MID WEST 2WD OFF-ROAD REGIONALS

Hi all, As the Hinckley Club has been selected to hold one of the 2WD Mid West Off-Road Buggy Regionals this Year(Sunday 24th May 2009 - Round 2), I thought that it would be a good idea to let everyone know, who's unfamiliar to the Buggy scene, of how to Enter each Round of the Series. The Mid West ...

Re: Buggy Season starts in May

What about covering the Ramps in Glue, spreading Sand allover them.......once dry, wipe off the access Sand leaving a Grippy Surface! 8) What about using some fairly thin Sheets of Wood(possibly around 10mm/1/2 Inch thick), screwed down on top of each other in a Spiral/Pack of Cards effect, creating...

Re: dale question about buggy's???

I agree with Golf Ball Wacker Guy2 :D Having an Indoor 'Off-Road' style Heat with Ramps/Obstacles could damage the Carpet, if a Buggy takes a Jump wrong & lands it upside down on the Carpet, there could be some rippage! :oops: If there was enough intrest for a Buggy Heat Indoors(just on Flat Car...

Re: Testing buggys tips and help

I'd also be up for it :D It would be the perfect opportunity for us all to get together & make some Decisions about any extra Track Markings required, Modifications to the Ramps & Table Top, as well as getting some ideas together on how to make some Rumble Strips & required Measurements ...

Re: BORED ON TUESDAY NIGHTS?

A couple of us from the Hinckley Club ended up giving the Huncote Club a try last Tuesday night & found it great fun! All the Guys there were friendly & the Racing was nice & relaxed. We even had the option of alternating between our Touring Cars & Mardaves in each of the Rounds, as ...

Re: SUMMER 2009 ELECTRIC BUGGY RACE CALENDER/SEASON

Hi Dale, I think that we had a really good first Buggy Season last year, considering it was only organised a couple of weeks before we actually did it. Having the new Ramps & Table Top towards the end of last Summer also improved things.......eventhough we need to make some Modifications to them...
