hey all
so the track is settling in really well after the working bee. CC round will be great. we got lucky with the timing of the rebuild.
I think we need a little bit of work just to fix the 2 bad rain run off trenches and possibly some more sauce layed down in some areas and we should be ready to go.
Wont take more than a few hours I guess.
Anyone want to nominate a time - probably should be next weekend or at worst one arvo next week.

how are people placed for saturday morning at 10am. should take 2 hours.
all we will be doing is fixing the trenches that the rain has caused.
the traction is so good we will not add anything goop to the track. fingers crossed we dont get any rain and we should be good to go for sunday week.
if the weather is kind then with all the cars running on the track on sat it will have a great groove by sunday.

We're also going to need some more white marking paint before R4.
The can I had last meet was almost finished.

Hi guys,
Looking at getting a FT T4 very soon (B44 seems like too much maintenance), any suggestions as to what gearing should i start with using a 17.5T?
I've been seeing gearing such as 78/29-31 on other fourms.
Also could i use a "Speed Tech turbo Hub" as i am on the B4? Or should i use the slipper
Regards col

The rut after the back straight double is one of the areas Ben is talking about fixing, along with the rut just after the stump corner. Trying to get some artificial turf to cover to stop erosion there.
Guys I can't make it this Saturday, have to work out west.
Ag pipe is up at Bunnings, out the back near the saw bench, you have to look hard!! Will need a few more anchor bolts too.
Also as MH mentioned need to put something unside the Table Top turn to stop cutting that corner.
As Ben said saucing probably won't be needed, but a little water might help with the plating (it's good now, just hope the plates don't get samller!!)

You can use the Speed Tech hub for the truck as well, but you won't be running anything smaller than a 72T spur anyway which AE. I think the Speed Tech hub came about for people needing to run the Kimbrough style spurs?

Will have 9 cars/trucks to tinker with after the T4 and too many spare parts building up for each, becoming insane (love it). At least the T4 has many compatable parts to the B4.
I thought the speed Tech hub came about because of the gearing requirements of the 17.5 in the B4 etc.

Sorry guys, I can't make it on Saturday. Keen to pitch in, but can't that day.
I know people don't love this track, and it is a bit silly. You have to respect the drivers doing this quad. Driving away from themselves, 1.5 meter run up.
St Ives. Quad.
All I'm saying is we need this last word, to finish the line of blissful Off Road poetry that is the St Ives track.
