You've made a nice job of it Jon...I look forward to seeing it in action in the Retro class.

Hi Dale,

I'd loved to race, but I'll be in France on holiday. I'll spread the word on the TC forum...

Cheers

Hi Ben,

As far as I'm aware, Andy Lappin is a Senior.

Cheers Justin, I think the track features are fine for vintage buggies with the exception of the large ramp (as Richard said) because the approach angle is a bit steep. Perhaps when the new tabletop and other ramps arrive, they'll be no need to use the steep ramp quite so much. Might be an easier so...

Following on from Dean's post... The track layout was excellent...thanks to everyone involved in setting it out. Especially liked the doubles and the complex of bends leading into it. Thank you also to everyone who participated in the retro class...it was good spirited racing and worked well as both...

Hi Warren,

Glad to hear you found the problem...knew it had to be something simple.

Cheers Dale,

Dale's head count for buggy racing this summer has prompted me to up-date the post. I've got some vinyl stickers made up that I'll be giving out to drivers of the Retro class. Here's a pic of my Frog with Retro Racers stickers. I'd be grateful if those interested in running in the Retro class could ...

Hi Dale,

I'm running 4WD and of course the Retro class.

Andy Lappin is also running 4WD and Retro.

Richard Dobson and Matt Hyde are running Retro.

I've had interest from about six guys from the Tamiya Club in running Retro.

Hi Liam,

I've just sent you a PM further to our chat on Saturday...

Cheers

James

Hi Rich...

Yes I think that was Gazza...

Unfortunately I don't think 2S will fit in a pan car...but that might be the way forward for Mardave...certainly would be quick. I remember running the original mini stock outdoors at Coventry GEC Sports Ground with 7.2V packs...great fun.
