yeah you can just go and watch, there was a fella and his lad down to watch and to decide what sort of racing would appeal to them electric, nitro etc.. they seemed impressed and I cant blame them.

shame you couldnt come, just had my flu jab tonight to prevent any mean things stopping me!
is the nook good for some of this truggy business then lads ? I haven't been for a long time and it dint ever look that amazing because of the distinct lack of jumps etc.

theres a couple of jumps but nothing major,the good thing is the car stays clean

we have a flat out jump thats pretty good and you can get a fair distance on it...and were now running the other direction,if we can get a bit more materials im trying to get a tabletop in and maybe another jump but it has to be friendly enough for everyone.

hope that flu has gone mr lee !!

yeah finished 2nd..i was leading with about 4 mins to go then 2 backmarkers wiped me out..65 second lap i had so that buggerd me up but 2nd was ok.

bruce had an engine cut(loose carb on his go engine i think).
