I can today confirm the final results of the voting concerning the final round of this years championship.
The Voting was equally shared between Colchester and Boughton, with a few votes for other venues. With this in mind I have spoken to the Colchester crew with concerns raised by many of you over the state of the track and rostrum. They have assured me that work has started on the track, with the grass being cut, the track being moved to avoid any unsuitable areas, I believe the double jumps have been also been removed. A carpenter is also penciled in to extend the rostrum. With all this in mind I believe we should look forward to the last round and aproach it with a positive attitude.
I look forward to seeing you all there and thanks for the many resposnes and comments with regards to the voting

Not surprised if they havnt been able to do anything as the track was probably under water with all the rain we have had.

Wednesday is their mid week club night, so I reckon that'll be the final touches day.

I am looking to pop along to have a look and offer a hand - anyone else in the area?

Why is it the negative responses always come from Norfolk;)

It'll be wet, muddy, bumpy, windy, our buggies will probably fall apart & we'll be squabbling like children on the rostrum:woot:

I live in Essex but I'm writing this in Suffolk so hopefully that evens it up a bit - all in the interests of regional diplomacy:p

No negativity here, I am just curious as to what is going to be different, amended, removed, added in and changed. It's no secret that the regional rep has been in discussion with the club and am just after a heads up before I do the 200mile round trip on Sunday.

Me to, i heard a rumour that it isn't done yet.

Dont know where you heard that,but it wasnt a reliable source as i spent 5 hours cutting grass and rearranging the layout last Wednesday.A couple of the mercc boys even threw their sct's round it.I shouldnt bother listening to them again:mad:
We may be a mainly on road club but we have never let anyone down in the 22 years i've been involved with the club and we dont intend on starting now!I'm sure there are plenty that read this who will confirm.

The rostrum extension will be finished tomorrow and the grass trimmed again(Weather permitting).

Jon,you better fill up with petrol for your 200 mile trip:thumbsup: It could be worse,we travelled 1150 mile round trip to Stonehaven last year for a 1/10th I.C. National and it rained all weekend:thumbdown:

See you all sunday
Paul.

Hmmm I know that feeling when I used to do the national merry go round, nothing worse than travelling 1000+miles for a weekend of being rained on!!
Cars all filled up, thanks to morrisons for my 6p off a litre voucher :thumbsup:

Looking forward to coming down as you always run a well organised meeting.


See you Sunday

I didn't think my post was negative and, it was factually correct. I am praying along with everybody else that we will finally get a full dry meeting.

The rostrum has been extended. Now 25% longer. The track was all done when i turned up with the extra rostrum bits. There is a different layout. A lot more flowing and open. Good looking layout. Will be pretty quick. The track was also the least water logged part of the field and dried up very quickly once the sun came out.

Agreed, very well run meeting as always, and a huge imrovement in the track since last time:thumbsup:

Big thanks and well done to Colin for stepping up as rep part way through the season, and making it look like he'd been there all year:)

George me old mate, please do a different class to me next year, I'm getting too old for all of this coming down to last corner of last race of last meeting stuff:woot:

A HUGE thanks from me to Mick Spindley for being gentle with me in the finals, Top Bloke:thumbsup:

Doesn't it seem weird to say roll on next year while only halfway through July?:o

Firstly well done and congratulations to all our champions, 4wd - George Fairweather and John Myall, 2wd - Johnathon Brown, and er S/C -George Fairweather.
Secondly to all the Colchester crew for laying on a well run meeting after the early morning gremlins had struck.
Thirdly to all the drivers for turning up and supporting the series throughout the year...and last but by no means least, to mother nature for letting us run the last meeting without washing it out!!!
I will get the final tables posted on the BRCA site Tuesday, came to work and left the results at home, Doh'.

Well done to John,George and Jon on their series wins:thumbsup:.
Big hand clap to all the boys at the Colchester club:thumbsup:.
Shame it took me till the last round to ditch the fs2 for the v3 (cheers on your advice Mr Myall).
Enjoyed our close racing in the finals mate,i was good but not good enough.Maybe next year:).
Mr Hubbard should have the twelve generation of the xray buggy by then:thumbsup:.
And if George stays with the losi.It should be Durango domination?:)

You only have to wonder how the year had gone if you'd got a 410 at the start of the year:o

You and Barry have proved the 410 is by far the best choice of car during the last 2 regionals, both shooting straight up to the sharp end:thumbsup:

Next year should be epic:woot:

I must admit I am very happy with the Durango after only two meetings. I feel like I can really push the car, and it's the first time I've out qualified Barry for, well as long as I can remember. I was enjoying the A final and having a good run, 4th at one stage I think until I got hit stripping the servo horn, but that's racing. Now looking forward to the Boughton Summer series round 2 this Sunday. See you all there??

Great finish to the season. Big thanks to those that stepped up because it took ALL of these peeps to get my result - Myally, Spindles, Wrongy, Chester, Colin and George. (most importantly Myally:thumbsup:)

Well done to driver of the day - 'balls-out' Spindles. Superb!

Big hand to everyone involved with running, contributing hosting and supporting.

Looking forward to next season when X-Ray realise what there team is missing and sign me up to spank you Durango sheep. Until then I'll just pull on that woolly jumper.

Other thanks go to, George's glue, Chester's pliers, Heron's dremel, Dufton's drive shaft, John's Gazebo, Roper's rings. (sound like euphemisms )

And get that hotshot ready for some :thumbsup:track action!

Have you ever driven a xx4/ owned one? I wouldn't be so sure.

Great meeting with some good close racing and a good track layout. Well Done to the Title Winners.

Will be at Boughton Rnd2 with 2 and 4wd, Woo Hoo sunshine please......

16-07-2012, 09:45 PM
Well done to all was a good series shame my gremlins wernt sorted earlier on ..as for card i think a few may have been shocked as george was lapping the xx4 round after the meeting and it was quicker than the 410

JohnM
17-07-2012, 05:56 AM
I still belive the XX4 is very probably the greatest RC car ever made, so I'd say George will be more then capable of winning with one.

The only area I can see that will give us all a chanse against him is it might not be up to taking crashes at the speeds cars are going at now.

I'm sure about one thing,the word BANTER between racers,some people obviously don't know the meaning of the word:).

If george drove a buggy out of "toys r us" he would be in contension:thumbsup:.
