Not sure how but my final was actually good in 4wd, I had such a rubbish day in 4wd and crashed every lap it seemed, then in the final from 10th on the grid I managed to race the entire 5 minutes without error and won it!
I liked the track for 4wd , I didnt like that lump of concrete that was just after the table top, it was on the apex of a corner but the corner obscured it. Evil it was.
At least the final made up for the naff performance all weekend.

I marshalled your race and your body must have come off half a dozen times in one of the rounds

Aye, gutted I was.. Put the car down, worked, waggled wheels, worked.. set off, erm, nothing, dead!..
something seriously wrong with my Quantum2 in the zx5, I already replaced some wires and re did the switch (or rather john price did for me, thanks john) .. It seems to be when I put the throttle on it switches off or resets or something - sometimes.
when it worked I was already a lap down and vicky didnt manage to secure the shell properly..
I was all up for wanging my car into an immovable object at the end of that particular race!

Want to thank Nathan Ralls and Ian barnard for lending my cheap-self some tyres.

hehe, I shaved down my green fronts a little, but the rear pinks you lent me on the B4 really helped, it was much more progressive than the greens. A shame they last so little time around there though, makes for an expensive day.

Me too! Car was awesome on Sunday and had my best ever finish at a National I think. Might have been able to qualify a bit better if it wasn't for traffic.

Really confident about 4wd this season now, and the B4's off well too!

Didn't get chance to say goodbye to many people on Sunday, we saw a gap we could get the car though so went for it before we got blocked in again. See you all next time.

Oh, and by the way, I wasn't Pissed on Saturday night!

Was that because you drove off before I had chance to hook it down properly? :jimmeh
Anyway, if the body came off 6 times then it was me and 5 other people that didn't manage

I didn’t give you my spares as I promised Jimmy, sorry! As expected I did have too many and brought three sets back with me, I even talked to you a few times about why you were using BB spikes, oops.

Nothing wrong with bottom finals, I made sure I was in them for both days… That way the best drivers are forced to watch/marshal my efforts, all done on purpose you see

The first sign of being pissed is when you start denying it !

G, your attempts to claim non pissedness (new word) will not pass Mrs Whittle's radar,

Slurring words
Blurry eyes
Demanding another lager
Pursuading everyone to have another lager
nicking "stealth" road signs

OH! and being told to behave by Mi Julie!!!

Never mind, we can have a re-match at Southport.

Stu currently holds the pissed world record at Southport for losing an expensive denim jacket on the track and never finding it again!

I am sure you can do better!
LOL
