Aldershot day out

[lesbaldry]

Yesterday was a bit of a Bashley day out,Myself.Pete and Craig,Shaun.Ginge and "big bloke"Newton were all there testing.
Pete and Craig sorting set up with car and speedo,Shaun done well considering it was his first time there,Mr Newton was consistently in the 20 lappers and a PB to boot ,Ginge in 13.5 was deffo on a mission posting a PB with a very fast 19 "nice one" and me I smashed my PB just missing a 22
All "n" all it was a bloody good fun day with plenty of relaxed banter and importantly some shared info between us all with set ups and speedo setting.....Oh and super company too,thanks lads

yeah it was a good day out , and thanks for the help i received

i learned 2 things yesturday ..
no1 ... dont try and overtake someone out wide/hi on the banked corner ( lets just say it was like gone in 3 secs not 60 seconds !! ) , and my stupidity did'nt stop there , as you will know i tried it out wide again on the next lap ( just to confirm it dont work up there !! ) and geuss what , i went off ... making my lipo fall out this time ..

tip no. 2 .. make sure that the wheels/tyres your going to use are in your hauler ( not on the bench in yur garage !! ) or you end up using all the poo thats left .....

Yup, not much grip up there is there Shaun ;D

Setup?, LOL the two things we did learn were that you can take an X12 to 120ish and still carry on driving it and crashing on the banking will rip your LIPO out even though you have double taped it.

Laugh for me was David (having gone off) putting Craig under pressure for several laps only to fall for one of Craig's defensive ticks. This involves doing a 360 at full speed on the banking which bemuses the pursuer so much that they shoot by and carry on into the bushes on the exit of the banking leaving Craig to drive off in the sunset. ;D

And the newly upgraded XRAY CNC machined shock spring retainers looked awesome in their matching orange

Unfortunately they don't cater for 17.5 but Nigel would run a heat if enough turned up on the day.Theres no reason why a 17.5 could not be ran with 13.5's or borrow a 13.5 and come along.The tracks large and easy to drive for anyone plus the extra grunt of a 13,5 can be simply de-tuned to make it easier to drive but still have good top speed to enjoy.
Experience of other tracks is always well worth it.

The motor you muppet not the car ;D......Its easily done Chris,just reduce punch,timing etc to make the acceleration feel like a 17.5 but you can still retain top end speeds for larger tracks.
