Never been to Bury before, glad I did.
Didnt expect the track to be half as good as it was, amazing track and big thanks to the organisers, despite a shocking final and some dodgy driving on my part, was a very enjoyable regional which I look forward to next years.
The little bumps were difficult but added to the challenge of the track and Im glas they were there, just to catch a few off guard and challenge them.
Mind you, that big jump off the banked corner broke alot of cars today and was tricky to get right but was great when you nailed it Mine survived somehow

First of all I would like to say thank you all for tuning up this weekend and I appologise again for not being there. I did have something else on this weekend. Sorry. It was a very good turn out and I hope everybody enjoyed our track. Just thanks again for all.

Jimmy, I ended up being up 21 hours on Saturday, up at 5am, not to bed till gone 2 Sunday morning, and up again at 6.30 this morning.

How tired do I feel now? Going to bed in a minute.

Great weekend, I really like Bury track, great track and great people.

Also thanks to little Ben for marshalling for me while I had a little tummy trouble

Thanks Bury! My first regional meeting and I loved it. The course was extremely challenging for me, as it seemed to be for many drivers. Other than that, the organisaton was faultless, the welcome warm, and the weather dry! What more could you want?

Aye, I was expecting no rain but not much more, come home and mum says my face is bright red, lovely weather. Again, brilliant track guys, thoroughly enjoyed it rubbish driving or not. The national drivers will be in for a big surprise

Sorry Northy and Stu, as I feel I may have had a small amount of influence in your tiredness today

I hope your racing did not suffer too much, I blame that dodgy pint in the Con Club, CON being the word!!

Just remember:

when your way on down, I can be your hero! Not in a brokeback way you understand

first time at bury, first time on astro. top day top meeting (even if some of the delays were a bit long(those top drivers eh? they don't like rushing to their marshal posts do they?)).

I realy enjoyed myself on the way to the c final. shame a stripped servo horn ended my race early.

Nice to chat with woody, I took some of your advice and the car handled better in the final.

Liked the first half of the track, nice and flowing. the second half, not to sure about (as I mentioned to you woody) but I just got on with it and was careful over those ickle jumps.

Deffo look forward to going there again.

Thanks guys.

Excellent weekend, especially the 2WD day. I love the speed and flow of Bury, well done to the club, and the new features were great.

Pity we couldnt get more people involved with the footy on Sat night, but the record is now 14 to beat in the keep up game.

Well done to Dan, an 'eventful' qualifying and final resulted in a well deserved win, excellent stuff.

The B final I was in was a bit rough, could maybe have done with an official referee, but still enjoyable.

Nice display of car control from the AE lads in the non regional heat aswell,

all in all, a memorable weekend.

Thanks chaps, I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday, drove pretty well and won’t let Richard forget my move past him on the triples Thanks for putting those in the track Woody else I would never have got back past him!

Not sure what the policy on refs is now, I thought we were going to have them but we didn’t at Durham or at Bury. From what I heard the back of the A was a scrappy affair, some taking out and not waiting (very rude).

Tel, if you saw some scruff in a Novak T-shirt peering into the back of your focus, that was me. Your Optima shell is every bit as nice in the flesh as it is on the computer, good skills!

Brilliant day Sunday. The Bury track is a real challenge but fantastic. Woody is that your old fella on race control? Had a good chat and a laugh with him as we waited (again) for the top boys to marshall our lowly heat.

Dans OVERtaking of Richard was right under our nose, it was gonna take something a bit spesh cos Richard was on it too. Good racing. Saw a few of the other guys in the A having a minor dommie but I'm sure they'll sort it out. Not sure what happened to Tom, he was going well then diseappeared a bit.

Anyway top day, cant wait for next one.
