Ooh dare anyone have a different view. Get real. I am just having my say. The moderators who make the decisions will decide. I know someone who found out thier daughter had topped herself in a hospital 2 hours after the first farcebook post so in my mind it really isnt fair or humane to encourage uninformed internet chat about this kind of thing. Inglenookfan

Yup but how many posts are actually informed? All i see are links to info that may be speculation, irrelevant speculation and as i am now arguing i think it should be closed. Honestly; every topic about a crash leads to pages of cr@p. Force a stop and encourage members to discuss the FACTS when they are known. Inglenookfan

To be honest i think as soon as anyone starts a post about an accident it should be locked or removed. It will put a stop to armchair investigation and sharing uninformed speculation and accusation so rmweb doesnt lower itself to the same poor standards of the uk media. When all the facts are presented and relatives and injured have had time to grieve then talk about it if you really cant help yourselves. That or re-educate and join a body of professional accident investigation and help make a difference. For the love of god just close this. It is the same as all the other accident topics and pointless. Inglenookfan

Gary Thank you for the info. I really liked the old Adelaide circuit. I was there in '92 and '93 for the GP and really enjoyed myself. It was very cheap general admin tickets and the street parties were great fun. Have you been to Bathurst? I went in those two years after wanting to so much as a kid. All the best Inglenookfan

Gary Thank you for the link and teaser pics. The website is under construction or under going change so i will check back another time. Who where and what is in the race car photo on the wall of the cave? Inglenookfan

Some hours ago i found Frankland. After a couple of pages i thought that i really must congratulate you on what you do but now after i have seen everything i have i dont know where to even begin congratulating you. Simply amazing and thank you for sharing it all with us. If there is life after death please let it be in Frankland. Inglenookfan

My lord that is a big layout in the last post. What is it called? Has it got a website? Glad to hear Industry Lane was well received in Sinners. Have you got a teaser photo/plan of the new layout you are building? Inglenookfan

Thank you Jones. Where next? Inglenookfan

Bufferstops are handy Inglenookfan

It is little things like this that make sh#t days better. Thank you Jones. Did you use the mini bar in the hotel? Inglenookfan

More he cries! More! Am really looking forward to seeing this develop. Ingelnookfan

I reckon a little lathe should be purchased(cheap chinese bench thing) for making axles to fit small sealed bearings and I am thinking home brew wheels that are flanged front and back for stability. I would definitely separate the driving wheels from the pick ups and tyre bands for grip. Like alot of things; resistance is a problem. You have mechanical, wind, heat and electrical in this case. The 'test mile' and lead up track needs to be as straight and flat as is possible. The track needs to have as little variance of voltage along its whole length and of the best material for conductivity. Same goes for anything involved on the electrical side of things regarding resistance and conductivity. Weight isnt a prob if you can have a run up so maybe maybe make a bespoke flat floor(low CofG) out of alloy to use as a heat sink for the motor(s) which may see little gain in performance over such short runs but should extend the life of the motor(s). The flat alloy floor is good for aero, longevity, and stability all in one go. Aero is cheap to experiment with. Flat bottom the underneath as above, fair in the wheels and flush glaze or tape windows etc. Every surface jut needs to be smooth step/indent free and no sharp changes from one surface to another. Hatchbacks please leave the room! . As with alot of performance things(machine or human) there is alot to be had in marginal gains, once they are all added up, before lashing out on expensive shiny bits. Inglenookfan

For drag racing you could have Slamdoorers. For cars it is Doorslammers Inglenookfan

What fun! I was only thinking how one could do a wall of death with a model train the other day. Since then i have thought of building the worlds fastest ride on lawn mower and dreamt up an electric drag bike that will run in a future class called Top Volt. All this after reading about the Straightliners UK weekend at Elvington. Do you have pics and vids? Inglenookfan

I like Rod. He still manages to sound like he did as a younger man. Maybe not quite the same but pretty good i reckon. If you haven't heard this ... Python Lee Jackson - In a Broken Dream .... find it, close the man cave door and turn it up to 11! Inglenookfan
