Racing Sunday 21st Febuary 2010

[mikeyscott]

Racing as normal on Sunday, who's in?

Hopefully the numbers will pick up as we've spent a lot of money on kit and so for and it would be nice for a decent turn out.

Yes I know a number of you are hankering after an all day meeting - that'll be April I expect. I also appreciate that the weather this time of year is rubbish.

We are also looking at a couple of track maintenance days after Easter on a Saturday. This is to help us get the track in good shape for the summer to enable some great racing. It will also enable us to consider all day racing more as there are some things such as parking that needs to be sorted out.

If the weather is with us for the maintenance day I could well plug the laptop in to enable some people to practice AFTER track work has been done.

I know its only monday, but i'm busting to get back racing next week. Depending on the tyres i have, i might run in 4WD, if not i'll be test running it after.
Hopefully there will be more people there next week.

I'm looking at a return for next Sunday .

not raced since October, been toooooooo fracking long.

Still be running the Durga in 4wd

Hopefully, the weather is nice-ish.

See you then

Weather not looking too good all week, even sunday looks showery .

[super gripper]

Hoping to be there, depends on the weather obviously. I have lipo to try out this weekend.

Lets hope the 4wd numbers go up some more

[Cammers]

I'll be there to do battle if weather is reasonable, X6 seems so much more stable and balanced than the B4, just need to get it set up right and see if the times come down.

Good man, well when I've got my Cougar SV I'll join the 2WD boys a bit more. Pending on numbers I may alternate etc. or something.

I hope to be there as long as not too wet. May be a B4 day for me, unless my D4 Parts arrive

What have you done to the D4?

[dibble34]

Nothing, the outdrives on the slipper clutch are worn. It's a long story but it made the drive shaft to the rear diff shear off as well

Dave I thought the days of the D4 are numbered, maybe tune your tranny into my car next week and try my cat? You will not be dissapointed.

The only thing that will stop me racing this Sunday is my current state of man flu.

[dibble34]

yep, think i may treat myself to a cat sx 2 this year, but not until later on. The D4 is a good car, probably better now than when i got it, but do like the look of the cat

Yeah join the Cat SX club

Now is the time to pick up a MK1 bargin, unless you go for a Cat SX S1 which will have the big bore shocks etc

[dibble34]

This time i want the latest model and new. I also fancy a build now i have learnt so much. Have to admit i am torn between the sx2 or the S1 version if everything is the same. Those big bore shocks have to be a winner round our track

Fair enough

As for which one, your call. I think the S1 is a good car too and Simon Moss runs the S1 chassis on his Cat SX from what I have seen as does Mr Brown..

[mikeyscott]

Weather is looking ok for Sunday, just hope all the rain from today it's too much of a problem

[DanG]

The weather report I've just seen shows the weather as being good this weekend but as ever we'll have to wait and see. I'll be there!

[Freakypen]

I'm also considering coming out to play...please weather -be dry for a change
