There is no mention of book in time. If anyone about still, any ideas on what time we have to be there?

Yup that's been said a lot, is on the website etc, but no time for book in etc. Not sure what time I have to be there.

Cool race! Congrats to all involved. I am looking forward to December already... a year away!

I've not got many photos to share. There was simply nowhere to stand to get photos from so gave up after first round of qualifying. Here are some of the few photos I took:

Venue was awesome, only downside was spectator area was very limited due to the oversized (imo) scrutineering area. Can't have it all I suppose.

It's a shame though, considering I only took a very small amount of photos I was quite cuffed with results. Good artificial light mixed with natural light was great for photos. if only I had chance to take some more.... ah well I am sure oOple will have plenty (of better) photos to look at anyway.

The rest of mine are here:

The photos of people @ the event that flanders took are all up on Facebook (can't tag some as some people not my friends on FB). They came out really well, nice job mush! :D

I'd like to say a really big thanks to the guys at Maritime..for a bunch of touring car organisers you put on a hell of an off road show :p

Great track, well run and really good venue.

So when is the regional though there :woot:

you didnt drop it did you ?

strobe 18-01-2009 10:07 PM

Saved you having to get a bigger trophy cabinet:p

Big E 18-01-2009 10:16 PM

I didn't drop it but it did smash in to a million pieces :bored:

It was sat, in the big bag I got, on the floor and the next thing I know the bag fell over and it was the end of the trophy :cry:

great weekends racing
good venue
great organisation

Darren Boyle 18-01-2009 10:24 PM

Dont believe Ellis guys, he was so gutted to get beat in both classes narrowly that he kicked it down down all three flights of stairs..........

Not really, but if you saw the look on his face when he heard the smash when the bag fell over....priceless

In all seriousness, to add to what Ellis put, I was there for the 2wd/Truck on saturday to support the team lads and I have to fully agree it was a great event, well run and a HUGE amount of effort put in by all involved, from all of us here at DMS and X-Factory UK thanks to Nicholas from Petit and Ian and all his crew at Maritime for a wonderful event. (Look forward to seeing more off road there in the not too distant future)

Ian's a legend!

what a great character. kept the meeting bang on schedule & made sure everybody was where they needed to be all weekend. one of the very best :)

he must have a good sense of humour too as nobody else with a voice like that would wear a T shirt with "no one ever listens to me" on the front :lol:
he musta been a drill instructor in a previous life! :lol:

just one thing................

can we get a lift installed before the next one as i'm a fat knacker & those stairs nearly killed me with my 2 hauler bags :rolleyes::lol:
