I'm looking to get a PTX for use at Ryde, are the "NEW RC4 personal transponders $105AUD" suitable for Ryde? I'm sure they are, or is there better choice?

nick,i tend to not worry bout lining up the woops from the double,i double it so i can get the front wheels on the double downramp,then square it up with the first woop,then give it a little squirt for the first whoop..i find the speed from downramping is perfect for setting up and clearing the first little woop..then full throttle from then on......easy as bra

We are waiting for a track report from El Presidente.
As soon as we hear what condition the track is in we'll let you all know

Go to Australia, they said!.

Every day is a BBQ day, they said!
Chuck another Shrimp on the Barbie he said, the shrimp would just swim away!
still you know what if this was england we'd race without a shadow of doubt, because in England if don't race in the rain then you would never race at all

If we contact the water authority and designate our track as an offical water catchment area, we will never see another drop of rain on our track.

This is why we can't race:

Ryde it like you stole it: the Ryde Drivers thread.-06022010645.jpg
Ryde it like you stole it: the Ryde Drivers thread.-06022010646.jpg

There will a few of us there doing some maintenance, but as far as racing goes it is way too wet with a big rain storm on the radar for about 3:30 or 4:00pm.

Sorry we don't control the weather you need to talk with number one guy for that.

Nick
