I'm no Shortcourse racer lol Infact...I've never raced a Shortcourse before
 I race 1/10th Off Road, and just thought it would be cool to give SC a fair trial... It's just nice for us to have a race meeting that's not so strict etc... It was the Off Road Nationals last weekend so this weekend is going to be nice and relaxed  I will sort my elecs out tonight, ready for tomorrow, and I will be sorting shock oils etc in the morning once I get there, dependant on track conditions, weather and layout  Only raced at Silverstone once before, at the end of season finals last year, was very, VERY bumpy! and a couple of variances in grip through the lap. Can't imagine it being that noticable with SC though to be fair lolWe'll see!!...

Hi Shaun
I have put 35wt oil in the gambler but it still feels a little soft Should I go heavier do you think?

If it feels soft, then possibly go up on the oil.
Best thing to do is to see how it feels on track then work from there. I still have 1000cst in my durango shocks from ardent but I'm gonna leave it in and see if it feel ok tomoz before changing anything. lol

Eddie, Have you not got a generator?
Of course, I'm assuming we are OK to run generators tomorrow?  As Telboy said, don't worry about oils until you are trackside tomorrow, You can never guess on oils as track conditions, track layout, air temp, track temp etc... are all a mystery till you get there lol I would wait till after practice mate then take it from there, If you want any advice/help, just come and find us

no genny but got ample 12v battery which me and Ant will be using
was more to run the portable fridge for beer purposes should be a laugh, from the pics it appears you can park next to the track which would be better for viewing etc

You can set up your gazebo and table etc right next to the track, but if I remember correctly, you have to park your car in the field opposite...

Hi All,
Just wanted to say a big thanks to all those that did turn up for practice today. There has been a change to the parking, I do apologise for the changing situation, however these are due to circumstances out of our control. although there will be a marshall to advise as you arrive. but we can now pit and park next to the track, so this will help with spectating and less time needed between heats. The track was hot and had high grip today, but most people found a tyre to suite. Due to there not being a great deal of shade at the track I advise everyone to take some kind of cover for yourselves. There will be a limited supply of cold drinks tomorrow.

To be fair, looking on the entry list on the website, we are going to need the gap between heats made longer to ensure people are charged lol
Even a gap between rounds looks possible at the minute, as on the website it has 20 - ish names that have booked in lol

I'm glad we can park next to track, my car is fully loaded and will take me a fair few trips to carry it all to the track!
Got a fair amount of spares by the looks of it, deinitely no Durango stuff as none of us run them yet, a good selection of SC10 and Blitz stuff.. but haven't been through it so wait till tomorrow, look for the A1 Racing Club Banner and you will find me, but if i'm busy with racing then please be patient, as said am doing this to help anyone that i can but its a last minute favour. On the otherhand... gave the Losi 4WD SCT a blast today, seems quite good on its base set up, very balanced and certainly flys well compared to other 4wd SCT's i've driven so hopefully we will be able to get airtime! standard tyres work well on our sun baked Astroturf so fingers crossed for similar tomorrow. can't wait now, lets get the SCT race season started and make a good fun championship popular

Great days racing!
Really enjoyed the battles in the finals. I was working on my car all day so didn't get loads of photos but I will put some online asap.
