Racing in 2009

[John_Parker]

So, a long Christmas break, tear the xray back down to kit status and put it back together. Great, all ready for Sunday, then, doh! I can't make it on Sunday. Never mind, see you all the week after.

Tesco are out of stock of 2" masking tape, so if anyone sees any on Saturday, buy 2 rolls, just in case Martin can't find any on Saturday.

hmmmm...wil never have that special Tom Lau touch again. Shame on you. :D

[ralph]

Haha. Shame I wont be able to make it. It'll be March before my TC4 sees the track again :( .

Just to say James and I had a good meeting, some very close racing.

A good meeting with close racing everywhere it seems - I know that there are about 3 or 4 of us at the front with only a couple of seconds between us. Looking forward to the next race now I've taken out the one way and put in a spool in the front (which I've been told should be quicker), hopefully it won't take me too long to re-learn how to drive the car and hopefully my front driveshafts'll forgive me!

[Stelios Bishop]

James managed to get 27 laps in the first C final with his HPI Sports 2, and after i sorted out gearing with a 27t monster motor and reset my radio, i got 30 laps in the 1st and won the second with 31 laps. My best result lap wise for ages.
Just hope this wasn't a fluke.

Stelios

[A.Wojtecki]

Yep - some impressive lap times. I always like the quick ones - I think that is only the second time where I've got 34 laps on a track at Milton.

[John_Parker]

I've got a big sheet of 2mm yellow high-impact plastic to make some new corner markers for Over. The idea is to make some lollipop shapes that retain the tubes while discouraging drivers to drive over the actual corner marker.

Anybody fancy having a go at making up a design, let me know and you can have a chunk

[A.Wojtecki]

John - do you remember the corner markers at Chesterfield? They worked rather well I thought - just a radius of yellow plastic with a second layer of carpet on top. You could clearly see the corner, you didn't go so close to the pipes and they just slowed the car down and unsettled it rather than crashing and possibly breaking it.

[John_Parker]

I was planning on a straight copy, with some way of attaching the tubes to the disk

[John_Parker]

Touring and 1/12 tomorrow

[ralph]

As this Sunday is the last Milton meeting for summer, I'm planning on racing up at Risby, this side of Bury on some Monday nights. Went last week and the racing isn't bad. Leyton and James G usually race there. Track is a similar size to Milton but much less grippy! 2 heats of touring stock cars. If anyone else from Cambridge or near the A14 is up for going I'm happy to car share and split petrol money. :)

[ralph]

Going to Risby today. Anyone else up for it?

[Stelios Bishop]

Ralph,
Can't make this week due to working night-shift, but will go on the 17th as i start my holidays then.

[John_Parker]

Sorry I could not make it to race today. Who won what?

[John_Parker]

Anyone got any spare packs of old cells with Corally tubes to lend to a potential new racer on Sunday. May turn in to a sale!

[John_Parker]

Our last booked race meeting of 2009 is this sunday, 13th at Milton.

I'm just booking next year's races and the Centre has offered us Sunday 20th December too. Please reply here if you want to race on the 20th too and we will gauge numbers to see if it's worth booking the extra Sunday

[A.Wojtecki]

I'd probably race on the 20th - I'm afraid that I can't come this Sunday due to music commitments.

[Stelios Bishop]

I can make the 20th as i start my holidays then.

[John_Parker]

Way off thread, but 2010 Milton race dates now on the web site (http://www.crcccc.org.uk). Will now try to fill in with Over dates for 1/12th

[ralph]

I'll be up for racing on the 20th...

Might be there on the 13th, but as I'm only back home on Saturday evening I'm not yet sure if I can be ready in time.

[Russelljv]

I'll be up for racing on the 20th.

[cleanracer2006]

hello im in for the 20th and prob rhys to

[John_Parker]

Today's results now posted on http://www.crcccc.org.uk.

Come on James, tell us all about it.

I hope to book next Sunday, December 20th with the centre in the morning, watch this space

[John_Parker]

Humm, the Results Index page links don't seem to link!
If you right-click on a race and Open in another tab or Window they do work
I'll try and work out what's up

[John_Parker]

I've tweaked one file and it seems to have fixed the problem (for me at least).

So, James, tell us more about being A finalist

[Stelios Bishop]

It's working now John, is there a meeting on the 20th?

[John_Parker]

We have added one extra race on Sunday December 20th at Milton to the calendar - this was not on our original schedule.

Same times as normal - pass the message on to all and see you there

[titan bishop]

hi everyone my story is here:
my first trip into the A final was awesome want to know how well it was made up in heat 3 when concentration game worked as per usual even know i got took out at the start it took 21 sec on the 1st lap but i had power and aggression and i concentrated for the rest of the race and it was lonely race for me but that good because i would not have to dodge people and some weird thing happened to the results i was 3rd overall in the tables so i decided to use my dads pack of 4200 and 4600 and got 3rd in the A finals which was cool but aggression was a big part of my driving style with lots of concentration with a fast car

James :)

[cleanracer2006]

well done james you did well to get into the a final and when you was there you was a good clean driver.

[titan bishop]

hi everyone
leyton thx for the compliment clean racing is what that A finals are about ant it. its made up of good drivers that are fast and clean. when driving in the As it more helping for people to concentrate on there driving that what helps having that clean rounds.

James:D

[John_Parker]

Remember we are at Milton on Sunday 20th for last race of the year
