The Unofficial Talywain National Thread

[Darren Boyle]

Ellis has TQ'd I know for sure since he text me, I think he said Craggy was second, but there was still a round to run.

[Darren Boyle]

Just heard from Bloomy on his way home, he won from fourth on the grid, from Neil in second from Ellis in third.

[Garry Driffill]

4th from the go to win is pretty good going !

any xxx4s in stock ?

[ashleyb4]

This is nothing confirmed but but i would suspect that bloomers might be unning a xx4 as mcgee ran his xx4 at ozfest and tricky did te same in the finals so maybe they are running the xx4's again.

[Darren Boyle]

Yes Darren is running a XX4, he does not even have a XXX4!

Good weekend for your cars Ashley, wins for the XXXCR and XX4.

Another good showing from Ellis with the X-Factory's and Neil was definatley in contention all weekend too, it is going to be a VERY close pair of championships this year and that is not forgetting all the other fast guys too (Tom, Phil, Lee, Chris etc etc)

Cheers all at tally, good weekend and great racing to watch all topped off with the good 'ol welsh weather

[DCM]

Hey Griff, the weather was ace (for Welsh weather!!) and never known a ground to be soooo soft....

Glad for a good shower, my own coffee and a comfy bed later though....

To think, some people will still be travelling home..... poor buggers, we are unpacked, washed and knackered.... plus I got sunburn..... somehow!!

[GRIFF55]

Glad its a close one, long haul trips coming up, bring it on!!

[_sleigh_]

Awesome result today Griff, you looked right at home in the B final.

[GRIFF55]

Cheers mate, it was a great laugh. Your d4 looked pretty damn good round there too, good weekend for both of us i think

[Doomanic]

Not too good a weekend for me, thanks to the Transit lunching it's cambelt on the way there.

I got home almost as quickly on the back of an AA truck as I did the van and I didn't have to pay for the diesel.

Many thanks to the people who helped me get all my stuff back to the van after the meeting.

[David Church]

Yes you guys did a great job prepairing the track!!! A great weekends racing
The X-6 for me was great, and the AC 4wd was sweet as well!!!!!

Well done to Griffs for making the b final, great driving dude!!!!!

Next stop on the National tour, is my local track, hehe, see you at at EPR!!!!!!!

[Chrislong]

Enjoyed the weekend, the Talywain deserve a pat on the back! My only gripe is a small one, and thats because I struggle with distance - couldn;t judge the far sections of the track - but thats just me. The facility was ace, the track was good, and the locals were a good laugh down the pub (The Con) on Friday night.

[Lee]

I had a great weekend too, well done to the talywain organisers you did a great job.

My only tiny gripe was the positioning of the doubles or even the corners after them. My point being that the corners were immediatley after them and its always going to be a point where people crash, if the corners were an extra foot further on we would have been able to see our cars when others were being marshalled. Apart from that it was good.

[DCM]

but if you give more room to land after then jump, people jump further and still crash, it is a tough call, I think the doubles (tripples on Sat) were in the right place, squarely in front of the rostrum.

[Lee]

People may jump further but people were not crashing from overjumping, it was usually from coming up short

[Lew]

Good weekend, but driving pretty sucked. and what sucked even more was blowing my speedo up..or something which put me out and pissed me off

but was a good weekend still

bring on eden park

[telboy]

On Sat the tripple was pretty good, but I agree with Lee. When cars were being marshalled on sunday you couldn't see the run up to the top 'humped' corner. I think it would have been better putting the two jumps on the double a bit closer together, that way people wouldn't have to jump as far to clear them and there may have been less crshing there.

Other than that the track as ace, on both days. Got a bit slippery though.
