So last national of the year, looking forward to it and hope its a dry one

Seems quiet on here though

Shake it up here there then bavver!

Whoever is the first reserve in 2 and 4 wd, get prepping!!
I'll be canceling my entry tomoz :-((

If anyone needs any acetone, greases, glue, activator then please can you drop me a pm so I know to bring enough for everyone
Thanks

Way to shake it up Bav

Rob_B told me yesterday he was first reserve for 4wd, it's even his birthday that weekend!

Looking at the weather, best bet is to be stocking up on BB greens I would guess.

Good job they have a new distributor in XFactory UK, get those orders in ASAP I would suggest.

LOL!!!

Will there be anyone at Southport selling BB tyres, greens!!

keith

I'll be up there and have stock. You can reserve them before hand if you like and i'll bring them with me. Just select track pickup to avoid postal charges.

How is the field looking with all this rain and will it be an issue for caravans this weekend??

Also the entrance gets a bit tricky so will we be entering via other entrance?

J

Well my trusty WeatherPro app is reckoning decent weather for sat/sun, quite a decent day on Sunday at the mo. So i wouldn't be so hasty cancelling your entry's.

The field is probably pretty damn wet, it was holding water on Sunday when we went after Woodvale so I'd expect it to be pretty wet.

NO! we can ONLY use the proper entrance by the garden center. Especially with caravans. It's no trickier than the other entrance. We'll tie the gate back to stop it from swinging closed!

DO NOT USE THE OTHER ENTRANCE AS THE POLICE MAY TICKET YOU IF CAUGHT!!

Mate, I recon its going to be really boggy. Its been raining for two days around the Merseyside area. Not sure if Southport has had this much though.....

Hi Keith, as Dan has already mentioned we have them available now through X-Factory UK, from our existing dealers I know for a fact that "Mr O Racing" (Les Orbell) will have plenty of BB stock with him this weekend and as Kev (Inside Line) has also mentioned he has good stock with him already also.

I am not certain as of yet if any of our other dealers are attending the event as a "shop", but if I hear of any more today that are and they have Ballistics for sale with them I will add them to this thread also........

Best Wishes

Darren, XF UK

To add to my post above, Mat Dodd from "Servo Shop" in Frodsham, Cheshire has confimed that he will be attending with good stocks of BB Tyres and Inserts also, so it seems plenty of trackside choices at present......

As it stands those I am aware of all with confirmed good stocks are;

Inside Line Racing - (Kevin Lee)
Mr O Racing - (Les Orbell)
Ross Mods
Servo Shop - (Mat Dodd)

If I hear of any more as the meeting draws closer I will add them to the list........ :thumbsup:

As Darren has said ill have good stocks of Ballistic Green's and foams with me. If anyone wants some reserving drop me a pm or call the shop tomorrow and ill bring them on Saturday for you.

Mat

I'll be there with my balls out if anyone wants to take a look:drool::drool:

yeah come have a look at the now world famous BudsBalls!!! Or maybe even a screw from him as well!!!!

Oh, put me down for a set of ballistics please

Are ballistic 2wd fronts avilable yet ?

Bring your Wellies. :thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

Too much to ask to have a national with no rain??
Thought so :thumbdown:

I don't think I've ever been to a Southport National where it hasn't rained at some point...

emily
you missed the word "heavily" out

I have just seen Ross Mods post on the forum also, confirming they have good stocks of Ballistics too, so have added them to the above (growing) list too :thumbsup:

Well, just been up to the track, it looks fantastic, completely clean and fresh looking. The new fence and straight works that have been done look great too.

I would say with the track layout and the amount of slippy astro being used BB are going to be used most of the day obviously if it wet. The field is not that bad at the min although it is soggy, so let’s hope the rain stays away.

It's spitting!!! :p

good luck to all this weekend! can you keep me informed who's dominating who, belsten or stants:thumbsup:?
enjoy guys, gutted not to be there (in a way)

any news there guys??

Cragg tq and win as far as I know so gives him the championship for associated !

Congratulations Neil! top job.

anybody know what cars finished top ten today?(2wd)

Congrats to cragg, how did the dex210 do?

Who did the winning today?

Cragg tq'd

Think tom cockerill won the 1st leg unsure on the others

From what ive heard. Ellis and Neil both tied on points, cragg won with a faster time.

Ellis running FS2 / 511 / something else?

Was Lee there?

Ellis was running 511,

Craggy did a beyond what I thought was possible in the 3rd leg off the final he had a bad start dropped a couple of places then just went like a ballitic missle to take Ellis for the win it went right to the wire with Ellis absolutely awesome the top 3 went really well ,cragg Stafford Martin pretty spectacular

Craggys dad was pretty speechless

Buds

Really? I was under the impression he would be running the X-7...
