Cheers Raymond. It's a "k" by the way. Mark with a "kicking k"

[Ray Mac]

Sorry about the "Kicking" bit, but oldies get confused when there are two of you with the same name, and different endings.
Never mind, eh!

[nobby]

hello gentlemen (and my old mate ray)
when does the club start back up after the new year?

i'v been sorting a more up to date touring car for the club.
so if i'm home i should be racing

now i'll sit back, and wait for mr richardson's sarcastic comment's

[Ray Mac]

Seasons greetings Chris, Caroline and family.
First meeting in January is 9th, 7o'clock doors open. Early birds get preference, for what ?----you've just got to wait and see .

[cheapskate]

I'll be back on the 9th with the buggy
had to pinch some bits off the tc to get it fully up and running.
will one lipo do me all night with a bit of a charge?
i went to charge my lipo for the buggy and i had managed to leave it switched on since the last time i used it, ive read that you can try and charge them on nimh setting to get min voltage back in then balance charge them back on lipo setting but sounds a bit dodgy-
might take it into work and try it- then if it does blow up its not making a mess of my house

[Ray Mac]

Hi Mal, good to see you're coming back even if it is the "Dark side" (just kidding buggy fans). You know all are welcome, No discrimination at our club! As for using 1 li-po all night, I think it will depend on your gearing and how many runs you do before charging, not forgeting to have it cool enough to recharge. Do you use "stick or saddle" packs. I have Jason's stick packs (2) if they are any good to you. Got my own Li-po's now. Let me know if you want them charging up for the 9th.
See you there Mal.
Ray.

See you there Mal.
Ray.

i use stick packs Ray with the 4mm tube connectors.
the lipo's have to be 24mm in height or the belt will rub on them-
my two 5900 lipos are too big.

Mal

[Ray Mac]

Right Mal!, Jason's li-po's are 4000's, are 24mm. height or thickness, connectors are around 4mm. and fit standard Corrally conectors.
It's no problem charging them. So will you want them for the 9th.
Giza clue, see ya there then. Ray.

[cheapskate]

They sound about right ray.
if you wouldnt mind giving them a charge and bringing them along that would be great thankyou

[cheapskate]

Is there deffo going to be someone there to run race control on the 9th with Mark and Paul both being away?

[Ray Mac]

Mike West and / or Andy Scowens (apologies if I've spelt your name wrong, Andy) could be setting the computer up.
Sure I'll charge those batteries for you.

[lazysurfer]

Dont forget lads, AGM on Monday 16th after track setup, all welcome but only members eligible to vote. Free nights racing for the remainder of the night after the meeting - as in no charge for the night, NOT a free-for-all :-)

[Ray Mac]

OK lads, so the first meeting of 2012 is over. I think it went quite well, so, a big thanks go to Mike West and Andy Scowen for getting the track and computer sorted. With a total of 3 qualifiers and 2 finals for 3 heats (2 TCs and 1 Buggy) not bad. 15 runs and we still got out before 10o'clock. Let's see what the AGM brings for this year.
See you all next week with Mark and Paul back from their winter break.
Ray.

[cheapskate]

A cracking turn out again- not sure on the numbers, im sure our newly re-elected chairman Mark can tell us better.
Managed a full nights racing with the SXII and loved every minute of it
the power of the darkside is just too strong to resist
see you's next week

Mal

[littlened]

I am looking to start racing again, and I can only do every couple of Sundays, I might do seaham one week and you guys the next.

[lazysurfer]

Well we had a good turn out for last nights AGM, 24 on track I think for the free racing after and quite a few more not racing but there for the meeting.
Very little to report other than membership increasing form £23 to £24 - this includes BRCA membership which has gone up £1 since last year hence the increase.
We’ve agreed to look into putting on a regional buggy event subject to finding a suitable venue at a suitable time, ideally where another event was on at te same time so if any of you know of any planned events, preferably but not necessarily motorsport related which may be happy for us to gatecrash with a race meeting, let Mike West know. I’ll enquire about a couple of VW shows likely to be run again.
Committee members were re-elected as last year with James taking the 5th member role in the new position of junior members representative.
Don’t forget you need BRCA membership paid within the next 3 weeks to be allowed to race - insurance requirement!
See you all next week where we’ll hopefully have a bit more grip and I’ll hopefully have rebuilt my car!
