EPR this Sunday

[brookie]

A massive thanks to all involved with yesterdays event and all the kind comments previously listed, trust me, they are all VERY much appreciated, thanks, helps to detract from the extreme exhaustion!

Special thanks to all you drivers that attended, young (good to see several new faces) and old alike, seasoned campaigners and those new to EPR and our Region, here's hoping you'll all continue to support all the clubs in our area.

Special thanks ('cos I forgot to mention it at the presentation, sorry E!) go to Ellis Stafford for the very generous donation of the trophies that we used to present to the 2008 Junior Regional Championship winners.

And to Mike & Grant Williams who have also donated trophies that we'll use throughout the season and at the end of the season.

Big thanks to Jon Peters for his invaluable assistance, guidance and advice through some of the complexities and intricacies that make up the latest version of that well known race timing system!

Thanks to Alan Moon for his help sorting out who's who's in the Junior classes. And to Matt B and Horizon Hobby UK for the donation of Junior prizes.

Thanks to all the drivers that assisted with Refereeing duties, Andy Carter, Dave Church (MCDC skills as well during the day!), Alex B and Tom S (speak up man, they don't bite!), with the wide variety of abilities we have in our region I think this was a great help to all drivers alike, thanks!

Thanks to all the EPR boys in Race Control, Tom S, Alex B and Matt B, getting to grips with the new software little by little whilst using some of the new technology available to the drivers, good stuff.

And lets not forget Roger Brayshaw in Scrutineering, manned the transponder racks all day, all for the price of a cup of tea, cheers Rog!

Apologies if I've missed anybody out but most of all thanks to all that attended!

Next on the calendar is the WKRCC Open Day, next Sunday 26 April, our first chance to practise on grass this year, come and go as you please, £5 for the day!

Then it's Round 1 of the SE 2WD Regional Championship back at EPR the following Sunday 03 May 2009.

Comedy (if not slightly unnerving) moment of the day

Went to Mike Williams for the look on his face when Grant's Lipo pack decided to display it's saftey features... (Uh oh)

You've never seen a pit area clear so fast.

..before it was gingerly flung in the bushes... and then promptly retrieved and placed in Lipo bag .....and then re-lobbed back to where it came... in the bushes

yes, Mike's face was a picture. can't believe how much it puffed up!
