For my first endurance race, it was really fun, but very tiring. Event went well and started around 10:30 and finished at 4:30.

The winners were Team York and looking forward to next year.

Yep, Stu from northernracer.com was taking pics. He'll post a link to them when he's done them I would have thought. Doubt it'll be tonight though, its been a tiring weekend.

Was an odd day though, lots of vintage cars goign round, and lots of people being a bit cheeky and putting other peoples cars upside down as far away as possible All good fun though.

I moved a few cars off the racing line... also moved a XXX4 under a jump... all a bit of fun

I was just chuffed that the team I was in wasn't *that* far behind York this year.

Vintage cars were ace though, some were bloody quick too. Just shows the ability of your driving when a RC10 (which is older than me) is putting in laps as quick (if not quicker) than me with a modern car!!

Looks like you guys had a great weekend pre-York! The photos are great, as usual and racing the vintage/retro cars for the endurance was brilliant!!!

That XX of Stu's is awesome. I think id prefer it to a new XXX-CR

How did my X-6 creep in there???? THANK YOU STU!!

No comment.

I wonder if any of these vintage cars could make a regional A final.

*The X-6's drive pin decided to give up when you drove it... nothing major. Need new tyres though, and a slower motor.

**Also noticed i'm in 2 pics on the link. Woop!

The full Vintage cars, probably not, but not definately not.

The XX's are fast enough to do it, easy.

If Craggy drove it then yes, or maybe a Batley track with maxed out polished floor as it was ace on that. Normally no though!
