b_hawk111 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Alright guys! So I will soon be moving to Milton Keynes and so I'm leaving behind my normally weekly outdoor drift club. I'm planning on Carrying on drifting outdoors in Milton Keynes, one evening in the week. I'm keeping the hose we use for tracking at our normal meet and a couple of foam pieces to use for walls and clipping points. Anyone in the area fancy joining in? I'll be making a new group on Facebook for it and a new page to go with it too. I'll post back with the group name etc when we get a bit further down the line, just trying to find people at the moment! My old club used to be great back in its day, used to get 15 sometimes 20 people down every week, but it has dwindled down to 3 or 4 of us, so looking forward to trying to make something with more people again!

scratcher Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'd be up for it have you thought about where to run it? I don't have Facebook so I can't join. Are You going To keep this updated? You should head up to Soul too. I go most weeks with a friend. It takes no time to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teshi Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I heard ya moving. I'm sure Jr, myself and carter will be up for visiting ya. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_hawk111 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Sounds good we use got a few people already then! Me and my mate rich should be fairly regular! And I hoped you three might come out to play Teshi! Potential at the moment is the asda car park or the stadium car park as apparently the tarmac there is super smooth! But that is obviously uncovered so I'm trying to find somewhere covered for wet weather evenings! At the moment I have thought of the ikea under cover parking, where I will go and have a word with the store manager and see if that would be OK with them, or possibly buszy, but it depends how many skaters are still there in the evening! Also I used to be a soul regular scratcher;) I just havn't managed to get up there recently with everything that's going on!

teshi Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ikea might be a good shout. The owners of the one in North London and Neasden were awesome. They used to let the mature guys hold an actual car show there without any bother so they might be the same. I mean if skaters are no problem then see no reason why they would have a problem with rc drifters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_hawk111 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Sounds good hopfully they will be good for us too then! I didn't mean there would be a problem with the people that own buszy, it's more the skaters that are there as it is a skate park sort of, don't know if they would be upset if we took up a section to drift!

b_hawk111 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'll take my car to ikea one day in the week and check out the surface as I will probably be there quite a bit in the next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratcher Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The surface at the Buzy isn't ideal really. It's all paving slaps with odd heights and gaps. I go riding up there some times. Ikea would be good. It's only 5 minutes from me The store is open late (I think until 10?) though so it might still be busy in their car park. I'm trying to think what else is around. The CentreMK multi-storey maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_hawk111 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Where do you live then? I work in Mount farm and going to be living up Wolverton way! Yer that's cool about buszy, I havn't been there apart from delivering stuff, so havn't had a good look at the surface! Ikea should be good though! Yer even if they are open that late there might be a corner we can get into! Will have to see how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_hawk111 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Oh and we used to run in a must story I'm stevenage and the surface was way too grippy! Can give it a go but it might be too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratcher Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I live in Fenny Stratford so not too far from where you'll be. Yeah, it's definitely worth a shot. It's well lit up in there and easy access to Ikea hot dogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_hawk111 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Aha yer I know of fenny! Cool well this sounds pretty good then! And yes well up for some ikea hot dogs mid drift session! I might check the surface in the week and have a word, maybe we could have a cheeky drift one evening and see what we think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuttyProfessor Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Id be up for that too, I'm in st.albans but always worth a trip out to test my setup, using a Vaterra V100 mainly built for speed but it slips nice with drift tyres on I used to go to the Toys R Us meet run by Neil at Sundon Models years ago with my 13.5t powered brushless TT01 and they hated me because it was faster than their race cars so stopped going in the end.

Sounds good! I made a trip to ikea today! (mainly to ram my car with furniture) and checked out the area! There is some good bits that look nicely Un used by cars for parking under cover. The surface seems fairly smooth but also seems a bit grippy so might not be great for it but will be worth a go! I'll take my car down next trip there I make and check it out properly but should be fine for an under cover meet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Well if people have a set of hard slicks, can have some high speed sideways action if its too grippy. Good place to ask, what drift tyres do you boys use? I've got a few sets im trying out ranging from the HPI Toyo replica's and a set of yeah racing type d's but I've found the cheapest set I have from racing punk perform the best. I've always been a grip driver so its all new to me. My Vaterra Edited October 30, 2014 by NuttyProfessor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
