Here’s a vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDis-KSzbLc

This is the old layout but the surfaces are the same and the new layout is very similar. Not sure if there might be some more changes before the national any-hoo.

Cheers, i've just had a look at the video, ..... what tyres do the boys use on their Sharks/Blazes?. Are Gecko's the thing to use or rally blocks?

But i have a 10th speedo shoehorned in now, and a mongoose motor arriving tomorrow so watch your back!

I always have to watch my rear with you mate ....... I was on fire on Monday, just have to see if it was a fluke or the start of something good

Sorry guys for leaving early. Incase you are wondering, the reason was the lack of ability to listen by the club. They were told that the jumps were poor after practice and minimum effort was put into fixing it. Craig even discovered the down side of ramp 2 would have made a better up ramp - but not enough action when they had the chance before round 1.

So in round 1 I manage perhaps 2 clean laps at best, and I come down from the rostrum a tad frustrated - which i did voice to Ben (our only representative from the BRCA who should be representing its members?). Nothing was being done and I wasn't enjoying myself so I chose to leave and I raced a different class elsewhere where I had a fab day.

I now wish to cancel my remaining entries from Micro. If id have travelled any more than I did to get to Macc then id have been a little more angry - and so im not bothering.

Hope Craig and Tony took the first two positions.

On a positive note, Maccs new venue is excellent, and the food is great. Spoilt by the track jumps. It is probably awesome for 2D racers, its certainly prepared and presented well and is a credit to those involved.

That would seem a little petty cancelling the rest of your entries due to one track? At the end of the day it's the same track for all, just make the best of it? The other venues may well be superb.

Did you leave Tally early last year with their horrible double?

[jim76]

HUGE congrats to pirate boy on his podium today! New you had it in you after the last few weeks!

[Jonesy]

Well done Bish, I really must get my Micro up and running, I've only had it for a year!!

Because of 1 bad experience!? It's was Macclesfield first ever entry into the micro nationals, jeeze. Where has the love and support gone to help get the class (only in it's second year) better established? Chill dude.
