netsmithUK 488 Posted January 19, 2003 Just an idea, but I thought as well as all the race's we might have a 'long jump' competition. I have the perfect bmx type ramp for it. We could start a record book for this type of thing. Jumping was always my favourite bit as a kid, guess it still is realyy So start working on those jumpers now...

Jimbo 13 Posted January 19, 2003 Chris, that sounds like a good idea. Maybe we should see how many mint SRB's we could jump with our cars?[][] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koenc 37 Posted March 1, 2003 Can I bring my latest FG 1/6 th scale Marder along for this competition? I've mounted in a tuned engine and Samba exhaust (max rev = 22000rpm !)and clocked it at 135 kmh/85 mph on a cycle oval . . . . . should make a nice long jump with this speed (and probably an expensive one also) just kidding ! still in doubt wether to come or not . . .

Guest Carsnboats Posted March 2, 2003 Hi Chris, What do you class as modified crystals? I largely use legal split crystals on the 27mhz band. If you use splits and full crystals (ie Brown, Red Brown, Red, Red orange, Orange etc) you can race up to 12, more if you combine 40mhz as well.

BalmyBaldwin 0 Posted March 7, 2003 Hi, I was wondering what kind of surface/track length is available at snetterton, I realise there is a offroad track, an on road track and a boating lake[?], but what sort of surface does the off-road track have? - Sandy, muddy, hard/soft etc. If one of you guys that lives nearby or has been to the track knows, please can you give a brief account of the track - is it short and twisty, long and flowing or a mixture of the 2?
