Hi everyone, on the off chance i went to watch a round of the Schumacher indoor offroad racing and instantly wanted a car of my own so i went out and bought a B4 ready to run, i thought i could upgrade it as i get better. I am from Chesterfield and ive been looking for a club in my area on the net, to not much joy i might add. So i was considering giving up and keeping my car as a shelf Queen! I have been putting a few upgrades on it like anodised parts and carbon parts so it looked cool on the shelf, anyways, i have put it back together and the rear shocks are not working properly, when i compress them they will not return to their original state, any ideas would be appreciated!
To cut a long story short, like i said i was going to give up but then i came across this site and it is a well of info for some1 just starting out like me.
One more thing, does anyone know of any tracks i can practice on, cos my skills are not what you would call silky!!! - been to Deerdale over Mansfield way, that track swallowed my B4

Thanks for any help
