Welcome to the forum. With a track like that I would have been bragging about it even before it was built. I've drooled over it since I saw pictures on the Archer Raceway site.

 

How often do you have races and are they open for anyone to attend? With the M7 now open you're only 30 min away (and that works both ways just in case you want to come and race with us this Saturday night).

 

Cheers

 

Paul

May the downforce be with you.

We race every second saturday alternating between my place and Craig's at Minto, he's also on the Archer Raceway site, and has a three section (so far) rally track. And a newly compleated three lane road curcuit.

Any one interested we would be glad to have you come along and have a look and or race.

We run SCX 4wd rally cars on the rally track, you can run any make you want but we've found the scx cars the best

The road track mostly Stangs, Vetts ,Nascar,LeMans and home built sports sedans ,gone off F1,all 32nd

I run the SRM timming system and have not had a problem with it in the in the past 5 years

I even have a 16 mtr drag strip(that needs a lot of gleaning) that we use from time to time,weather permiting

We start racing around 2 and finnish whenever (11-12 is the norm)

We've been into rally in a big way over the last three years,just running that all night.

Now we're thinking of running a shorter rally then over to the road track for Sedans,LeMans or whatever.

The sports sedans are home built from plastic kits and have big flaired guards,big wings,big spoilers,big tyres (foam) and big motors (fox) 1/8 axles and running gear.

No interior (no room) just black out the glass and get it as low to the ground as possible.

The DB5 is an Arfix 32nd Kit

As you can see they've all had a hard life.....but there's plenty more to take over.

Damn, I'd love to race against those sports sedans. Love big motored/tyred cars. What sort of times do they pull against the RTR 32nd scale cars?

 

You race every 2nd Saturday, got to pull my finger out and try to get to the one on the 18th.

 

Cheers

On the 25mtr road track the scalextric stangs and vettes lap at around 10 sec a lap the sports sedans are in the low 7's.

 

They are a handfull but they are great fun.

Well a few of us finally made the treck across to Gary's house last night and all I can say is why did I wait so long. I now have two saturday nights a month pencilled in and probable trouble from the misses.

 

Thanks for the invite Gary. It was a great night and the first time Bo and myself have driven on a rally specific track.

 

Memories are Bo's NC5 Clio flying off the track over the jump when he gave it a finger full. It was tricky to get right but we did get there in the end and all drove well.

 

The format was five timed laps per driver and we had two cars per round each. We ran three rounds all up. I think Gary was quickest with Devious Dave proving that the Ninco Subaru's with NC1's are probably the car to drive. Next time will see some more Ninco cars filling the field along with the ever consistent SCX cars.

 

Thanks again Gary. :)

No problem Vince

And as we said on the night ..... it's only a matter of finding the right car and setup and then your on the money

Again another great night,we will be giving Craig's 40mtr track a run on the 8th of July so you can get used to it.

Then we can get into some serious rallying

(bring the camera next time)

Another extention to the rally track is under way

After we ran here on the 27th it got a bit cramped so i've moved the rally track out to the side shed.

But as the track has to be layed out in a "L" shape

So i've had to build another addon.

Once we get a few bods in there we can get into a heated debate over marshalling and it'll warm up pretty quick. tongue.giftongue.giftongue.gif

 

.... I was showing my better half the mods i was doing and her responce was "well at least it hasn't gotten out of hand yet" which came as a big suprise to me as i thought it had.

So it looks like i'll just have to keep building biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif
