I think people get a bit confused with racing, either that or most racers I know are doing it wrong. For me racing is fun and lets off some steam. I understand it may not be for everyone, but the way some folk talk you would think racing isnt fun, if thats the case I would have stopped ages ago and went back to bashing.
I do enjoy a bash, but for me it was at its best in the days when we got Nino's bag of tricks and set up a track with the rope and added a few home made jumps in. Then get a few wee mini races on the go, seeing a baja land on top of my hyper was impressive, but just to go up and down straights does nothing for me, I like a wee competitive edge to the bash. Gets the banter flowing well, when someones bins it on the last jump and you trickle past for the win.
I am pretty sure the 1/5 scale track at Ayr is closed, thats certainly what I heard a while ago. Nobody ever turned up so the club shut up shop. (although thats only what I heard, but I did hear it from a few folk). Plus the track was supposed to be flat, pretty much pancake like.
Will be good to see a new track up and running though, as I have had an urge to get the bandit or monster truck out a few times when I havent made the trip to CSOR, but those weekends always seemed to have been crawl weekends.
