Default 10th on the Dirt at Coventry?
Hi all, Coventry Model Car Club is looking at running a 10th 'Dirtmasters' on a shortened version of the 1/8th scale track. This is slated to occur at the beginning of next season, when the dirt track has been freshly prepared and the 8ths haven't had a chance to chew the surface up!!

I have run my B4 round the track and it's a lot of fun, if I can get round anyone else will be able to!!

I would like to know if anyone is interested in such a race meeting and what people would want from it?

Sounds good if a control tyre is used

I'd join the club if you did. Calibers would be a good control tyre if you needed one.

Get a roof put over it, then it would be all weather! :-). Seriously though, I would if I still did 10th buggy.

Sounds great! Would it be a series or just a big one off event?

Right now it would be a one off event, the calendar gets very full over the summer so putting a series on would be tough.

I've bought and tried a few different tyres so we are getting an idea of what works, tyre wear also doesn't seem to be an issue

Right now it would be just 2wd and 4wd, purely for a numbers reason. Trucks already get to play anyway

How about tyres that have been nominated from previous euros? I'm sure people who have been before would be willing to part with/ sell them?
Count me in for a one off event FO SHO!
