    Just seen this callum :p Think i'll join in, they used to run this at the back of my house, looks like now its over the road from my girl friends house :p Time to fix my tl-01 or mrr2, i'd love to run the mrr2 but its not 1:10 scale, its a 1:10 mini and i dont have a shell for it. Might just go invest in a sprint 2 or the like.

    ive just bought a couple of packs of those small cones they use for foot ball and stuff (not many cones maybe 10) but easy to transport and use as clipping points, so ill throw them in the boot when im there next (prob next week)

    Are people going down again this wed nite?? I'll do my best to turn up baby/work permitting! We need to get the numbers up!! Not done much to mine except raise the suspension after wrecking the bottom of it having a drift about on Cory's farm!! We should try to get some videos up if I manage to link a few corners together, and not look like a total spaz! Need more drift action up here, even if it is RC!!

    We had a gd nite lastnite with quite a few drift cars turn up and some new faces! So going forward the organisers have been discussing letting us use the venue on another night, but we'd need to have some definite names and numbers before they see if its financially doable on their part and on a regular basis!

    Having a nite for drifting only would be loads better as we wouldnt have to worry about the other guys (racers and buggies) flying around the track, and we wouldnt be pissin them off by knackin up their lap times!

    I know of 5 local people that would be up for it most weeks off the top of my head, 2 new lads lastnite, and then theres all the normal racing club members coz some of em seemed pretty interested in the whole thing as its different to their usual grip stuff.

    Ideas going forward could be to have 3 practice sessions, then once a month we could have a competition night which could be judged by a few of us...!

    Its a cheap(ish) nite out where you get to go sideways without gettin pulled over or moved on!

    Who's onboard...?

    I'd already spoke to them about that. Probably need at least 15 of us I believe is what he said.

    But yep, I'd be up for it :) *Hopes for monday nights*
