outdoors?

[losichris]

With the next indoors 3 weeks away, how about an outdoor meeting in between? Need to be racing more than once a month.The weather last couple of sundays has been ok, anyone else think this is a good idea this week or next week?

Its pretty weather dependant, so the question has always been, at what point do we say "yes, meeting is on" or off? Turnouts can be low outdoors in winter even if it's fine and dry, just because it's cold spending all day outdoors. That said, used to run outdoors all year round, and i miss that personally.

Funny that you mention this on a day when we've had snow flurries

I'd be up for it also. I suppose we could start a thread in the week proceeding that people can put their name's on if they are going to come and if we have a decent amount see if Roger is available to run the meeting. Its not really worth going up there if there is only a handful of us so some sort of pre booking (without payment of course) would be useful

Hi all, I'm new to RC Racing as well as the forum,
Id just like to say that I went down to the track on friday-sat and sunday this weekend (I like getting practice in so I dont look like a total novice at the next indoor meeting)

Friday it rained in the morning so the track was very wet,
Sat I left it till about 2.30 to let the sun dry off the track, which it did and i had a great blast around, even got my Vantage to pop a few wheelies.
Sunday nice morning in Middleton but the track was soaked when I got there about 2pm, luckily no cars in the car park so I just had a car park bash and wore my stock tires down to almost slicks,

so even if it does look nice, the track yesterday was still wet.
having said that though Id still come down to watch/meet you guys/girls just not race on the track when its wet
