Hi all,
Yesterday(Saturday 21st July), we saw
ROUND 7 of Hinckleys 2012 OffRoad Club Championships.
After the terrible Weather Conditions Cancelling the Last 2 Scheduled Club Meetings & Hinckleys 2WD Mid-West Regional Round, it was so pleasing for everyone to see some Fantastic Dry Hot Sunny Weather..........virtually for the first time this Outdoor Season! :shock:
On Arrival of the Majority of Racers, our Local Dedicated HRCCC Members Keith/Alan Marson, Jon Seals & Mark Stevens, were already Hard at work, Cutting the Grass & Setting up Race Control, ready for a Trouble-Free Days Racing! Thanks again for making all this happen! 8)
With a Decent Turnout of Drivers, Creating 5 Heats worth of very Competitive Close Racing, it made it very easy for everyone to pull together with Master Track Builder Andy Slingsby & Help Assemble the Track very Quickly, ready for the 'Open Practice' Session.
The Track Layout itself, was of a Large Scale(probably the Largest we've had this Year!), incorporating a Variety of Sweeping corners & Chicanes, that if hooked up right, alot of time could be gained! The Long Main Straight at the Rear of the Circuit, was Wider than usual, allowing for some good clean Overtaking Manovres to take place during the Meeting! The rest of the Track included an array of Jumps, a Straight Table Top, BeSpoke Rumble Strip & Corner Table Top, to mix things up alittle!
The Racing Standard was very good in all the Qualifying Heats throughout the Day & all Finals were also very Clean & Tidy, with Drivers showing alot of Courtesy for one another.............something that our Club has always been proud of!
HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS FROM YESTERDAYS(21ST JULY) CLUB MEETING :
Everyone Attending the Meeting were also looked after during the course of the day, with Keiths Special BBQ & Refreshment Fridge! Thanks for doing such an awesome job!
See you all at the Next Club Meeting :
