Racing - Sunday 6th Feb 2011

[Dudders]

I've got Pink Rear Spikes but not the front, but I have a load of other tyres so it'll be suck it an see.

EPR is knocked on the head for me due to family stuff but the AM meeting will suit as dandy at present.

Will still be a last minute decision but at least I'll be ready

If booking in at 9, what about track open time?

Also, is this an AM meeting? What's the start time and apprx finish?

Last time it was properly wet I ran Schumacher yellow mini-spike rears and staggers on the front, they seemed to work really well for me. Don't have a huge selection, so there may well be a better option I don't know about!

Most get there for 8

[mikeyscott]

Track should be ok to practice from 08:30, maybe 08:00. Depends what help we get from members getting ready

Aka putting marshal cones out and giving the track a tidy etc.

[mikeyscott]

Many thanks to those that attended today, race results are now online.

Great battle with Lee throught the day again

[jamiekerr14]

Yeah thanks to Everyone there today, that ran the meeting and raced. Was great fun even though the weather wasn't amazing! Still had a blast, and trying to give Steve a run for his money! Next time I hope!

Cheers guys!

What setup did you have on your Durango? Were you running the weight kit?

Starting to like my Durango more with each run.

What option parts you running?

Changed the o rings on the diff?

I'm on running a v3 7.5.

Cheers to rob for the cometry.

Roll on the all day meetings from spring!!

[jamiekerr14]

Um.. well tbh it was a tad harder in the front than I would have liked as ran it at Taplow for the 1st time friday night.

Ran this setup: Minus Diff oils at taplow it was on rails

http://www.team-durango.com/pdf/setu...n_16_01_11.pdf

Same as above minus:

Font Shocks Ghea 2 1.3
Rear Shocks Ghea 3 1.4 -Fitted last night
Diffs Think 10-7 but not 100% sure on that one


Front Alu Susp holder's
TD Alu Skid plate
Treseary Alu servo arm
Atomic Carbon Tower's -Just preference
Schumacher studs
JConcepts balljoints
Rest is stock R

But yeah, would have probably gone to 35w in the front tbh- ran 35-30 last time I was down.

[mikeyscott]

Hi,

I'm running the ghea pistons and AC towers too. Need to order the servo saver, where did you order it from?

32.5 all round on mine, going to take the rear weight off as it's not helping with low traction.

Be nice for a few more rangos running

[jamiekerr14]

Um M2D shop -it was instock when I ordered it -which is never.. and came about 5 days later. Costs a fortune, but worth it in the long run tbh. Yeah I find the skid helps keep the rear more planted.

[mikeyscott]

Cheers

[wylie]

Ordered mine from here http://www.positivonegativo.com/tien...prod_2059.html
cheaper than other shop and took about a week

Cheers Tony. You're running a Speed Passion GT Pro in your Durango aren't you?

[wylie]

Yes, its a tight fit, i'm not the neatest with my electrics but i shoe horned it in there, you will need a small receiver though, I use Sanwa's own DSS system.
Wish i was there today (dam work)

[SteveB]

Well done to all for a good days racing, weather was a little dull, but with Rob on the case with commentory during the finals, was much appreciated

Will be given it a mis next week as work I must.

But an extra week to strip and rebuild all the cars I do have

Thanks to Jamie and Rob for some great racing

See you all in 2 weeks

Steve

[mikeyscott]

Indeed, great racing

Shame I'm not fast enough for the A

I won't be there either, wife's birthday!

[Nige]

Whilst looking at the 4WD A final results last night I was reminded of this tune which is played regularly at the moment on Amazing Radio ---> http://amazingtunes.com/users/moon_v...es/tunes/43225 Click the green play icon to listen to it for free.

Had a great time yesterday - can't make next weekend, so see you all in a couple of weeks time

[simoncrabb]

Great day, the damp didn't dampen our spirits. The track is AMAZINGLY clean when damp! ACE!

The track is great, it does need to be wider, the area is massive, so a 3m wide track will EASILY fit. TORCH has definitely got the potential to have a national standard track on it's hands!

Same time next week? Yes please. And then a trip over the Clanfield to see the 8th boys in the afternoon.

[mikeyscott]

Re features and width there are plans.

Remember the guys did a stunning job get it back ready for racing.

[M.Andrews]

Sounds like I missed a good days racing!. Ordered some parts for my slipper and didn't and hasn't arrived yet. Hope to be up and running next week!
