I broke a front wishbone (by driving in a track marker full chat after missing my victim, ooops) and Dan O blew a diff, other than that it was only the Mills Mashed up Machine that I saw break anything.

this is just all the photos we took on the day. I haven't cropped anything mind :)

wezzer 21-10-2009 06:32 PM

cool photos dude,,,just need a better lens buddy :-)


so did everyone have fun then ??? if we sort another is there any thing you guys would like to change or do differently??????

Neil867 21-10-2009 06:39 PM

Yes, just make sure its a day im not working;)
Know that im sorted for a car:thumbsup:

GRIFF55 21-10-2009 07:40 PM

One thing for me, Can we be allowed to do the quad at the rear!!:woot::lol:
I think it was really well run as it was. Maybe two straight lines off the start instead of the start boxes at such an angle???

wezzer 21-10-2009 08:21 PM

lol yes griff you can do the quad :lol:
yeah we did the le mans style start grid just for the short course so for the buggies was just an after thought,,,, should we A; put on the same kind of meeting we have just done to make the numbers or B; try and fill a meeting with just 2wd and 4wd ???? answers on a postcard please ( just kidding about the post card thingy lol ):thumbsup:

Ben Turner 21-10-2009 08:27 PM

I would like to see a meeting for 2wd/4wd 10th, and micros :D Can we do it this weekend?!?!?! lol. Cant find anywhere to race this weekend :(

Ben

GRIFF55 21-10-2009 08:34 PM

I think if you did a bit more (fancy!) advertising, the venue has great potential to run just a buggy meeting. You could still have the sc10's as a support class for fun. But i also think the sc10's were great to watch. Try it as you did first and push buggies a bit more to see how many attend???

Ben Turner 21-10-2009 08:38 PM

What we really need is someone who works in the industry, maybe at a reputable distributor to spread the word! Anyone know someone??? :p:p:p:p:thumbsup:

toooldskool 21-10-2009 08:39 PM

Gotta have the SC10's:thumbsup: maybe more 10th and no Micros

I'm all for no micros :thumbsup:

Ben Turner 21-10-2009 09:58 PM

G what have u got against micros?? Pick on the little ones why dont you

c0sie 22-10-2009 07:45 AM

Yeah, pick on those that bring Nationals to HRCC why dont you..

Anyways, only suggestion I would make would be a full length straight.

Oh, and some more cheesey music from Jamies collection :D

personal preference. I just find them annoying that's all :)

Ben Turner 22-10-2009 08:26 AM

Cheesy music played through the rostrum speaker whilst racing?? LOUD :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

G don't knock it till you've tried it ;)

mrspeedy 22-10-2009 10:23 AM

I think if anything the track could have been a bit smaller, for some closer racing and with more jumps with good sized landings for a more off type feel .....

Was nice to see bits of floor without carpet on it too, and maybe some crash mats for bumps :thumbsup: I like bumps .....

Racing the micro trucks on it was really good fun but to me they would be even better in a dedicated micro track ..... so maybe go with 10th only ?!?

Was a cool meeting BTW, really enjoyed it .... would be ace to have somewhere to go race 10th on a big bad track :woot:

c0sie 22-10-2009 10:31 AM

I didnt think it could get any closer as far as racing goes? You need somewhere to stretch your preverbial legs though, and the straight is the best place to do that!
Maybe another 'big jump'?. Drift section was great to see! But killed my MiniSpikes lol

HRCC always lay good tracks, and the venue has got to be one of the best in the UK surely?

I thought the bit of 'drift' floor on the apex of the hairpin after the wallride was amazing. Really taught you to watch youself going into that corner for fear or overshooting and sliding out. Some nailed in, some over shot it, but that corner was one of my favs randomly!

Id love another big 10th event at HRCC, I just hope that is supported well enough for the club to consider doing more events!

GRIFF55 22-10-2009 11:21 AM

count me in again, it was awesome!:thumbsup:

Neil867 22-10-2009 01:11 PM

Come on Wez, get a date sorted:lol:
So i can see if i need to book a day off;)

Ben Turner 22-10-2009 01:55 PM

We've got a few dates in mind, but were gonna check when the hall is availible first, wouldn't want to get your hopes up ;) Gotta run it past the other club members too, its a lot of work! But yea bring it on :drool:

ex-sco77morgan 22-10-2009 01:59 PM

I'm in and depending on dates I know Pidge will be to !!

Let's get it on

Nick Goodall 22-10-2009 02:06 PM

There was a bit too much 'racing' by the end of the day, I did my best to bash the crap out of anyone trying to race tho' LOL

c0sie 23-10-2009 08:48 AM

I think that the problem was that the back markers werent gettin in the way of the leaders enough!

markwilliamson2001 23-10-2009 09:15 AM

Not many put up much of a fight in my qually heat IMO...most just submitted far too easily LOL, although fair play to Haggis, as he took out Bootle deliberately, when he was lapping LOL

Ben Turner 23-10-2009 09:53 AM

I tried my best! Think yardy had a hard time lapping at times tho, LOL

much like my round 1 kiddy MAM final. in the heats I managed 11 laps in round 4 with a clean drive (no crashes). in the final with similar ability drivers I still put in 11 laps and my driving was a lot more messy with several mistakes costing me time.

wezzer 23-10-2009 12:21 PM

he said WERNT getting in the way enough ,,, meaning we must try harder next time :-)
:woot:

Ben Turner 23-10-2009 12:28 PM

Fix up look sharp G! Lee Martin best look out next time then if your in the right heat for qualifying LOL.

GRIFF55 23-10-2009 12:32 PM

I'll ram him with the 10th too, when he's lapping!! Hell, i'll even go out in the sc10 class with it just to do that:lol:

all I ment was I got put in heat 5 and was sitting 6th overall after round 2. I don't want to sound big headed. I just felt I was in the wrong heat. Also I felt Mark should of been in the top heat too. ho hum :)

Ben Turner 23-10-2009 12:57 PM

I think the computer was to blame for that, Steve put me down as a 9, and the computer put me last in the bottom heat?? I would of stayed there but he moved me as i was racing in the Micros the heat before.

ex-sco77morgan 23-10-2009 12:58 PM

Ok 10 SC10's on a normal size track is alot but that was a decent size track which could easily cope with 15-20 trucks then you'll see who can get through untouched?? Think the idea is to race them but bumping to pass is just fine. Whatever it takes haha

Ben Turner 23-10-2009 01:02 PM

How about a 10th scale meeting, with a SC10 demo race, however many people turn up all go in one heat :D

As long as the Rostrum's big enough it sounds cool to me!

I don't have any sort of 10th car at the moment so would be quite happy if i could race my SC10 unless i can borrow a 2wd from Lee :lol:

GRIFF55 23-10-2009 01:34 PM

cool, i'll try and scab an sc10maybe too!
