Ozfest 08 - Unofficial Oswestry National Thread

[Mossy]

Thought Oz put on a great meeting. Club members always helpful, with Channon & Ashley the un-sung hero's of the weekend. Cant fault it!

Absolutely quality weekend, Driving was alright on saturday, but was on form today, electrics && car let me down though(overheating and stupidly breaking)
Thanks to all the Oswes team for a great track.

Oswes has officially wrote off 2 of my cars now

top weekend, thanks boys

[andy reeves]

Really enjoyed today, Thanks to all the people making today happen and thanks for booking the sun Thought the track was interesting and a test for everyone. I did make one possible improvment to a club member. But that was only a slight suggestion. On a personal note i cracked the top 100 for the first time at a national

I thought it was great fun and i loved the jumps wanna see more in the future

We added them up at the end of round 4 tricky ran his xx4 in the finals which put the xx4 one ahead but it doesnt really matter.

From a social side of things i really enjoyed myself met James Haliwell and trish and spoke to danny a fair bit. The quiz was ace there was me my parents my uncle and aunty, james oliver and mrs oliver jeff and berrol stanton and out of about 45 points we scored 10 I dont think we got any of the rc ones right.

Im glad i didnt race as i dont think it would have been as much fun.

Thanks to all the drivers who made our job so much easier through scruntineering, its not the most interesting job the world but everyone was cool with us looking under your shells and calling your cars bricks, buses, tanks etc etc...

Well done to the two A finalists who used cells from Stormforce Racing.. im just so very very proud..

[Richard Lowe]

Well done to the club and Danny for his gardening skills!

The 'jump issue' spoilt the day for me a bit today but this thread is not the place...

[Cockerill]

Very well done to the club, BRCA and all involved (Including Danny who cut the grass ). It was a well run meeting on a good track with great weather.

I agree with Rich that the triple was not great for consistency, but hey, we live and learn. The track gets better each year so I look forward to an even better one next year.

I also noticed that the yellows I got today were much better than the ones I got at Kiddy

Ace skills on the commentating MCDC,have to say i enjoyed it loads, did feel you left out a (boy he hit that one outa the ball park)
and (he's crashed he's crashed on the double doubles)
hehe

[neiloliver]

DC, the commetary was very good. I would also love to see a two man commentary... dodge ball style

[ben]

Thanks to all involved. Good track... great weather .

Great commentary MCDC made the weekend alot more enjoyable.

[Chrislong]

I think Oz has come on a long way since 2 years ago, each year gets better. But the consistency of the two big jumps partially spoilt what was otherwise an ace track (I mean my ability on the 2nd to hit a microscopic down ramp - it was built well after the repair)

Brian Harris does a great job, but dare I say it - I want MCDC to be the full time MC! Its ace!!!!

Big thanks to McGee for doing the grass cutting, I think my comments regarding the track would have been negative now if it wasn;t for that.

[Lee]

Again thanks to the Oz team for all the effort and hard work, you did a top job

Both my cars were pretty crap but i had a great weekend and a lot of laughs, roll on talliwaingggfffggh

Agreed, but it's just a pity that there seems to be very little consistancy it the whole thing
