yea hobby habit are trying 2 sock ya $100 for a set I think. bit of a joke really, one lap and they're good to go, not like you need the runtime in hellfire or dynasty anyway.

and yes they'res discussion of a state titles. you'll hear more about it soon enough we hope.

Hey Guys.

Ok well last meeting i ran out there i used take off 27's and they were fine for the first 3 qualifiers ( i qualified 1st in dynasty) but they we too hard once it got cold.

I would suggest trying take off 22's all round, tire warmers are being uesed by a few ppl. Unless you are really serious i don't really see the point.

If they dont like foams there, do they still run 1/8th's there on Sundays? Surely the 1/8th nutters wouldn't touch rubber tyres on those rockets

What's so bad about foams anyway? No one seems to allow them...

vortex; i think the only reason they don't encourage you to run foams is cos they're such a hassle. fair enough. and hh probably have a higher profit margin on rubber tyres, too.

littlehampton race 2nd and 4th sundays. who wants to get a posse together for next sunday (the 13th)? they reckon that if there's enough of us, they can run our own heat. i'm up for it.

I'd be keen, except it would be my first RC meet as a driver, so might just come for a look-see

19T Spec seems to be getting a big go around the traps (well, in the USA), perhaps that would be the go

Or even just go mod, seeing as its a nice big, fast track

Hey crabboy. Thats how they do the lap counting out there, the press a button each time a car goes past. Its a computer program but a very basic one.
