Bury Metro Today

[MikePimlott]

Good day had by all ???
I had a good day slowly but surely getting them times better.

[PaulRotheram]

yeah it was a nice day, i really enjoyed it. my car is finally getting better for the track.

i had an absolute DISASTER in round 2 qualifiying, i was on for 14 laps and a sure A final place when i heard the buzzer go when i was coming to the banked corner and knew i could get the 14. i pushed hard around, the car then flipped and landed about an inch from the finish line, costing me the A final by a second or so :eek:

i had a great start the the B final, qualified 4th and got up to first within a few corners, then defended my place from stu evans for a long time, he then overtook me and i rolled the car, resulting in a broke ballstud.:jocolor:


The track was very technical ive got to say, it took me a while to get used to it and finally cracked it in the final. roll on next time i say!

Quite Ironically, it was the ballstud you cracked :jimmeh
Your car did look good Paul until then.

It was a good day, and luckily the rain held off until shortly after we all left!

i like the technical tracks i drive my B4 with lots steering rate, i suffer from grip roll alot but thats something ill have to ask people what they recomend to stop it. My quickest time today was 4 secs off a 13 laps.

Had not a bad day made to many mistakes didnt help that Roger put me in a hight heat so running with the faster lads didnt help the make spencer drive better period, felt like I had to push to hard to keep up so made mistakes. The final was better had a cleanish run no mistakes a few wide lines but managed a thirteen lapper so very happy with that.

Aye good day today, never raced a foreign regional before and was a bit mad having a seperate final like but still a laugh.
I set the car up same as I had it at the North East regional (bury) but it didnt seem quite as good, very "tippy" it was.

Got the photos done a couple of hours ago but I cant connect to my FTP for some reason, so, not sure when I can put them up

Yeah mate, I got mine from DC Racing, but any shop with a Helger account will be able to get them. The Losi TI balls are perfect quality, you'll need a 2mm allen driver to fit them.

They do them in short, medium and long, so think about the length you need - no harm in going too long but too short just won't do.

Did'nt use the new tyres anyway!

Thanks to all the guys that helped & gave me advice!

Craig.

As prevoiusly mentioned by Paul the B final duel was shaping up to be a cracker.
Paul got a great start & nicked the inside line about half a lap in. It was nose to tail for about another three mins with Derek & Barry chasing us down. When Paul broke the ball-stud I was genuinly sorry as a good race is of more interest to me than the result.

Return of the mighty Cock-Nose XX next week at Batley, got a lot of underseteer to get rid of.

There is a random gallery up on northernracer, I was a bit tied up when all the finals action was happening so Jimmy's gallery is (as normal) the place for the real action shots.

[Chrislong]

You managed to get an awesome picture of my BK2 Stu! Cheers!

[Gemma]

Looks like you all had fun.

We were club racing at Teesdale.

Hope to see you all at Batkey next weekend:flower:

[Stu]

Aye, we'll be there Gem, Caravans & Girls in tow.

[DCM]
