Loved todays track - wasn't too badly affected by the rain and dried up nicely.

I think we need to stick with these earlier starts.

Can I interest anyone in a Durango 210 (no not the Blingrango)? White shell, some gold bits, comes with a blinged up Spekky tx.

Call it a fiver posted?

birdy 14-04-2013 04:54 PM

Top day all round.

We are all getting better every meeting at running smoothly throughout the day, don't think we had any hiccups at all.

Earlier starts get the Thumbs up from me :thumbsup:

Thanks to Gav for the 4wd Loan.

Really enjoyed today, Well done all involved.
Racing was proper close in the final, had a great battle with Ricky in 4wd, just nipping me by 0.5sec on the last jump!!

Gave me a chance to test the strength of the rb5 vega,double somersault in approx 15 feet of air and still drove away without a single problem,Kyosho Quality :)

Wheel to wheel rubbing with Stu and i can only assume i ran over his wheels and it launched me skyward at a very rapid rate of knots :woot:

Stu probably did it on purpose, he cheats like that a lot !! Haha

Fantastic meeting yesterday guys. Driving standards seemed much better throughout and prompt and quick marshalling throughout the day, not to mention some excellent racing. The 4wd A final was great to watch, unlucky to Birdy with the breakage when I felt you had Sham twitching but the race for 2nd between Rick (who if he continues to find his thumbs again is gonna be a bloody tough apponent imo) and Donnelly was a great battle to the line!

On a personal note it was very much like applying for the job you desperately wanted then not turning up to the interview! Some good runs in qualifying then manage 1 lap of the A Final with problems! Oh well, that's racing I suppose? Shame though as I reckon it would have been very close between me and Gav in the final.

A all round great day's racing for all and if our meetings continue to run with the quality and smoothness of yesterday the club will go from strength to strength.

Actually the really exciting race was the 4wd B final - Only 2 seconds between Ewan at the front and Tommy in 3rd, with Lee and Tommy reeling in Ewan by 2 seconds a lap at the end. Just one more lap and it could have gone to any of them.

Not bad at all for your second meeting back, think I need to start worrying now.

Gavin Collingwood 15-04-2013 12:18 PM

All you need to do is tone yourself down a little birdy, it's like some one is stood next to you on the rostrum with a gun pointed to your head and they're saying win or else..... Otherwise you'd have won as you had the quickest pace. Smooth smooth smooth

You have nothing to worry about with speed of ur car.i won't be catching you or gav down that straight :-) unreal speed that.

Think a couple of new sets of orion batteries are in order

And that was turned down by about half..... Get the nVision cells 20-30 quid cheaper for the exact same thing. All your paying for with the orions are the stickers on the cells otherwise they're the same cells

silverfox 15-04-2013 02:38 PM

Well under control Si I knew they were catching me, just did enough!!!!!!!

Ewan

bandit 15-04-2013 03:44 PM

Where can we find the results chaps ?

birdy 15-04-2013 04:39 PM

Results still need sorting Sham, Si needs to suss out on BBK and then email to our web guy.

We will try and get sorted this week.

Si Coe 15-04-2013 04:46 PM

Done and done, just waiting on Steve to post them up now.
