The only thing i will say about going to teesside is its amazing how much of a local knowledge track it is. Which doesn`t really bother me as the drivers have been quick enough to put the car in the A but, it seems they get over excited and its their "FA cup final" and just decide to drive through people who will be competing in all of the series 
Apart from that it was a good day for me |
Lee, i dont know you and you dont know me. im not sure why you felt the need to post your comments about "local" teesside drivers?
As far as i know i was the only "local" in the 4WD A final. I ran a brand new car on untested tyres on a track we have never ran before , so my local knowledge advantage extended to the fact that i know the cantine knocks out a great bacon butty and thats about it.
I know i didnt hit , bump or push you in the final, as i did none of the above to anyone ( apart from tom, who i waited for) so i think you have your facts well and truly wrong.
I, like some other teesside "locals" dont race the full season of 1/10th offroad, simply because we race other classes and have a lot of date clashes, we have some extremely talented and accomplished drivers in teesside that you wont know if you only race electric buggies but are very highly respected in other classes of rc racing. to say someone only got to where he is because of local track knowledge is very niave and even arrogant.
Tom Cockerill if you read this, i really enjoyed the battle in the final. I still couldnt catch you even with my huge advantage of "local track knowledge"
excellent driving mate.
