Yeah - echo that.

I didn't hear a negative comment about anything connected with the track or venue all day - only good.

Lots of hard work went into that from Roger & Stu - and it showed. It was nice to be able to help a little.

We should get some good pics from Pete leter - I know he got some decent stuff.

Erm, nope, got about two useable shots after winding up to ISO2200, might have tried more pics if I didn't keep crashing and breaking my tired old car like a BQ bod!

No real complaints heard here either, a few lessons were learnt and I'm sure more ideas will be forthcoming, but a great effort for the first meeting at a new venue.

Well done to Roger, Stu, Nic and everyone else who got their hands dirty and thanks to the racers for showing up and supporting the club.

Hi guy's. A VERY BIG Thanks for everybody that turned up today. It was FANTASTIC. A big thanks to Nick Caro for all the help over the last few weeks. Also I would like to thank Stu Hurley, Mike Bradbury, Pete Byrom, Stu Evans and Mike Pimlot for helping with the track yesterday.

The venue is ACE and would love to keep it so thats very much for following the rules. Some tricky parts and easy parts of the track and as far as brakages all i heard of was when people crashed and went off track.

Another big thanks to Dad for running a great meeting also. A few spots of panic but you did very well.

All I can ask is if you could all come next time and now we know what we can do and use I think it will be much better. Remember this was the first indoor meeting we have ran so I think it went really well.

Thanks again and see you all soon.

P.s. If I did forget to thank anyone I am very sorry as my head was thinking at 100 miles an hour.

One word 'CLASS'

Really enjoyed it jumps were excellent and do-able but at the same time could catch you out. Will definately be a regular if this carries on. Hope to improve and has made me enjoy indoors again.

The track surface was excellent, in 4WD I used worn yellow mini spikes and worn grp's and they gave good consistent grip, never felt the need to go to mini pins.

The racing was good and ran to schedule and I did'nt have to get up at the crack of dawn to go racing

Just seen the GP on Sky+, I now have a dicky ticker G!!!

About time a British racer got the luck EH!

Nice one Lewis!

Made this one, but can't make next one, work

Going to check out next years dates to see if I can get there again.

Probably could have made bottom A 2wd if I could have doubled one of the quads but I couldn't . Just they seemed to inconsistent. Even caught out some of the gods in both A finals. I was probably losing 1 to 2 seconds through that bit. Moan over.

Other than the above had a good days racing on a track surface that stayed consistent
