Oswestry National
 

For those who have never been to Oswestry before, the buggy club track is located on an ex-military training camp that is now used as a show ground. This is used every weekend for a variety of large events including agricultural shows, equestrian events, caravan club meets, country & westesn weekends, american car shows, etc, etc. Because of the type of events being held there they have recently converted one of the old army gyms into a fully furnished function room with bar, kicthen facilities etc that is now used for weddings, balls and the like.

So, to make the National weekend even more enjoyable for all those attending it has been the club's wish to make use of these facilities. Although, they have been planned for some time I am pleased to announce that the following have now been confirmed: -

- The function room bar is to be staffed and open from 7pm onwards on Saturday night to serve all racers and accompanying guests.

- At 8pm there is to be a 'Hog Roast' large BBQ event.

- To accompany the food and drink there will be a live band playing from 8pm to approx midnight.

ENJOY! :D

Oh aye and apart from my worst national result ever - Congrats to the Oswestry team on a fantastic job.
Jump was great, a real jump it was. And it really paid to hit the downslope especially in 2wd.

WOOW is that Danny Mgee in half. Whats happened there then

haha yea, he was ramping it big style off the huge jump, usually landing it... I think this time the car gave up though! Its part of a series of 3. Dont worry though, its not the only car in half I got on camera, got them on fire too.:D

Cool Jimmy cant wait for photos, Seen one on smoke at Bury today aswell, The sun was just too much.

Stu Mahons was a dramatic one. Landed the jump from extreme height and landed, and quickly turned into a ball of smoke. Stu shouts "SOMEBODY TAKE THE SHELL OFF, ITS NEW!" I think that was the same race which Nathan Ralls destroyed his B4 too which was also rather impressive.
