I raced at Oswestry BCL today and qualified 4th and finished 6th (2nd in the last 2nd leg and 9th in the 1st leg after breaking from 3rd on the last lap!)
The track was 100% grass with the exception of a large table-top in front of the rostrum. The track itself was quite large and we were completing 14 laps at around 21-22 second laps.
It is also the same grass that will be used for the National later on this season

Track Washers - 1mm front and back
Roll Bar - No

Shocks

We initially started out with 25wt oil in the front but went up 5wt after Round 1 to try to give the car a bit more stability as the track was drying.
We also started off with the Standard Diff and changed to a one-way after Round 3 and to be fair never looked back.
Please note the changes noted below from original e-mail

Hi guys,
Just a quick report to let you know that the set-up I posted above worked a treat at the National yesterday at Oswestry and as I qualified 2nd in the 'B' final and finished 4th. I was the 4th highest place CAT at the event behind Si Moss, Grant Williams and Nathan Waters and also my best ever 4wd National Result in 15 years of trying
You can't do much wrong with the above as a starter for grass
