Just to let everybody know how it went last night.
The venue was awesome. 1st time i have raced on a surface like this and struggled with my only decent set of tyres,Green spikes on 2WD and balding yellows in 4wd.
After a few runs the line started to clear but didnt groove(not exactly sure what groove is but im guessing!) When you went off line you paid for it but it did make racing very realistic. I was having a battle with Kash Khan in 1 of my runs and i went tight 1 corner and off line then he came back because he was on the original line.Excellent fun.
I changed a few bits on the Cat and found after placing a lead sheet under my Li-po the car was miles better(still on the yellows)
2wd was a lot harder because as the night went on the temp dropped inside and the Greens that i was runing were useless. I changed to yellows on the rear and got some yellow fronts from Chappell but the car was so different i struggled.
Ribs on the front of the B4 seemed to be the order of the night.
Im sure Glenn managed to get some footage of my Cat going round so i hope he edits it well!!
I need a dirt expert to recommend some tyres that could work on the soft but fairly loose surface.
Finally, just a quick thanks from me to all that helped to run the meeting. Phill Mc and Bill on race control and Longbenton for BBK timing gear and track and mostly all to Harry who supplied the venue and set up track etc.
Bring on the next one!
