    National Day 2009, soap box race???

    IF we have 2009 at a circuit again how about we sort a soap box race between us...

    I'm sure that between us we can come up with some rules and regs and even marshall our own event to run at lunch time or after the AGM....

    I know Mallory have hosted these from a ramp at the hairpin coming down the devils elbow onto the start/finish straight.....

    something like this.....

    Would a lighter or a heavier driver be more beneficial?

    Re: National Day 2009, soap box race???

    I have no idea.............sorry....

    my guess is that the heavier the slower it would pick up pace until a certain point....then it should gain speed quicker...

    so, we would need a weight maximum and minimum....

    you up for wearing the sore peni5 helmet again then Dawn, LOL
