Bury Metro 29th April

[RobHatcliffe]

Really looking forward to the 2wd regional at 'our place', hope to say hello to plenty of you guys who frequent the forum(s).

No doubt I'll be there at silly o'clock on the Saturday morning on track building duty, just wondered what you would like to see included? Those of you familiar with Bury Metro, would you like me to include the infamous sleeping policemen, the full banked turn in front of race control, the full length of the back straight.........or shall I just surprise you with a swine of a track

Pray for better weather than Teesdale (although you guys coped really well)

Hi Rob,
How about something a bit different, maybe using the whole of the back straight and not the front straight (turning off it somewhere?). Just an idea.

Oh and Rob, make sure to order some sunshine. :sunny:

I think I'd rather have the full back straight in 4wd... since I'm only doing 4wd! Plus, that's the only class I've ever raced in with it like that before...

I'd just like some hot weather please... I'm in desperate need of a tan on parts of me OTHER than my face (Southport sorted me out there!).

The banked corner coming onto the straight scares me. its all a bit quick like! lets slow it down!

Chris,

I'm with you that cutting in off the front straight makes for an interesting track (and a bit of a change), but it may give start line issues at a regional - especially in the finals when we would have 10 cars piling into the first turn so soon after the permanent start line.

I'll have a look on ebay for boxes of sunshine too.

Back straight would be good but proberly better in 4wd.

It's only so I can put my 8x2 in and have some fun again lol

Hi Rob,
For the heats, the usual start grid should be fine as the cars start off staggered, for the finals the start would be on the back straight like it was in the 2003 national there.

But really, I don't mind the track layout, I am just hoping that the sun is out as the track will be good whatever the layout if it is dry.

what about using the back stright as the start line instead of usual flag stone starting position lol great mind's and all that chris

[Chrislong]

Aye, :tiesto:
