Ok, had af un day all in all, track i thought was demanding and the big double was very inconsistant for me thus putting me out of the final in the first lap oh well, racing goes on.

I found it to demanding for my level of driving to keep consistant, damn good layout and great fun but after a while it got a little frustrating not being able to get it right when it matters, guess i'll just have to practice more for next year

Ye, well done matt, top result and very well organised, i was surprised how quick each heat went on, ran superbly i thought, just a shame some kid turned the lights off

Right then were shall i start. Good points:
  • Fantastic drive matt in the final. I just couldnt handle the pressure of you up my back door. haha.
  • The track was absoloutley brilliant really good layout. Dont see what was inconsistent about the double jump? It just needed a straight runup haha comin from me.
Bad points:
  • Didnt have the best of days BUT ive learnt alot about my driving and where i need to improve
  • Greg williams knocked me out of the A-main in 2wd not happy haha. But thats racing.
And again thanks everyone for an excellent meeting

lil ben

I've been doing stuff for this regional since yesterday morning, and I'm technically NOT a York club member

Anyway, always the same few.

I enjoyed today, but sorry for it dragging on a bit people

Shame it ran so late, but on a positive note, we all missed those Donkey's Dancing on Ice or whatever they do on ITV3... LOL. Nothing to miss on TV, just a Sunday roast..

Track was ace. Lots to do per lap, but not too much. nothing was not do-able without car control and plenty of concentration. Well done to York club for that.

Shame about the lights, but nevermind, was just one of those things, was a pure accident. Would have been annoyed if it had been a kid larking around unsupervised though, as they are, and they shouldn't be (i'll bring my cage)

Josh, practice makes perfect my friend, racing on tracks like this will only help you get better, racing on easy tracks will be of no benefit atall. I was watching you go around and I can't help but wonder if you have as much control as you think holding the tranny like that.... your choice ofcause, but I got to say it.... please do try a more conventional way and see if you can work with that better (i.e. not just 1 go and dismiss it)
