peters used the corridor for the shop before, its just that pitting up there- everything rolls off!! lol

Jimmy, is mains available?
My 12 volts a bit fooked! :(

there is a VERY limited supply of mains in the hall.

Cheers

Hope the 12V lasts ok :(

There are about 4 sockets thats all, there are 1 or 2 in the corridor I think.

Anyone know who this is?

Name: Mark Smith
brca: 4804
classes: 2WD

He left no email or phone number, and still tried to book in despite website stating all places are taken. If anybody knows him, he is currently 2nd reserve and we need a contact for him to let him know if space becomes available (I think its quite possible)

throughly enjoyed today! really good stuff. didnt do as well as i wanted but im not bothered! i was put in a top heat with a few big boys, which i actually enjoyed so i could see how far away from there standard is, my aim was to get a 12 lapper and came VERRRYY close twice!

11 in 301 - 1 second away! then 11 in 300.78! qualified 2nd in the D, finished 2nd in the D and got a trophy!!

met a few people also, nice to get along with em!

definatly going next year, although i need more practise on wooden flooring!!

I was gonna go over to watch today, but domestic politics stopped that. Hope all went well, who won each class ?

cragg 2wd, and i forgot the blokes name who won 4wd, he was in my heat though. (wheres the embarresed similie when you need it)

that would ba a certain mr Lawson then

thats the one, forgot his name!

Man, im tired... had a good time, qualified B 6, no idea where i finished as it was a bit of a lottery but still fun.
here are a couple of images for now till i sorted out my new computer and get the reat online..

Had an abysmal day today, in terms of performance. Led the D for over 4 mins by around 1/3 lap, got caught twice by back markers which let Paul through and also young Ben. A fitting end to a poor driving performance.
On the whole though I did enjoy the event, and I think from the feedback I had most other people did also. Considering the entry (just under 110) I think the day ran without any major problems, a good Omen for the National indoor finals I hope.
Look forward to seeing everyone again in 2007 !

Jimmy for your info:
7th 11 in 308.74 26.45 best lap

Man thats by far my worst time of the day, 2 seconds slower on the best lap too!
Still, i had fun!!!

Glad so many turned up and supported the event also, it was great..

Look forward to seeing the photos Jimmy, i was all set to come up today but a bad take-away but paid to that so a bit gutted i could not make it.

Apt choice of words :-)

Lot of good drivers in one place which is always good. Well done to neil and steve for their wins..

results here: http://web.onetel.com/~jprice/mtg1/heats.htm

I'll stick the photos up tonight, I was still learning the ins and outs of the canon beastie, but im happy with the results, I used the flash quite a bit towards the end (when it was just the hall lights for illumination) and It did a good job in high speed sync

Not me i was fine but my wife was not :(

Jimmy, it will take a little bit of time to get the hang of the camera and what it can do, be even better when you are outdoors. Btw what iso were you using 800 / 1600 ?

1600, I think it was definately acceptable, I probably could have got away with 800 early on.

Just uploading the photos now, http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/supercup2006
might take a while as im downloading a few things..
some decent ones, wish i'd got more of the other type of photos, peoples cars and the like but hey..

Photos look spot on to me, i like the one of the x10 were the tyre is being forced off the rim. I do like the pit shot's sometimes see some interesting stuff. And the spy shots are class :)

And the noise in the photos is fine, i find when you print stuff its less noticeable, than on a screen.

I do have some more "pit photos" to put up, but they were exciting enough to warrent their own gallery rather than get bunged in with the rest.. just photos of ellis staffords development 2wd and his xx4 (which ill stick in the review)

Good pics Jimmy!

Do you have any of my car while racing?

I bet Jim didn't know his tire was coming off! :)

G

What you on about mate, i got one here!!

http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/super.../batley33.html

hehehehe

nah ill have a look later mate, i think i did, but youre so fast it might be blurry! ;)

The only bloody crash I had in the final and you got it! :)

I sort of got dragged into that one, was concentrating on passing those two and just followed them when they crashed :(

I know !!! It was ace, i watched you one, two, three... not looking where you were actually going but following the leader as it were.. hehe..

blimey havent seen jamie booth runnin a 1/10th in years, what was he running ????

He was running an ex.cragg B4, still with neils paint on. Looked to get faster and faster during the day as he got used to the car.
aparently a lad asked him if he'd done electric before... lol :p

lmao i can imagine the look on jamies face at that one :O

Jimmy, nice piccies but where are all the pictures of that good looking lad giving all the trophies out at the end? ;)

Chris
