jimmi - absolutely bloody priceless never mind what anybody else says, it was worth reading through a lot of drivel to get to yours.

Some thoughts spring to mind...........
Maybe the professional racers (I said racers, not moaners) will progress on to Rallying 1:1 scale, and then ask the organisers to, move that rock, remove that tree, take the route on the low road, not the one with the big cliff at the side, fill in that pot hole , oh , and can you melt the ice and snow in scandinavia before we arrive so we don't go skidding off etc.......

Why have I been breaking bits on my cars for years (and years) and get told by the A finalists to remember to brake at corners and don't go flat out on certian bits as my setup is all wrong, and then find A finalists etc break their cars a little too often and it's the track at fault. Did the track move since the last lap?

Why do we find guys complaining the jumps are too high, cars get broken when they land, and find some of these are the first ones to ramp the bloody things up any nearby hump/jump/ramp just to see how high it will go, usually during the slow controlled warm up lap or more likely 10 seconds after Race Over has been announced!

Please note - I have watched 1:10 buggys go round this track, from trackside - I would have been there but for food poisoning - it's rough, but drivable as evidenced by the guys postings on here who knew what there own and their cars limitations were. They are off road vehicles, it's a case of, here's a really off road track, see how you can handle it. Unfortunatey some couldn't.

As someone who has tried varies ways to create a permanent 1:10 off road track for >20 years, it looks like I'm going to have to buy a bigger buggy to have some fun locally as most of the winging on here seems to have put the knackers on NRX supporting tenth scale

And lastly, can we have the real Lee back, can't find anything to pick at him about
