I have heard romour on good authority that some of the Hurstville oldies are running meca. The first name is Sam Chan. Good to see the old boys coming back maybe even Graham Thang will make a celebrity appearance. Walter the man himself will also be running.

I could be asking for it here but...

Can some give me an idea to what to expect.

Rough size of the track, lay out (technical or open).

What tyres?

Popular mod motors (8x2 or mabe a 7x2)?

Roll out?

I've neverlaid eyes on Windsor and the first time I see it will be Sunday so I'm looking for a starting point for my setup.

entries will be taken on the day now, entries will definately close at 8.15 sunday morning

track size 173m is technical with a few short straights
tyres most use sorex 32s or 36s some use foam not sure on compounds


8 or 9 t singles i think are the choice of the drivers i think
not sure on rollout on these motors. hope this helps

i doubt anyone leaving it to the last minute and cant afford (i.e too tight to pay) a $20 late fee is serious about racing. you prob wont even turn up even if the late fee is waived just for you. some people love to complain. no loss anyway.
