Well my weekend was interesting. Saturday i didnt really pull it all together. Had a good round 4 but by which time it was to little to late. Had a great final even though i didnt win it. I have to say i was loving my move into the first corner.

And today well.... Went out in practise in the pouring rain. And car went ok was a bit slippy but ok. Round 1 was a crash fest between me, neil and Poor Andy Mountford (Sorry Andy). Round 2 cash smashed into the back of me. Breaking my rear pivot block and my diff outdrives and saver cups. Got it fixed. 5 minutes before round 3 I found my front wheel was a bit tight in places so took the LCD out and found it was gunged up. Which meant i missed round 3. Round 4 put it on the line and found it had on and off throttle found out that one of my reciever wires had snapped off my speedo. Thanks to Matt For fixing it for me :thumbsup:. Then after qualifying dead last. After changing most of the car. Diff tension, slipper, shock oils, springs, shock positions. I put it on the line and find that the posative battery wire had a bad joint on the speedo so it broke off. So it was a bad day.

So thanks for everyone who helped me.

Well done to Blitz and Jeff for marhalling on saturday.

Well dont to stan the man for 2nd on saturday.

Thanks to Dan for the push on friday.

Also message from my mum. Griff you have nice hair and skin. Rish Lowe you have nice eyes. lol

Lucky with the weather today, although we did have some wet rounds I think it could have been a lot worse and the track was actually really good in all conditions (and no tyre confusion = green BB's whatever condition).

Big well done to Colin May for a stonking day, really pleased for you mate.

Another Big well done to Matty Latham, for his best ever 4wd result and a very good B final qually position, shame you DNF'd the final as you were up there mate.

The track was fantastic, good meeting guys. Thoroughly enjoyed my C final race, I was worried it was going to be carnage like the few finals leading up to it, but it turned out to be quite clean.

Chris

What c final where you in coco!!:lol: Thanks all at southport for a great weekend. Really enjoyed it!! I'll have you next time jonsey:p

Oooo, forgot to thank jmag for the chef duties, haggis for the tunes and the belgian guys for the beer :-) , it in the fridge now


Nice one on the win too pidge!

Southport
 

Big thanks to Southport this weekend - track was awesome but defo needs more practice. Rain didnt affect atmosphere but highlight of the weekend was Truman on mic, the lad is a hero and comes out with some awesome comments that you can not help to laugh at - good work fella.

Agreed, me and belsten didn't stop laughing. We actually went and sat under the rostrum just to listen to him!! Goood Job Buddy.


DRAG RACE:lol:

Lol he was very funny "Freight Train Baby"

Yep, class commentary!

tony T was ace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DRAG RACE!!!!

Danny does this far too often!

the whole commentary over the weekend was awesome again, got it done, gooooooooood job, drag race
Thanks to all for a great weekend, thoroughly enjoyed the track too

Good skills to Colin May, 1st time 'A' finalist.
There was quite a lot of talk about Colin being a 'local' driver, it's not actually the case. He is local in terms of region, but not club.

who cares if your local or not, still gota drive pretty damn good on the day! I couldn't live with him on that back section in our race.
Well done!

Doesn't matter about any talk Stu. Colin was absolutely awesome to make a A final takes some doing but to qualify as high as he did was a credit to the region.

Also from the mid west a excellent drive for Stanners on saturday just couldn't pip Cragg and well done to Yardy again brilliant drive from 10th to 3rd - Midwest going strong

Griff beat me to it!!!

Had a great first national, Saturday was amazing, realy enjoyed the final. Sunday with 2wd was hard racing against 4wd in the wet lol but great weekend overall.

Thanks all at southport Top weekend:D

No worries GRIFF55 may do a curry:drool::drool: for the next one and just heat it on the cooker in the night.:D Mr Kirk..............Yes..............

have to agree with all the above comments, track and club organization was fantastic as usual,well done to ma boy for a 10 in round 3 and a 11 in round 4,his highest ever quails and b8 his highest ever national finish,weather was a bit ca ck but it didn't spoil the meeting IMHO,well done Colin awsome job mate,Truman well what can i say, gettin her done, DRAG RACE, lol roll on stotfold.

Thanks to everyone involved, had a great weekend.

Took me all weekend to get my head around the track but love the new layout, the 4wd was awesome even if I did keep trying to turn right on the concrete :blush:

Well done to Neil and Pidge but I take my hat off to Stan and Lowe. Rich Lowes move on Cragg over the table top was amazing, go Team Two Fingers ;)

That pass by lowe was doof in the one finger club, not the two;)
Nice bit of driving buddy

Surely someone took video of leg 2 of the 4wd A final - what a race that was - superb by all drivers - come on get the thing posted
Thanks to Southport - Terrible weather but a great effort by all at the club - if only we can control the weather eh!!!

Agree with that, but DC was in good form too!
Cheered me up no end after losing a wheel in the 4th round.

I like the look of the main picture as you click on Eric's link, nice Orange shell!

Thanks to all at Southport for the weekend, had my 2nd best National Weekend EVER!! C Final in 2wd, B Final in 4wd, happy days, hoping the B Final has secured the F1 for the first time too :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

First of all apologies to the lads for not going out on Saturday night but looking at the results of those who did I'm happy I stayed in, mentions in that category go to Mike Elliott, Robbo, Big Tinnerz, Rob Harris and of course Mr Riley!!

Further to going out, congratulations must go to Robbo who managed to pull for the 3rd time in Southport (I think) and for the 2nd time getting the bird to the track on Sunday, Good Job!

Great work from MCDC and MCTT as always, TT, superb job and keeps getting better and better, looking forward to more fun at Stotfold! 'Drag Race' and 'Freight Train Baby' being 2 of the favourite sayings!

I'd also like to thank the ref's for their great job this weekend (and I'm not just saying that because I helped on Sunday!) Damo, Northy, Pete, Stu and the others give up their own time at the meetings to ref, I hear there was a dispute at the end of the meeting but as I never heard it, it's not my place to say but I hope you guys carry on the good work, it helped me to get throught the traffic a couple of times this weekend and would be a shame to lose you all.

Final congrats go to the Team 'friends', Matty Latham for his highest National finish (doesn't beat my B Final 4th - both classes - at Oz though dude :p) and Colin May for his A Final which clearly does beat my highest national finish :mad:!!

Great weekend, looking forward to next year already
