Best Passes

[neilcragg]

I love a great pass. After watching the 3rd leg of the touring car worlds (Rhienard and Hara) i was interested to know if any other racers have a favourite pass, either on or off road.

Well you may remember this one Neil it was you at Kiddy two years. I think it was in one of the 2wd a finals you took Pidge at the top right corner, you could tell it was good as everyone cheered. Someone said near me "he must have breathed in to get past there".

Bury is on again this Sunday will be nice see you there same place as before.

It's not just that it's a great move, it's because an event win is also on the line, and it's against arguably the greatest RC racer of all time, Masami. If you don't want to watch the whole race (but I would recommend it) skip to 1:50 and look out for the entrance off the triple onto the back straight...

Stotfold 2007. 4wd B final. Me passing you... Last lap, last corner. Enough said!

Batley Regional for me 2003. Banked corner end of the straight, me up the inside of you. Finest moment of my R/C career! Been mainly sharply downhill since then.

Kinda pay back for when you mugged me off at Tesside 2wd Regional the year before.

Neil, Telford couple (or longer) years ago, in the wet, down the hill into the hairpin-ish first corner. You literally slid up the inside of someone (can't remember who ) and you both handbraked it into the corner. Two cars, side by side, sliding sideways, but totally in control. Awesome

Junior nat finals at Hampshire track third leg A final between Darren Bloomfeild and Tony Truman third leg to count last two laps the lead changed three to four times a lap there was a lot of great moves from Darren and Tony that Day Darron won by Half a car length.Best racing I have seen to date.

Darren Boyle had several hart attacks in that time.
Great track for racing.

It coulda been the G final, it'd still have been funny because I know how much it hurts him being passed!

[Chris Doughty]

this seems to have turned into a thread called "once... I passed Neil..."

personally I liked stotfold 2008 Leg1 in 4WD... both front tires off and I put a move on you... happy days

The one I remember best is Cragg at Kiddy a couple of years back, the one Spencer mentions. Pidge get the lead, driving as hard as he can, yet Neil pulls him in, catches and overtakes with no hesitation. Im sure moves like that defy logic & physics, anyone else and that'd been both cars off into the bushes.

Neil, somehow the majority of great passes I remember involve you or Tricky.

It wasnt a great pass but its one i made and i liked it it was at worksop indoor finals this year. I caught 2nd place in my final somewhere low lol and took the inside line onto the corner table top and just took it at the right andgle and jumped accross it passing him Caught 1st then it just went down hill lol.

No, actually I'm going to change my mind.

One night at York (bear with me here...) there was like this totally awesome kid running a 12 year old tub RC10 team car, as he approached the jump he came up on a backmarker, who hesitated. He clipped the rear wheel of the backmarkers car on the up ramp. As the car took off it started to rotate SIDEWAYS. This kid was soooo cool, took it all in his stride. The car kept rotating, as if in slow motion, until it was right side up again (passing the backmarker during this time). It then landed perfectly on the very short down ramp, and off he went on his way to winning the A main by a lap

The kid was totally awesome dude. Best move I have EVER seen
