yeah im looking forward to it now and how long is the straight compared to batley longer/shorter

just hope the weather stays fine

see you tomorrow

chrispattinson · #**142** 26-04-2008

The straight is about the same as Batley, but there is then a slight sweeper, only 45 degrees or so onto another short straight, which gives the impression of a long straight.

The straight isnt that looooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggg g, Ive seen lnger, I was just mentioning it incase anyone still had their tiny little pinions on from the indoor season.

No problem ChrisP, you can answer the technical stuff because I have absolutely no idea, well I do know what a pinion is, I think I've counted teeth on those before and how to hold a battery while he solders something on it, bar I think he said (hopefully without burning me in the process

) but that's about as technical as it gets for me.

Oh and I know how to say 'well we're in Britain so you can expect it to rain at some point' which will no doubt be comment of the day tomorrow

If it rains and the gazebo we're using tomorrow leaks then race control will be diverted to the car!!!

(Oh and did you save me any pizza?

because mr turbo_brick didn't the meanie!)

Im sure it will b ace!! i cant wait now and its only 15 mins from me

It sounds like you have all put in a lot of effort, but i think we need some more commitment from (mr) turbo brick, not answering questions at 4am is simply not on

Should be a good day though, we always have a laugh and abuse lil ben,i found out before i actually have a full set of BB blues that i used at kiddy last week thinking they were greens

turbo_brick · #**145** 27-04-2008

Lee is 3:15 ok, as for answering questions I believe between chris and my better half (as she likes to be called) have answered everything.

I'm now going to try and get a couple of hours sleep, see everyone in the morning.

Well done to lil ben on winning his 1st Regional!!!!!!!

His car looked the best by a mile and he drove superbly and looked super relaxed, and led home some F1 Factory drivers. Nice one Ben

josh_smaxx · #**147** 27-04-2008

ACE drive Ben, was filming the whole things and you and Ben Riley got really close but you kept your cool and just kept going, good one!

Also, the meeting was well run, very relaxed and weather turned out quite nice in the end. Good effort from all the organisers and the track was AWESOME, loved every part of it.

Anyone get any pics?

Have you got the vid uploaded yet josh?

Lee · #**149** 27-04-2008

Josh got some cool pics, im sure once he has sorted through them he will put them somewhere for all to see

josh_smaxx · #**150** 27-04-2008

Im just going through the pics now, i'll put the vid on street fire but it could take all night to load, unless i find a way of cropping it down to go on youtube. Good battle between the Ben's at the beggining before Jemison pulled away. Oh and Ben, i still owe you £2

lol

rcluke · #**151** 27-04-2008

how did you and alex do josh ?

did walla and legend race also ?

josh_smaxx · #**152** 27-04-2008

I made the D and finished 6th, Alex was in the F but didnt start, Walla made the E but unsure of where he finished and Legend was in the C but again, unsure of where he finished.

rcluke · #**153** 27-04-2008

not bad that josh, only the 3rd time you have drove it right?

why didnt alex start?

he didnt strip the yellow spur did he

josh_smaxx · #**154** 27-04-2008

I was pretty happy with my result, first time racing competatively, first time on grass ect.

Alex ddint start because his speedo kept cutting out, we havent solved it yet but we suspect its the reciever wire.
