best of luck lads hopefully all goes well

Hi all,

Just about to start day 2 of the Euros - 2wd qualifying.
Practice was yesterday on a very dry track that disintergrated quiet badly. The whole field is getting around the track well.

There was a massive thunderstorm last night and a load of rain fell. The top layer of the track is now spongy mud..... not good. Still have two hours till the start of qualifying and the skies are blue - so hopefully an improvement before the start of round 1.

Mick - Heat 4
Will - Heat 5
Derek - Heat 8

Top drivers heats 10, 11, 12

Best of luck lads :thumbsup:

Good luck guys, post some photos if you get chance..

Hi all, just a quick update before the finals,

Round 4,
Mick's slipper clutch backed off by itself
Derek got a 9 lapper in 5.12
I broke a rear ball stud

Round 5
Mick put in a good run 9 in 5.07
Derek was taken out by a back marker 2 or 3 times
A marshall didn't turn up for my heat and race director didn't notice - I spent a lap on my roof - 9 in 5.30

Finals are as follows
Will 73 (H Final)
Derek 76 (H Final)
Mick 80 (H Final)

Should be an interesting final :thumbsup:

An Irish 1,2,3 any order will do :thumbsup:

He doesnt want much eh?
:p

Unlucky Will, thought you had it there. :(

Yeah gutted! Turns out the Durango A-Team us a Yokomo ballstud and ballcup on the rear inner pivot as the joint popping off is a common problem with 2wd :(

Oh well, did do a few 32.5 second laps which is only a second or so off the top boys, so not all doom and gloom!

It's damp this morning and cooler for 4wd practice.

Proper Irish weather :thumbsup:

Qualifying for 4wd couldn't have gone much worse!

Derek had a lipo cell failure, servo failure, reciever failure and a desoldered wire in his four heats - so he didn't finish any qualifying runs. Last round was cancelled due to rain. Qualified K6

Mick got around but had some crashes and problems with traffic in his heats - Qualified I3

I had handling problems iand resulting crashes in heat 1 and 2.
I had a drive pin failure in round 3, but limped to the finish.
Motor moved out of mesh in round 4.....hhmmm!
Round 5 was cancelled. Qualified I10

Cheer up lads.....
