mk racing indoor gp 16th dec

You'd have never made the crossover wraggy, it was to far for you to jump a car It was a great meeting loved every part of it apart from not clearing most jumps because of a loose slipper in two rounds, my own fault.
As for the crossover, perhaps the option of something like chicken wire over the top for people to roll would work?? Also mass starts like at lee's place would be good.
Roll on the next one!!!

It didn't happen to me, but I saw lots of (sharp intake of breath) nearly's in the lower heats, I thought you were lucky this didnt happen....


Glad you have taken these comments on board guys.

I really appreciate it.

I would need to be something like a wire grid or possibly even tough perspex? It would be difficult to get something reasonably see through, yet strong enough to handle someone standing on it on a span that wide.

Sound like a good idea to me. I liked he crossover, but at least this way you can keep it and please those that did not like it.

And had the most hangtime ever off the netting that covered the track!!!

[Lee Martin]

only prob with that is its so low that if you did crash under it ALOT of time would be lost.......

unfortunatly its looking like we wont have another. so im glad the people that got a go on it likes it!!!

lets just put one of them do or die cross overs in...the ones without the jumps!! muahahahahha

[Nick Goodall]

Haha demolition derby style!!

We'll sort something out for next time, the big table top could probably be modified so that you could drive straight under it but then as Lee said there's then the problem that if someone gets stuck you'll be there for ages! Other possible option would be to have no landing ramp and a much larger area to land in but as i've said i still think you'll get problems for Newbies & Beginners with any sort of jumps indoors as it wasn't just the cross over i saw people crashing on, most of the crashes were on all the other sections lol

I think it would be a shame not to have a crossover I think it was one of the main reasons the track was so special.

Maybe a poll is in order for people that raced on Sun ?

[markwilliamson2001]

I think Nick has got the idea here...

Andy was right when he said this would be a talking point!!!

Wraggy - wot a legend...

[c0sie]

I think we should start a 'keep the cross-over' campaign!

Seriously though, Rich/Pidge keep doing what you do best fellas...the track at Newbury was ace, and your ideas for future jumps and bumps sound brilliant in my opinion.

As far as 'wall rides like the micros use' check out the UKMicroX site, we got a tonne of pics that might be able to help you in some way??

Roll on MK GP 2008!

How come no other one?

I reckon we should just camp at yours for a week and practice jumping on your track I got 2 weeks off after tomorrow

[Lee Martin]

wat about the wall at CML...get tht in there! LMAO!!!

Cosie, Nick is a massive part of the track design...he deserves alot of thanks...myself and nick spear headed the operation and invited ideas from others.....

Don't be so easily intimidated Lee

It was a brilliant feature and should stay. People were surprised by it and as it forced us all to have a go we were put out of our comfort zone but if gyus like you don't keep pushing progress then we still won't have anything interesting 10 years from now.

Stand by it and keep it in!

[c0sie]

My bad, im poor with all these new names lol
Sorry Nick!
But yes..flat track is for pussys..jumps all the way

[Chris Green]

I think the crossover needs to stay too.

This was my first attempt at a big 10th scale event, and I loved the jumps. I would have hated a flat carpet track.

[Nick Goodall]

It's all good people, i'm not offended Lee and i talked about tracks a lot before and hoped that with the racing we've both done over the years and not to mention the international tracks we've been to (Lee more then me) we hoped we should be able to come up with something people liked, or at least talked about for a while and i think we've succeeded on both counts to a degree.

All we can promise is that we will make sure the track for next time is BETTER whether it has or hasn't got a cross-over, it will be better (you have our word).

[markwilliamson2001]

Nick - You DA MAN!

[c0sie]

I think you should be proud really. The track layout you guys put out has got SOO many people talking and soo many people damnding more track layouts like it!
It can only be a positive thing, especially around 'our neck of the woods' where there isnt a huge amount of easily accessable 10th meets be it indoor or outdoor.

Big pat on the back for you all

[David Church]

I cant believe how many people are crying about the crossover!!!!!
Get over it you cry babies, its wasnt hard at all!!!!!!
