Just a hint for any drivers, check with the Race Controller BEFORE you enter otherwise you may have to sell your RC car, 1:1 car, your house and anything else if it goes belly up and a busted foot.


You cant be serious AUSSIE BOB these guys have a great track and do a great job keeping the doors open for people to have a good time and all you can do is question insurance and have a dig at TRACK SUPPLIED MARSHALS for not wearing shoes.hmmm that carpet on the infield corners is pretty dangerous stuff.maybe we should get them to wear saftey vests also and while we are at it hard hats will work great to.lol

Jason,Ash and Tee hold your heads high this place is great and getting more popular every week 25+ sprintcars already competing at oversteer makes alot of other racing classes seem kinda small.I guess oval isnt boring and easy.

Great pics also

Default Yes I am

Oversteering, read again and I was not having a go at the track, to the contrary. I was saying that marshelling in bare feet went out prior to the first Associated 1/12 electrics and Frogs. Even if they are suplied, dont you, and with that name no doubt you are the center, think of their welfare and feet.
In regards to vests, they ARE used by some clubs.
By the way, if they are "employed" or "supplied" by the centre for wages or goods, maybe Workcover Investigators could pay a visit and I think they might make comment on that as well and inspect their White Cards. But then again, who gives a flying rats about workers anyway, sorry "Marshells".
I was only pointing it out for you as like i said, great track and racing.
PM me if you want to know anything further in regards to Safety Issues and again, thanks for the photos as I think it is time to get one of those sprint cars.

Bob makes a very good point. Marshall's NEED shoes. Bare feet simply is not an option at any kind of race meeting. Its not just insurance or liability, its common sense.

Default yep

Thanks BORMAC, I just said that in a few more words, but agree 100% with you. Its not my feet but there is no way I would marshell without shoes, I have seen the results of injuries and feel weeeesie at the time. Plus she is not a bad looking sort.

Relax guys its all good. The track marshall choose not to wear shoes that particular race. It was her choice. She volunteered to marshell that race and new all the risk involved in marhselling with no shoes. Of course it's common sense to marshell with shoes and we do marshell with shoes.

Default laps

Getting back to the race cars, how many laps can they do before fineito. This is 100 laps and they started to slow but have you taken one at race pace to the end. How many metres a lap, we have to incorperate the track into the new Coffs track.
Thanks
Bob
