Well the time has come to kick off another proxy rally series.

Rnd 1 will start tomorrow night (Wed) with a 10 lap Prologue, where we will give the cars a shakedown, provide feedback on the handling and performance on "Limestone Pass" and determine the running order using the best laptimes.
Stage 1 will be run this Friday night (approx 4 min run time converted to set # of laps) and the 2nd and final stage will be run this Sun afternoon (remaining approx 4 min run time).
Hoffy and Lenny will be around to assist with the running of this round.
We will provide pics of the field tomorrow night after the prologue.

I am looking forward to running this round of the proxy as there are always many and varied cars and configurations.

I'm really looking forward to following this new series, should be full of drama like the last one!

In fact, word on the street is that there is drama in the pits already

I'm really excited to know how my car and the PG urethane tires work on this track.

Bring on the drama...

I find that aswell, next time, use a open hand, and just give them a real hard slapping.
it's what works for me on those unexciting Porsche's.

OK guys, sorry for the delay, but here are the results from the prologue last night. There were a few cars that had very little grip, a few that were too quick, a few that were trippy, a few that were bouncy and a couple that were spot on for the conditions at Limestone Pass. Some of the cars best lap score was the only good lap we could get done in the 10 lap prologue. As most of you will know 1 fast lap in qualifying doesn't mean a good placing over a stage.
We will be doing our best to get the best your car will allow us. Stage 1 starts tomorrow night, 8pm SA time.
Expect results Sat am.

a few that were trippy

Whats goin on over there?

My car was "tippy" which to me is interesting coz at home it was "slidey".......
...........must be the different surface.

Thanks guys I'll sit back and watch and learn.

regards

Ok, here comes the first lame excuse.
It wasn't as tippy when I was running it in 4wd, but it was slower.
But I got worried when I drove Manimmals on my track and it was heaps quicker.
Oh well, this was allways going to be a steep learning curve.

After my first start last year I think it is a waste of time tyring to test unless you have a rally track, Stigs car was slow on any of the tracks here when compared to my Corolla and he went well in the Proxy.

13th. My lucky number. Could be a few good results to come New NC-1 should improve

Thanks for the prologue and comments Triggy

[rick1776]

Triggy,

I liked the idea you had about using talcum power to simulate snow. And the crushed glass pieces to simulate gravel although it did seem to slice through the tyres somewhat.

No Mel, 13th means you will finish mid field

[lenny broke]

Hmmm
see what happens when you over commit your self.
Yes Phil your right there my car had no time on a rally track at all and the guide problem that triggy reports wasn't apparent here at home on my test track.
such is life

[John Schoen]

I'll look at it from the bright side: it can only get better. It can hardly become any worse than it is now.

[silver rocket]

31st & dead last oh well atleast it's all uphill from here

[kalbfellp]

Now that all is ready for the first race it would be good if someone published all the details like weight,motors etc so we can compare the cars.
