Micro off road racing at Leighton Buzzard

[frogger]

We had a brilliant day's racing at Leighton Buzzard GP2 yesterday. Did 4 qualifiers and 3 x 7 minute finals (2 best counted). The guys at Leighton put on a great very smooth day's racing up to national standard.

It was a great technical track which for the top guys there resulted in 12 laps over 5 mins in qualifyers.

I managed to qualify on pole position but sadly only managed a 2 - 3 - 2 in the finals so scored 2nd overall. My son (at the ripe old age of 5) managed a 5th place in the C-final beating everyone in the E-final including those below him in the C.

Absolutely amazing day for everyone involved. Great family event and best of all we stayed dry regardless of all the wetness outside :thumbsup:

!!VIDEO HERE!! (http://carlventer.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/lb_gp2.m4v)

That's me on pole running an LRP Shark Monster Pro with Novak's new micro sensored brushless Mongoose 10.5 system and Danny Conway in 2nd running Mongoose 13.5. I obviously ended the video as soon as I lost the lead cause it's just not worth watching after that :lol: :lol: :p

Is that the hall they race in on weeknights too???

[frogger]

I believe so. It's build the track, race the track, break up and store the track kind of thing. It's a school hall so needs to be cleared. I guess we are very VERY lucky at Wycombe for having a permanent track but ours is smaller :yawn:
