Great track, great day (sunshine no rain, happy days):thumbsup:
Big hand clap for the guys who organised it.:thumbsup:
Had a nightmare with the cars all day, 2wd (mad monkey) had interference (2.4 ?) change reciever three times, finally swapping tx solved problem, but same tx (dx3r) for the 4wd ok ?.:confused:
4wd (lazer zx5 sp) had gearbox problems,just a s--t day hey ho everybody has them.:(
Did'nt help being over medway hospital till 1.30 am with my old man and a dislocated shoulder:(
Was hoping to give you boys some competition seing as i was 2wd champion 2010/2011 at MERCC.And 2nd in 4wd.Hopefully next time i'll have better luck.:thumbsup:

See you all soon.

Mick Spindley.

Be great to see you again, and the other MERCC guys. I popped down to see you the other week, but disaster struck me on the electronic front. However, being in the last heat I managed to get a view of the talent on display and I don't doubt for a minute that there's going to be fight for some wins. If you won the champs against that lot there certainly will be even tighter battles for top spot. :thumbsup:

Next round is Round 3 at Coastal on the 22nd of May (That's right, 3 weeks!!!). It's best 4 scores from 6 so there is still plenty more racing and points to be had. ;)

Thanks for the car info too - just updated the results sheet for you;)

There is also a club meet this Sunday, so a good chance to get used to the place, track lay out won't be the same for the Regional though;)

Windy wasn't the word!! I honestly struggled to stand up at times and had to learn forward to keep steady, but this meant no one else on the rostrum could see!! :lol: Sorry peeps! :woot:

A really great meeting with some outstanding racing all day. A big thank you to Colchester model car club and Mr H.

Be thankful Mr Myalls Granite/ Diamond Yok went into retirement. It would have swallowed the car whole. 3 days later it would've emerged slightly browner, slighty smellier and not resembling a CAT (Schumacher or feline!)

I will not mention a certain back straight at the 3,4,5s at Silverstone Ben....:p:blush: Honest, it was a marshalls fault.

After what can only be described as a day to forget, you and the yok burn the image so deep into the brain it will haunt me forever. :lol:
