Default Excellent Day.

Just want to thank the Bury lot for an excellent day, Stu and Rog for running it and the usual suspects for designing and setting up yet another stunner of a track. Very rewarding when you get the full lap done smoothly.

Great day from my point of view as well, winning 4wd and 3rd in 2wd

I did think the track was fairly easy with only 9 corners BUT....... it catered for ALL abilities so overall it worked out nicely. It's not often you get 18 laps on an indoor track!! Plus, the majority of the corners stayed in place

It was another example of a great venue being booked out! It's a shame there were some no shows though.

I'll get the series points updated when Rog puts the results on line


PS: Thanks to Stu and Rog for letting me run the Micro around the track before the finals!! That car was quick!!

It was very good for us medium ability drivers - very race-able. I didn't have enough skill to hit the downslope on the big jump every lap, longer down-ramp would have been better for me, but overall I loved the layout.

Definately agree with you there. I'd have defo raced both/either classes if I'd have thought there was a chance of a space.

'No showing' is just rude and timewasting for the organisers. It's about time clubs/organisers either stopped a no show'r from racing at the next meeting or atleast charge them double!!

Again thanks to all for a top day, win in 8th and 3rd in 4wd far better than I expected too! The 511 was awesome again today and not gonna sell my 8th now I've reminded myself how much fun they are!!

Agree with Sleigh about noshows, I turned up for one class and got in 4wd due to no-shows, but other people above me on the reserve list weren't there to take a spot as they quite rightly didn't want to travel not knowing if they'd race. It's just common courtesy for people booked in with a spot in a full meeting to cancel if they aren't going, other people missed out racing because of them today

Thought it was a good racing track today as well, good mix of quick and slow stuff and nice and wide too!

What a top day, loads of good comments about the track maybe the way to move forward and build on that track design to suite all driver abilitys.

Thanks to all the bury lads at the top end for a good laugh through the day.

Shame my 8th scale motor went, would have given daveg and the rest of the 8th lads a run for there money.

Really enjoyed the track and racing today, the meetings seem to get better and better (shame my jumping doesn't!), and the earlier start meant we were all finished at a reasonable time.

Thanks to all involved.
