A great effort today fellas, but the weather never stopped us. Thanks to Neil, Simon, Timmey, Will, and Luke that helped out. Also to Bob for passing by and cutting us a set of keys.
We certainly put in a show, levelled off part of the track added a table top, built a triple and included a dropoff. We also built that insane burm that will be finished of within a few weeks hopefully.
There is no doubt at Knox, we have the members to see things through.

OFF ROAD is LIVE AND KICKING BABY.



This Saturday we will carry out some more work and finish off a few things, so who is willing come and help, here is your chance

Cheers

BillyG

Yeah its looking pretty good, Casino Kid.


By the way, the Razor copperhead, f suxs nuts. I will ask for my money back. I cant believe they named it the best gaming mouse in the world, designed by gamers for gamers. Yeah hey only if you play poker or that mines game in windows. These guys were on drugs when they designed this thing.

Thumbs up KNOX as we know it is dead..........

Today, Unterscarführer Timmey, Oberscharführer BG and I hastily and efficiently provided the finishing touches to my 'Master Plan'.



Two drop off's, a sizable set of triples, refurbished tabletop and 8 moguls is what racers will be greeted with tomorrow.



Bring on the Vic's!!!!!!

A few fine adjustments to the triples will be needed (I have never had to marshall so many times in one race in my life, it almost killed me !!), it is a start anyway. The design of the triples need to be so there is no need for any marshalls having to watch and cross over other tracks as it is very hard to marshall them and not get in the way of the other drivers sight of their cars. You need them to be so there will be no need for marshalls at the triples at all or only on the very rare occasion.

Ozracer,

I agree. The jump was designed so as to provide a good launch, but you can't tell untill cars start jumping!!!!

Hopefully we will have 40M3 of soil in the next few days to get that far corner finished as well.

With 6 weeks untill the Vic's there is a lot to be done!!!

Hi guy's
the triple's were a bit extreme, but it was a start and this is why we work thing's out, Neil and I were both watching the jump during racing and.... we agree it was a buggy mash up.....We'll do a bit of fine tuning and hopfuly we'll sort it out.
Look's like the mogules were a hit and all of you had no worries blasting through them.
When we get some more dirt we'll fix up the far corner to a nice sweeper for max speed and maybe add anther table top somewhere for a bit more action.
Thank's every one for being patient at the triple's,and we'll get on to it ASAP.
see ya timmey

Now that I can clear the triples with one jump in stock, you want to take them away

LOL at Peter, took a few laps to get the triples right, I thought the bloke was going to pass out

Cheers

Will,

Because the track was damp/muddy in the morning I geared down. The changes we've made seem to make for less open thottle sections, so I kept it geared down for the afternoon. Worked well.

19/87 was the combo. Ran very cool.

I personally race a FT B4 and yes atm they seem to be the best car to have but its also down to sriver preffernce, but if you are looking for a car thats easy to tune the B4 is easy to get. I personally when im not in hospital am at all club days and i am willing to help out any one with setup with cars, motors and all of that.

And i can say the same for mnost of the people that race at knox, we are all willing to come and help out.

The B4 doesnt tend to break, if you get any spares, get some front and rear arms, front shock tower, front bulkhead and rear chassis brace.

Hope to see you soon

I agree with it all dude keep up the good work, ah is anyone in for a new track in northern subs.
