Top Night
 
Has to be said on my weekly ribble update. Another good night must say has to be one of the best heats I have raced in last night since getting back into rc at xmas. good to see matt and phil doing well getting places in the A final. I had a bit of a mare with grip. Trying to get more out of my tyres and save money:thumbdown: doesn't always work.
The automatic start seemed to run smoothly well done guys:thumbsup:
I did well in the final from 6th start to end 3rd I was happy with that.
We will see all you guys in a couple of weeks if i dont break anything Surfing that is:lol:

Nice one fella!

The rango was flawless last night! Did really well!
If it wasn't for the steering turnbuckle coming off i should have got a reasonable place!!! But thats racing as they say.

I had a shite night, usually start 3rd A final when I turn up, but wheel fell off and retired.

Not to mention some guy complaining to everyone about marshalling when there was a full set of marshals out there, and some kid freaking at his dad because his car wouldn't move off the line, next time work on the car off the track and the straight out of the way of the racers.

Also like to see pics of the fireball!

I was having a good night also. After realising that I had left my trannie at home (great start) I managed to borrow a spare one off Tisher (thanks Martin). It took me the first 2 rounds to get used to the different settings but in the 3rd round I managed to get myself into the B Final (P4) for a nice race with Lee (P3). After a good dash to the first bend I was having a steady opening lap when at the end of the straight I managed to bash into a stationary 22, and that was the end of the race for me. Guess that's just racing. Luckily it was only wishbones for both of us :)

A great venue and great racing, well done Adam, Oliver and Martin in the A Final.

That would be Mr. Cottom, was using a Novak spedo with a prototype board in it i believe, strange though as before that run he turned the boost off and timing down!

Was a great night as per, grip seemed significantly lower than it has been though...
