[Alex]

Do we have an ETA as to when the tyres will be decided? cos you know... we are mid June now and the states in October.... gotta make sure the shops and retailers get enough time to order stock in.. save for stockpile.. etc etc etc yada yada yada. will the club be seling tyres as well?

[Alex]

follow on post:

This year, we will see for the first time brushless and brushed motors used at the same time in the Stock class. (AARCMCC will see brushless 17.5 legal for stock after July))

Should be interesting to see which will prevail ;)

[Dan]

u gonna run brushless shadow? ;)

BTW , how much difference iis there between the 17.5 and a good stock like a br00d?
<span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited Wed Jun 11 2008, 03:59PM ]</span>

Dan,
im testing a LRP 17.5 sintered with my new 4wd at the moment... but personally I still feel a lot more comfortable with my brushed stockers.

Will hopefully be able to do some back to back testing between my brushed stockers and the brushless LRP.

see how they go.

[golumn]

Rob, just remember to give me plenty of room when im lapping you.

[Matt]

is there confirmation if West Coast is ARCCMCC affiliated yet?

[Dan]

[MONGREL]

I heard on the grapevine that the tyres will be holeshots for everybody and the Club is ARCCMCC affiliated

[keyesgood]

hi,

matt/shadow

do you guys know what batterys will be legal for this years state event 08 , as im abit out of date with the battery war .
or is it best to wait until after july to see if arrmacc updates its rules ,


thanks .

mk,

[Dan]

4600's will be legal as from the 1st july

[keyesgood]

thanks dan ,

mk,

[Dan]

how many days will the track be open for practise prior to the event?

[keyesgood]

any news on what tires are controled if any, for this years off road states 08 ,



mk,

[Matt]

From memory, the controlled tyre has to be announced 3 months before the event. Is this correct?

[golumn]

correct matthew, but alais as the club has to send the information to AARCMCC to be approved before they can release the information.
But as mongrel has posted, Holeshot???

[Dazz 68]

Documentation nominating control tyres was supplied to AARMCC 8 weeks ago they should have responded no later than last week so they have been sent a reminder, hopefully we can have some news for every body shortly.
On that note West Coast has made arrangements for a one off bulk purchase of tyres for this event which will be offered to racers at a substancial discount to current local prices.
The club will be open for practise the required two days prior to racing as well all are welcome to our regular Friday night meets which should be recommencing late August / early September.It is also proposed to open the club up for day time practice on at least one Sunday prior to the event

[keyesgood]

thanks

guys ,

mk,

[Matt]

What is the date of the State Titles?

[golumn]

matt, if you go back to the events page there is a thread with all WAORMA Race Dates

[Matt]

October 17th to 20th.

Thanks.

[J.C]

What are the odds of me placing in top 5 :D now i have a T4?

Should place a bid on me like a TAB bet lol.

[Emlyn]

very little.

[J.C]

James>Emlyn :rolleyes: such a gimp.

[Matt]

No James Cunniffe, Emlyn is right.

Just because you have a T4 wont promise you a place. It depends on your driving, your truck setup, how much practice you have had.

When West Coast Model Rally Club re-opens, try to get as much track time under your belt as you can.

[J.C]

Lol, $50 says i make top 5. :D

Are you a noob racer matt? sound like it hey :p

[Emlyn]

Lol, $50 says i make top 5. :D

Are you a noob racer matt? sound like it hey :p



hope you have a lot of money

[Matt]

A couple of threads are going on this topic.

Threads on controlled tyres and the entry form have been made sticky (at the top of the page) here...

Matt.

[associatedracer1]

Hey looser I will take your $50. When the men come out for the states you boys will be lucky to even make the a main let alone run near the front.

Rob Thomas

[KingBob]

Lol, $50 says i make top 5. :D

Are you a noob racer matt? sound like it hey :p

Top 5 in the B or C class? Coz you havent got a hope of making the A's.

You've never seen the kind of driving that comes out at a state titles!

[Lazer_ZB5]

Once there are a whole heap of good drivers that are determined to win, it's all about luck and fatal mistakes that can allow you to win or lose. One night at west coast there were like 6 good 2wd mod drivers and we were determined to win and little silly mistakes cost you the win. It is also how you can handle the pressure of a guy trying to catch your tale. You are determined to win james and I can quarntee you that there are lots of good drivers thinking the same as you are.

[golumn]

I`m gonna make it easy for you james, im not gonna run truck. As for you Rob Thomas, you will be hearing lapping quite alot. Bringing my A game just for you robbie......

[James]

can I run truck? rofl... who's got a truck?

[revsinc]

can I run truck? rofl... who's got a truck?

[Emlyn]

Lol, $50 says i make top 5. :D

Are you a noob racer matt? sound like it hey :p

[J.C]

Hope you've got a full stock pile of spares, because with your positive approach you wont be getting any help if you break something...

I was hoping your come back, you'd have seen your destructive ways but clearly you just don't give a rats.

[stretch]

Well im looking forward to the seniors race, at least there wont be any excuses like poor eye sight or bad reflexes.:)

[KingBob]

You'll still have those excuses, just that people might actually believe the old farts :P

[stretch]

heh im one of them

[xray 008]

need help setting up a zx5 for this track
shock oils and stuff

[stretch]

Notice a few people selling there nimh batteries before the states, hope people are not thinking they are going to run lipos because i have a email that says they wont be allowed.

[Dan]

states tomorrow..yeeeew!:cool:

[obzELiTe]

hope ppl know the track is open today for practise

[Bowling Ball]

Good luck to all racers at this weekends states - I'll be down for a looksie :)

[stretch]

Well ill be doing it for the seniors in the two wheel drive open seeing i was bumped up because not enough of us old farts in two wheel drive. And i hope it will also be a clean race, no barging from behind. Good luck to all and remember, its not about winning its how you play the game.

[T Mac]

good luck to all who compete... so jealous i couldnt b there... damn work gets in the way of everything!!! look forward to the pics and stories!!!!

[Mazimbwe]

Great racing seen today in the 2WD classes.

For my mind, best Drive/performance of the Day goes to Josh Morley in Stock Truck...Great effort in his first State Titles to take out 3rd with great etiquette and poise.
Well done.

Hats off to all the racers on the day because the spirit of the racing was good for most of the day.

[Nissanmania]

A great day with some big air and happy campers (mostly).

Could be interesting if it's another 6 or 7 degree warmer tomorrow.

[KingBob]

A good day i think, ran quite smoothly.

Still amuses me when some drivers get upset when they flip their cars and it takes a marshal longer than 0.34 seconds to flip it back!

[Mazimbwe]

Nice air-time pic of my truck Paul...cheers. ;)

[Nissanmania]

Some other shots...

[Mazimbwe]

It did yesterday Mark.
I wish I had done the qualifying with the setup that I had for the finals...I didn't think I was lacking for anything around the track thru the finals other than a scrap of luck and a better qualifying spot to start the finals from.
Dan Temple was on fire tho...almost unbeatable this season.

[Emlyn]

Big thanks to everyone that turned up and cheers for a great day of racing!

[KingBob]

Yup, another good day.

As race director it was interesting to note that many of the 'junior' members, and those who aren't in the upper echelon of skill, actually had better race etiquette/manners/general behaviour than many of the 'pro' drivers.

Well done.

[Emlyn]

Lol, $50 says i make top 5. :D



So when can i get my $50?,
cheers

[Mazimbwe]

What are the odds of me placing in top 5 :D now i have a T4?

Should place a bid on me like a TAB bet lol.
How did the T4 go mate? I'm sure that bet will pay off one day...but rather than thinking that the rest of us are all muppets, give us some credit...if it was as easy as all that we would all be able to run with Josh(et al) and be in with a shot at Truck Open State Titles.

I really find it insulting that you think you can just come in from flying planes and take a top 5 spot in a major event.
...and I want to ask you, "How do you feel, about being so cocky, now that you have seen how fast one of the top drivers in the country can get a Truck around your home track?"(<-----serious question)

[Kai]

The results for the states (day 1 and 2) are on the west coast model rally club web site here (down the bottom next to State Titles :http://www.westcoastmodelrallyclub.asn.au/Raceresults.html

[Nissanmania]

Put some photos of Sunday up at:

http://topcat.fotopic.net/c1597849.html

Have loaded full size photos (1.5Mb) which I will probably halve to save space so if want a full size copy get it soon.

Will put up photos from Saturday in next few days.

[Emlyn]

lol where did J.C finish then? I don't race for the fact I know I would get my ass handed to me all the time but justo is talking about racing and he wants me to do the same so maybe ill have to start learning how too now.

Be a good time to get a car lots of people are selling.

[Emlyn]

And J.C finished last.
