sports halls are never the best places but i'll do mi best! There are 3 of us going down, me, vicky and john price - all racing in the same class but with random cars. I think john is the only one with a mini-t.

CML were kind enough to lend me one of their FTX Blaze buggys - the same one in fact that won the event last time! not much to live up to then.. haha

Yep, looking forward to it as well, although I haven't seen my little diddy machine for a while, and I don't think it is quite as spangly as yours.
See you there!
Vicky

Just working on the report at the moment - I got some photos and vicky did a big report which I'm editing and adding-to at the moment.
We all had a good time anyway. It was fun to race something a little different and see new faces.

Just want to say a HUGE thanks to Jimmy and Vicky for the AMAZIIING t-shirts and stickers they provided (and cut out ) for todays event!

Hope you both had a good day today, and hope to see you both again at some of the future events?

Yeah, it was a fun day once again.
Well done to all the team that put it on again and laid out an excelent track.
Those little beasts can be tricky to master though.
looking forward to the next one now.

Thanks Cris, We had a great time, the day went so quickly. It was fun racing in a completely new class, although I suprised myself by actually outqualifying people (I am still fairly convinced that was a computer error). I enjoyed driving the mini machine, which although it was challenging I felt to improve throughout the day. The reverse function perplexed me somewhat and I still can't grasp which way I am supposed to steer when reversing. Ahh well, I like the trophy, must be the first time I've won a trophy in a final with more than three people in it!
Big thanks to everyone who participated in organising and running the event.

Yeah thanks Cris! great day.

Vicky was ace - 2nd!!! amazing. She normally goes mental when there are other people to race against, and no matter her qualifying position ends up last. This time she was actually faster than people! insane.

Cant wait to see the pics you took and read the report!

Like I said to Vicky, the pics in your Photo's section have been a great resource for trying to emulate 10th offroad tracks, the Euro's and Batley Indoor to name but afew!

Was a pleasure to meet you both

I love my prediction......

Quote:
oOple.com has some fantastic images taken by Jimmy Storey.
...... as we all know it's going to come true. I'm sure I've got a couple of photos of you racing Vicky, I'll hunt for those tomorrow, I'm sure there's not rush as Jimmy will have some amazing ones.

oOple Airtime:



See you at the Pro Line race

Jimmy/Vicky,

Once you have watermarked the images is there any chance of you emailing me everything you shot yesterday for my own personal consumption?

And, once the oOple review goes up let me know and ill post the link in my forum for you
