Good fun today!! Dusty track surface was challenging at times ;)

WOW, not long been back, but what a fantastic weekend!!

Best weekend of racing I've ever had, also Coventry is my new favourite track (dirt and astro!)

HUGE well done and thanks to the RRCI and CMCC guys for a well run meeting.

Roll on the next one!

P.S, will the results be posted online anywhere?

Two words...hell yeah!

Will post full results on RRCi website, and a 6 page race report in mag...

First off I want to thank everyone that made there way to the CMCC track, I really hope everyone enjoyed the racing, I know I did!

40 Trucks exceeded my expectations by a long way :thumbsup: Lets hope this is just a small beginning for what is a truly fun class.

Cheers all!

What an brilliant weekend, (even if it did kill my blitz).
My thanks to all involved in organising the meet, it was well run and good fun.
I would just like to thank Madpete and all at CMCC on behalf of the National Gulf Veterans & Families Association for the very kind donation.

Many thanks and can't wait for the next one.

Great weekend,many thanks to all,looking forward to the next time,it really put the fun back into race meetings.

Greets.

I would just like to add my thanks to the RRCi team and the CMCC crew who organised and hosted a ground breaking meeting for Short Course Trucks in the UK :thumbsup:

I havn`t heard so much laughter at a big meeting for ages,the friendly atmosphere really made for a top weekend.
The racing couldn`t of been any closer,with "rubbing" or "light contact" being aloud,indeed encouraged :woot: after all,these are not open wheel racers which require serious precision driving.
SCT`s are fitted with both front and rear bumpers too,meaning the wheels don`t hook up when you get cars together[the benefits of closed wheel racing] and bumpers alow slight nudging without causing any damage,which can help with lapping back markers who refuse to move offline ;)

We found the CMCC track really fun to drive with it`s many different levels,jumps,mixed surfaces and flowing corners etc etc,i really struggled with the jumps,but i was definately not alone on that one :lol:

Constructive critisism would be that the even at a disadvantage the Slashes should not of been segregated into thier own class,all the 2WD SCT`s should of been run in the same class together regardless of manufacturer.Due to the small numbers of 4x4 SCT`s,i agree an "outlaw class" should be run,to include everything else,even Dez with his noisy/smelly/unreliable nitro thingy,untill such time as they have sufficiant numbers to make thier own full heats. :p Dez :)
A subsidised control tyre would also be a great leveler with any profits from the chosen tyre manufacturer going to charity would be a great help and encourage new and seasoned racers into taking part,without the fear of massive escalating costs due to tyre wars.

Finally for now,YES we would definately be up for another meeting very soon and finishing off with a big thanks to those manufacturers who sponsored the RRCi SC Shootout and all the drivers/helpers and supporters who attended,you made it a very memorable meeting,may there be many others in the future.

BR,

as has already been said,the most fun iv had for a long time,thanks Captain Shambles for the lift(this was the reason you finished 2nd:p)........thanks to all involved..........its the first time iv raced an SCT,it was awsome fun,i just need to make up my mind which one to get now:lol:....thanks to race control for alowing me and Ant(thanks mate for letting me run someone elses truck with you:thumbsup:) the time to change everything in between heats to run the same truck:thumbsup:................

Glad to see everyone enjoyed the weekend i to have to thank everyone who help it run smoothly.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

The next one will as suggest throw all the trucks in one big melting pot to slug it out...

The control tyre thing would be good if we can get the support of a manufacturer or four... (you listening out there in RC land?), this would work to level the playing field a little and share the grip out to so to speak!

Maybe we run 5 rounds over the next 12 months and use a different tyre for each to give all the companies who could offer a tyre an equal shot?

1: Hot Bodies on Dirt
2: Kourse King on the All weather
3: J Concepts on Dirt
4: HPI on Dirt
5: ProLine On Dirt

Waddaya think guys?

bestones, as ever
