Drives very very nicely- one or two lovely arse out sliders and some very tricky varying radius curves. Enough straights for a good burst of acceleration, and tricky enough to need a bit of experimenting with your braking points. Best of all, it's one of those tracks that feels totaly different running in the other direction (you know what I mean, some tracks feel similar whichever way you run them.
Looking forward to your idea of polishing various spots on the track to vary it up. I certainly won't get bored of driving this section. Driven in the dark with the full aurora borealis effect is an exciting drive. well done rich  Has anyone gone sub 14 secs yet? -------------------- |

Hi Snurfen,
Nobody sub-14 seconds yet (that's for 2 laps from a standing start by the way). I've only managed 16.30 with the Ninco Scooby. I just need to figure out how to get rid of the Ninco Hop because that's costing a few tenths on the straights. To be honest - the Mini is way more fun - the tail slides have an almost hypnotic effect on me. -------------------- |

Sorry Mr Modifier! I meant of course sub 15 seconds - I really shouldn't type on a forum whilst having an in depth discussion with the wife

I'm sure the course record was achieved with that lovely little scooby of yours  (was it 15.06?)-------------------- |

Another option is some bracing between rear end and motor mount.

I'll show Richard the credit card trick next week Embs - I've actually got half of one in my pocket as I type - the other half is in my Mosler for the Wales and West series!
Bring your glue gun on Wednesday Mr Modifier. -------------------- |

I can only work wonders and perform miracles Embs. I could NEVER get anything past my missus!

Nice job with the track and lighting Mr Mod, always good to see the kids enjoying themselves, hoping to route up my own little rally track one day soon , whats the point of having rally cars and no rally track.
