Friday night Brendale GP and EP Onroad.

That all adds up to a very big week for some.

    I don’t know about any of you, but I’m not racing in the AARCMCC Queensland Titles.
    This weekend, I will be racing in the ORRCA and AARCMCC Queensland Titles.

    Thanks David for putting up something about the 09 Qld Electric On Road Titles, weather you agree or disagree with decisions made by the ORRCA committee this year I feel we have made them with the best interest of the RC racer in Qld.
    We all need to realize we have different ideas about how things should be done and agree to disagree.
    We as a committee don’t know everything and are learning as we go and I feel we deserve a little more respect for taking on the job, keep in mind there aren’t people lining up for positions on the committee.
    Regardless of Heavy’s heading it is the ORRCA Queensland Titles for 09 and will be hard fought like it is every year and I hope you can see through the indifferent and support the event.

    Both the entry form and the rule set declare the event to be the ORRCA and AARCMCC Titles. If it’s good enough for you to read that as the ORRCA titles then it’s surely good enough for me to read it as the AARCMCC titles.
    John I do have a different view on this and I’ve expressed it a few times but I’m not sure how or where I’ve shown disrespect to people on the committee. I’ve in fact gone out of my way to ensure that I haven’t brought personalties into it.

    Chris S runs around 49mm Kak so do most of the other guns 😉 I would start around 46-47 and check temps and then push up rollout as far as you can go without giving up too much infield speed. Go get em!

    Hey Vazzo
    Your gearing advice is like your football advice, not a clue 😆

    Better stick with football tipping :mrgreen:

    The Mid week mania meet at Meakin was a very dusty affair tonight. Most of the regular F1 pilots turned up even with the dust storm raging and we tried to race. New to F1 and good to see Michael with a Corally.
    Conditions got a bit better after the first run during which both Stuart (Corally ) and Heavy (Tech ) broke their cars.
    In the first 2 races Martin and Brad dominated but by the final to was all AGR with Adrian taking the win from Bob.
    As usual we had a few laughs.
