The jumps would be due out the week before on the 5th, could see about having that changed if you wanted them out. I'm always up for getting them out more often!

The winter league at CVMCC has just ended and the dominant driving of 18 year old Ryan Edwards from Lisbellaw saw him victorious.with a comforatable points lead over second place driver Enniskillen's Stephen Carson. 14 year old Aaron Vance from Omagh, still in his first year of racing, held on to his 3rd place with some very mature driving in the last round.
In the Novice Championship 11 Year old Karl Millar from Lisbellaw and Balinamallard driver Wayne Balfour finished on equal points but it was the youngsters tally of race "wins" that saw him lift the title. Third spot was, Karls dad, Gareth Millar

Congratulations to all! Looking forward to next Thursday.

Just reviving the thread a bit, and insinuating myself into it in the process.

I'm looking forward to using this week's hiatus to get myself sorted out properly. Alas, I'll have to miss the Friday meeting at Craigavon.

Jump week last Thursday was absolute carnage - even the marshalls were at risk. When Miller senior tripped and fell on the landing spot for that evil triple ramp, I thought he was done for...

[mole2k]

The triple was fine if you lined it up right, a lot of people seemed to be taking the full throttle approach though even if they hadnt straighted the cars up from the previous corner.

It was the fact the jumps didn't have a straight run-up that caused all the problems.

Btw, I've been working on the design of a banked corner - I'll hopefully have a scale prototype to show next Thursday!

[mole2k]

The non-straight run-up just meant you had to get the car positioning right before going over the jumps, it also stopped the very throttle happy people like matty taking it flat and entering the stratosphere!

You're much better to enter them slow get the car lined up then power over them, the jump wasnt that great as there wasnt an option to roll over it which meant that you had to jump. This made it a lot harder for the people who wouldnt be able to land a jump every time sucessfully. That was it's biggest flaw I think.

Stephen Carson (Mole2k) made a wee bit of History last night at Fivemiletown with his Pole and Overall Win driving his Xray T2 007.
It's the first win for a Touring car I believe and the new family of "Cats" will be out to prove a point next week.......

And he did it by a country mile, too, despite some roughing up by the buggies!

Everyone else was either having a bad night, running a new car or simply hadn't showed. It was a superb demonstration of what could be done with a TC - the damage to shells, however, could make the cost prohibitive in the long run.

Well my Cat was "new to me" and I thought 2nd on it's first run wasn't too bad.......
Wasn't too surprised at the 007 as it's had a good owner in the past.....

[mole2k]

It had a good owner, who owned it before you Jim ?

Not only the cost of replacing shells after the buggys rough you up the cost of having to probably put 4 new tyres on everynight would soon add up .

Back to the 501x for next week I think.
