A big thanks to Lee and all those responsible for making today a great race day. Good weather and good racing on a tricky track. Just a shame there weren't more people there.

I really wanted to come to this but was away last night in Liverpool so would never have made it for the early start.
How did it go? was it driveable for a 1/10th car? who won? Any plans for another one?

Was a brilliant track on a fantastic racing surface, if they hadn't had the slightly dodgy dirt delivered it would have been spot on. Great for learning your car on too, by the end of the day even I had throttle control with my heavy left index finger and a 13 turn
 Was somewhat annoyed by dumping in the final after leading for a lap though (still haven't figured out why  ). Only criticism of the track is that it's a little hard to see smaller 10th scale cars around the track with regards to marshilling, with the large pipes and features, quite often it took quite a while for people to get marshalled, but i can't say i really know a solution either. It seems to me they usually have more marshalls out at a time there? was points numbered up to 15 or so.

not many people at all....which i must say im very pissed off about.
the track and organisers re laid the surface and done alot of work to the track to make this work for us 10th guys. tony is extremely helpful and will do almost anything for the racing community and to repay him by a small turnout is unexceptabl really... i feel quite embarrased for myself and 10th scale as it showed alomst no commitment to a new and awesome venue. makes myself wonder why i try so hard to find new palces and put on events when the turn out is minimal. the day went smooth. we all had fun and the cars got some BIG air and loved it! i TQ'ed and after messing around in the final Daz Bloomfield won with truman 2nd. all i can say is im dissapointed. rant over

Location may have had something to do with this, and also that the 1st round of the Kiddy winter series was running!
Just my 2 cents (I didnt go to Kiddy btw) M.

How many times have people been to kiddi.................?
its not going to change....this is a one off track that is only a one off event........ i thought that racing on dirt with big jumps would appeal. no disrespect for kiddi...... but its not change from the past 10 years! and this is a one off meeting that we were lookingfor support for. i also used 1 set of tyres all day! what did you all use?

I didnt use any tires...
I didnt even go racing... Know what you mean pidge! Considering this could be one of the rounds that COULD replace Tiverton next year as a national, I do wonder where some of the national drivers were... Sorry to hear about ur turn out. Mark

Sounds like a good track that people just didnt go too. The weather was good, but I bet alot of people went to Kiddy. Its hard to get people to try different things, its easier for people to just complain!!!!!
And I didnt race this weekend either, was home recovering from an operation.

What a great days racing, great weather, great venue, unable to keep Jordan off it, any car & batteries and he was out between heats and after the finals, but, yes more racers would have been nice, we went expecting this to be fun & interesting and it was. every one was friendly & helpful, great day out. Big thanks to all involed.
Results are on Bolextric site already, http://www.bolwextric.co.uk/rcresult...fieldelectric/ ps: venue was photogenic as well.......

What an awesome day it was!!!!!
That track gets huge respect from me, 2wd with Proline tyres on a Dirt track with huge jumps is what this hobby is all about I think the track would easily cope with a big 1/10th meeting, especially with a few minor adjustments to tighten certain sections up a bit, but the main thing is that it's soooo big there are loads of ways to make it smaller / different. The two huge doubles were absolutely awesome, even the Sun was out so all you guys that decided not to come really missed out i'm afraid. I know where Lee's coming from as it does just make the 1/10th people look like they're not interested - If he'd advertised it as a 1/8th meeting he'd have probably got 50 people easily. Just hope they're still prepared to help us all out by making this superb venue even better for our little 10th cars, as for me there won't be another track like this for a fair bit of time......... Thanks again to Tony the organiser, and to Adam and Rob for making the day somewhat entertaining for us all

I don't want to look at the results.
So that's what the American tracks are like. Cool. I can tell I'm a really slow learner. I broke a bunch of stuff. My arse was all over the shop. Fantastic day. Beautiful drive down and back along the A272 between the A and M 3. I'd certainly do it again. If you weren't there you missed an outstanding meeting. I wouldn't touch the track, it doesn't need to be shorter, narrower or need an infield. I had Bowties and fat ribs and they look barely touched after a day. Although, I can't be certain, because they are caked in mud. Elliott.
