wat the highest gregs finished at a national???

trying to make comparisons with the likes of craggy etc......

noone seems to be anywhere near tht talent at the same age yet?

[tc2k]

Ash, how long have you been racing. If youve only been racing 2 years then its hard to be at the same level, some of these lads even though there only 12 or 13 might have been racing since they were 5 or 6 so I wouldnt be too worried. Ive only been doing it 3 years and Im under 19 now, no chance

Last season it was H6 in 2WD @ Kidderminster and H4 in 4WD @ Telford

To be honest, I think Greg's REALLY improved over the Winter! I mean, I beat him at a couple of Nationals last year but Winter regionals.... no chance! He's been making A's and all sorts!

[Lee Martin]

well see this year then.....

comparisons...

neil tqed national at 13.............

bloomer made first A at 13.........

i made first A at 15/16.........

[bigred5765]

i think another thing to consider would be how long these top drivers were racing before they made the a final,pretty sure Neil started at 6-7 years old,
bloomers no idea ,what about you lee how long did it take you to make the a, and how often did u practise

[tc2k]

Also, Id dare say offroad is a lot more popular now that it has been in the past

[Lee Martin]

i started at 12. so 3-4 years. raced on sundays, but midweek only wen i started....so i think i done pretty well....

bloomers has been racing longer than me. he started at 6 i think.

[super__dan]

I'm another vote for Greg, I didn't realise he was as young as 12 until recently spent half a final racing wheel to wheel with him and spoke to his old man after. He also knows what he's talking about which is nice, amazing for someone so young!

[ashleyb4]

Northy and stu tought me that. The reason why i havent been doing to well is becuase i thought i was ready for modified but im not so the modifieds have been put in there box and the 19t comes back out. I have been racing 19t for a year now and im happy to keep using it if it will make me faster.

My vote goes to conner he is fast. He made the B at the supercup. I could only dream of finished in the B of the super cup.

My mistake. When I think about it, I meant regional. That's still two finals up from my best and he's 19years younger than me.... I've only been racing 2 years - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

[nick oliver]

My Vote goes for Conner Cocker!
Don't know how old he is.. 7?!
But i was scared how much he has improved! last time i seen him at Bury!

When I started in '98 Greg was racing so he's been doing it almost 10 years.

My tip is Greg though... this winter since going to the Losi he has improved so much. I think in 2 years time he won't be far off making an A final at national level, hope I don't jinx it in saying that.

In other classes, has to be Adam Walker-Catchpole. Ok he's 18, but he's only been racing 5 years or so, and has already came 2nd in a national A final in 12th circuit - which is a HUGE achievement.

Liam, gregs been racing for 10 years ????? so that would have made him 2 when he started ???? because hes 12 now (I DONT THINK SO)!!!
I know for a fact that Greg Started off road when i did and that was 2half/3 years ago, yes he was racing touring cars when he was 5 or 6 with help from his dad at stearing
so liam my advice to u is think, get your facts right, THEN put somthing on here about some one.

[NeilD]

If we are raising the age range a touch, i think Tom Cockerill will win a national very soon.

[Lee Martin]

tom to win a national???????

he must have improved a hell of alot!

im still searching for a national win

[tc2k]

Itll probably be hard for anyone new to break through and win a national with drivers like Cragg

[NeilD]

Sorry guys i mean't he'd make regular A final appearances, i think the drink had taken over there.
