Default sunday

Day went well overall pal...got Mark's car sorted with the spectrum gear in - well at least it worked of a fashion....think he needs a new esc next...

Bennett and Rob got into the B final and had a right battle which was good to watch..

Ty used his old car that chris now owns and beat me

Simon did better i think and obviously enjoyed the position of authority he was given as practise organiser - he was keen eyed and with the help of rob even spotted those that tried to stay on the rosterum for extra practise!!

good day all round

TBH there was someone in my heat who shall remain nameless but I passed 4 times in one heat, I was never overtaken by and yet finished on the same lap as me.
However whilst I could easily have kicked up a fuss I felt it not worth the bother - this was over a place in the D-Final after all. Whats the point of racing if you have to cheat to win?

Actually Dave was going to be our track referee, but decided to race instead.

No track cutting from me. As you can tell by my result and if si beats me next time. I won't bother racing and stick to my other role as brca compliance inspector/ track referee and if I did si would not get past " mr lockleys table" his day will be over by 8.50 am

I totally agree, I was in the D final aswell, and everytime I started to get somewhere I was instantly taken out. Not overly impressed with the driving standard today and this was mirrored by a few more racer on the day. As we all started in good positions in finals only to be rammed off the track or loose a position due to someone taking a quick short cut.

I was in the 4WD D and no track cutting from me either. I did get in a few scrapes in the final though so hope I didn't rub anyone the wrong way.
