We are into round 4 of our Winter Championship but thought that you may want to see the "Norn Iron" Champions of the Autumn Championship.
Young Aaron Vance, Schumacher, from Omagh was the Champion, just holding off a strong challenge from Stephen Carson (mole2k) Tamiya and Robert Reid, Schumacher,a former 1/8th Circuit racer and Champion from last century, in 3rd.

I find that you have to let the "youngsters" win to keep their interest....

Another thoroughly enjoyable nights racing on the wooden floor at Fivemiletown.
Great to see 20 drivers out, long live 1/10 off-road!

What an awesome performance by Robbie Reid!

Third in the "B" went to Robert Reid who had a dreadful qualifing and had to win the "E", "D"and the "C" Finals!

Good job I didn't come down, as my car is magnetically drawn to Robbie's - it's that flourescent paint job that does it...

[jimlee]

Well if Rob had not have had his "diff" problems he probably have made the "B" anyway....
Ed, you are still the top 2 wheel driver at Fivemiletown...yes you are the only 2 wheel driver there.....
looks like Aaron will make it a hat-trick of Championship wins with Stephen (mole2k) the "bridesmaid" again....
Some auld boy looks like taking 3rd....lol

Right, so is there a trophy for 2wd? Seems only fair...

[jimlee]

I've been dropping hints about an over 51 award ( to keep Rob out....lol) but no luck, so 2 wheel drive know what they can do.....

[mole2k]

I think anybody under 21 shouldnt be allowed to compete in the senior league!

Last season you did the same thing - at least this time, it's a buggy....

That worked surprisingly well for such a small camera indoors! We'll have to play with it a bit more next week.

Here's the A-Final from last meet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNJf3jG86ws
