an indoor one

[Gavin Collingwood]

Nope outdoor. Get yourself a tranny muff

[longman]

Gavin have you got any news when the last indoor round will be run. chheers lee

[Si Coe]

I suspect never. Neil was trying to see if the school could let us in some other time but I guess not.
Anyway its outdoor season time. Yes its -2 and still dropping the odd snowflake, but Easter always marks the start of our outdoor racing, so its time to get your yellow minispikes on and freeze.....

Any ideas on a good basic setup for the outdoor track at bury for the sx3.

Gav, I think we need to source a template in a computer program that can be easily used by most of us to create track ideas.
I know it can be done, just not my field of expertise.

If you can't do it then someone on here will be able to!

I will try and get over to the track on Sunday, although wont be racing as the Mrs has plans for me.

Not had many SX3's at Bury before but Gav's looks mental quick round the track so I'd run his setup and work from that.

I've found some track design software

I'll download it now and see what it's like and let you know

mine was good last time

front 4 hole pistons 450cst oil 4.0 spring
rear 4 hole pistons 350cst oil 2.5 spring

[Cremegg]

Heres a basic design...i was just messing about to test it. its quite basic but does the job

there's a few different icons but can be interpreted for ramps and tabletops etc

its ok to be honest for free

[Cremegg]

ive just found an updated version of the software with bumps, tabletops ect.

ill have another go lol

[Cremegg]

version 2

What time we starting sunday? Getting prepared to freeze my b***ocks off

[birdy]

I've not had chance to call Waterhead Academy yet, been too busy at work.

Will still try to call them tomorrow.

Do we not still need some of our stuff from up there like the timing loop and marshal post's?

The main problem I've found with the sx3 in the dry at bury Is grip roll and high speed instability but I've changed to the 3 hole rounded pistons all round with the rears drilled out to 1.6mm. associated oil,4.0lbs front 2.0 lbs rear, 40wt front and 32.5wt rear inside hole all round on the shock tower outside all round on the arms 20 mm ride height. I've also been using the S1 chassis which has more flex but I've recently out the carbon fibre one back on to hopefully dial out done grip with less chassis flex. To be fair it's working progress so come back to me after a few outdoor meetings and it should be going quick

To be honest outdoor tracks aren't hard to build so prob best just doing it on the day.

[Si Coe]

Because everything is basically already there and set, I'm not sure the outdoor tracks need a 'drawn up plan'. Mostly its just a case of dragging over the hoses to the right place and sticking in the jumps.

BUT

Its still better if the track has a single designer. That way at least it flows. Fast, big air, technical - I don't really mind as long as its consistent and that tends to come best from a single chief builder.

Also, as I've not quite got the hang of some of the finer aspects of race control can I have a typical lap time when we start booking it. BBK can cope fine with short laps IF I set the system for it, but I can't just look at the track and say 19 seconds like Rog could. I can leave the system set with a stupid short minimum lap but it would allow some serious cheating.....
