Vintage racing at York

[WHITTLER555]

Nice motor Dan!

We need to get the team sorted and off to Stewart Craig.

You will get away with running a 10x3, I did up at Teeside!

I am guessing the historic team will be:

Damian
Dan
Stu
Graham
Jim
Tom??

Apologies if have forgotten anyone!

[super__dan]

Donga was on about running your old jrx wasn't he? I think Tom is going to Worksop but don't quote me on that. Either way we'll have enough, just be busy. G will Julie be team manager and look after transponder pit stops????

Whilst I think the stealth will take more than a 12, I think it will be a decent trade off at Teesdale. Should it need it, I do have a checkpoint that could go in

[Northy]

Julie will do it do worries, but you best be ready!

Is Tom racing? What about Jimmy?

Everyone best have bullitproof cars, we have a good chance to embarase the other teams!

Does anyone know the format for the edurance, is it 3 x 2 hour or 2 x 3 hour or 1 x 6 hour?

As for the proper vintage series I have yet to get an official OK on the date change of the last meeting form the date of the indoor-finals.

I suspect it wil be March 3rd but need to get this confirmed by Phil.

[super__dan]

I thought it was a straight 6 hours, it seems straight forward enough as each member should just do say 7 minute stints, however you have to bargain in for breakages, and if you have 2, quickly in a row you might find yourself on really quickly after you finished the previous run.

I REALLY enjoyed it last year, even more than I thought I would. Team vintage do stand a good chance as well, though some of those fast 4wd brushless chaps might gang up on us.

Thanks to Julie, having someone sort everyone out really helps as that's why we won last year, Mike Cockerill was ace! Will she be dealing with entering our team?

[WHITTLER555]

I guess myself, Stu, G and Jim can bring Losi XX's just as backup, Still VINTAGEISH!

Yeah need to know who's booking us in? STU??

My Xtals are 985, 965 and 845.

Anyone volunteering??

[Stu]

Yep, I'll sort booking in.

Details please people...........

BTW, I will have the XX ready to go, mightn not be properly vintage buy, I think retro will be good enough.

[super__dan]

Mine are 675, 875 and 975.

Tom isn't running Vintage but is forming a team of his own! Actually it's not as bad as it seems, he wants setup time with both cars ahead of that Frogs Leg race he's going to, which I think is understanable.

Is anyone volunteering a car for Donga? Else it's just the 5 of us which might be pushing it. Obviously I would myself but my 2nd RC10 isn't a runner since I robbed parts off it.

[Northy]

Julie says she'll be captain.
We need more people. I can probably get a car running for someone.
Is Jimmy racing?
Tom, I can't believe your letting us down

G

[Northy]

I'll throw some names in for people for the Team......

Bradders, Donga, Ben, Gay Lowe, Collinson, Verminator......?

Anyone want to race with us guys?

[dave g]

can i run the 1/8th if i put me brushless in ????

i have a brushless system but nowt else really..

dave

[WHITTLER555]

I can bring the Losi JRX2 but not sure how long it will last???

My Losi XX will be available, just need a Futaba radio, or we could share mine as long as we keep it charged!!

[dave g]

i got a spekky that i use in my 1/8th...i dont have batteries etc..nothing that i can use in 1/10th anyways..well i do have some 2400's from my starter box

dave

[super__dan]

To be honest Graham if we have 6 that's ok, 7 is ideal. We won last year with 6. Much more than that and you start cutting down on your traclk/fun time, I don't think we need more than 7 anyway.

Donga is keen, just needs a car! Maybe he can brorrow one of the T cars (xx's ).

[Northy]

So is everybody ready for Saturday night and Sunday?

G

[super__dan]

I am virtually, car is, and one half worn set of tyres. Am acetoning off some others to make sure I have some back ups for the Sunday. Also need to convert my cells to stick not saddles for the weekend but all easy stuff for tonight.

Am well looking forward to this weekend, maybe even more so than normal racing

Everyone else ready, has Chris arragned with anyone specific for a car for Sunday? I know he's coming sat night to York so we could sort it out then worst case.

Really going to try to to destroy my motor this week!
