Put a bulletin board up on the Knox RC website, ta.
Maintaining a bulletin board is a non-trivial amount of effort, and most members these days wouldn't be interested in using one. It would be easier to just link directly to this thread. But given the lack of activity here, people have largely moved on from this type of forum.

I like your idea of linking to this thread.

Haven't been to the track since carpet became a permanent fixture on more than just the jumps.

Managed to crash a few times on carpet ripples, got snagged wheels in frayed carpet, got stuck under carpet when the wind lifted it up.

It's quite a 'meh' experience.

There has been a stack of track maintenance and work done recently , whole top surface scraped and redressed.

Yes there still remains carpet in some areas , but the track surface is greatly improved.

Might be worth a revisit on a club day.

Carpets are placed on track for protection on non club race days, so practice is still a bit of challenge.

Holeshots, Double Dees, Blockades seem to be the go to for a lot of the drivers, depending on track condition.

I find the Blockades work best, YMMV

Double Dees ( super soft ) can be purchased from the track on race day.

Would the club like a free TRF201 with remote, transponder, spare tyres, etc.? Maybe the club could take it in, put some life back in to it, and give it away as a booby prize? Or tuck it away to use as a demonstration vehicle?

Sounds like Knox Offroad is still going strong! I’ve been meaning to head out there and check out the track myself.
