Even thought I quite like the tracks when they are 'damp' as the grip is good and tyre wear is minimal, I'm getting a bit fed up with this cold stuff. Not enough to make me take up touring cars, but would be happy with some 1/10th 4wd action indoors....one day round here hopefully.
Racing has been mostly at Slough with 2 trips since xmas with a 30th and 34th out of 70-100 drivers so hanging in there just. Hopefully keeping up with racing all winter will give me a good start to the season whilst others our 'playing' with other classes or just watching TV.
A little trip down to Torch saw quite a large list of broken parts, but all silly little things that just don't normally cause problems...typical. And then a completly dead speedo at the start of the 2nd final ended my days racing...at least I can now by a new one to match the rest of the gear.....
I've also been stocking up on LiPo's ready for the season, either for practice during the week or for running the 1/8th nationals & SRS races or just some Short Course fun down at Adur. Need to sort out a bombproof storage box as I have a few ton of explosives to carry around now.
Finally the nationals dates for most classes have been released and I can start planning my summers schedule, looks like at least 10 weekends away which wont make the missus happy. Note to self: Need to check over my camping stuff before easter time and fill up the gaz bottles, also check the projector works on my netbook ready for the evening entertainment ;)
See my southern race dates calendar here.
Next weekend will be the chaos that is the Brighton model world show down in Brighton, indoor carpet 'show' racing with a Short cousre is going to be entertaining to say the least.....might get to run over a few Mardaves though so not all bad...just lots of silly questions like how fast does it go........Hmmm.
By far the best treat selection from this month has to go tho the Chilli choclate cookies....mmmmmm keeping you warm on a Sunday.
