    the village near where we race is called aghalee origionally agalee so i guess the search engine is collecting the letters and since we race 1/8 makes perfect sence since it is in the postal addy of the club.

    Dublin, I was thinking an occasional visit to NNN but kart city/boys toyz SAY they have a track on the way but they're taking their time- that would be ideal.

    :mad:Actualy speaking of boys toyz- terrible service. Waiting since christmas for 1 part. Each week they said it would take only 1 more. Last week called to say they had it and they'ed hold it. But no they sold it to someone else. With the threat of returning the buggie, Im getting the pull start for free.

    Seamus,
    I would highly recommend the Navan Nitro Nuts track. Really nice track (astroturf) and a great bunch of guys up there who will make you feel very welcome.

    nnn is a great choice of track nice guys and fun to drive on i go down on their club rounds .if your heading up make sure you bring a tyre with a spike as the astro is slippy in temps under 15degrees .

    Hi Seamus,
    We have GRP Jolly tyres in stock (GRP are like the Pirelli of rc racing) and a set of four tyres mounted on rims is €40.

    Hi Eugene,
    Dont stock Truggy tyres/rims cause class is still very new/small here but I can get them in no problem for anyone looking for them.

    Hi Flunked,
    Thanks for the signature tip.

    Regards,

    Hi Barkley,
    Thanks for the tip. Last time I raced in Navan was during the Summer hence the tyre choice but if anyone requires the GRP Conespike Tyre I'd be happy to order them in.

    Hi Seamus,
    The Jolly is a good general use tyre. Barkley is one of the country's top buggy racers and would be looking for the best possible tyre for the conditions at the time but I think for most guys the Jolly would do the job. Maybe Barkley can give him expert opinion on that.

    Most of our sales are done trackside as we like to offer support to our customers but if you like to call and see what we have to offer please e-mail me and we can arrange. We don't do any online sales.

    Regarding the signature I did input it in the CParea as suggested but it doesn't appear when I make post. Any tips?

    keep in mind that in damp or wet conditions a spike is better of any sort and in dry conditions a pin tyre is better so maybe if you buy one set of each that will cover you. personally a set of tyres last me about 45 mins of run time .as the tips wear the grip goes .the tyres still look ok but when racing every little helps. for normal running in the park or whatever a set may last you a year :)
