Thanks to all at Dynamix for running a great weekend of racing!
I'm happy with second in the end after so many crashes in qualifying!!
Really enjoyed a good clean race with Paul Hindson in the final, just couldn't catch Chris.. Roll on South Shields :thumbsup:

It was very well deserved fella:thumbsup:

Good meeting today, thanks guys at dynamix.

Really enjoyed this weekend - my first time at Dynamix and I really enjoyed the track.

The plastic pipes may be a bit unforgiving, but then surely that's incentive not to hit them?! Telford used to use very similar pipes for their National, F2 finals and Juniors tracks, so they're definitely not unique.

Glad there was a pretty good turnout, and I'll be looking forward to racing there again.

Big thanks to Paul, Mike and everyone else!

They do...

I think they use some slightly smaller similar ones too, but they apparently haven't been in any panic to get rid of them in the 7 years since I raced there?

You not watched the 2wd A final then...?

Watch from 3 mins in and there's a pretty dirty blue car keeps hitting the back of someone...!

:p

Dynamix regional
 
We're glad that the high majority enjoyed the weekend. Weather was good this time, not like last year.

As regards to the track, please be aware this club is only 2 years old and has a small driver/funds base. A lot of work has gone on for both this years and last years regionals with a small number of people willing to help with time.

The more people that support the track the better it can be, but this all takes time.

We welcome all constructive comments which can benefit others.

See you all at the next one.

Mike

:p

I think it's at 2:50 where Andy ended up on his roof.

I didn't actually think it was too bad, but I did wait for Andy to recover, and apologised to him afterwards. On re watching, Im still convinced there was a gap there to go for, and as I was going through, the door was closed.... racing incident?

But again apologies to Andy if there wasn't a gap there.

I enjoyed it too. I agree that the track markers are a bit harsh though. I know not to hit them, but I was scared of getting anywhere near them :)

Wonder if a tyre rule might even playing field a bit? The fastest combo was very unorthodox, bet the home drivers liked it though ;)

Sterling effort and a big improvement on last year.

Now, now, Danny, no need for a tyre rule. All the tyres are freely available to everyone to buy. Just might be that your choice was wrong:p

Plus, people drive differently and so different tyres will suit different drivers and setups..........

Never seen the point in a control tyre if they are freely available.....

nivek 17-06-2013 03:24 PM

Paul how did you do in 4wd ...........
Well done for saturday ...........on reaching the * A * :)

Hi Danny I was only at the 2wd Saturday and am fairly local, well 30 miles south, but I have run at Dynamix 4 or 5 times recently. In all that time I think only Chris Patt, Andy Pearson and possibly Peter Craig have run a 4wd and then only an odd run between 2wd heats so they had no big advantage other than lots of experience of high grip tracks and years of racing. Oh yes and one other thing, talent, which so far has escaped me ;)

Not complaining just wish I'd had that tyre too, I couldn't push hard at all. The white ballistics worked OK for me but definitely felt at a big disadvantage. Roll on the other rounds though :)

They definately had the talent, the old school tyres just helped them make the most it :P
