Correct!!!!!! strat out by trying to stay down the middle of the track and gradually build up from there if you go out and try to compete you will only wreck your car or someone elses. Everyone will help out a guy and be patient if you are new and trying to improve your driving, however if you go out there inexperienced and try to race and thus cause mayhem you will not be real popular. I dont want to discourage you please come down! but be mindfull of your car and others and you will have a great day. I think what you will find the first time you come out is that your car will need some tuning to get it to handle, again any experienced guy down there will give you time if he sees that you have the right attitude. good luck dude

When you register your name, tell Steve (organizer) that you are new (beginner) and he will put you in the beginner heat.

reckless,

No, the competition is not as fierce as you think it is.................its only a club day.....you're there to have fun and learn from the other guys.....not to try and compete with the experienced drivers...

Relax dude, it's only a club day......nothing too serious.....

Just turn up, you'll be placed in the appropriate heat & you will have a blast. There will be plenty of people around to help you out, most people know that you have to start somewhere.

Make sure you take a table & chair.

ReckLess just look out for a guy that looks like Burt Reynolds from "Smokey and the Bandit", goes by the alias of Ray. If you stay away from him you will be fine.

No need to bring food as they have a pretty good canteen, if your real hungry ask for the Besercoe meal with upsize already included.

RecLEss all jokes aside, when you enter to race on Saturday ask Steve the man behind the computer to point me out (Simon Cox) and I will answer any questions you have throughout the day and guide on the right steps.

Hey reckLEss,
I was in your shoes almost one year ago. I also started out racing a stock V One S - I have since upgraded to a better OS motor but just recently broke the conrod so Ive gone back to the trusty old stock V One S motor until I can afford to get a new motor but am running 20% through it, I wont recommend putting 20% through it if you want to preserve the motor!
After many trial and errors with setup I have the following (you may or may not like this setup but Ive found its not bad for the track, )
- I run 42's on the front and 40's on the back but see which tyre selection you're comfortable with
- 1 degree toe out on the front
- 2 degrees to in on the back
- 2 degrees neg camber on the back
- 2 clips on either end for the caster I use this instead of camber (Im not sure how many degrees that is) i.e. the clips are the same width on the front/back of the hing pin (I think its called a hing pin)

My advice to you is to take it easy, learn the racing line and get to know how your car handles. As mentioned by the other guys do not be concerned with the better/faster drivers/cars, once you know the track you can keep up with them during the S's and mid section of the track but they will get you down the straight, I do make the B finals and made the A's once with the stock V One S motor so car setup and driver ability goes a long way!

I wont be coming down this saturday unfortunately but I do attend every race meet so Im more than willing to pass on some knowledge. Beleive me, every meet is a learning experience, its amazing how much you can learn by the more experienced drivers.

Just need time...
