I`m at my wits end over this. :bigsmurf:
As for tyres up in the track because it so bad grip wise
I think once everyone has 13.5 t or 27 t motors off you go ..
It`s all about testing the car....

I think Eugene is right, "Its all about competing with your car on an even field" but after looking at the trail of earth that had been swept up against the hoses (when the hoses were removed you still see where they were by the trail of dirt) I'm starting to think are we destroying any chance of close racing by trying to run slicks on a dirt track! I think we have to either clean the track on a regular basis or accept it’s a dirt track and run tyres accordingly.

Your dead right there bud ..
We need to clean the track big time ..

If we don`t we are only waisting our time and fucking up the cars aswell and as you know there not cheap cars ...


I`m going to bring the wifes hoover up on wed night .

It will only take about 15 mins to do the track if we have a few hoovers up there and some of the lads on the brushes aswell.....

Well,
Over the past few weeks I am about the only person up there not driving and amazingly enough I seem to be the only one taking time to give the track some sort of cleaning while everyone seems to be too taken up driving round while I sweep  :scratch:

I thought the agreed plan of attack was
1) Get the Track Laid
2) Clean the Track
3)
And only 3  Get cars out of pit boxes and ready to race..??  :king:
