I'll admit the rocks are a problem, however we found if you use steel pinions then you will not have the problem of destroying pinions and / or spurs. I have been using the same spurs & pinions for the last 6 months and they will last a lot longer yet. I also check my pulleys after ever heat to negate the problem.

If you picked up the blower you could remove some of the rocks. Don't just leave it to the members to do it all. I have been to Mingara numurous times and i always get in and help so I can see no reason why any of you can't do the same.

Jeezs a bit bichy here

Maybe you guys need to draw up a Track map so we know where every thing goes then maybe more people will jump in and help and l never knew you had a blower l thought it was those big cars blowing the track off ???

And l have found the rocks are bad up there after 1 new rear belts a front Belt a side belt ,new pullys and the list goes on but hey that’s racing

So l gess all the clubs you go to they have a weakness in some areas So lets just go racing and put this behind Us all

Hey Rosco you Cheethams are Ok as pit bitches, just about got old Stevo trained. lol

But if you try steel spur gears, check all pulleys and gears for rocks between races you'll do OK, for a Mugen anyway. lol

We would like to reseal it but it will be a long term plan at this stage, but for for you mate, I'll bring it up at the committee meeting, provided you make the 'ol fella fetch for me, like last time.

Now get back to making your porno web sites.

I think the rock problem would be completely fixed if the track was coated with boral Topcoat, i spoke to steve (super pit man to rik bart) and rik bart, and they told me how to apply it.
It all sounds like about 10 hours work for 6 or 7 people, I would be glad to help, it also requires 2 coats layed down in the cooler evening air to get a superior grippy and relatively smooth finish.
I might see you there this sunday guys
Peace out.

So who is coming tomorrow.

Rocks have been strategically placed. Tow trucks have been placed on call to come and tow those pesky 1/5 th's that want to have the same piece of track.

I hope to see you all, although it may depend on what sort of a night we have as the daughter is not well. If I get enough sleep I'll be there.

Rocks, what rocks ?

sweet, is the transponder loop under the ground?
and are you going to top coat the surface first.
hope the layout you choose is not just an oval with a kink.

Answers: Yes, no and how did you guess. Oval track and drift is the go!

Nah! lol
Track layout being discussed and I believe that one of your designs is under consideration. (less the road kill and rap music lol)
