Yeah, i race there when i get a chance, money and time and rain has made it a very lean year race wise, looking to fix that though, no of a few of those guys, and yeah zac has to up with the fastest guys around, him, jason dycoff, brad young, and damien, made a pretty impressive frieght train around bdr a while back, there the sort of guys that on my very best day a may stick with for a couple of laps and then they just disapear.

I'll have a look for you i don't think there website www.brisbanedirtracing.com has the current layout, if you looking for track ideas have a look at the old meakin park layout most rated it as the best 1/8th track around and it was a fast fun track with enough technical stuff for a challenge but still got the blood flowing, big banked corner leading onto the straight followed by another banked corner nice infield big table top on pit straight, lovely track. I haven't seen the new layout there yet but i hope its like there old one, damn i want to get out for a race real bad now.
keep with them??? not get lapped by them, is normally my goal when there at the track. they are fast every lap, i'm fast some laps.
For the track time i get i go alright but i don't get out enough, seriously i think i've been to 4 meets this year, timming is just wrong for me at the moment, every time i can race it rains, when its fine i'm busy or short on cash. Damn shouldn't have bought the v8, the house, and should get rid of the other half, and stop drinking, then i'ld have to get out of working 5 days but keep the money. lol.

ORIGINAL: Grahama89
Now there's a track with some love in it. If the Swindon commitee had gone with the ideas that the members wanted and were willing to give up their time to do (2 years ago) then the Swindon track would look pretty similar to that.
But even that one looks quite flat, now if you look at the Maxxspazzing track at Guildford, then there is a big air circuit, shame about the website mods. But at least they realised their dream and built a cool track. Probably the best one in Britain (after Slough and the rest).

RE: Bring On The Insane Track Idea's.n. US style, Euro etc. insane ideas anything.
i was previously a caster racing driver for davide from hobby realms.what are the emails for theo and adrian and what company are they?
the track is a medium sized one the grip level is fairly high when its wet but can be very slippery when it is dry.it is very hardpacked in some places and loose in others.you must have a good setup because one setup may be good in some parts of the track and loose in others.we have some great jumps and some technical sections too.the track is a great blend of high speed and tight corners.
wat do you specifically want to know?

Theo assa, he does tyres and stuff, and Adrian, gee i hope ive got his name right is the cobra importer, or .. eh anyhow. if your doing well they will come to you
Well i want to know what sets of jumps work, i likw when a track is jumping up and down and you jump up on something and all of a sudden its a whole new level etcetera. Is that track like that? What are the jump/corner combinations. like, is it a jump on a corner thats great fun or what? what is it about the tracks obstacles that makes it goo, because we already have the layout pretty set in concrete .
