i'm feeling lots of hate towards the poor Gerbil!!!

Admittedly the kit shocks are horrific and if you ever plan to race one (or even just bash it) you will need better shocks. B4 ones work a treat! But i've had a B4 in the past and don't like them, just the shocks! Yes, it's no longer a £50 car, but it's still a 1/3rd price RB5!! lol

Alec, i'm thinking of trying a Durga!

just kidding

I'd like to thank Paul and Tony for hosting the event, along with all the guys that helped out over the weekend, me, Yardy, Gemma, Wraggy, C-Cup and then the Mid-West crew for getting involved at the end of Sunday. Hopefully we've done enough to persuade Paul and Tony there would be help if they were to apply for a National next year!

On the racing front it was good to see so many different faces to those at Nationals and good to see that we put on a good show!

I'm still beating myself up over finishing 7th in 2wd despite TQ'ing, should have been better! Also, still cursing my 4wd luck, felt I should have qualified higher than 5th and certainly should have been higher than 7th!

Overall though it was probably one of the most competitive and intense weekends racing I have ever competed in!

Congrats to all the winners of the various classes and special mention to WoOdy and Nathan Waters for their wins in the BRC event.

For those of you going to Broxtowe then I will see you there, hopefully I can get on the mic this time (if Yardy lets me!) and for those of you who are not at Broxtowe I hope to see you over the winter.

Lastly, well done TEAM MID-WEST

Thank you Stuart

I think it was some tent related problem.

There will be something along after the Durango review is up, but I think it will just be a photo gallery with comments, not a full report.

To be honest Dave there was some bother on Saturday during the day, so by the time Saturday night came along it was already off the rails, but by Sunday there was no way it was gonna be going anywhere.
