Default how has your season gone ???

How did you do in the season ??
Did you reach your goals ?? or did you exceed them ??
are you changing chassis for next season ?

Just interested in how people thought there own season went? …

i personally fell short of what i wanted to achieve this year again
also was very dissapointed with my results in the end of year finals ..
heres hoping for a better 2009 .

I had a good year, Improved all year Bumped up 2 licence grades
enjoyed the end of season finals. Hopefully will do nationals next year and continue improving.

Thinking of changing both chassis for next year. Not sure what to yet.

Fell short of my goals aswell this season; didn't get the formula i was hoping for.

Didn't have a great EOS Finals, and i hope to do lots better next year.

Definately sticking with the Pred X11, but not sure about 2wd. Will try a few different ones over the winter.

Andy

good season for me, won a national, TQ'ed a national, had some great racing, but also a few absolute shockers, especially some tight 4WD finals.

it was nice to always be in with a shot of the 4WD title all year, though some(most) of the time it was slim.

MASSIVE thanks to the people that supported me on another successful season, CML, Atomic-Carbon, LRP. and its been great talking to people about stuff off and on the track.

Slow start to season, change of 2wd helped me regain my F1 in the class... 4wd was hard with new car and stuff but without doing anything outstanding managed to gain F1 again in this class too.

Pretty decent Euro's again which was good...
Change for 4wd next year as i am moving to the Team Xtreme X11 which i am looking forward too.

End of season has been a joy for me with new sponsors and stuff already sorted for next season so just winter practice now!!!

My seaon has been farly good. Kept my F2 grade through regionals in the mid east, and made the A Final 2wd at eastrax at the F2's. Well chuffed with that. Looking forwrd to winter so weather doesnt ruin my fun! Looking forward to running my new CAT and not sure about 2wd yet. Wouldnt mind a change from the B4 but his has done me good this year. Am thinking maybe a RB5 but will have to see.

really quite poor! dropping to F4 next year and made the D final at the F345's compared to A final last time. Might try a spot of Truggy racing soon to see how I go with that.

Not great, the report would say *must try harder*

I started the season with the B4 and the Aero , i really struggled with both and used these for the first 2 nationals.

Bought an X5 and X6 and did better, had a shocker of a day at EPR in 2wd but did much better in 4wd.

Then i had the saga of losing/my transmitter being nicked , then after that national all my stuff got nicked, i went to stotfold with a slim chance of getting my F1 in 4wd but with having not driven the car or track before i did struggle, but im sure i got my F2 again at nationals.

My aim for the winter is to improve in 2wd. And learn a lot about the X5 and X6

maintained my F2 which was my main goal for the season.
First season of nationals which was a learning curve. Kiddy was a struggle as it was the first meeting with the D4, but results improved after that.

Highlight was EPR in 4wd where the car was so dialled, and the track was awesome.

BRC was a disaster weekend which took a lot of the shine off the season.

Will hopefully stick with the D4 next year, but the 2wd is up in the air.

1st Season back at it after a 5 year break from racing and 8 year break of electric racing.

Touring car bedworth 13.5 champion, admitidly there's hardly anyone doing it. 1st time out with touring, moving to 10.5 for next season. Staying with the T2 008.

Off road, started with xxx cr but didn't really get on with it, switched to a B44, only managed a few meetings but I'm pretty pleased with it, looking forward to doing the worksop indoor series with it. I'd love an X11 but it's too much cash for now, I think I'll hold out for the x12.

Now I've found my feet again I'd love to do the regionals and maybe some nationals, the only thing holding me back is the batteries, I'm all lipo - it's one of the main reasons I'm back in the hobby.

Basically I'm really pleased with my season and I'm looking forward to the next.
