Just to contribute and for discussion;
Kidderminster Novemeber Winter Series Round
Damp (slippery in places, reasonable traction in others)
Set-up as per Richard Lowe's Bury base set up other than.....
Drive:- front diff and one-way on shaft
Pistons:
AE #2 in front
AE #1 in rear
Oils:
AE 35 in front
AE 25 in rear
Springs:
AE green front and rear
Tyres:
Balistic Buggy pink spikes (not cut but not brand new as they were borrowed)
Ride height:
Rear:- inner and outer hinge pins in line
Front:- 3mm lower than rear
Motor:
Novak 5.5 on 18:78 (10.83 which is a little higher than their recomendations but it helped smooth the car out and still came off cold)
The car felt really nice in the final (been running Schumy greens till then as all I could get), next to no understeer off power and just the slightest hint on power but not enough to make the car "push". Lap times in the final were good enough to slot me into the A (if it had been qualifying) so must not grumble .... about were I would expect them to be compared to people like Matt Dodd assuming that our relative performance is still as it would have been 3 years ago when I last raced 1/10th off-road.
This will be my starting set-up for damp astro from this point on (till I find something quicker but as safe to drive)
