Re: HINCKLEY CLUBS BUGGY MEETING THIS SATURDAY - 28TH APRIL

Hi All, I have to agree that to a certain extent, the weather has played a part in the less than ideal start to the Buggy season. And, we can still turn it around. That being said, how can we blame the weather for the container re-site?? We have had months to arrange that!! Come on!!! Then there is ...

Re: HINCKLEY CLUBS BUGGY MEETING THIS SATURDAY - 28TH APRIL

Good Morning All, Looking at the weather forecast for the weekend, It appears as though there is no panic to get the stairs in place.!! Anyway, I have made some enquiries and contacted Mark Stevens and we have arranged a plan 'A' and a plan 'B'. Plan A is; A friend of mine has a Land Rover with a 3t...

Re: HINCKLEY CLUBS BUGGY MEETING THIS SATURDAY - 28TH APRIL

Ben, The steps needed to be removed in order for the container to be moved. Otherwise we would have had the weigth of the steps supported on just the platform at the top of the steps. This platform is only welded in position at the seam / join. (Not bolted as we were not allowed). It therefore relie...

Re: HINCKLEY CLUBS BUGGY MEETING THIS SATURDAY - 28TH APRIL

Sounds like a plan. Sadly, I know how heavy those steps are, and how poorly supported the platform for the steps is as we were 'not allowed' to put in some diagonal cantilever supports!!! I therefore will not be helping put the steps in place. especially with the ground for the legs to sit on being ...

Re: Touring Cars - 17.5t - NO TIMING?

Hi Jordan, I think the tyre of choice at the minute is the Sorex 28 with the JB insert, using LRP/Nosram Carpet Additive.........although I know a couple of people have tried the Rheinard Carpet and CS High Grip Stuff. Personally, I will be going with the Sorex Tyres and LRP additive for my first in...

Re: Newbie

Hi, On the model shop front, I believe Eric is still going (Concept Racing) trading from Punctillio Modelspot in Hinckley. His contact details should be available on the forum. He can usually get just about anything you are after but not sure how much he keeps in stock. Alternatively, as Richard Sai...

Re: 2011 race class's

Coming Back?? Did it ever leave?? As it stands, I plan to race 13.5t + timing. I also have the equipment to do 10.5t with or without timing though. I'm not sure when I will be making my return to indoor racing as the last outdoor national is not till the 17th / 18th. If anyone else wants to confirm ...

Re: Important announcement

We could not possibly think about it any earlier as the container position was only finalised Monday.....and the container delivered Tuesday. Again, you would know this had you been involved??? Before even considering a ramp of any kind we need approval / agreement from the rugby club as they plan t...
