Just got in from today's pendle club meeting, had a real good day. The track is proper off-road with some serious bumps that need to be learned fast. Combine this with big jumps that need to be taken just right and you have a track that demands some respect.



I only took about 5 pictures all day, (no buggy action pics - just a couple of the truggies) so no gallery, but I'll stick-up a couple of track pics later.

I'm starving, and Roast Dinner is nearly ready, later.

Ace day out on Sunday.

We got lost on the way to pick Jimmy & Vicky up, but got there in the end.

I’m not exactly sure what the event was, it was run through Ripon Car Club and all the pic’s are in ‘Wass Woods’ up on top of Sutton Bank.

The same stage was run twice, once through just before lunch and one just after.

There was this marshal-dude with a massive egg growing out of his head – I wanted to take a picture of it but I thought he may not like it. It was amazing.

I had loads of pickle on my butties, they were great.

That’s about all really.

Vintage racing at York yesterday. Still enough entries for one heat - not a roaring success but enough for us have a good nights racing, so all's well.

G put the Procat on pole, my XLS second, then Jim’s RC10. The 'MEDDERS' Procat went well all night in fourth, pushing me on occasion. Keith's similar car was in fifth, then the diabolically handling Cobra driven Tom in last.

The RC10 runs very nicely, almost as well as a modern 2wd - fast enough to keep pace with the CAT's. The car shows what can be done with an old school chassis with modern electrics.

By the 1990 date rule Tom's Cobra should not have been running, but as the technology and design of the car is very much in the spirit of the event it was not a problem - it was after all the slowest car there.

In the final I made a mistake on lap 1, letting Jim chase G for...

I haven't had one yet today.

The pressure is building......

Or at least I think so....

Today I had McCain micro chips and a McCain micro toastie for my dinner. I think Julie must have negotiated some sort of deal with them

They were very nice actually, well worth a try.
