Mini & Touring Weekenders

Hey all,

Paul and I were discussing a thread where we can keep an eye on who is going to Meydan for some touring/mini action, and when. This is not event organising, but rather just to see who can meet up. It is always nice to know who is around for a bit of racing action whether it is formal or informal. We met up tody with Ahmed and had a blast, especially with the FF03's. Close rcing and with a 5000mah battery, you can run as long as a mini.

To kick things off, I suggest a small event next weekend, 5th March.
GT touring - 2 heats of 6mins, Final of 8mins
FF03's 2 heats of 6 mins, Final 10 mins
Mini 2 heats 10 min, Final 10 mins

The above format will work if there are at least 6 tourers, 4 FF03's and as many minis as allowed.
I think 2 heats per class and a final should make for a decent day, but as always, I am open to suggestions. The weather is going to get crappy soon, so we should get involved while we can.

Please keep the discussion as on topic as you can.

I'm in for next weekend!

Today was good fun out at the track, it turned into a bit of a tuning session, trading tips and tricks and naturally some fun on the track!

I would encourage the guys who havent been out in a while to dust your kits of and come for some good raving fun! The weather is great so time to advantage.

not sure if i'll be available on the 5th March as my in-law is still here but i will do my best to play

By this time, you should be sick of them, or they should be sick of you.... go on, give yourselves a break.

I'm planning to make it down this weekend.

6 mins per heat or run

they will run in 6 mins that means its 1 heat

they are using a gadget called "transponder" to count their laps in 6 mins

if they said 2 heats they will run 2X6 mins per heat, there's a break after each heat

i hope every thing is clear

Guys,

As there are not enough entries for timed sessions, we will just have open sessions...I will be down there about 2pm and please could some of you bring some 'traction compund', I still reckon it is very good for grip.

Hinawi,

GT touring - 2 qualifying races of 6mins, Final race of 8mins
FF03's 2 qualifying races of 6 mins, Final 10 mins
Mini 2 qualifying races 10 min, Final 10 mins

Maybe that explains it better.

Will pick up some traction compound on the way, I'll should be there by 2:30

i'll be in today....

be prepared its pretty windy out there! just come passed that way on my way home

Who's heading out to the track tomorrow?

Not going to make it tomorrow, I have a charity lunch do that starts at midday.... sorry.

Maybe,
I'll put the kit in the car and if I'm able, I will come down for a few laps.

i cant make it either, bneen busy all week with family from bahrain, so no RC escape for me ontop of that i need to get my kit of andy....

Anyone racing on friday? I miss racing the cement mixer.

Hey Eric

We generally meet saturdays around 3pm, why dont you come out then?

Team mates back! better check on the pickup and see if its good to go this saturday

Hey Jay, set the perilous pickup and lets go racing!

the guys are running sport tuned motors in the minis and 13T brushless for touring

seeing reck is up for some mini racing,

whos keen for some informal mini racing this saturady 3pm meydan?

'will try to set-up the 'other' mini and go down to meydan on saturday..

Funnily enough after finishing my Pajero I had a mini out last night. Would like to have a bash Saturday if I can make it.

Was a bit shocked how fast they are with a Lipo and sport tuned !
