics back into his RC10 or not

My CHunk is back out to play aswell :thumbsup:

Dont worry, this is a one-off ! Name another date for the Vintage and the Astute will be there !

But for the sake of my pride and the other competitors i should really have at least one practice with the Chunk before i race a National...

On another note, i ran at Telford Hot Trax last week ( great club ), and i got Steve Haynes ( ex-Tamiya Factory driver late 80s/early 90's ) to run my TRF Astute for a round... first time he had run an Astute in 20 years, and he seemed to have enjoyed himself with it - he was quick with it as well :)

So now its been run by a 'proper' driver, hopefully some of Steves skill will have been absorbed by the car and i might have a better chance of keeping up with Martin next round.. or maybe not.. :lol:

whats the minimum required to run a vintage heat friday then, for those of us who dont race micro .

Really for any class we need to have 6 drivers in it to make marshalling work, we could always drop a couple of willing modern cars in there to make numbers up again, but it didn't seem that popular last time.

Just bring modern cars as well in case there's only 3 of us, or shall we just postpone it for a week?

I'll be there, no vintage though

I will definatley be there on friday, but wont be able to do vintage next week only the week after. Just how it works with my girlfriends shift pattern i'm afraid:(

I will try to get there this week. Hope to swap a shift.

I cant get enough og the C4.1, Love it. :D

well for vintage, that possibly means we could have :-
brian
martyn
phil
pete
si
dave
paul
maybe chris if he puts his electrics back in his rc10
which is enough to marshal the next heat

I'll be there, probably 2wd again this week, especially after the great racing I had last Friday. Can't wait.

vintage should be ok then :)

who's getting the keys then? I should be able to get there for 6.30

have spoken to paul and he also wants to concentrate on his micro on friday so not doing vintage.
so that possibly leaves
brian
martyn
phil
pete
si
dave
maybe chris if he puts his electrics back in his rc10

well I've got the RC10 going. but I've got a slow servo in it and its not centering. and I can't find the gear guard at the moment. So I'll be doing vintage.

micro for me

get some oil in those shocks pete, looks like we have a vintage round :thumbsup:
chris i may have a gear cover i`ll have a look tomorrow and let you know.

No Si this week and Dave isn't 100% that he'll make it either :(
