Ace stuff stu, I really enjoyed the meeting - it was ACE. my lips are really dry and cracked from all the cold weather and hurt tho Just uploading the gallery from today & then i'll add some more interviews and stuff tomorrow when I get chance. I'm happy with the report we did considering it was all more or less live - and thanks Jason for letting me nick that wireless broadband dongle thing all the time, without it I would have really struggled to keep up my enthusiasm especially on the finals day where I was updating the A final whilst it was still running anyway, ace meeting, and yeah Jammin Jay Halsey was (is) the best! awesome guy!

That was Nick Damen and his crew from RC Racing TV. It usually airs on Motors TV.

Jimmy and Oople Crew - great coverage over the weekend, much appreciated.

No doubt the biggest race meeting, even bigger than the World Championships in my view -the final was awesome to watch and a shame that three top brits had mechanical issues keeping them out of the top places.

Just AWESOME!

It was the maddest race meeting I have ever done, but I loved it all!

Jim and me ended up being a good team for pit stops, so I think we were in the pit lane more than anywhere else all weekend, pitting for Bradders, Tom, James etc... That place is like a bear pit!

Before I went, I just wanted to get through to the finals on the last day, and would have loved to get into the top 100, so 93rd will do me, well happy with that I was on for another bump up at one point I think (running 3rd in the 32nd's from 14th on the grid) but some spurious driving from others stopped that Not sure I could have handled another 20 mins anyway

Thanks to everyone who help me over the weekend (Jim, Dave, Tom, Jimmy, Vicky, James, Stu, Lion-o, Son of Lion-O to name just a few.....).

Got to meet some really cool people, and catch up with some old friends too.

And, just one more thing, Jammin Jay Halsey is THE MAN

Bring on 09

are first ever neo
have to agree with what everyone els has said
what a ace meeting,loads of fun, loads of hassle, but more than worth the effort,
would love to do the next, and the next after that, lol
thanks to Stu,Northy tom,and anyone else that helped,
O a big thank to Northy's wheel nut that let Matty continue in his final without it
we would have been lost,even if it was the wrong thread DUH

Awesome weekend

Track was cool, organisation was really good, ace to see so many foreign drivers come over
Phil and neobuggy team put together an amazing world class event and anyone who's never been i reccommend you go and at least watch the next one if its in the UK (or abroad if your that committed)

The oOple danceteam madness didnt take long to get into full swing with midnight raids the first night, breakdancing second night and general and easter cream egg and jaffa-cake madness inbetween. . .

Jim and Vickys report is incredible as ever an despite fears it was getting a bit too random at some stages, looking at it today i think its perfect and catches the atmosphere of the event exactly .. Im sure anyone who couldt make it but who's seen it would get a great flavour of what the event was really like..

Great to see new sponsors emerging like piespeed/toe racing/rc-pineapple and fister theyve had amazing coverage and exposure and perhaps it will encourage some of the big boys to assist at the next report , i already hear already that S-M-D will be sponsoring some of oOples future reports


On another note, the mention of an electric guest class for the next neo sounds awesome, count me in .. ! Tom said he'd want to do it too (pesky nitro engines )

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with pitting, feeding, spares, marshaling etcetc you were all awesome; Northy, Jimmy, Vicky, Jim, Tom, Jamie, Matt, Dave and the team
(and thanks to jason for the 2 bearings )

Looking forward to more madness at th indoor finals next week

Was excellent! Just wished I was racing.

Did any one notice the poster for EMMA-RC and the indoor race at Newark showground for November of this year for 1/8 B and T`s? Any more info on it?

Coverage was excellent Jimmy.

I saw you leave the car park at the same time as me and when I got home you had the final write up on there?!!? You do it in the car?

Pete

I then realised it was like trying to teach granny to suck eggs, and all he was ever going to do was just throw the car into every corner and deal with what it did once it happened!

Thats what he does best, i also think its ace, when he is mid crash, when he just gives it max throttle just in case it lands on its wheels

http://rctopnews.net have a cool report on their page from the neo08


sadly they wholesale ripped off mine because they are wankers and incapable of creative original content - oh and didn't even put a LINK to me (they put it in text but not a link) what a set of ponys.

Tell you what, I'll sit in a cold barn for 4 days killing myself to make some nice report - and MAYBE just maybe the google adverts will pay for just my hosting fees (60ukp a month). Not if people like rctopnews get their way.

I don't mind people making news with my content, as long as they are original and it links to my site. but ripping the entire report to sell your own advertising is just wrong.

rc-mushroom are the company behind this news site, so I contacted them about it - they first denied knowlege of the website, but I pointed out they own it.
