Bury Metro 2009 / 10 Series
 

A good series with some good close racing. Thanks to all the people who built and put away the tracks and also Jonesy for doing the scoring. Its an excellent venue and looking forward to racing there next winter.

Just so everyone else is aware, especially the rest of the "prize" winners (Jonesy, Mat, Evo & the truck winners) there is no longer any prize money for this series even though it was stated so in the posts below) :thumbdown:

Hopefully, someone from the club will be along to explain the reasons why.

I think its good that they managed to give away over £300 of prizes every meeting, altho it would have been even better If I'd have won something :lol:.

Its a shame there's been a bit of friction the last few weeks but its been a fantastic series thats been well organised and well run. Good job guys and I'll hope to see some faces over the summer outside at the NW Regionals and at our Keighley track :).

Great meeting guys, and a great championship.. Well done all involved and thank you very much:thumbsup:

WINNER
 

WELL THAT WAS A WINTER WELL SPENT
alomost didnt show today but glad i did. started at the very back of grid and finished at the front. ( d final of course ) 1st 1st nice.......
any way good work on everyone who ran it. just look at the turnout round after round . reserves any one ?. today was a little quieter ( not by much ) but to be honest it was a nice change and made for a chilled day. smiles all round im sure:D:D

ps any one got any vids of todays excitment

Wel done on the win today Col :thumbsup: its been a good series with its moments shall we say!
Thanks to everyone who has setup & run the meetings but it is a shame that no one said something about the decision to change there mind on the championship prizes :thumbdown:

Once Rog sends over the results from today I'll post the final tables. :thumbsup:

Sorry I couldn't have been there today but yesterdays drinking and a heavily pregnant wife indicated a family day. :D

Echo the thoughts from Col and Dodd in relation to prize money (and not just saying that because I finished in the Top 3), it was one of the reasons of offering to help with the points.

Not a bad series although a very political one at times. Hope to be racing there again at some point in the future as it's a fantastic venue.

Really enjoyed the racing today. Track was tricky but fun to drive at the same time. Shame its the last one for a while. Should be at Goshen for first time in ages next week so hope for more of the same there.

Im sure there will be an explanation...:)

Great series, thank you to everyone who helped made a good series! You all know who you are... and thank you for everyone of you who came to race!:thumbsup:

2010/2011 series info will be posted up very soon!

It will be bigger and better :thumbsup:

What a flaming JOKE. It was Woody who told me about the prize money towards the end of last week.. :thumbdown:

Id like an explanation, the committee have PLENTY to say, why no explanation now?

Is this a repel members sort of aim they're working towards? it'll work! :mad:

Beats me. I'm (now) on the committee but knew nothing about this.
Well actually that's not strictly true because I can hazard a guess at why the prize money is no longer available, but I'm afraid I can't say. What I can say is that if I'm right it will be much bigger than 9 people getting a few quid.
Bear in mind that prize money racing only attracts those with a realistic chance of winning:) so means little to the rest of us.
Also remember that Woody won the 4wd series, so he's one of the people not getting £100!

Good series
 

Enjoyed the indoor season had a laugh. so thanks roger and stu for the time and effort both put in while sat at that computer for a ten hour shift.

No prizes don't know what's gone on there I'm choked for you all !

I wouldn`t go this year for my personal objectionable reasons, but if Nick has sorted the dates out and Batley are running the show then count me in for,

Si.

Me too!! :thumbsup: A good example of attracting new members, racers and increased attendance rather than repelling them.

I cant believe you all again! Nobody has even asked me about this apart from Col. As I said to him we did the kits instead as we cant afford both. Sorry for upsetting you all but dont worry as it was our last time I will be running it.
P.s Most of you that did win were sponsored drivers anyway! Is that fair I ask you or is it a good idea to help out others?

If you advertise prizes as you did, and as you stated on my Facebook, then is it fair to retract that right at the end of the season.

Sponsorred or not, it makes no difference. money has the same value you fool. :mad::mad:

same here :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Who Said ????
 

What a nice thing to read after the weekend..........
After some investigation discover Stu had been talking and got things messed up. There is no profit for the club if we give out prizes and prize money is what was said. It does Not mean we wont be giving out series prizes.
It's a pity you lot don't have the patients for me to send Jonsey the results for him to work out the series results and publish the winners.

Did you take the trouble to ask any of the committee before you opened your big gob...............................not that I expected anything else from you.
