The more the merrier!!!!

I will speak to John this weekend about trying to reserve an area, not sure what he will say but he seems a top block to deal with so fingers crossed. If not I will be there on the Friday (maybe thursday night if back from working away in time) so could layout the place markers as Nick & I did last year.

Look forward to seeing you and Duffy again :)

I think thats everyone from last year apart from FABS, Willetts,Simon has a clash of dates :( and Cree.

But much bigger team this year :thumbsup:

I'll be there but I'll be pitting with my mates of old times...

Don't forget top 'X Factory' driver Ellis Stafford will be using the Lazer FS2 as well .....

3 cars in the 4WD A then (Shin, Mike and Elis) ... 4 if Tony has a top day? I bet on Nick 'Carpet' Caro making at least the B on one day too.

:D

Roger Roger Roger - if it was all so easy eh!!!
I can name over 25 people that can make A Final there.
Have you seen the list?
The cars are excellent and everyone will be just fine.....:)

Indeed the list looks pretty awesome. Marc Reinard and his Tamiya buddies, Hupo and his Durango buddies.

Tony, nothing wrong with a bit of positive thinking hey :p

Should be a great event to watch let alone racing in!

I have spoken to John and he is happy to let us pre allocate an area however he has requested a donation of £10 a table (10 spaces on a table), he said that was to buy some ear defenders to keep the maoners out of his head :D

Everybody up for that? Was a great atmosphere last time with everybody pitting together, thoughts please.

oh :p

I will be there with my FS1 on the Sunday.
Room for me?

Steve T, experience tells me it's harder to save spaces for people only doing the second day but we will do our best!

Looks like I'll be in some distinguished company

duffy
 

just to clarify, duffy is me carl dufton, or DUFTY to every one except my own brother in law........ duffy!!!
:eh?:

Also think Alex Thurston is doing both days needs adding to the list too

Keep adding names if your wanting to pit with us .... will be sorting this out very early part of next week (can't do it later due to no net access where I will be working to read list!)

Tell him Steve Brown is there again this year.

Guys, I'm going to be at Ardent Thursday & Friday so do you want me to reserve the area put ppl names on the tables??

Lol tell Steve to go play 200mm :p leave this to the real men

Just to let you know.

Martin Thurston has been and spoke to John.

2 benches are reserved for team Kyosho :) thats 20 drivers @ £1.00 each.
Will be having a collection for that :thumbsup:

Now that's not very friendly to an ex team Kyosho driver.... :p

Yeah been talking to John today & he is going to mark it all off for us.

I will be there tomorrow morning about 9.30ish

I've done a seating plan will put everyones names on the tables if you not happy then speak to eachother on the Friday or Saturday can always change it between you all. Know doubt there be some BITCHING etc lol :woot:

Neil & Mike I've put you two outside if thats ok :p

Shin will be on the end of the table so everyone can see him & talk to him too.

Rob, have you seen the plan I was going to use before I knew you would be there first?
Need plenty of space for Tony "expanding pit area" Evdoka and both Nick and I are bringing our good ladies along so there will be 2 people sitting at our spot (and I do a good line in covering my work surface in crap too ... though not to Tony's standard's). If we could get end spots it would save the ladies having to move every time somebody wants to get past as there isn't room between the rows for extra chairs really.

Are you going to be there for the race on Thursday night? I am hoping to make it for the start of that but I am starting 200 miles from home, travelling within 1/2 hour of the venue on route, then have to turn around and go back in my own car for another 2 hours ... might not be on it Thursday night lol

Hope Everyone got home ok ?

I am very tired today i hope i have not made any mistakes with orders:cry:
Still it was a good weekend and as always a pleasure to meet the Kyosho drivers.
Shin was very happy to see a good amount of K fans this year :thumbsup:
I personally was very happy as i did nothing to my cars other than charge the batteries.
has anyone got any pics or video to share?? i forget to get clicking Sunday but got a few from Saturday.

Yeah got home fine... but was absolutley shattered!! Ace weekend though :thumbsup:

Good to get a good crowd of us together aswell.. plenty of banter and laughs :woot:

Good to meet Shin and everyone again... such along way for Shin to travel to only be here for a short period of time.. Top bloke who certainly knows his stuff!!

Probably see you all again at the Neo! Worlds rematch... king vs tebo!

:thumbsup:

a good weekends racing! really enjoyed it.. some close racing ;-) and loads of competition

nice to see everyone there!

More Pictures.

I very nearly totalled the car on the way home, if Sarah had have stopped talking to me I would have been asleep in seconds!
Got 4 hours kip before having to be up for work the next day and instead of driving where I needed to be I went back towards Ardent on autopilot, luckily realised before i added much more than 30mins to my 4 hour journey! :o

It was indeed a good weekend, I thought that the tracks were both very good (other than the stupid spine ramp thingy).

I am sorry if I was out of sorts (especially on the Sunday), I am being run ragged at work and had less than 25 hours total sleep since the preceeding Friday (8th) night so was running on negative energy from about Sunday lunchtime on. Hope I didn't cast my frustrations on to anybody else, if I did please accept my apologies.

I thought both cars were stunning all weekend (well back as far as the transmitter sticks that was) and proved to be super strong on a track that looked to be a car killer!

Great to chat to Elis about the car, confirming a few of the mods I have on the way are the right way to go. More news on that soon!
