Another good day at BADMCC - alas, only 4 electric runners this time, but we all gave it our best.

Mark Penney once again showed us a clean pair of wheels in possibly his last drive with a B4.1 before he completes his defection to Losi, Andy Rennick broke his Losi XXX every round except the last final, Jack Nelson got better and better with his XXX4, whilst I struggled with the jumps in my B4.

My thanks to C. Whelan for the Bowties and front ribs, much improved performance there. The track lost traction as it dried throughout the day, and ate tyres faster and faster! It looks like a one-set-per-day track - fresh rubber for the finals, leave them on for qualifying the following meet, and repeat. I've asked Andy for a set of Fastrax H-pattern (Bowtie copy) spoked premounts - ideal for the Losi 22 drivers as they have a 12mm hex fitment. I have XXX-S hex adapters to convert my B4 to 12mm.

We need a bulk order of earplugs - marshalling those nitros is bad for the ears :S
