Mike Reedy was over along with Mark Pavidis and Brian Kinwald.. i was there too!

Was hopeing on my new shells being ready.. which they are but they are still at airhead graphics in Essex and they look the dogs!

Yep.. was going to mention that but didnt know how many people would remember it! lol!

I borrowed some foams from Steve Haynes, who i think was running for Tamiya at the time?? either the Egress or manta ray (cant remember what the 2wd was called??) go it the Astute!! there tamiya days could have been after this..?? well it is along time ago!!

Where did Skelders end up Mr sleigh?

[YoungChazz]

Amazing job Big E, both at Southport and the entire season. We're so proud!!!

Does anybody have results?

[Darren Boyle]

Chazz, Ellis said that he "screwed up" leg one a little and could not get the lead back, but won legs 2 and 3 by a margin of around 8 seconds each!!!! Thats all I know at present mate.....

[YoungChazz]

Paul & I have been all day at a small indoor track near Dayton Ohio for a regional race. I'm actually running stock truck with my proto X - 60.

Just curious -- does anybody have the qual & finish orders?

[Belsten]

any update on how today is panning out ?

[DanW]

Neil Cragg was todays winner, running the new Yokomo car he had for the euros.

TQ in all 4 rounds and wins in legs 1 & 2 of the A-final. 3rd leg of the A-final was close fought with Lee Martin taking 1st and Cragg second. Lee Martin took second spot overall.

[DaveG28]

I thought he wasn't getting the new car back for another month or so, was it definitely the Bmag he raced?

[Phil Channon]

Who else made the A final ????
