THE TRUCKS LAND THIS WEEKENDIT LANDS ON OUR DOORSTEPS THIS WEEKEND 
Can we have the truck champs back, commencing on the 6 round of the club champs? That gives us 10 rounds again.
Some suggestions open to the floor: -
Minimum of 3 drivers to book in for truck class for meeting to go ahead 
3 races per meet? 10 points win; 8 second etc etc
All Truck Champ points from qualification, no finals unless more than 6 book in maybe? Half points from qualy half points from Finals?
And finally and some may think a tad controversial; All points from SC10's in truck champs to be tripled, then add 10 further bonus points, then add to overall end of season club champs obtained from 4WD entry only? Like I said, controversial. But either that or no points for club champs at all  
Oh and finally, 3 dropped rounds? 7 from 10 to count or 8 or .........

Mine should be ready for action for the weekend
|
BenH

Not for me. Mine will be ready for R6.
I have some serious Yok and S4 rebuilding and preperation to do before the weekend and not enough time to do it.
The SC10 is nearly ready but the shell is leaving in a box to be sprayed in the morning. Will not see it again until after the SEN.
Could get a truck together for the weekend, but it will be a major push.

Think my wife would kill me if I went and got one though

Good work!!!
I have just given Jon Miller a blank canvas and free reign on the shell. No idea what it's gonna come back like. 
Be ready for 1st Round of the trucks though in a weekish time.
I was ordering some new CVD's from Jconcepts earlier and nearly, so very nearly went a bought the JC shell.  It was the air scoop that nearly cost me!!!

I can't continue, someone will think it's a lovers tiff.
If you do, great, but I will be watching from the sidelines, shell-less and jealous.

Now, if we're to re-introduce a Truck Championship we need to keep it as simple as possible.....so, hows about: 3 races of 15 laps, scoring 10 down to 1; all entries in each race....and no marshals!
We could have race 1 before the meeting proper starts, race 2 after qualifying, and race 3 after the finals.

Sounds good to me Jim
Not to sure about having no marshalls. Maybe 2 or three helpers around the track, just for when i t-bone hubbard into the undergrowth
Wiggles, i will have mine with me but its a bit to short notice to start racing them this weekend. Next club champs should be good to go.

Sounds good to me. I'll bring the steak sauce, you'll need it to make the bitter taste of defeat easier to swallow Fairweather! 
I am sure we could find ourselves a volunteer Truck Rectifier. (Dont say Marshall  We'll jazz it up a bit)
15 laps!!! Better bring out the BIG cells. That'll be closing on 10minutes

like it
you should be fine ben. we will just have to try it, i dont think they will be a huge amount slower than the buggies over the course a a race.
slower is faster and all that

So long as I am nose to tail with at least one other person, I'll be happy if with it lasting 45 minutes!
Electrics are going in this weekend after the Yok has had some TLC.
I have read that some are doubling on the shims on the Sun gears. Have you done that George. I haven't put any power through mine yet and don't know if it's gonna be rattley. I am assuming you haven't fought the urge and given yours a spin?
