Just to finish off from previous posts...
I thought the track 99% was excellent. I have been to sooo many meetings where the jumps were just chucked in with no thought, this one was NOT like that at all.
Andy and Team - Do another meeting, this was great 9.5/10 I am sure that it will be well attended. My only problem is not racing often enough, and with no tracks with real jumps that test the driver. They are mainly ramps/flat wood at an angle. You guys close to CML are really lucky. I am at least 45 minutes drive from any local 10th electric club, so do not race as often as I could, thus meaning I do not get the practice on tracks like this.
All the jumps at the MKGP could be seen for entry and landing (so you are not driving blind). They were also positioned well enough so that no jumping caused you to land on the start/finish straight (I have seen this too many times). The cross over was excellent in that it was not a 'tunnel' so again you didn't have to drive it blind (again I have seen stupid ideas like this at numerous meetings). 3 out of the 4 jumps you had the option to roll over should you wish to cop out on. No jumps were placed right on a corner (remember the Tivvy National a few years back??) The track markers were good (non-damaging) and the jumps materials themselves did not do any damage to any of the cars that I saw racing. The mix of grip was excellent and the straight was also long enough to open up our cars on.
My only point was that you could not roll the crossover, which caused me and a few others to jump a little too far, to make sure we got over it. We then collided gently with the track marker. This sometimes caused the plastic barrier (in the landing area) to move into the other jump's landing area. I only mentioned these things because they had the 'possibility' to ruin someone elses race! I am sure that the guys will take our comments on board for next time and it will be positioned a little better. For you first real big meeting it was superb. My thanks go out to your efforts on the meeting. Without the jumps, it would have been a flat, boring car track! I will also bring my coat!
Thanks guys for an interesting day.
