First of, I would like Andy, Lee, Nick, Rob & the rest of the Newbury team for making this event happen.
Also I would like to thank all the racers who turned up to race, some traveling for over 3 hours in the morning!!!
My view on the track was that it was coooool, being a 1/8th racer I felt at home with the jumps, the current UK electric tracks are the main reason that I gave up electric racing many years ago, but jumps are the future

I take it that this coment is a joke? I would love to see Lee or Nick run a Hornet round, bet it would surpise a few people
Having raced a Hornet at the Tamiya meeting back in the 80's I recon it would have got round the track fine. I had some customers enter this meeting who were complete newbee's who had never raced before, they enjoyed it & loved the jumps.
Regarding the crossover, you need things to test your skills, yes I agree that if you jumped short you could have wrecked someone's run if you landed on them, but it was very easy to clear as Showtime proved
but agreed that the run off on this could have been a few feet longer to allow you to overjump & not crash in to the track marker. At the end of the day this was our 1st big meeting & we knew that we would not get it 100% correct the 1st time.
We will take on all the comments for the next track, but big air is the future!!
