Brilliant day. I loved it, big thanks to Huw, Paul and John. Looking forward to the next round. Im gutted there isn't a similar podium setup at Talywain and would able to do all the rounds.

Dyna 02-04-2012 10:26 AM

Was ace :thumbsup:

Anyone who missed yesterday.. well, you missed a corker tbh ! Great track, great organisation, great weather, great racing.

Cant really say more than that :)

Dyna 02-04-2012 10:49 AM

Oh and im going to try to write a report of the day as well. Its something that was done in the past for the WRCA series from Leighton and DCM to name but two, so as we all had a stonking day yesterday thought id attempt a report... Dont expect anything brilliant like Jimmy does, and it will be from my eyes mostly ( although i have asked a couple of people for their views ill add in ), but would be better than nothing... i hope.. :lol:

Ive got a good few photos, but if anyone else got some good ones or vids can they let me have them ? if you have, please PM me and ill give you my main e-mail address to send the good ones to and ill add them to the report. i saw a few people with cameras yesterday, so i know they are out there !

I was also going to try to add peoples cars to the entry list, give us all an idea of who is running what, and what works well at what tracks. For example it seemed most Schumachers Cougars struggled yesterday for one reason or another.

Once i get the entry list, ill ask you to add what cars you were running. Bit of fun and a chance to be nosey if nothing else !

If the reports crap, well at least ill have tried :lol:

DCM 02-04-2012 10:59 AM

I got a Vid of Reg doing a couple of practice laps.

Cougar... struggling.... really.... lol

i4n 02-04-2012 11:04 AM

I've got a video of a car on the track practising too.

Something needs to go in the report about Dean's ability to snap left hand front SX wishbones in what seemed like every round.......

millzy 02-04-2012 11:18 AM

Matt- James had a small camera mounted on his wing, not sure what it picked up but could be a cool vid.

I think a report will be good , few pics and get it sent off to Racer and RRCI to promote our regional.

maybe a small interview with diffrent driver at each round- more the up and comnig ones than us has beens or old folk.

the SV that blew me sideways didnt have any issues from where i stood :):)

GRIFF55 02-04-2012 11:28 AM

Does 44 class as old folk?

millzy 02-04-2012 12:20 PM

Yeeeessss...... but one step at a time Chris, let me see if its any good first - it could be the worst load of rubbish ever typed out by a complete muppet... i.e. me.

I like that idea. An 'oldie' and a 'newie' interview each round. Could be good. If i get the time ill try that.

I4n, pm me anything you have on Deans car crashing propblems... :lol: And let me have the vid when you can.

If anyone has anything funny or interersting to say of the day, just PM me the details....

DCM 02-04-2012 01:34 PM

it was the steering , turnbuckles and the front wheels working I liked. the whine down the straight was cool.

maybe a little higher on the wing?

jaysllim 03-04-2012 09:08 PM

Ye nd more to the right,the whine is also coz the mic is litraly taped to the diff housing but wen I first played it I so wanted to ring u up nd say "see theres tha noise I was on bought" but then realised were the mic was.

Nd I I want a rear facing cam coz if I had it at the event it would have shown dave taking his revenge on me bu taking me out as im on the power to come down the straight lol
