That looks cool! and welcome to the forum

It'll make a change from us running vintage buggies every week at Stockport

Any rules, such as a cut off date?

For example late 90s means the Losi XX4 and Predator P8 qualify and I wouldn't want to try and race an Optima/Mid/Procat against them.

[terry.sc]

Is the date right? 9am start on 20th March, which is a Friday?

[Dazza1]

is there going to be any on road racing or is it all buggies ect??

Thanks

Ok guys thanks for the comment. it would seem i missed a few things out. ok first of all the location its in macclesfield at the indoor macc track i will get the exact address today for you guys. we are only running buggies to start with but i know they run a race night on a tuesday and fri nights starting at 7pm on both nights my friend races these nights and he says its great. but this vintage day is just for buggies to start with. the date is wrong sorry sold have been 21st march at 9am there is no formal race time its going to be just a fun day really with some friendly racing. we want as many vintage buggies we can get so tell everyone you know. all buggies are welcome but we will be checking them so ensure original motors. this is not a serious day out just abit of fun for those who remember the good old days any more questions please feel free to ask. cut off i would say no later than 98 that gives us about 10 years of buggies.

thanks again for your interest.

Location of Macctrack is here http://www.macctrack.org.uk/club/directions

For those who don't know they normally run mainly on road on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays with ramps added for buggies and micros.

Erm, actually it's nearly 20 years of buggies, the Rough rider came out in 1979.

thanks terry for the address i was about to add that tonight but had to work. so lots of people with comments any one interested ? we need at least 20 people to make it a decent day out for every one. not much point unless we can have a good race. Terry i was half asleep this morning when i wrote my reply so got the years of buggies wrong either way its a long time agreed. So if anyone wants to come please add your names either on email or we can start a list going

thanks rob

Put my name down for this one. Sounds really good. It will give me a chance to see what all the fuss about gold tub RC10's is all about. Will there be different classes?

[bigwillyuk]

Hi martin

glad to see your on board. as this is the first race meet for us we are just getting numbers together to start with so no class's as of yet. i think it would be really cool just to get loads of people together who enjoy vintage rc. If we get get enough people at the first race meet we can take it from there i think. i will be racing my new rc10 i just got off ebay. never been run brand new cant wait. better not get lost in the post:( thanks again rob

[bigwillyuk]

come on people there must be more interest in this day out ? any more takers ?

[rc-martin]

Anybody else coming?

[bigwillyuk]

i was hoping more people would be interested in this day out.

well we will be there so if anyone wants to come along they can if not we will have fun

[terry.sc]

I will pop in at some point, unlikely to run anything though.

[rc-martin]

I wonder if the reason for lack of interest in this meet is because it is more "race" orientated than bashing? There is nothing to be affraid of about racing. I race touring cars at my local club but have never raced buggies, so see this as the perfect oppertunity to see what I missed out on years ago. What's wrong with a bit of stuctured racing? Instead of just aimlessly going around in circles?

Or am i missing something?

Excellent point.

Excellent point.

Will you be attending then?

I won't be running as I race vintage 2wd and 4wd buggies every week at my club, but they've all got low turn modifieds in them and no 540s to replace them with for one event.

[Live Steam Mad]

Will you be attending then?

Yes. Snetterton (TC main meet apparently for 2009) is far in the East, and this is far more Central.

Count me in

Cheers,

I can always bring a spare motor with me terry

[Live Steam Mad]

I would like to prebook 40.735 MHz (PCM) please. My alternatives can be and 40.685 MHz and 40.695 MHz and a bunch of others. This will be for my Top Force.

Cheers,

Alistair G.

[Live Steam Mad]

Also I would like to prebook the RED 27MHz frequency (27.045MHz) for my Toyota Celica, if there's no jumps on the track LOL. Otherwise I'll just run the TF buggy!

[bigwillyuk]

wow this is great thanks guys for the increased interest. a few points i would like to make.

1 Please dont think this is a serious race day far from it guys its about getting together with what you have and lets have a bash/race etc etc we have the track all day and i have been told it has just been made bigger and better will be going on friday so will try and get some pics.

2 there are jumps and all sorts there

3 we have access to the lap timeing equipment etc if we want it

4 if people have spare xtals then bring them along we will have to see what every one has on the day. does that sound fair to everyone?

5 have fun

6 we dont want anyone to feel left out if you only have a stock tuned motor then will try and match cars together as best as we can. or we can see what we have on the day and maybe set them out in differnt heats ? good idea ? your veiws are welcome guys.

7 i will check on this but there are food and drink facilities there at cost not much. or bring your own.

8 this is the first race/bash day for us too so please bare with us on the day we are racers well some of us lol so we know how to set the track up etc but we dont do this full time.

9 please come and have a good time lets make this the first of many great days.

10 doors open at 9am sat 21st march 09 if anyone is unsure of location please let me know asap and i can get a map out

thanks agian i hope all cam come and make our and your day

Rob

p.s let every one know this is not a serious day and stop being chicken

[rc-martin]

This sounds like it should be a good fun day out, if you want more people to come, what you need to mention is "Lunchbox" or "Willy" race. That normally gets people crawling out of the woodwork.

[moxyuk]

hi

would love to come but have got family over that weekend and only got a lunchbox running so if there are any corners i am stuffed

but will defo come up if your planning any more events over the summer

cheers mark
