Thommo 1201 Posted August 31, 2013 I think we'll just take a raincheck on the idea for now then. matman you have the most to travel by far, so just let us know when it suits you and we can work around that. Remember 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month is when we might be able to get the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tipsy 7 Posted September 1, 2013 Guys, How about having 2 runs? One in October and one in November? See what interest is about obviously, but it would be a shame to miss out on any get together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thommo 1201 Posted October 9, 2013 Gday Everyone, We have been invited to hold our next meet once again at the Carine RCCC track located at Penistone Park in sunny Greenwood. The date is Sunday 17th November, this time we will start in the morning and have exclusive access to track and facilities. Please see the following, from Club President, Adrian. Hi JustinSunday the 17th would be ok as the Tamiyas dont damage the track and it will be in good nick ready for the following weekends event. If enough people are keen the club would like to do sausage sizzle to raise funds plus a $5 per person entry fee or $10 entry fee that includes hot dog and drink for lunch . Do you think this would be ok as we dont want to discourage people from going .There are a few more members from the club keen to go this time so with your guys as well it should be a good turnout .CheersAdrian It's really important that we know how many people are coming this time around so please show your support for this event by posting your interest in attending. Also please nominate what group classes you would like to run in? I am open to suggestion here but I would think that 2WD and 4WD in both 540 and open class would be a good start. For now this will be freestyle / practice laps but racing is an option if enough people are interested. http://www.carinerccc.com/ Regards Thommo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madmuz77 19 Posted October 9, 2013 Sounds good to me, count me in. $10 for lunch & use of the track, bargain. I'm open to any group/class or race too, although none of my runners have stock motors. That can be changed though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That can be changed though. That's great Muz, I'm glad you can make it. I have had a couple of confirmation emails today too, so I'll post up a list once everyone else has confirmed. Regarding stock motors, I'm interested to know if everyone prefers to include Sport Tuned and GT Tuned motors or keep it strictly to 540 silver can. All input welcome on this.

SB_Aust 42 Posted October 9, 2013 17th November I will be there! In case i missed it, what is the starting time? Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Willy Speed Shop 73 Posted October 10, 2013 Sounds great, put me down for 2wd 540. Need to get the Blitzer running asap. I think some racing would be the way to go. although I haven't really raced that much in the past. do we need transponders? Will be good to meet everyone. Cheers, Brenden.

Stickman 1 Posted October 10, 2013 I will check the date as I have some people over in November, but will get back to you asap. Think I'll dust off the Clod and my old Frog...going to have a dig around and see what else I can cobble together Cheers Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo 1201 Posted October 11, 2013 Great response so far guys. Here is the confirmed list to date. Jacko Boy Madmuz77 SB_Aust Stickman Tipsy Thommo Wild Willy Speed Shop Just a couple more of our guys to add to the list plus 5 or 6 guys from the Carine RCCC and we should get close to 15 people running on the day. Don't forget to nominate your classes. I will be running Astute in 2WD stock (or 540 if we restrict it) and TA02 Brat in 4WD open. Personally, I'm happy to include GT tuned and Sports Tuned in the stock class but if the majority are going to run 540 silver cans then we will keep it at 540 only. Please do voice your opinion on this! We could also run a fun class that includes Lunchboxes, Wild Willy's, Clods, Monster Beetles, Blackfoots etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SB_Aust 42 Posted October 15, 2013 Thanks for the details. I should be able to bring my silver can powered, Sand Scorcher, Super Champ - in the process of a restore but will spray a quick coat of blue paint on her, currently a horrible burgandy colour from it's previous owner, Lunchbox. I will try and get a Monster Beetle up and running also by then. I have no sports tuned motors so for me only 540 silver can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tipsy 7 Posted October 19, 2013 Hey Thommo, Well done on organising another meet. Im back from my 2 weeks overseas, and will certainly be able to attend.

My get my novaFox built as I managed to get an original NIB Fox just before my trip. (Soon to update sowroom with 3 NIB's purchased just before my trip). I've got a folding table too so will bring along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
