Looking at the Up comming weather its not looking good for Sunday :(
I know what you mean Captain But I Hate Southends track and need some track time there realy
If we are going to do well this year in the STCC we need to make a special effort :D
Although having said that i won't be going if the weather is bad it needs to be sunny :D

Hiya guys. Sunday isn't looking to hot, but if the weather is anything to go by this could also be the conditions for next week as well. I'll be there but im keeping my stuff covered up in the car until the weather breaks slightly.
I have a feeling next Saturday (if they are going to open for practice) will likely be the busier day.
As for Southend - you woose Trev :D, it's a brilliant track, a true drivers track. Setup is everything there over out and out speed. Really looking forward to it, will be the first time back there since last years STCC :)

Due to cold wet weather, I won't be going.
Would not really learn much anyway, apart from the track layout, as no doubt it will be the wet car that would have to be run.

I put 1 pack of cells though my MRE on WET tryes it went well then I left befor the snow got to heavy ( Could not see on the A12 home ) Then could not get the van on the drive when i got home WELL i got the van on the drive but it kept slipping back down :lol:
Conclusion Seems like it will be the same Southend Layout that we all know :D
The track is as bumpy as ever
The Carpark is very nice now smooth ( Concrete Blocks needed to hold down the gazebo )
Prey for Sun next weekend it won't be any fun going round Southend in the wet :shock:
I tryed to make the effort to get an Advantage over the GreyFox

mallory park is realy good i went there last year with john from galaxy models it was great fun.
it was under breaking in the slow corners and coming out of them but its the same for every track in the wet, i just guesed a spring setup which wasnt to bad just need to try 4deg of toe in on the back hope that will help and need to be more smoother on the sticks :lol:
