How is the Vintage 1/10th off road scene?

[Medders]

very cool !


I'll dust down the 1700 sce's again as well, although I seem to remember dumping in one heat last time

[HKP]

Arse.. York is a bit far for me at such short notice.. (I'm down in the South East corner with Welshy40). Could we maybe arrange more southerly one in addition to York?

[Northy]

We'll be running a championship at York over the winter.

I imagine these are the same

Cheers. If I get these I may be persuaded to come out of retirement after 17 years!

[niggs98]

it is a long way tom but im thinking of having a go for at least one of them with my new (1986 it was new anyway) toy and you cant get much more south east than me so im sure we can either arange a convoy or all bundle into a car to cut down on costs for all

Jeez! when I gave up racing, you would dump on a 17 turn most guys in modified were running either 21's or 19's.

Does that mean I am officially old

Sounds awesome Nathan.. I'd be up for that, I guess Welshy40 would be too. Maybe we can discuss further via PM or a new topic? Anyone got a 7 seater car??

[terry.sc]

I might be up for the odd one (it's a 5 hour round trip for me!) and have some others that might be persuaded to come. As for what I can run, take your pick from Scorpion, Ultima, Ultima Pro, Frog, Meteor, Cougar, RC10, Hotshot, Optima, Optima Mid, Optima Mid Custom, Radiant, XL, XLS, Procat

[trekkerkk]

I ran 1400scrs against scrcs and geared on 9to1 with a corrally 10d and made it until the last lap when i would dump big time, but still managed to finish third in the welsh champs so cant grumble. Good bet tho. hehehe. I may be tempted, when is it?

[HKP]

I know.. we'll all squeeze in your Ford Ka Welshy!!

Once we sort out the details we'll start a thread regarding carting all us southern shandys 'oop north for a race..

North V. South.. I know who my money's on

[Welshy40]

hehehe well im more tempted on the worksop events at the mo but the york may come into it, but we need to have a serious chat next week tom on this when we meet up. Hell for you lot here should know that if you can make it at worksop then your set up here will be half decent on carpet.

Maybe I could arrange it so the Batley meeting was on a Sunday after the York one on the Saturday? Could be better for those travelling.
When do you expect to start the vintage series guys??

[Col]

First race last year started on 25th Nov. As far as I'm aware York club has not decided on it's calander for the winter yet.

[AndyF]

How is Batley Buggy Club doing? I notice they have no events scheduled on their website. When I used to go 17ish years ago we used to race every two weeks with std finals down to J and K and some modified finals too.
