Tore ,sorry to hear your opting out but if your work load is to much then no probs. You've done a fine job so far
. Thanks to Ian and Malcom and his crew from the Wolves club for the efforts of the last round.To the guys who got podiums ,congrats
. As for the next round I was reading my schedule and the French run was on the 4th of June,but now cancelled, the following round is the 18th June in Spain (Sig's).If the cars can be shipped by what ever means possible (why not get the TOP GEAR guys to do a run to Spain,they like doing that sort of thing
)by the 18th and Sig is happy with the postal service there,his round would only be a few days to a week out . If this can happen ,the whole event would be only out by a week or two. I'm not worried with that.With Tore being busy ,the last round would be at PSRRFH ,still in Denmark where Tore could then send the cars back anyway. I would like to see it finish and see my car grab some more points
.

Post anywhere in the world these days is a bit iffy. I dont mean that as a bad thing to any of the postal workers who are avid slotters
.My car has now competed in last years and this years Proxy Rally so far and yes I would be pissed off if somewhere it got lost ,but to lay blame to any one person involved with the Proxy isnt right unless it was posted by SEA (Did that come up again sorry
). All jokes aside we take those risks,we dont want see it happen but we have to accept it may.I'm happy for mine to carry on. This is only my opinion as I know some of you guys have two cars involved if not 3 . I will post this on SCX as well as Auslot.
Cheers Craig

Sad to hear the event may be cancelled.

I'm guessing that further (non UK) events will be cancelled (following another round at Wolves), if that is the case would it be wise to hold the UK cars in the UK for posting/collecting?

Folks at Wolverhampton,
Highlander from over on SCXWW here just stopping by to say thanks for hosting the event - from my point of view, a pleasant surprise to see the Escort with it's first stage win and a 3 bonus - WOW - Thanks. Looking at that track I can see why it did better than I expected, short on top-speed but stable through the bends which was my proxy strategy..... it finally paid-off!!!!

Thanks to all of you for fitting in an extra series [if thats the plan...??]..

All the best - Highlander AKA HighlanderSCXWW [here]

If you are looking for another club to run a rally, then Wye valley in Wales will be up for it.

We got about 8 stages we could use.

Cheers
Phil.

I can offer three stages I could use for the rally plus a large club track (potentially). I will speak the owners of the club tonight about this.

Regards
Jon

Tore,

There you go, interest within 24 hours

Cheers guys

Thanks to Ian, Malcolm and the entire Wolves club for attempting to repair my car and for your efforts in trying to tame it. I think with less abused rubber on the rear it might have performed better, but the spares apparently never made it in the box from the beginning.
As far as continuing the proxy I haven't a preference either way. On one hand it would be nice to see it finished properly but it would prolong my suffering and so on the other hand it might be nice to end my misery early. That being said, I will go along with whatever the majority of entrants decide to do.

Regards
Rico

In regards to the future of the proxy. Would love to see the Proxy continue on its original intended route. Seems as though the hosts in Spain and Italy dont think theres a huge risk of sending the cars their way so im happy if we do it.

If theres a job needed doing that im capable of doing I will be happy to help.

Sad that you've come to that conclusion Tore, i thought you had asked for and had received a helping hand, or hands, with the running and i.t input by a couple of hosts.

Oh well ... i'm all for letting it run it's course

You take a chance when you enter a proxy, due to the nature of the event, the cars can be damaged, lost or even destroyed at any time during their travels, whether it be from town to town or country to country, It'd be nice to get the car(s) back in one piece, but that's why you keep the costs down when building a car, and that is the appeal of the SCX proxy as most of the entrants are stock.

At the end of the day they are only toys

If postage is a problem maybe a courier (UPS or whatever) is the answer for the Spanish and Italian leg

See what's in the kitty ..... might have to wring the friggin cats neck for the courier
