Hi all,
Last Saturday(8th June), we saw
ROUND 6 of Hinckleys 2013 OffRoad Club Championships!
Usual Dedicated HRCCC OffRoad Members took some of their Spare time up on the Friday, to get the Grass Cut, in Preparation for a smooth days Racing on the following day! Thanks again to Mark Stevens & Keith/Alan Marson for doing this, we all appreciate it!
With some good Weather again, this created another Great Turnout of Racers, giving 4 Full Heats of 2WD Buggies & a Mixture of 4WD Buggies with a Stadium Truck!
A Larger Group of Racers were keen to Help Assemble the Track this time, allowing us to Build the Track much Quicker & giving everyone a Longer Practice Session before the Meeting Started!
THE TRACK FROM A RACERS VIEW :
The Hinckley Club always likes to hear Racers ideas on possible Improvements, so this time round, the Majority Decided to go with a few New Options to the Configuration of their existing Man-Made Features.
Due to Demand, the usual Long Back Straight, small Kicker Jump & a Selection of Fast Sweeping corners were kept, but the Straight Table Top Ramp had been Extended to double its Length, making it very intresting! For the more Cautious Drivers, it could be taken as a small Jump onto the top lap after lap, but for others that wanted to risk it & gain some extra time, it could be completely cleared to Land on the Downslope with the right Throttle Control!
The usual Corner Table Top Ramp had been Rotated & Re-Configured into a small Banked Corner section towards the centre of the Track, which was Trickier than it looked, but a great place to make time if the right line was used!
Towards the Rear Lefthand side, one section of HRCCC's Unique 4-Piece Rumble Strip had been placed right on the 'Racing Line' of quite a Tight Chicane, giving Racers the choice of the Wider Safer Route on the Grass or straight through the Bumpy Rumble & gaining those extra few Tenths!
With some Intresting Qualifying Results, it made some great Racing for the Finals!
