Yesterday's racing 26/5

[budfish]

I really enjoyed yesterday's racing only did 3 rounds due to me having baby buds in tow.
Plenty of new faces and lots of old faces but all with one thing in mind and that's fun.

Favorate quote of the day" MARSHALL MARSHALL yes you the one that's texting can you turn my car over"

If that was at any other club the texting Marshall would be hung drawn and quartered


Buds

[Cremegg]

Haha that was well funny

It Was a facepalm moment

Was it the guy who marshalling near the humps?

[johnnygibbon]

good day , we even had sun
not my favorite track so far but thanks to who helped set up and pack away , and im sure some people loved it , the track is that adaptable it constantly evolves
im gonna try and design a fast flowing track for next time, wide track full size quads so they can be jumped ,and a diagonal straight , and hopefully rob mills will be there to help get the technical but fun bits in it to,
any way cheers for a decent day out , back soon i hope

That was funny

My favourite was" Marshall don't stand there just staring at it with that stupid look, check the wires are not loose"

Thanks for help with car johnny,

As a total newby, I enjoyed the track.

Nope i got a good 12 lapper in, was about 5 secs behind him when the incident happened. He was driving very well however!

[Gavin Collingwood]

But you finished a lap back?

[losichris]

nope, about 8 seconds

[budfish]

Your all crap give me few meetings to get tuned in and ill be beating you all like dawgs

[Gavin Collingwood]

Turned up, FTQ, went home.... Athankyou.

To be fair the marshalling is totaly crap people smoking or texting or just a one handed flip instead of a dedicated 2 handed turn over at a decent pace is the bare minimum even at club level you should expect. What I saw was way short having to shout a Marshall who is still thinking about what he was doing last night to turn over your car when you go from 2nd to 9th takes the p*ss if you don't put in the effort how can you expect anyone else to do!!

Rant over

Totally agree buds, and I think small kids should be supervised/ assisted by their parent who brings them.
This would; A - ensure the standard of marshalling is better
B - show the child how to Marshall properly so they can learn.
Also anyone seen using their phones while marshalling should have their best time taken away/10 seconds taken off it. Same goes for not being at their Marshall point at the start of the race.
Obviously yesterday was a more relaxed day but at club champs ect these should definitely be implemented rather than idle threats. Coz at the moment that's all they are, idle threats.
The moment you start taking 10 seconds off or even removing their best time, they won't do it again.

Don't remember saying I was a lap ahead all day Gav, I said I missed a 13 lapper by 6 seconds, falling off the tabletop just before the loop knackered that. If I remember I was 12.306 and Donelly 12.323. I had a good race with Alan Reeves in the final early on, he was lapping very quickly to begin with.

Was a good fun club meeting and excellent weather to cap it off...lets just hope we get the weather for Roger next week.

[Gavin Collingwood]

Oh it's 6 seconds now? You said 1 second the other day...

That sounds about right. But your fall off the tabletop was in round 5 wasnt it? which was both our best runs, think i did 12.314 and yours was 12.303 which would have been a 13 lapper.

Final was a total anticlimax for me, got demoted to the back on lap one and couldnt catch top 2

[Chris Elworthy]

Can't remember exactly, hopefully Birdy will post the results at some point. It was round 4 we put our best runs in. Be interesting to see the final results again as the computer messed up.


Chris

[Gavin Collingwood]

We're still waiting on the last meeting's results, so good luck with that...

[Si Coe]

You do know we have other things to do as well as post up results right Gav?

I sent the championship results but since then the database corruption and reboot means I've got no idea.

I'm working on a solution to the arming time issue. I fixed it in the 4wd final.
