Thought I'd say well done to the club for todays meeting. I thought it went well for a first attempt despite some teething troubles. Really enjoyed the track which flowed well. My only deal breaker was the heating or lack of. I was cold all day and struggled to drive consistanly as a result. Also not sure about the choice of control tyre as wear was quite high. Not too noticable for us doing 4wd but the 2wd boys struggled as the tyres went away. Overall a good day. PLLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEE sort some heating for the next one. Thanks again.

+1 on more heating please

Track was ace, really good fun to drive. Shame I had bad luck in the final. Tyres for me were not a problem as it was open in the short course trucks. I was running schumacher mini pins all day and they have still got plenty of life on them, but I was only running a 10.5 motor so that might have helped.

Great day for me just a shame my final came to end too early

The heating was an issue, however having this on will cause condensation on the ceiling (more so than there was already) and my charger received a couple of drops on the bonce as it was! But I do agree it was too cold. More layers next time!

I enjoyed the track, I think a fantastic job was done by all involved. The only exception being the chicken wire cross over which didn't quite work out. But the jump itself worked well - as long as you cleared it!

I'm going to be visiting the club during the week as often as I can, but due to the control tyre rule will probably not continue with the Sunday series unfortunately

It warmed up eventually Was a good chilled out day.My only gripe was the tyres in 2wd.90% of people will only want to run 1 set which just isnt enough in 2wd im afraid.

Ill be back either way

Thank you A1 racing. I had a great day (once my diff was sorted, thanks rob )


The track layout was really good and really enjoyed it. Only down side is the brown matting and this is what seams to be causing the heavy tyre wear.

The control tyre do seam to wear alot in 2wd buggys, lets hope they last another meeting or i to may have to drop out too.

All in all a very good, enjoyable day.

Many Thanks
Michael
