i had some part worns does that count,they came with a nice header card, that was new

New ballistic fronts are a little big i think to use on their own, may be ok with corrisponding rear.

New Schumacher tyres aren't out there as far as i know.

[DaveG28]

I bought a set of BB's off Dom which I think were the new ones, ran well with them, not sure if the conditions were right or not tbh! The fronts were definitely too big for my wheels though, could not get them on properly at all!

I wouldn't send it there any way, as he isn't the approved KO repair agent.

Just want to say a big thanks to the Taly crew, had a really great day, lots of fun. Was only there on Saturday but really liked the track, couldnt fault it, the banking was a challenge but a really interesting feature. The jumps were great & I liked the triple a lot and it was great in that unlike Oz, you had the option to use a get out of jail free card & single any of the 3 jumps should you choose to. I know F5s cant grumble but I found the triple at Oz EXTREMELY difficult to get to grips with, never even came close to mastering it.

Transmitter collection was a great idea, maybe a transponder collection would be good too, I dont have a pit bitch & had to do linford christie impression everytime to get the marshall point. Anyway great day thanks all!

PS. Loved the club house with the sofas! Sofas make any day.

Did you use them all round Dave?

Fully understand the comments about the down ramps on the big triple 2wd and double 4wd , if we do get one next year the main objective will be better down ramps. I don’t think we have to invest into any more jumps , maybe one more small table top but nothing more.

I put my hands up and say I designed the carpet section wrong, I think it would have been better to have both sides the same hight, when I tested that area sat night with a 4wd it was dry so there wasn’t a grip issue for the small run up ..again next time it will be better.


sorry to hear a few of you where having distance issues. because of the rain that fell it left us with a few nasty puddles closer to the rostrum and working the track around them meant we went a little further out than we wanted, maybe next year we will move the rostrum, closer.

Want to thank the club for putting on the event and also intrusting me in the track design.
big thank you to cml racer oople and nortec(sorry G) for there banners
dcmc and Brain for bigging up the track all weekend
and the biggest thank you to all you drivers who made the trip down, with out you coming it would have been a good track sat in a field with no one using it.

they were taking my transponders after each race as well

I thought it was a superbly ran meeting, well done to all. But Millzy, what's with the hat dude?

PMSL!!!!

[GRIFF55]

YEEEEEE HAAAA! I think the track would have been absolutely amazing if moved up the range a bit and turned to face the banking. Then used all the natural ground contours instead of man made jumps, still use one or two of them on the flat mind. Still good as it was, no complaints here.

erm... aren't they called studs, and therefore not a ballistic minispike tyre as per the rules?

[Doomanic]

I only had BB MiniSpikes with me at the weekend, so I'm not sure what was up with Dave's tyres.
