Brisca comp.

Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2009 9:13 am

We are planning a new winter league for the Brisca's starting in October. There will be cups for first 3 places and most improved, plus prizes. There will be 8 rounds and we need 18 regular drivers. If you want to take part please resister below. If we don't get enough registered the competition will not go ahead. Any Forc drivers wishing to enter will be welcome and our rules are extended to encompas their cars for this round, there seems to be little difference anyway. Control tyres for A finals as usual,

not many takers yet !! After a lot of thought and as we need to attract more drivers into the Brisca class, perhaps it is time to try a one motor series. Maybe restricting to the saturn 27 or the 23t ansmann. FORC also have a new low cost motor I am hoping to get a sample of to try. This would make competition between more inexperienced drivers closer, and the more skilled drivers would not be able to run so far away in the points as we have seen in the past.

Opinions please.

1 make 27 turn or Foxhall motor I will be in, As I have always said, Pete is bringing the motor to you this week. the new motor is the cheapest, But I do belive allowing the G2s as most drivers have one of these in there tool box.

Hi all with much thought i be happy to go brushless next year , as long as we all stick to one type and maybe a pinion for each track , fed up with killing brushed motors , could have had quite a few systems this year with what i spent on brushed ones and i not raced much Crying or Very sad

long way to come for a club meeting and kill another motor , just spoils a bloody good night out over yours , miss the club and track alot good laugh over there , but been reading a few posts and looks like your not getting many brisca drifts or am i wrong ? but should have a few things sorted next year so be able to come back over for some more fun , good luck with the rest of ya meeting this year Wink

Mate with the amount of money you will be spending on a brushless set is most likley more then most of us would spend on a second hand car, I feel following Foxhalls way of thinking would help Felixstowe more, Foxhall now has over 20 drivers there was 15 on Friday and some were at the World finals for full size at Kings lynn, so it Proves keeping the cost down is what people want and to be Honest it was Pete in the First place that got it going, so He must be doing something right, Also I would not buy a Drift car and come back and spend even more money where I can only use a car Locally at 1 Track, whereas going in with Foxhall you have the choice and the chance to tap into 2 clubs drivers which should make more numbers therefore better meetings, Also by lowering the Motor size cars are more controllerable for Learners and Makes closer racing and Damage would come down like it was at the start, and please take into account if it was not fun at the start which it was the class would have folded then not got bigger,so like at lot of things in Life we should at the start said if its not broke dont fix and at the start it was brilliant.

Also Mate take into account at one stage there was something like 24 Every Weds night, Yes I know about Politics, People falling out and other hidden agendas, But hopefully that could be in the past and it could become 1 strong Class again.
Felixstowe has about 5-7 drivers, Foxhall 20+, contact the drivers who have come and gone, or left because of stuff, Tom, The Cooks, etc etc, you could be back up to 35 plus in this area within 6 weeks.
but I do belive keeping it cheap and fun is the answer, within 20 miles of Felixstowe you have 3 other Mardave clubs, running a total of 9 different class already, so you have to be careful as people are spending a lot out a week already, you dont need mega damage on a class you WOULD NOT normally carry spares for.

Only a thought.

But let me know before I buy another car LOL.

Yer you are right with keeping it cheap but you can now buy brushless combo very cheap now , ive not looked to see how much myself but been told about £50 ish now , i know that it is more than a tener but i would go thou more than 5 motors a year very easy , so cheaper , but for speed gear them down to the speed we are all happy with , job done , i for one know all about money matters with what i have and still going throu so it makes very good sence to do this , but with only racing at one place thats down to the people who run them , might be worth asking people to want thay want to use .All i want to do is go to what ever club race have fun as cheap as i can to do so with as many people what want the same , and if we all got on better with each other without all the bitching all clubs would have better turn outs more fun for All Very Happy

Mate I understand, BUT, To tell someone that the 40-60 quid they have just spend on a TT-01 or Maverick etc, is Only Half and when they get it they have to replace this and that and then that drift car goes from 50 to double I dont think Well actually I know I spoke to 2 people on Friday night who has just come in to the sport and the reason was It was cheap.

Dont forget you still have to add a shell another tenner, and maybe new tyres.

Also I blew a motor once and got told I was gearing the car wrong and putting strain in the motor so if that is correct then thats the answer, As for 50 or 4 x 6 quid (new motors are only 6 quid) I can afford a 6 quid motor every 3 months But I would not and I am sure many others would not or could not afford 50 up front,False econmny maybe But if life was that simple we would all be driving New cars without MOTs and living in New houses that dont need Maintence, You buy what you can afford, I feel alot of this trouble and losing numbers at Felixstowe started with all the talk of Brushless, have a different Class for Brushless Like I said in sept 07 Have like a Basic clubmans class that has One set of rules, Simple rules 2-3 Motors up to 25 turn, and the only other things you can change are Gearing Batteries, ESC, and servos.The Basics. as Foxhall is Basically.
and then another class for Unlimted.

you can tell there is no bike Racing on Tele today LOL.

We don't intend to introduce brushless even as a seperate class at the present time. Looking at our rules and Foxhalls there really seems to be little difference. After all it was Pete who was the driving force and helped formulate our rules. If you want to look after the interests of all our local racers then it is to everyones benefit if all local clubs run to the same rulebook. Then drivers can benefit from racing at all venues without having to modify their cars.

The predominant difference in our rules relates to size of motors, with us at form being the only club that now allows the 21turn Ansmann. I am quite happy to run in line with Foxhall's motor rule and correct me if I am wrong the rest is very similar.
