meeting cancelled............................just kidding. now i have your attention,who can make it sat for set up? anybody got any track ideas or any good ideas for obsticles/jumps ? (apart from johnny gibbon coz most of us like our cars going back home in one peice as they arrived)felt ages since last meeting!

[ryanlownie]

Loved the wall ride at the last meet but the downside to it was the center barrier that kept sliding down... If that could be solved then please stick in another!

Also jumps with down ramp landings, maybe design the downramp as more of a speedhump so it can be fell short of but jumping the whole thing results in a faster lap.

All the tracks have been impressive though so I'm sure without our input it'll still be bloody good!

if we did the wall thing again would you jump it with your durango like you did your sc10? im thinking if there is room put say 5 of the blue crash mats like fallen dominoes,good old table top,little jumps together,how about putting rostrum to the side of fire escape(keeping it clear)having straight in front of rostrum and were rostrum usually is have a walkway say 1mtr wide so people can get to roger/ past track without getting in way of drivers etc.

[ryanlownie]

Haha yeah if I'm in a good mood I might do Rob! (Build something bigger for my SC10!!!)

A walkway could work though, doesn't matter what side the rostrum is on either.

The track for sunday should be a nice flowing affair..

With NO big wall ride (night mare for marshalling)

and NO matts of any length covered in carpet! (too random)

I know its all about having abit of fun, BUT it gets very frustrating to some people... im just taking on board what people have said to me.

So something that is " do-able " for all standards and not a marshall nightmare..

A nice table top using the table tennis tables some other smaller jumps using crash matts, just sensible stuff without going OTT..

Ive listened to what people have said to me and its exactly like worksop are now doing, fast flowing raceable tracks..

I'll be there on saturday so see everyone then!

Cheers

Must say I agree Nick.

The mats under the carpet caught me out every bloody time and I built them for two rounds! I suspect they weren't a great idea.

The wall ride shouldn't have been a marshalling issue, it became one when the centre post slid. Also ironically it wasn't really steep enough - a true wall ride needs no marshal- but we can't do that.
