Good work by the way Jim...!!

updated - buggy-sport.info didn't link it which is slightly strange - so no rallyX boyz would know about it I guess. O well. 229 hits, I think more than that looked at my laptop today! bugger.

I had a crap day, 5 qualifiers and I had trouble on hr first 4, engine cuts, sero horn falling off, wheel falling off... but the last qualifier was fantastic. The jumps are rather amazing - but sadly (look on the report) I am marshalling the BAST jump and almost got hit in the head today, I only saved my life with my arm and recived some cuts. its really a dangerous track to marshall. but driving it is fun.

Right - think we should move on from this housing estate before the police are called. haha

Great report. Very nice photos as usual. I guess your getting to know the dangerous world of 1/8th buggy racing now. It can get crazy, all the tracks in Canada are like that. Not so good when its time for the 1/10th heats!

I am back now, really tired as its been such a long day. my final was terrible, the engine cut 4 times at the start and it really peed me off. after that I had a good final but I was several laps down already by then and couldn't manage a bump-up. The track was awesome and so was my HongNor, after a little help from Jamie Booth the car felt pretty much dialled.
