Bury metro this weekend

[Stu]

Maybe we need to get our asses over for a couple of friday afternoon practice sessions in the spring, just spend a couple of hours running over that bit of track time-after-time.

i think the jump shud be made smaller slightly, more mellow and made into a longer single jump, so its more of a tall hump, than a jump lol

either way, no matter how much practice you get for this jump its always going to be inconsistant

[Chrislong]

The mk1 doubles were a bit random at the end, as the contour of them wasn't consistent accross the track. I had them mastered and loved them to be honest, so I was sorry to see them go like I know Woody was, but the majority vote was for them to go.

I think it is the frost which changes the contour of the track under the astro? and introduces the inconsistency, but I know Bury has addressed a roller which should return everything to smoothness. (?)

The new doubles look ace, and much more consistent than before. Well done guys. I am looking forward to running there, but as you know - I don't do winter, and little (for me) to be learnt racing with cold thumbs and wet feet. (ok, yeah im soft).

Leave them there. Like RIch said they really are not hard. It only took me a while cos i was forever sodding about on them. Now its cool. The jump at the moment is just a practise jump really. Once January comes then all the jumps will be done correctly. Im gonna be down there any weeks i can and we will sort them out. By the time the national comes around they will be cool. Trust me!

hope they are ok by next summer, buggy racing is expensive enough without having to change parts every run.
i just think it needs making a lil smaller. it flings you into the air in all sorts of directions at the moment

Maybe more people will come and help with the track in the new year so every body will be happy. Its not very good with 2 people working. If you want an imput to the track please speak to some one AT the track as well. We may be able to do something about it. As they say, many fingers make light work. If any one wants to come and help then please keep an eye on the Bury's web site for the dates for track building.

I am hoping to help with the club this year after working back in the Northwest since september.
To me part of the hobby is being involved in the club.
I cant wait to race thru the summer this year after a very long absence of 1/10th racing.

Hopefully I can get the Traxxas set up right and show all how to take the double jump in style (if it remains)
