We are on holiday

Hi everyone, just a quick reminder, we have two weeks off now, we return on the first Wednesday in September, the 6th. Remember it will also be the truck week date as well as the new championship for 2 and 4 wheel drive. Thank you everyone, cheers, Mark

A huge thank you to every racer and the committee for all the support on Wednesday night. We still had some teething issues to knock out as it was the first time the laptop had actually run a real race, rather than just my car driving round my dining room each weekend. Everything appears to be now fully functional, including having uploaded the results from the new laptop just now.
We may still need to adjust a few minor things around the AMB and hardwired to the network but other than that we are all back racing with the data on the new laptop and printer.
Once again, my thanks to everyone for the support, especially to Jodie for her patience with hand writing everything, and Jon for his IT skills advising me on how not to lose the entire clubs history by accidently deleting the wrong database or ticking the wrong thing. I appreciate it’s been a bit of a long road, but hopefully now we are in a place to be a little future proofed should we want to change or update software/services etc going forward. Cheers, Mark

Hi everyone, thank you all for a great night on Wednesday. I appreciate holiday season is now in full swing but it was great to see people still attending and some good racing

Trucks had a good night bashing round as always, remember everyone, try to maintain driving standards at all times.

The new laptop is here a huge thank you to Jon for helping with support on moving the database over so I didn’t lose our entire history, and for the testing once everyone had finished racing. It looks like the loop being on USB functions so we should be all good to go for next week with the new equipment and printer all working. Thank you again for all your patience throughout the change as things didn’t happen to plan.

Cheers, Mark

Hi everyone, thank you all for your ongoing patience with the technology situation, we have the new printer now and we are in discussions with a local laptop repair and support shop who is assisting with the upgrade to our kit.

Results uploaded and racer interviews

Good evening everyone, a huge thank you to Lloyd who has been helping me out and doing the results updates for the club. I’ve managed to get time around work and get them uploaded this week. It was a quieter night this week but we still had some fun and some excellent racing. Thank you all for your continued support.

Two of our very talented racers have been on the Grid Talk RC podcast, so as well as watching Matthew racing on YouTube from the last post, you can also catch up on Spotify.

Robinhood Raceway National

Hi everyone, here’s the link for Matthews race last weekend. Well done mate, shame about the weather, https://youtu.be/kahcU4OACuc ,, our racers could do well to note that the very final bend incident, the other racers were very mature and showed great sportsmanship in both waiting at the incident and not just shooting off.

Marshal/Driver sportsmanship

Hi everyone, I was hoping to go through this face to face this week but my work meant I couldn’t stay and race this week so I am uploading the document here and will speak with everyone next week.

To be clear, this isn’t a set of rules but a joint collaboration amongst us all to adhere to a safer, positive, constructive enviroment where our competitive nature aligns with everyones health and safety.

Week 12 results and videos

Hi everyone,
A very busy night of buggy racing, with some new racers, welcome to the family guys, I hope you enjoyed your evening with us.
We do need to remember to be careful and vigilant around all of our marshals, this is still a high speed sport that we enjoy as entertainment but injuries can happen so please take care.
Videos of everyones last races of the night have been uploaded to YouTube, these do show some scrapes and some areas of concern around driver etiquette when cars are being marshalled. Please do not throttle up your cars when a marshal has come out to get you back on track, at the same point if you are driving and see a marshal has come out to recover a vehicle, please slow down to allow them safe passage to and from the cars.
I am always available to come and talk too if you have any questions or concerns and I’ll speak with everyone next week before racing.
Thank you, Mark
