Default And then it was 2....

2 seconds, thats all that seperated me and the big man at southport yesterday in the guests final!

Are we boring everyone with our banter yet? haha

Qualifying I was just 0.3 seconds per lap off craigs time.

Then in the final to make things interesting craig started from the back of the grid (but it was a little pointless as by about half way through the 1st lap he was up to second), behind me! We had a good race for a while, I held him off then he tried the dirty tactics of trying to take me out but he came off worse hahaha. A few laps later he had a crash and the marshal was quite slow and took about 7 seconds to reach his car. He slowly caught back up then with about 20 seconds to go, me leading the race, I was taken clean out by someones over agressive driving (not craig) which meant craig went through and I finished 2 seconds off his time. D'oh!!

I so wanted this to be my maiden victory over him but it wasnt to be, but its getting closer, I will be the best Collinson driver very shortly, you just watch MUHAHAHA!!

seriousley if you could talk rubbish for a living you would be minted!!

Let me set the record straight. for the first time since my brothers return we were in the same heat so this was his first real chance to see if he could keep up with me. in the first round i was about 3 seconds of lapping him and in the second round i was over a lap quicker then the skinny muppet!! haha. after he took some of my advice on setting his car up he was considerably quicker than his previous two rounds thanks to me. He had a clean run in the third or fourth round but was still nearly 12 seconds slower than my quickest time and considering we were doing 17 and 18 second laps thats nearly 3/4 of a lap down!! haha u r still rubbish!

In the final i started from the back of the grid to give him a bit of a chance and yes after a few corners i was in second place quickly catching my brother. when i cought him he was so slow and rubbish that i got frustrated and clipped his back end but i came off worse and needed to be marshalled so i had to catch him up again and the same thing happened. thenhalf way through the race someone crashed and wiped me clean out with them so i ended up with a 26 second lap. so by halfway through the race i was over a quater of a lap down on my brother but yet again i quickly pulled him in and ccrossed the line in front.

The fact of the matter is YOU LOST!!! LOSER

hahahahahahahahahahaha

oh yeh and in the heat where i did lap him he let me through and then tried to keep up with me but he after about half a lap of trying his best to keep up he crashed!! this proves that by trying to keep up with the big man he was testing his skills to the max but he doesnt have the skills to keep it going for over just half a lap!!! haha if you tried to keep up with me throughout the whole race you would spend half the race on your roof!!!!

hahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha

thats a good thing i hope? we try to keep the meetings relaxed to make it a nice day to all

i enjoyed yesterdays meeting, i was cursed with a migrane from previous days and the heat was really killing me - but i tried to make the most of it.

i qualified 7th on the grid and had a good race with derick mclarney and finished up 6th.

im now 4th overall in the region, 3 points behind mr danny mcgee.

one more round to go at bury in august - another mid A final for me and ill be happy.

naturally!

it seemed i could throw the car around more - explains why i needed to use a smaller piston in the rear though. ive dropped back to red piston and 27.5 oil with cut down yellow spring and it is very good!

proto jrxs link worked well too. shall fit the new production CR one this week.

Yeah, I need to try the Yellow spring trick. I'm really impressed with my car at the moment, so much so I don't know what to do about my X-6

the yellow spring trick is great! i tried pink springs and felt it was too stiff, and yellows seemed to be too soft with the red piston.

i asked tricky to cut it down correctly and it worked wounders!

more like your the idiot! check this out peeps, when we arrived at southport on sunday we had turned up way too early and there was nobody there so we decided to go to mcdonalds for some breakfast. After we had finished breakfast Wayne realised that he couldnt find his mobile phone. then he suddenly realised that when he had emptied his tray of rubbish into the bin he also emptied his mobile phone in the bin!!!! haha what a numpti, he then had to ask someone at mcdonalds to open the bin and they had to rummage through all the rubbish and sure enough it was at the bottom of the bin!!!

whos the idiot?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!
