i have to admit that it is a very good track layout. i also ran my truck round the track and when the frost melted there was tons of grip. even with nackered tires.

It was Brrr-illiant today!
Great to see such a good turn out.
Track had much more grip than first imagined and it was sooo much fun to drive.

Had a blast today. Thanks to the EPR crew.
It was good to see Andy Shaw after all these years - who knows, maybe we can fill up a heat full of old ex-retired racers soon...

I tell you what, that E-Revo didn't half make the track feel narrow, especially with all the understeer! What an incredible amount of grip for an icy track

Tis true that a number of drivers got to strength test their cars!
Glad my 25yr old piece of Kydex went to a good home - I had been saving it all these years for such an occasion...

The Yokomo was highly impressive for out-of-the-box and first time out.

2WD was good to watch - one mistake from the leader and the second and third drivers were through...

A good entry for the day bearing in mind the cold weather.

Lets hope we can build on this in the run up to the national where we can run stretch the lap times.

Watch out for the adverse camber section getting an airing in Feb though!

I had forgotten to strength test the new car properly in practice so had to do it in the final......amazingly it passed everything I could throw at it..and I did throw a lot at it

Got a phone call from the guiness record book when I got home as they said I had beaten the world record for most crashes ever seen in the last half of a race
