Thank you! Think this Baker thing is going to stick!!

Great meeting today guys, well done again to the Torch Team, loved the track layout. As ever some super close racing all done with a smile on our faces, just as it should be.

Thanks,

Well done to everyone involved for making it a really good days racing. Really makes a difference not having any rain! Much more pleasurable.

The results are up for this round on the website. You can view them directly by Clicking here. Apologies for the series results but the software is really behaving badly on this so you will have to wait till tomorrow till I can get these sorted and up.

Super quick Grant spot on!

Cheers for getting the results up so quickly grant :thumbsup:

Really enjoyed the racing today with you and baker/barker or whatever he's called :lol:

Thanks to all the committee for running a super smooth event as always. Track was very good, but boy was it cold.
I was pleased with my increase in speed, but alas, at the cost of consistency. I will blame that on the temperature, as it was quite uncomfortable on the rostrum. Must try and concentrate a bit better.
Thanks to all my awning buddies, Mark, Dave, Jamie for a great day.
Looking forward to 2 weeks time.
Good luck to all the TORCH members competing in Regionals at Silverstone next week.

I popped down for a bit today to have a look and the racing looked awesome, can't wait to get started. Is there anyway of practising there first as I've never run offroad before or should I just enter the next meeting and just hope I don't launch the car into the pits at the first turn? :D

Hi, best thing to do if you need more practice is to run your car in a field or park to get a bit more used to it and just enter a meeting and see how you get on, maybe try some of the half day meetings held most Sundays first before going into the deep end in an all day race. The marshalls are always on the track to get your car back on :-)

Every Sunday is a half day unless advertised as one of the all day championship rounds.There are club handout transponders but that may change when the club moves over to the newer AMB/MyLaps rc4 decoder. We are a friendly lot and we will help you out.

Ok guys, got the final bits for my car today, so hopefully if the assembly and installation of the ESC from my tc goes ok, I'll be racing Sunday. What do I need to enter/pay etc? #mobilechicane

No pre booking needed just turn up and pay when you bookin.

Grant,

How we getting on with the overall standings then:thumbsup:

Cheers,
James.
