This is a huuuuge indoor venue people and so close to Christmas it's bound to be horrible and cold outside so get booking in

The Track is going to be designed by the one and only Lee "Pidge" Martin so you can expect good things for this one (no pressure Lee)

Andy, posting a link is fine mate - http://www.newburyrcclub.co.uk/mkgp.htm

Hope to see a few there - we don't get many proper Off Road indoor races so this should be good!

(tooooooo fast that Goodall guy!)

[Lee Martin]

early track designs are going well.......................

this could be one of the best indoor venues seen for a long time!!!

combo of slippy floor and carpet with hand made wooden kickers...table tops. doubles and even a cross over!!!!!

muahahah

[c0sie]

From a micro racing point of view..that track sounds ace!!!

Lee, just a quickie, are you gonna be running a shortened straight for us wee micro racers?

If you are bored on Sunday you could always pop along to Hereford and watch Craig, Keith, Jimmy and John racing their small cars with the big boys

[GRIFF55]

Is there going to be a control tyre for the offroad class? On the site it says 3 min in each class, is this possible??
Cheers

[Lee Martin]

[c0sie]

[Lee Martin]

Hi Andy

He means as in 3 Entries minimum to run each class so if they only get 2 micro stock it won't run for instance :-)

It will be normal 5 Minute runs with qualifying and finals.

I believe Yellow Minipins will be the tyre but Andy Bell (Ginger Fixit) will confirm shortly.

[GRIFF55]

Cheers Nick, i'll try and make it

[c0sie]

Lee,

Gimme a shout on the day..if you race steer wheel you can lay the smack down with my Blaze if you like fella

[dan_kitty]

will try and do this meeting just need to check dates.

so on the entry form where you mark ability, is 1 best, or 10 best?

I assume you cant run 2 classes on the same day?

ta
dan

[ginger fixit]

hi dan

10 is best 1 is pull start class if you get my meaning


and you can book in for 2 classes if you like you may have to get your marshalling covered but thats up to you

thanks hope that helps Andy bell

[Lee Martin]

run both classes if u want.....#

be 2 entry fees though.....im guessin

[Chris Green]

What tyres should I be looking to buy for this? for a B4? schumacher mini pins - yellow?

[markwilliamson2001]

I would be up for this, as I currently do not have any racing planned for December. This is the school where I first started off racing at a plucky 10 years old!!

Hopefully I will be able to run 2wd, so I will be putting my name down for this meeting straight after this post.

Kind regards
Mark Williamson

I remember it well Mark - Tamiya Grasshopper wasn't it ;-) Soon followed by the Lazer ZX-R.

I used to love racing here on Wednesday's, it's also where I started in 1992 with a Tamiya MadCap - wasn't long before my Dad realised there was more to it and bought me a Kyosho Optima Mid (Custom Special) from a guy at his work

[markwilliamson2001]

Aye Nick, it was the Grasshopper, but I had an Optima Mid off Neil Gore who lived down the road from me before I got the Lazer ZX-R. That thing was a brick!! (Lazer) I think you had that last time I saw you...


I then got the XX which I had for about 3 years I think, before getting the predator and then a XX4. Had Keith Robertson's XXX before giving up before Uni.

Now finished and was back last year with the B4, but this year changed to XX4 (again, but different kit.)

See you lot in December!

Mark
