Today was the first day of the SSD Chipping Conference.



A conference set-up to promote networking allow listening opportunity - opening the eyes to new things and offering challenges, led by those who have already successfully met them. The conference was excellent. As a member of the Development Team, the event flew by before we even had time to discuss several points it was time delegates to depart.
OK what the … is he talking about lmfao.gif lmfao.gif today Savage visited Autodrome II to discus chipping and how it has progressed over the last few years, advances in techniques and equipment. This is quite apt as for those that where not aware this is National Chip Week!

Unfortunately we did none of the above WE Raced Cars! dribble.gif dribble.gif

We had a great time even EZrider joined in as it was half-term he was able to play with his toys too! thumbsup.gif

Savage brought along some of his cars which where all immaculately turned out, it was good to see them in the flesh and they looked even better than in the photos. In particular the MB SLot Pagani Zondas looked really nice despite Tel not being too pleased with one of them I think he is just over critical of his own work. All Tel’s cars perform really well and he was not beaten in any race throughout the day! I think I trailed home last every time……… wacko.gif

Some of the scenery took a bit of a bashing but nothing that a bit of hot glue won’t put right. Using different cars highlight some other areas that need attention maybe that hairpin is just too tight I’ll have to look at adjusting that section of track. This is all part of the evolution of the track.
Tel also brought along his RichG timing tower which was fantastic I know I keep saying I’ll have to get one, but never get round to it there is just so much I have had to get of late……..One Day!

I hope you had a good time Tel I know I did I think Ezrider but who can tell with tweenagers!

The box of chocolates where really appreciated by Mrs bleep thank you very much.

Thanks for coming I hope we can do it again soon thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif

The name Savage suits him well doesn't it!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you had a great time, Tel is a fantastic racer so I understand your chasing, experienced it myself many times!

Despite getting lost on the way to, and from, AutodromeII, I had a great day, time dissapeared way to fast, was geat fun and was fantastic to see and race around AutodromeII, it looked even better in the flesh than in the pics smile.gif
Ezrider did win the Rally challenge though, not me wink.gif

Stuart,
Yeah, I know now that I have spent too long over the last year concentrating on building a track rather than concentrating on cars and performance. Tel’s cars not only looked good but perform well too.

I looked in on your old track today it did seem such a shame to see it in a pile like that I did like your landscaping lets hope the next one evolves to be even better.

Once I have done a bit more work on the Autodrome II it is my aim to get you,Tel, Zipp and DJ over and have an all out thrash. Will have to make some rules but I won’t spill the beans yet, or else Tel will be working on it before we even get a chance, he is already way ahead of me!

Right this is the third attempt for me to answer this, my PC has crashed twice tonight! I have a new one in the pipeline but it will have to hang on for a few more months yet! (Should have got Tel to look at it!)

Thanks for the replies Guys
