National / indoor predictions...........

Season getting close now! who been fast over winter? whats everyones predictions?:D

HB all the way!

Lee 13-03-2008 09:06 PM

Cockerill, his hair has grown over the winter, Hair= speed:thumbsup:

Stu 13-03-2008 09:14 PM

Lee,

can you expand on that equation, including beards maybe?

It currently seems oversimplified.

Some calculus showing how speed increases with head/chin growth would be nice?

Wigs?

Lee 13-03-2008 09:15 PM

You lose the trust when the beard appears, ask G:thumbsup:

Stu 13-03-2008 09:22 PM

People with beards make good 8th pit men.

Northy 13-03-2008 09:22 PM

Never, ever, ever trust a man with a beard :o

Sorry to disappoint you Lee but I've just had my hair cut :thumbdown:, should make me quicker in 2wd tho according to the other thread we had :thumbsup:

or maybe that's just the X6 :D

Stu 13-03-2008 09:25 PM

No, they are not too bad.

Beards are nowhere near as bad a cross-eyed's.

Sorry :( Please can I have a Christmas card, and maybe a go of your Baja :lol:

twisty 13-03-2008 09:36 PM

:D might do,if it survives being driven by the cloggy next week.

Stu 13-03-2008 09:38 PM

Oh, bejeeesus, don't get me started on christmas cards.

Why do women carry a bunch of unwritten cards about, just so that if they get one from an unexpected source they can return one instantly.

What's that all about then? Just don't bother.

Northy 13-03-2008 09:41 PM

and why do they have to send them so early? :confused:

telboy 13-03-2008 09:41 PM

Skeldings got to be worth watching in 4wd surely?
Been going well this winter.

Stu 13-03-2008 09:43 PM

Will Adam grow a beard?

Wraggy 13-03-2008 09:46 PM

interesting topic !! im sure the header said 08 predictions:woot::woot:

twisty 13-03-2008 09:49 PM

Beard predictions,,keep up.
:D

Stu 13-03-2008 09:53 PM

Who is the fastest bearded driver?

Chris Doughty had a beard a couple of years ago.

GRIFF55 13-03-2008 09:57 PM

Mr Harris won the 18th nats with a beard too!! 08 prediction has to be Tom Yardy, he's looking very fast and smooth in both 2 and 4wd.
We'll have to wait and see!!

showtime 13-03-2008 09:59 PM

does a goatee count as a beard?

quite a bit less area of fur but it does surround the mouth :eh?:


what about a mustache & chin piece twin set?

does that count as a beard :confused:

Northy 13-03-2008 10:08 PM

We should grow beards for the Neo :thumbsup:

josh_smaxx 13-03-2008 10:15 PM

Butters 13-03-2008 11:49 PM

As a Yank that follows the BRCA as much as possible I have to give the 2WD title to Lee Martin this year. At the J-Concepts Clash he was smooooooth, o and that little thing called the A-main at the worlds. LOL

A side note. Im very interested in the BRCA series/tracks and love to read as much as possible (thanks to JIMMY). I was wondering who I would talk to about trying to run in one of the national series races. Travis amez ran one a couple of years ago. Is there anyone I can talk to about flying over to run? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lee 14-03-2008 12:01 AM

To be honest butters you wouldnt get into any national round:( it is oversubscribed nowadays and a lot of the uk drivers cant get in.
Im sure you would be more than welcome to enter a regional and im pretty sure lee martin will be running a big event during the summer.

If you need any info just pm me and ill do what i can:thumbsup:

Paul Sinlear was in the UK last year and came to one of the Nationals on the reserve list and didn't get in, but, as Lee said Pidge is trying to get an international meet at CML Raceway in 08. Should be a good crack.

Wraggy 14-03-2008 08:11 AM

MY TOP 5 IN ORDER :woot:

2wd
Pidge
Cragg
Bloomers
Bradders
Yardy

4wd
Pidge
Doughty
Bloomers
Tricky
Yardy

nuf said :thumbsup:

Nick Goodall 14-03-2008 08:49 AM

I think it'll be a fight between Lee, Craggy, Bloomfield, Ellis & Yardy in both classes but hard to pick a winner.....

I have to say that Lee is flying with 2wd these days, even more so then last year with the Aero so it'll be interesting to see! The fact that he's been in the states for the best part of a month spending time with RyanM and the others will only be helping him learn too (just a shame we don't have ANY dirt tracks any more) :thumbdown:

It's certainly going to be close and i reckon there could be a few surprise results in 4wd especially this year!

No, I've done that whilst I was at Uni. Horrible nasty ginger thing, itchy as hell.

Although I am growing my hair...

I was definately the fastest hobo that year!

2008

2WD
Cragg, Pidge, Yard(if he stays with the B4 :woot: )

I don't think there will be a run-away winner this year. it should go down to the last round in both classes.

just going on last year and his current winter driving.
hes the one to watch i think this season and being out in america with Maifield for a month can only of helped his cause .

GRIFF55 14-03-2008 09:46 AM

Only joking mate!!:woot: I think that he'll be up there too. I just think there are so many people who could top three that i couldn't pick 'em.
Can't wait for the first one!! Doughty looked quick round kiddy last weekend
