Please pre book, as we only have so many spaces available.
Thanks

Ps. I'm not any bodies cleaner, so can you bin your rubbish. Thanks

Done, but weird I am in there twice as well as Chris... I think last week's entries are still there.

All fixed :-)

Well apart from the template issues....

[Dave Dodd]

thanks Rob, again lol..

i need to be quicker at refreshing that page

[cunawarit]

I see that Chris has entered the FF01 Shamcar in the Tamiya class

I hope a couple of Minis turn up as well. Allegedly Colin was considering getting his TT01 going too. Tamiya class FTW!

[Dave Dodd]

Might get abis mini sorted :-D

[cunawarit]

Cool For yourself or for Abi?

It was only a matter of time. After seeing how much you, Chris and Charlie were enjoying yourselves last friday in the Tamiya Class I can't resist having ago myself

[cunawarit]

It is a bi-product of us all running so close as well as being quite gentlemanly when driving.

Not getting undertaken (yes undertaken, overtaken under your wheels) by a semi-guided missile (sorry pan-car) like used to happen to me in Outlaw last year is a welcome change!... It is quite telling that the TL01 has so far suffered no broken parts (despite some good attempts from my part). In Outlaw I pretty much had to take the thing back in a bin-liner after two minutes of racing, when carbon fibre and alloy meet cheap brittle plastic there's only one possible outcome

I don't know how close you will be to us, from what I recall you have a dragster motor in the Shamcar

[Chris56]

perhaps somebody should buy a pan car, paint it black and call it "the Undertaker".

The Shamcar vs a TL01 should be pretty close. It has a 13t etronix system in at the moment which is the slowest motor I currently have. When I raced it I was faster than most M03/M05s (had some good battles with Charlie's M05 though) but slower than an M06.

Friday will tell how they both fare though

[cunawarit]

I narrowly beat Charlie's Mini when I ran a 15T. But it was way too silly, the TL01 was barely controllable!

I like the pan car idea! If Dave could play this every time it goes on track I'll do it!!!



Power source? 3S + Castle! Should take me to 100 MPH and kill everything on the track. It'll be a whole lot of fun till a marshal loses a foot... or head

[The Doctor]

Hey, I have a (home-made) pan car. It's the "Overtaker".

No hard full-on arse-end ramming from me though lads!

TRANSLATION: Come on everyone, I remind you every week. Book in on-line or forfeit your right to complain when there's no space for you to race. Don't forget that the last couple of club nights have been very busy. BOOK ON-LINE!

[The Doctor]

People won't do it unless there's a benefit and we don't want to turn people away on the night unless we're already full. We did have 6 heats last week though, which is the maximum we can run in the time available.

So, I think we need a pre-booking incentive (i.e. a discount, or an on-the-night booking fee). We need to start recognising those people that do help to make things run smoothly on a club night (e.g. pre-booking, setting up, packing away, tuck shop etc etc) as we used to. Otherwise it falls to fewer and fewer people that end up feeling taken advantage of.

Dave - this isn't a pop at you mate!

[Robbiejuk]

Maybe they have been put off by all the talk of arse end ramming...

[cunawarit]

My post wasn't a dig at Dave either, he already does so much. None of us would be able to race if it weren't for him.

I was simply stating a fact, last week was pretty busy. It is conceivable that some people could be turned away. From my perspective isn't the main benefit that you know you have a sure racing slot?

And Rob... There's no need to keen bringing up the "hard full-on arse-end ramming".

[The Doctor]

Best to change subject I think...

So, is it "dusty carpet" time again tonight? I think the school used it during the week? I remember I made a complete "car moustache" the last time that happened.

[Dave Dodd]

Thanks guys, I know non of this is aimed directly at me
There is a large group of regulars, whom the club would suffer greatly if we didn't show up. Gladly and thankfully you all do..

Hopefully the carpet shouldn't be too bad
