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

Northy 27-01-2006 05:53 PM

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

Oscar 27-01-2006 07:48 PM

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

Northy 27-01-2006 08:41 PM

Cheers

Hope the 12V lasts ok :(

Oscar 27-01-2006 09:02 PM

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

Oscar 27-01-2006 09:06 PM

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!!

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 !

Oscar 29-01-2006 10:38 PM

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

jimmy 29-01-2006 10:41 PM

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..

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
