356speedster Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 The second SCX Classic Rally Proxy event is approaching fast, and the action takes place the coming weekend, so get ready for a spectacular event on a even more spectacular rally track in the land of beautiful farmland, fairy tales, excellent beer and open minded women - Welcome to Denmark! Or as we say every time we visit our neighbor country: "it's good to be a Norwegian in Denmark" Details about the track, stages and how we will do the reporting, etc.. will be revealed soon, but to really appreciate the time, effort and creativity put into this huge track that fills up a Danish barn, you have to read the through the whole 250 post long build thread on the UK forum. Words can not describe this track, so lets just look at the pics and videos while we wait for the cars to safely land in Denmark and the rally action to start What else is there to say... ..let's go rallying!

Ember Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 What a track!!!! OMG! Haven't got to the end of the thread yet, but there's some great ideas there. Just one question, how much of the original plastic is left? The removal of the plastic track bed and replacement with metal mesh, or plaster/spakfiller or whatever takes the fancy... interesting. The idea and the execution is just amazing. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

The rally will start tomorrow (Saturday, European time) and times will most likely be posted live on the SCX forum while the stages are driven, just like in the first event. I'll confirm the exact starting time as soon as I know it for those who want to follow the cars through the stages. Good luck to the Australian entrants!

356speedster Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 During the wee ours of the day the cars takes a quiet stroll around theroads of Well Mountain to take notes of the different treacherous bends and dibs. The bend around the Gaudi Monument: the Mangrove Hairpins: a little Close Up: The Mountain Top: The 180 hairpin: The Metal Bridge: The Fat Madonna Monument: Ok and the First Impression..........drum roll please: They all run on the sportstrack.....it's slippery(Black Ice) but pretty funny however. The Rally Track is drive able as well however some cars have deeper guides than others and on a few they rub against the bottom of the slot.....a lot:-(make those cars very slow:-( can I sand the guides a little bit on cars that I find too Handicaped by this issue ????????? I'll continue my pre testing early in the morning when the drivers have had some sleep. Cheers and thanks for watching this evenings broadcast from the 2009 SCX Classic Rally Proxy at Well Mountain. And please please don't forget to send a kind thought to our sponsor: ################## FAT MADONNA BREWSKY -at last you can drink with a clear conscience ################## Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
