Ok guys a little quiet last week with only 21 on a track obviously laid out mainly by the buggy lads I can only assume from the inclusion of THREE jumps!
Grip varied picking up as the night went on but seemed to fade again for the final for some reason.
Well time to charge and prep for next Monday when the buggies will be due the extra round.
See you there

[cheapskate]

i thought the track layout was mintthe more jumps the better
when are we starting another championship?

[lazysurfer]

Well a cracking turn out last night with 29 cars on track, 11 TC’s and 18 buggies, a new record for the venue on a track presumably built by the buggy lads again with an ever increasing number of jumps!
Many more buggies and we’ll be in the predicament of how to split the heats again so come on TC lads, get back racing and stop defecting to the dark side.
Grip started a bit low but improved over the night and was decent enough for the last quali’s and final making for some close racing with TC’s flat out side by side for most of the length of the straight and not ending in tears J

See you all next week

Well not a bad turn out last night with 21 racing, 11 TC’s and 10 buggies. There was also plenty of grip to be had with the* hall noticeably warmer than usual when we went in.
A good win in the TC class for Nev on new tyres, buggy winner anyone?
A bit of a hiccup with the buggy quali thanks to the loop taking a hammering from some over enthusiastic jumping landing off the track and on the connector. Some of you even had a good attempt at taking out race control!!!!
See you all back next week J

[cheapskate]

I think Buckle won the A buggy final and Jonathan Carr won the B final

[jonny carr]

could be wrong but I think jonny clarke won the buggy A final.

Well a bit of an odd night last night, 21 racing comprising 9 TC and 11 buggies meaning we run 2 buggy heats and only 1 TC for the first time!!!
At least we all got 5 races so buggies will get the extra one next week.
Well done to everyone in the mixed ability TC heat on some very clean and well mannered driving, the mixed abilities proving no problem at all with everyone allowing lapping cars past. The worst piece of driving I seen all night was in the final courtesy of yours truly clipping Dan when lapping him - apologies again Dan!
Where the hell are the rest of you TC lot - long term awol STILL are Harry, Campbell, and the Andersons with Telford, Dytham, Ian, Mel, Nigel, Clarky all missing to name a few, get back along, the dark side is taking over!
Anyway if you lot could get back to me on who is interested in turning up and putting on a race for the car show at corbridge on 13th May.
I’ve provisionally said we’d do it as they seem to think they can provide us with some equipment to set up a track on both grass and tarmac to run both classes.
Possible returning racer in the weeks to come - James Chappel threatening and also a rumour that the Hobbit could come back - fingers crossed we see them both back sometime soon.

Show details on the link below - could be a good day out so let me know who’s interestedJ

James is making another return? He cant live without us! plenty of buggies at the minute?! Touring cars are old skool!

[Xray008]

Does 9 + 11 not make 20
Or is it just me who cannot count
Sounds like a good buggy club I will have to pop over for a go
