Great event. Not been home long, the M62 was standing traffic for ages and ages and ages, now im just tired and grumpy. :(

left at 6.15 i think it was got home at just before 9,
i was stood in the 3rd lane at one ponit, talking to mike pimlot on the phone to see if we could see each other lol
bored was not the word

hi all
just thought i would say thanks to everyone who made a really good track
we were also stuck in traffic on the motorway the crash looked really bad

Ready???? CAMPERVAN :D

so who won 2 & 4 wd?

Bradders won 2wd from Ben riley and Rich Lowe won 4 wd from Phil Sleigh

Two great A finals:thumbsup:

Results now posted;) here

Had a great day yesterday , even though i qualified last in 2WD:woot: WELL DONE batley i really enjoyed it. Long day though up at 4.45am and then walked in the house at 9pm:o I HATE THE M62:thumbdown:

Great day, great track, looking forward to the summer :thumbsup:

Just a quick note to say thanks to all those hard working people who organised and ran the event this weekend. Had a great time but have now decided never to run again on slippy floors as I am not good enough yet and I want a B44 as they looked awsome!

Cheers once again guys.

PS: Any photos yet?

PPS: M62 was a nightmare but Burger King made up for it on the services, Cheers Ade for the burger :-D

Thanks for the nice words, Batley is 'run' by a small number of people, most of whom have a lot of other commitments so any meetings are usually quite challenging. As usual the bulk of the thanks must go to Dianne who is a legend as far as I'm concerned but also Steve Lawson, John Price and Jimmy.

Also thanks to those who helped put the track out on Sat and those who stayed to help put it away, notably some non members who had some distance to travel!

lil report to come

ace pictures ! hows the cam jimmy ?

Lets just say I'm not a happy bunny :(

My final WAS awesome at the point I was behind superstar driver Damian Whittle and was just all over him like a mad rash - eventually punting him out of the way so I could clear off into the distance. At that point I thought I was some pretty HOT stuff - like a bit of a star myself - until I talked to Damo after the final and found out he was on front-wheel-drive only........ I was pretty gutted.

lol jimmy nice pictures :) What happened with your camera jim?

A

Top pic`s as usual Jimmy,you are the star behind the camera fella :)

the lad sat behind us speedo let out some magic smoke twice during the day:thumbsup:

yep, vinny mann's esc. were you near me bob?

Alex what are the blue bits on the the front of your wishbones on the front?:confused::confused:

there high impact peices of foam, mainly for glass, but they stop my a-arms smashing as easy, just stop little stones and things smashing them.

there not on no more coz ive swapped them.

ahh right

We need a 'sarcastic' smilie! :lol::lol:

G

thats a good
 

thats a goo idea im thinking of taking my car to a maximum width from the rear end that wat pavidis did at the worlds and it worked 4 him so ill se if it works 4 me

Wtf? I think you'll find it's almost there now.

G

Are you the Vinny who's GTB I soldered a new power cap onto?

Vinny a narrower track will actually give you more grip but can be unstable and break away. Just bear in mind that a wider car does not always give you more grip;)

Alex: its good to see you trying stuff and thinking, keep it up you might come accross something really good, Also is that your own wing on the b4?

yep
 

yep cheers dan thanks 4 that but then i found that i had a speed passion gt that also worked i didnt use it till the gtb burned out

thanks lee, not that one, i had my first prototype on for the second race (as i didnt enter the first due to bulkhead brakages) but it shattered when i flipped my buggy. im planning on buying some thinner lexan propper 0.75 stuff so it bends and then i should be able to sell them.

alex.

Didn't stop them smashing when you hit my Lazer on Sunday :thumbsup:

Lazer 1 - B4 0

By the way, who swapped them? ;)

dan: ye thats vinny, he got his car a'smokin before we even started the race.

you didnt fry 2 esc's did you vinny?

haha mark, ye you did, isnt it bedtime for you now? lol




















ive got balls of steel (private joke)

yeah i saw it break when you landed on it thats why i asked. Thinner lexan and i dont know how you moulded them but some plastics get brittle if they get too hot;)

oh, i didnt know you went to the supercup lee, you should of introduced your self mate.

no
 

the speed passion iz way more reliable and i love 2 bits

I was sat just in front of smokin Vinny:woot:

my memory isnt that good...lol

How come you didn't finish the final vinny??? If your wondering i'm the scouser sat next to you:woot:

If your sat next to him why dont you just ask him instead of wasting web space:lol::thumbsup:

He was too busy picking himself up off the floor, after falling through his chair :woot:
