slotcarmann Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Morning Simon Do we have any idea of when the first stage might be taking place? Just sat here on another wet day, wondering what's going on in the big wide world. Hope you have as much fun with the proxy as I did....lol.

Splitrim Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hi guys I'm struggling to add pictures and spreadsheets of this round, it's frustrating and I don't want to kick another computer to death. can anyone private message me so I can email them to someone who can post?

snurfen Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) I cheated and followed Kevan's method. Started a thread on Slotforum, then rightclicked the pictures and sables etc and "copy image location". Then I clicked on the icon 11th from the right in this "reply to this topic" window and pasted the image location in there. It's actually easier to post the pictures on Facebook to the WRP Rally Proxy page, then the tables on Slotforum. EDIT: On SF it's actually "Copy image address" WRP page is here Edited September 5, 2018 by snurfen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splitrim Posted September 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Thanks Phil, but I never agreed with remote hosting, and was proven right when Photo bucket started ripping people off . All my files and images are right here at home on secure hard drives that are not connected to the Internet. Gazza has offered to "attach them" I'll email the files to him.

slotcarmann Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ouch....my total yo-yo performances continue.... And Barbs almost as bad.... Hard to draw any meaningful conclusions…. Maybe I just prepare crap cars.... Thanks for running the round Simon and well done to the top guys. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splitrim Posted September 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Don't despair Dave, that's normally my domain So, we ran the two stages at Wolverhampton Slot Car Club, thanks to Malcolm Scott, Chris Aston , Simon( another one)and Richie. Chris drove Stage one , Aldersley Rally track, and I drove stage 2 Orleton Park! While the others marshalled and kept time. Chris is one of the fastest racers at Wolves with many podiums under his belt. Me, well I'm middling in Rally, but am stacking up the pile when racing...... Both tracks are routed wood, but with completely different characteristics Aldersley is flat with several "donuts" and a couple of long straights and fast sweeping bends. Orleton Park is a stylised figure-8 with some seriously banked curves. We checked out each car as it was unwrapped, gave the tyres a wipe as suggested, and cleaned braids with lighter fluid. They were run as unwrapped, so no particular order, and Chris had no idea as to which were doing well or badly, or to whom they belonged. Anything that was previously described as "tail-happy " was not happy at all! We recorded the number of de-slots, but not the number of times when cars "spun-out" and needed a nudge to get going as the guide was still in the slot. At the end his trigger finger was sore, but I reckon he'll take part next year as he's never done a proxy event before, and seemed to really enjoy the concept . There were very few issues, apart from the heaviest cars getting stuck on the sharper turns, and Car 46 Team Red.....as it was put onto the track for the test lab , one of the rear wheels sheered off the hub. Although the spindle has been sleeved, the "spokes" gave way( maybe weakened due to the removal from the axle to sleeve the hub?) I decided, due to time constraints, the the best action was a fix. The rim/spokes were re-attached using cyno, and the car was the last to run, it seems to be OK . Hope I did the right thing guys. We all had a great, if tiring time running this, and thank you for the opportunity. I apologise for not getting any pics up so far, I'm looking for solution........

Splitrim Posted September 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Many thanks to Gazza for getting the spreadsheet up . So the cars get a little rest whist I go to Greece without them. Sorry Alexis, nowhere near you, otherwise I'd have dropped them in personally. Then later in the month back to Wales for the next round....... BTW, somewhere along the way, Snurf's has become no.59 What's that all about?

kalbfellp Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Do I read the results correctly that the fastest car was run for around 1 1/2 minutes and the slowest was run for just under 2 minutes over the two tracks?

snurfen Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Sounds like you guys had a great time - I love running the cars too. I've driven both tracks - Aldersley takes a while to master, but is a very very clever build incorporated into the Aldersley road race track. Orleton Park is great fun, when you have worked out the balance of the car, you can really nail it around the banked bits, and it really zooms under the bridge in a very dramatic fashion. Glad to see them both in use! I was No1 for the previous running of the championship, but someone else took the title off me last time, so I revert to my normal running number of 59. Have fun in Greece, and don't forget, you still need loads of sunscreen, even though its a bit cooler at the moment. See you in Abergavenny.

snurfen Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Took a trip up last weekend - my co-shennanigators were dubious that Marty Wilde was the singer. Google, I thank you! Walked up the Skirrid and (over)rehydrated at the Skirrid Mountain Inn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalbfellp Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Are the results posted the final times for this round are is there more stages to be run to make up the normal 8 minutes used for each round?

slotcarmann Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hi Phil It looks like that's it, I'm afraid. A bit short I must admit. Mind you I probably would have been even further behind if the time were longer. We always try to give loads of running time in the IoM.
