It's a shame because i prefer 2WD and i think the racing is closer and far more enjoyable.

Top meeting today by the Ayr boys. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole meeting, both classes. Well done to Kenny Clark in 4wd and John Allan in 2wd. I was 5th overall in 4wd and 9th overall in 2wd.
Gotta mention Jamie Mcaffrey winning the raffle prize, couldn't happen to a nicer fella.
Roll on next year
Scotty....

raymondkerr 27-11-2011 07:01 PM

Well said Scotty, another great day, well done to Big Chris and the Ayr club for a fantastic track, and congrats to Kenny and John for their respective wins. Looking forward to next time. My result was better than expected, qualified 6th in the 2WD and 7th in the 4WD.

whizzy 27-11-2011 08:40 PM

Well done Chris & the rest of the Ayr team.
Its always one of my favourite meetings of the year.
Some great racing and plenty of laughs.

msg 27-11-2011 09:31 PM

Had a great day racing indoors for the first time in about 20 years! Big thanks to Chris and the Ayr club for a great event.
And a fantastic turnout as well, can only be good for Scottish RC.

bigchris 27-11-2011 10:00 PM

cheers guys , it will be back next year biger and better! , more lessons learned and it will be even better!:thumbsup:

traffman 27-11-2011 11:42 PM

Excellent days racing , cheers Chris .

Great to see the numbers up on before aswell.:thumbsup:

orinoco 28-11-2011 10:17 AM

Great meeting with really good numbers. Well done and thanks to Chris and the Ayr club. Only wish my driving was better, or the wall at the end of the straight was made from sponge instead of brick. Jamie thoroughly enjoyed himself and was well chuffed with his 2nd place trophy. He had been coveting that buggy kit junior prize all day. He was ecstatic when his name was pulled from the hat. Thanks to Muchmore for sponsoring it, nice touch. Roll on 2012.

GBH 28-11-2011 10:34 AM

Thanks to Chris, Joss and the Ayr club for holding and running this great meeting. It was my first big off-road meeting indoors for years and years.
Hopefully more of these meetings can be organized next year given the turn out to this one and off-road in Scotland will start a real come back :thumbsup:

Regards, George

Dave77 28-11-2011 12:50 PM

I will echo whats already been said, a great day and credit to Chris and his team for organising the day, and also making the effort on Saturday for the Aberdeen bunch "from the stix" ;)

I ran 2wd and it started out expensive with my cheapy core radio shutting down in practice resulting in an end of the straight interface. I lost confidence in the equipment so George kindly sold me new Sanwa radio kit to replace it. So with no practice and my first proper race meet for 17 years I was a little apprehensive.

Pleased with a 5th on the grid for the A and finished 4th overall after the two leg finals with countback going in Dave "discothesnake"s favour as he outqualified me so he took 3rd. So close to a trophy I was gutted :p

Some really good close racing going on though and felt good to be back.

Roll on 2012.

jason-l 28-11-2011 02:45 PM

Thanks for organising, Chris and co. Was my first time participating in such a large event and felt good to be part of it.

I'll echo that comment! The 'Wall of Justice' ate my chassis... fortunately Dave was able to loan me a spare so I could make the finals after some frantic spannering. Thanks, Dave :thumbsup:

Is there a link to results and photos online?

Apricot Slice 28-11-2011 02:59 PM

That was fantastic. Am real stoked I got me a trophy to bring back to Aberdeen.
Thanks to Chris and the Ayr team for putting such a super event.
And a thanks to the top drivers too. Its a real pleasure to watch the cars being driven to the limits.

discothesnake 28-11-2011 03:33 PM

As everyone else said, a great days racing at a great meeting again. Well donr Chris and team. Just a shame i lost my title but well done John and Kenny. By far the best racers on the day. Although i did enjoy my racing with Dave77.

Looking forward to next event and roll on outdoors!!! :thumbsup:

Regards

Dave

dasbo 28-11-2011 08:01 PM

What can I say that hasnt already been said.

Top meeting. Top folk. Top racing. Even managed to scrape into the A final and mix it with the big 'uns. Hopefully there will be more of that to come during next years SORC.

Lessons Learned?
Do not have "a few sherbets" the night before and do not use large walls as track boundary.:blush:

chris

orinoco 29-11-2011 09:38 AM

It was already assembled Stevie, first thing he did when we got back. However, he wants to trade it for a new unpainted shell and new wheels (must be yellow) and tyres for his B4. If santa brings him a 4wd buggy he wants matching shells on both cars! He also thought that if Santa knew he had just got a new buggy he might not give him a 4wd, so check the for sale section.

StevieD 29-11-2011 10:27 AM

Its up to jamie to be a good boy all the way to christmas.so he can get a 4wd.you think he can manage it.

orinoco 29-11-2011 12:16 PM

Hope so, I've asked Santa for one too!
