Good track, good crowd and no Captain Lip - a perfect day.

Apologies to Stu for hexing his speedo - I told him it was just as well he was using a Tekin and not a Losi Xcelorin cos otherwise we'd need a fire extinguisher just minutes before his RS Pro burst into flames.

And thanks to Matt for lending me his car and thus forcing me to buy a new one instead of driving a collection of antiques.....

It was a cracker
Really good track layout the big long carpet section onto the straight was mint and the matts worked well as a berm and the table top was ace
I reckon you could even make it a bit bigger with no probs
Good turnout and mixture of people to
Nice one
Tempted with a new car to race Si with now as well
And I got a second in the final renewing the battle beetween me and buds
Awsome

The dreaded BLUE SCREEN happened twice today. Lets hope the database wasn't corrupted.

Very Very tight all day! Some of the closest racing I've been in for ages!

Si... You looked well with my car, Not bad for the first time on a new car Get your hands on the DEX210 you WILL love it.

I thought todays track was ace! Loads of features. The flat boards and benches really work well. While we was packing up Rob found loads of crash mats, We may try to build a few into the next track.

Big thanks to everyone who helped setting up the track & packing away! Today was like clockwork!

..... and don't worry about Stu, He doesnt pay for it anyway

Top day racing, good to chat to some of the regulars and hopefully from now on I will be too, paid up member now!!
Yesterday was a quality track layout which I thought was an improvement on the last one, some nice features in there so well done to the track builders
I had some really close battles in all my heats with Justin, the two of us had some great racing we might see some video soon as Justin had a camera mounted on his car
Unfortunately after starting at the front of the b final I then threw it away after a first lap pile up and then trying too hard to catch up resulted in some pretty bad driving
Still not bad for my first day out with a new car and cant wait till next time.

I think I speak for the 4 of us that made the trip over from Yorkshire and a good days racing.... ! You have a really nice large track area and some great idea's, only thing I thought the track was lacking was some more jumps (but that's just me been fussy!).

Sure we will try and make it over for another clubday sometime before you go outdoors ! Oh and we will try bring a few more of the Yorkshire crowd with us too !

We will turn up a little earlier next time and help build the track next time.
