Thats not surprising from one of australia's fastest drivers. I'm sure both he and jake could get down to 14.5 or better if they gave it their best. But the guys in 10.5 went slower... even than they did on tue night which seems odd. I have been told the track is faster on sundays.

Anyway make sure you pack some speed when you come down ACT next weekend.

The track was very clean on Tuesday night... the winds were quite strong and cleaned the track better than we can with the blower and vac. Cooler temps may also prevent motor fade.

LOL how about we add a few jumps and a water feature?

We have held state titles on tracks that do sub 10sec laps. It may be in the rules but dosen't mean it has to be followed. There is also a rule about a fence surrounding the racing surface yet that is never followed either. Mayb we should just cancel all racing as virtually no track meets requirements.

Hiroshi told me Den D came up with a super technical but still awesome layout that used all the black stuff. I haven't seen it but that'd have to be a 30s lap or so

FX2. I don't think I'm doing it right though because I'm never quicker with it

FXII gives steering at the expense of stability. Only good when your car is planted which is comon with sorex. It can also be used to enhance another goop by using for a short time then cleaning and adding a layer of something else. As far as goop goes its hard to go past Trinity tire tweak or Muchmore Z1. Both have the same effect with some minor differences. There is more in how you use it though than what you use so you need to figure out what works best for you.

Don't forget to pay the entry fee to the club and follow the procedure.

At the worlds they are doing sub 11 second laps in 1/12 Scale (looks like AE is the car to beat).

We could always run the track though the club, past the pokies, into the TAB area and across the bowling green .

Tom, when are you coming racing??????

Got to say I realy like the look of that track.

When do we start testing new layouts for the next point score?
