EOS F2's & 345's Predictions

[Wraggy]

thought i would start the Thread off as its only a couple of weeks away to see who people predict to do well ..
i will add mine later when ive seen a few from you lot :woot:

[ben]

James helliwell for wins at the F2's and F345's:thumbsup:.to be continued......

[Lee]

James for me too, he has already won a regional there this year ;)

[jim76]

Mathew Latham, Kitt Jones, Andy Carter, Lloyd Storey, or Mr Helliwell. Lot's of poeple in with a shout.

[Wraggy]

under 16 i think is either Latham or ickle ben
Vets will be DC if he is doing it ??
Top F2 i think could be between Lloyd Storey or Griff .

And top F345 not sure who is doing it but Andy Carter could be fav if hes entered it ..

[ben]

U13 connor cocker has my vote

[millzy]

F2s Mathew Latham if hes not tied down with juniors or Andy Griff

F3s 2wd Wraggy and Ben, Wraggy with his Euro experiance should help him
Ben has won a regional, ok a 4wd one but hes still runnig well in 2wd this year
F3s 4wd has to be Ian southwell or Dave Belston for me.
Southwell did amazing last year and had been pushing the xx4 like crazy and gving its at the same venue as last year his car will be good
Belston has won the f3s befor i belive and is shit hot when its all going good for him

[_sleigh_]

I think the Mid-West have a good chance at the F2's... A certain Tony Bishop should be there or thereabouts in both classes.

[RSharpy]

My moneys on Nathan Warters for the double at both events..... No pressure Nathan :woot::woot::woot:

[Kopite]

I think the Mid-West have a good chance at the F2's... A certain Tony Bishop should be there or thereabouts in both classes.


good shout! I'll pass my trophies straight to him then (no pressure):thumbsup:

[millzy]

mid west ego kicks in as usual with the f2s and f3s

[Lee]

mid west ego kicks in as usual with the f2s and f3s

Who is Ego?

Is he fast, but not as fast as Stan :D

[millzy]

mid west ego is allways the fastest
apparently

[Wraggy]

good shout! I'll pass my trophies straight to him then (no pressure):thumbsup:
Trophies ??? you only won 1 at the F2's :woot::woot:

[RLGfx]

[Kopite]

Trophies ??? you only won 1 at the F2's :woot::woot:

ah crap :cry:

[Wraggy]

and two at the f3,4,5s too...
yeah i know but Phils Message was only relating to F2's as i thinkTony was F1 last year so wont be in the 345's

[ashleyb4]

I think the Mid-West have a good chance at the F2's... A certain Tony Bishop should be there or thereabouts in both classes.

I didnt think of tony midwest for f2's go bish!!! I think Craig Jones Has a good shot at the f3's after his performance at the weekend.

A

[ben]

Are you going to the F345's ash?

[niggs98]

i reacon it will be a very close run thing between andy carter and nathan walters, with griff or paul sykes (as he is using my pred:woot:) there to pick up the pieces. matty, greg or chriss brooke to do the juniours and dc or alex springer to do the vets

[mw02veg]

well my 2 pence worth im backing 3 horses david orbell hes been well up there with the top f2's at national lvl same as david poulter (plus hes running my yok again u all know wot happened last year:thumbsup:) and a certain member of team essex the one the only andy carter!! With the e-speed back up team im fairly sure he will be well in the mix!!!

[Yardeeee]

GO BISH!!!!

Yardy (proud member of Mid West Ego Squad) :thumbsup:

[millzy]

loving it Tom

[Southwell]

F3s 4wd has to be Ian southwell or Dave Belston for me.
Southwell did amazing last year and had been pushing the xx4 like crazy and gving its at the same venue as last year his car will be good


HA, ive raced about 6 times including nationals this year, even less than last year :o
speed is there but not the consistancy, meh :p

[David Church]

[Vets will be DC if he is doing it ??

yes I am doing them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It may be the only time I make a national A final, or even win 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

[Belsten]

:thumbsup:F2s Mathew Latham if hes not tied down with juniors or Andy Griff

F3s 2wd Wraggy and Ben, Wraggy with his Euro experiance should help him
Ben has won a regional, ok a 4wd one but hes still runnig well in 2wd this year
F3s 4wd has to be Ian southwell or Dave Belston for me.
Southwell did amazing last year and had been pushing the xx4 like crazy and gving its at the same venue as last year his car will be good
Belston has won the f3s befor i belive and is shit hot when its all going good for him

:wub shucks thanks mate, my driving aint anywhere near being that good, yet :D

[chris68nufc]

Not sure if hes going and what preds are like around the track but James Chappell could well be in with a shout from the NE. Hate to admit it but hes doing really well with his new car. I told him n ot to get 1. Will he prove me wrong?

[CharlieF]

Agree with Richard Sharp - Nathan Waters (if Sharpy doesnt do it himself in 2wd) for the BRC and Jack Neal for the Under 13's.

[Mossy]

Big Jones both classes, no questions. Im sure he will be quick with my gear.

[Yardeeee]

Yeah, here's another 1 for ya Mills...

GO JONES!!!

If he drives as well as he has done the last few months he'll be in with a shout no matter what gear he's usin'!

Yardy (Still a proud member of the Mid West Ego Squad) :thumbsup:

[James]

Yardy (Still a proud member of the Mid West Ego Squad) :thumbsup:


Jones is racing?

...then it's a foregone conclusion, Jones for the win

Mid-West Wezzie Destiny and Elite crew!!!! :thumbsup::drool:

[ben]

North east domination :)

[Jonesy]

Jones is racing?

...then it's a foregone conclusion, Jones for the win

Mid-West Wezzie Destiny and Elite crew!!!! :thumbsup::drool:


If I do win Stan then you can drive me through the Wezzie in a Corsa with a Sun Roof so I can show of the trophies and then we can end up in D&E and Tony Parr can show us the delights of an older lady!!

PS : Anyone who does not know Ellesmere Port will not get any of the above!

[Jonesy]

Yeah, here's another 1 for ya Mills...

GO JONES!!!

If he drives as well as he has done the last few months he'll be in with a shout no matter what gear he's usin'!

Yardy (Still a proud member of the Mid West Ego Squad) :thumbsup:

Thanks for the sentiments mate and I thank Moss for lending me the gear as well.

I think the Mid West have a strong chance at this year's F2s. I'm there, Tony Bish, James Evans, Tony Parr, Preddy, Stuart Harlow (not sure if he's going due to 1/18th nationals), Griff but as it all comes down to the day.

I think alot will depend on local knowledge of the track as well but hopefully we can get it right early on and see what happens. It will also depend on any 'randoms' who may not have raced for a munber of years

[MattW]

I'm sure the mid east crew will be ready and waiting:p it's a novel change to have any big meetings on our turf so to speak :thumbsup:

[bigred5765]

Matty's doing the Juniors, so no f2's this year.

[dbizzle5]

My monies on Nathan or James for definate. Nathans local track!;) In fact I can see a few from the mid east making the A.:thumbsup:

[Jonesy]

Gaz Stanton will be a factor as well as I now believe he'll be there, the Mid West are looking stronger!

[ben]

Lee farrer and northy could make it into the A main :thumbsup:

[matdodd]

Jones for the win :thumbsup:
You know you can do it big man!

[andy reeves]

Think both the BRC and F3's are going to be very close. There are going to be number of drivers that are capable of making the A in both. And think there might be some drivers that are going to be disapointed at just missing out.

But have to say go MID WEST :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[GRIFF55]

the way Jonsey has been going of late, i wouldn't bet against him!:thumbsup:

[Kopite]

If I do win Stan then you can drive me through the Wezzie in a Corsa with a Sun Roof


You do realise doing that gets you instantly pregnant?

[Lee]

Its like the X-Factor here, everyone competing seems to have a mentor :wtf:

I dont :cry:

[millzy]

I swear the mid west hire drivers for the f2s and f3s:):)

bloody Mid west Ego Squad

:):)

[Wraggy]

I dont :cry:
its ok i dont think i will either.:(

[millzy]

There is normaly some for hire on the day

[Wraggy]

There is normaly some for hire on the day
well Pidge said he will be @ the F2's for me(when i asked him that wass lol) but cant do F345's as hes away, but knowing pidge and his busy lifestyle he may not be there :(.

[millzy]

f2s are just to far for me to come and race let alone race

im sure you will do fine Wrag

[Southwell]

you coming to f3's then punk?

[Jonesy]

You do realise doing that gets you instantly pregnant?

Is that a bad thing?

[millzy]

you coming to f3's then punk?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nope

when the hell are they any way.

[Southwell]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nope

when the hell are they any way.

Why not, u can pit for me again.

umm 13/14th

[millzy]

Same reson i cant do any racing in September--- the Baby is due

If i did it would be the sunday only---lets face it your shit in 2wd so im not waisting my time pitting for a retard with a b4:):)

[Southwell]

Yeah, i wouldnt both with me and 2wd anyway :p

Surely she can drive herself to the hospital? :lol:

[millzy]

yeah she can - but she will Expect me to look after the little un at some point


unless i can get Sarah to do it :)
but then Sarah would rather go racing right now than be stuck in the house

[Southwell]

Pack her off to a nursery lol

[millzy]

who sarah? or the Baby?

Any way see when the baby arrives and go from there, like i said Sunday only if i can.

F3s where good last year I take it its on the same grass as last year and not there new 8th track or the astro one? any one know

[Jonesy]

It's on the grass track mate, same as last year

[Southwell]

Both lol.

Im glad about the track, wasn't going to look forward to the astro one if it was that one.

[millzy]

Nice one Jonesy. you going to the f3s as well or just the f2s?

South,,,if it was the Astro id be staying home baby or not

[Jonesy]

The Astro track is good nowadays mate, had a cracking regional on there the other week!! The grass track will be better though!!

At the moment the plan is to be at the F3 weekend as well, taking both wife and baby with me and getting drunk..... :drool:

[millzy]

but not racing ?

I dont hate the Astor track but its the random jump on the straight and the doubble that i think would be crap for the f3s

[GRIFF55]

well Pidge said he will be @ the F2's for me(when i asked him that wass lol) but cant do F345's as hes away, but knowing pidge and his busy lifestyle he may not be there :(.

Don't worry wraggy, I'll pit for you at the f2's in between drinking:thumbsup:

[Wraggy]

Don't worry wraggy, I'll pit for you at the f2's in between drinking:thumbsup:
are you not driving then ??? or are you to good for us now !!!! :woot:

[GRIFF55]

are you not driving then ??? or are you to good for us now !!!! :woot:

Too good, i wish!! I'll be there, always willing to lend a hand, driving or not:thumbsup:. best not have too much westons cider mind, you know what i was like the last time:woot:

[ashleyb4]

Same reson i cant do any racing in September--- the Baby is due



Didnt know that congrats Millzy and Mrs millzy

A

[chrispattinson]

I can only judge the NE region, as I don't do nationals, but my money is on James Chappell for an A final place, along with Northy, Whittle and Arslan - though I'll do my best to push them all the way.

[niggs98]

forgot about the n/e sleeper, will arslaan be coming to play then ???????? would be good to see him behind the sticks again rather than swinging that over sized fly swat about :woot::woot:

[Yardeeee]

He uses a wheel actually Niggs... but I see your point! :p

GO ARSLAAN!

Yardy (proud member of Mid west ego and yet willing to back some other regions clearly, crew) :thumbsup:

[bert digler]

cheers tom :p:thumbsup:

[wacattack]

Whats the address of the club?

[Mike Hudson]

Eastrax is located just of the A17 between King's Lynn and Sutton bridge with brown government signs on the A17 saying Eastrax to direct you in and the postcode is PE147LB.

[jcb]

The link

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=PE14+7LB&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=52.749957,0.234489&spn=0.010884,0.043001&om=1&iwloc=addr


shows a map of where the track is located. I am pretty sure you can't go down Eastlands Bank from the A17 as it's for emergency vehicles only. You need to go down Station Road, but like Mike has said it's sign posted from the A17 with brown information signs anyway.

[Nick Goodall]

I could have been tempted to do my first race of 2008 but i'm getting married 12th Sept lol :p

The BRC's / Junior & Vets this coming weekend is currently at a full capacity entry. :thumbsup:

However if you know of anyone that has booked in and now can not make it, please instruct them to contact their Regional Rep ASAP to help free up spaces.

I'm sure the organising team would prefer to know now, rather that to have lots of no-shows at the weekend.

[Southwell]

Yeah! Someone drop out, please :)

How many heats of each class is running Phil?? Just making sure I can't make the 'L' Final again this weekend!!!

[Lee]

Is the event full?? :o

[Wraggy]

Is the event full?? :o

erm what do you reckon ??? doesnt take a genius does it ...

[_sleigh_]

How many heats of each class is running Phil?? Just making sure I can't make the 'L' Final again this weekend!!!

Not sure on split of number between heats, as there's four different classes running each day (U13, U16, Vets, BRC). But having spoken to PW last night, he tells me that there are 18 finals. :o

[Lee]

erm what do you reckon ??? doesnt take a genius does it ...


Abused :blush::blush:

I missed that post :cry:

I forgot there was support classes as well :woot:

[bigred5765]

wow 18 finals may be time to split these bad boys up and run on separate days again, and who says off road is going quiet,?

[_sleigh_]

Main reason for the large quantity of finals is the 3 leg'd finals for the U13, U16, BRC.

As for next year, I think the Junior age groups will be very low on numbers. I think PW said there will be something like 6 U13's in the country that are known to be currently racing. NOT GOOD... :(

[Wraggy]

Main reason for the large quantity of finals is the 3 leg'd finals for the U13, U16, BRC.

and vets aswell Phil so there is 12 finals there...

[_sleigh_]

Vet's don't get 3 legs... (Don't set DC Vodka off on this one :eh?:)

[Wraggy]

Vet's don't get 3 legs... (Don't set DC Vodka off on this one :eh?:)

There were at least 5 under 16's and I think 3 of those were under 13 at Coventrys club meeting tonight. So best hold the Juniors at Cov next year:)

Keep an eye out for local drivers Dean Gibbs and Jason Bennett at the F3's.

[rich_cree]

where and when is the EOS finals?????

ta

[James]

This weekend, at Eastrax near holbeach lincolnshire .....

I wouldn't hold out much hope for them, as we can't seem to attract them to local Md-West regionals, so driving further afield to National style events seems unlikely.

Defo agree with the F3 tips. Both Jason and Dean have performed excellently at Mid-West regionals.

[jasonrcb]

The girls will do some if not all the regionals next year along with some of the winter series,so that will be 2 more juniors and with lewis also so dont forget to bring him allen:thumbsup:

certainly agree with you al about dean end of season finals have come at the right time for him so 2wd he is my bet :thumbsup:

[David Church]

DC ill come see ya about vodka:thumbsup:

Jason, Louis will be at the winter series meets & then should be doing most of the regionals next year, Just need a big sign to tell them to calm down when they are racing each other.:).

Phil
None of them were racing 1/10th before May this year, you may see a few at regionals next year.

Surely to get U16 regional and national drivers you must first have U16 club racers? so its a start.

Could you remove me from this weekends event at Eastrax.

you absolute HOMO

[Phil Channon]

Any news on who won today????

[MattW]

Nathan Waters TQ and won. Richard Sharpe 2nd, and I think Nigel Buck was 3rd.

[Mrs oOple]

DC won the Vets, Greg Williams took the under 16 title, and Connor Cocker won Under 13.

[shark]

Well done Rich and Nathan ,great result:thumbsup:

[jimmy]

Was Greg Williams using the Hot Bodies D2 then? Well done everyone! :thumbsup:

[Darren Boyle]

I take it by that last comment that you are not there/could not go Jimmy. Shame I was looking forward to one of your superb write ups during the week somtime.

Could not make it myself either due to commitments and staff holidays at the shop....gutted.

PLeased one of "our" lads (Mid South) made the top three, well done Mr.Buck

[jimmy]

I wanted to go but couldn't afford / justify the petrol down there really, not when I'm not racing and we're trying to save money - going to the F345's all being well though to race & report.

[Darren Boyle]

Good lad look forward to it!!! Cant make that meeting either, and I had dropped to an F4 for this year so could of gone too!!! (Damn family birthdays, how inconsiderate)

I meant to say "Hi" to you at Stotfold, but I was only there for a few hours each afternoon and with so many people coming up and saying hello I just didnt get time to.

It was funny sitting in the tent with Ellis whilst Vicky was doing his interview, a bit like "a fly on the wall" documentry for me. It gave me a few laughs along the way.......:eh?:

It was nice to catch up with all the people that I did meet though and put a few faces to few names I speak to via email or phone regularly (Lee Root for one!! ;) and Ben getting Ellis to autograph his fresh parts box was ace - hope you ebayed it Ben for an extortionate figure :D)

[jimmy]

Ahh, I thought I saw you - yeah I was a bit hard to see at the weekend as I was either crouching at the trackside or on my laptop(s) in the tent - but I fancied doing a proper report for the last National.
I didn't make it to last years f345's since I was in Japan for the Worlds, but I went to it 3 or 4 years in a row before that - last time I went in 2006 I made the A final and it's still the best days racing I've ever had, just to make the A was awesome. The F345's is the best event for me and I was sad to miss it last year.

[ashleyb4]

YAY jimmy coming to the f3's yay ill get to finally race vicky.

A

[jimmy]

lol
I think she's just doing 2WD - I've prepared our B4 today, we're sharing the same car :thumbsup:

[ashleyb4]

yay. how have you done that jimmy as vicky only runs a slow motor but you like a quick car.

A

[jimmy]

Yeah that's a problem, I think at the moment the idea is for vicky to run 5 cells on the same motor, maybe a 12 turn. She uses sticks on 40mhz and I use a steerwheel on 2.4ghz, so it's all a bit tricky haha.

[peetbee]

If only you still had another B4! ;)

[ashleyb4]

I have a my b4 but is been sitting on my shelf for a while.

A

[peetbee]

I have a my b4 but is been sitting on my shelf for a while.

A
Ash, I think I understand you, but I'm not positive!

Jimmy, I wish I'd known before you sent the B4 as you could have used it at the F3's first. Do you want it back to use there?

[jimmy]

haha no mate! don't be daft. apart from the Euros this year, the last time I ran a B4 was uhmmm, sometime early 2007 before the Nationals started. 4WD is my main class, I'll be taking the Durga and 501X which are both ready to go :thumbsup:

[peetbee]

So that's the euros dirt on it then? ;)
No worries, you'd be welcome to.
You could always just remove the front belt and driveshafts!:woot:
Good luck anyway

[dadtc3]

[Mike Hudson]

Got back about 30 mins ago and would like to thank eastrax and all their members involved in making this event happen and the brca for very well held meeting, looking forward to next years :):thumbsup: i can barely walk now was so tiring retiring to my bed now

[_sleigh_]

Anyone know how the Welsh boys got on?

Griff and Belsten?

I think Belston was in the B today.

As for Andy "I'm from the Mid-West" Griffiths, he was in the A today, finishing 8th overall. :thumbsup:

[ashleyb4]

What about tony?

A

[_sleigh_]

Awesome weekend.... Well done Eastrax and all the organising team that helped bring the event together. :thumbsup:


Not to ignore the great driving by everyone in the BRC's class, but in my mind they all over shadowed both days by the driving talents of the Junior classes.

In the Under 13 class we saw Connor Cocker take two well deserved titles, but for me the U13's driver of the weekend was Jack Neal, driving suberb to finish 2nd both days and also TQ today's 4wd event. Even better when you consider he drove his AE B4 both days. Well done Jack..

As for the U16's, this saw two equally impressive drives. 2WD, Greg Williams stormed to TQ & victory using the Nathan Ralls X-6. Today saw the drive of the weekend for me. Ben Jemison, running the Chris Doughty Atomic Carbon car, took a clean sweep. 4 round wins and 3 A-Final legs. Not bad, but even better when you consider his qualifying times would have placed him about 3rd overall in the BRC's class and I'm pretty sure his A-Final leg wins would have given his 2009 Schumacher team-mates something to worry about. Congratulations Ben.. :thumbsup:

[Mike Hudson]

Ben was dialled in today with the lend of Doughtys car winning every round TQ'd and winning all three legs of the u16 championship with ease, with the times he put in he would have been 4th or 3rd on the grid in the BRC A final i think very well done to him and all others who placed high this weekend

sleigh beat me to it xD

[_sleigh_]

What about tony?

A

Not the best in 2WD, but that goes for all the Mid-West drivers. I think they're school report would say "Must try harder"

As for 4WD, he qualified A9. Not sure where he finished in the overall results, but I know he had 3 unlucky final legs.

[dbizzle5]

Well done to Eastrax for a wicked 2 days of racing and well done to Nathan for winning both classes (as I predicted!:p) Well done to Sharpy for TQ with the Cat SX and well done to the dominating Mid East! 5 drivers in the 2wd A Final and 3 in the 4wd A Final!:woot:

Am just uploading a video of the 3rd leg of the 4wd A final. Will post link when its done.

[jimmy]

Talked to lil Ben on the phone earlier - he's a hero and one to watch that's for sure. :thumbsup:

[Mike Hudson]

The schumacher cars also all looked excellent today on the track as did the pred

[ashleyb4]

I knew i should of come. Useless :p :p:p only kidding go midwest.

A

[Belsten]

I think Belston was in the B today.

As for Andy "I'm from the Mid-West" Griffiths, he was in the A today, finishing 8th overall. :thumbsup:

cheers mate but actually finished C 2 today :thumbsup:

Thanks to all for an excellent 2 days racing, awesome track and organisation

[dbizzle5]

[ben]

Thanks Eastrax for a great weekend. Really enjoyed maself. Thought the tracks were cool. I know its hard with where the features are but maybe there could of been a few more different type's of corners instead of hairpins :cry: Sorry if i sound like im moaning lol.
Also a big thanks for the lend of chris doughty's car for today and all the help and support i got from mick. It felt weird not working on my car haha
Oh and the mid west crew for all the support ya gave me. Your all superstars :thumbsup:

Cheers ben

[GRIFF55]

Thanks to all the weekend, it was fun, even if i did do a spur every run in 2wd:o. Can't believe i got a 3rd in round and didn't make the 'A', what a nob!! Got a better result in 4wd, but the car seemed to lack grip on its roof:woot:. Nice one to all who won, especially the under 13 and 16's:thumbsup:.
Cracking food, camping facilities and BIKES:drool:.
Off to bed now, just got home. Nitey Nite!

A big well done and thanks to Eastrax, the BRCA Officials, Timekeepers and referees Yardy, Phil & Charlie and co wouldn't have wanted your job!, also commentating from DC, Phil and Mr.W.

Congrats to Ben and Greg, Conner, Nathan, DC and all the other A-Finalists, there were some great finals to watch :D

Thanks for the loan of the CAT from grant and mossy for the assistance with it, all the guys who ran them i'm sure will vouch that they are ACE :thumbsup:, none of us had run them before and just look at the results!


PS. Does anyone have a vid of the 1st leg of the A ?

[Southwell]

Well done to all, the organisers did a great job as per usual. Thanks to Mossy and the rest for the pitting space and pink/black sausages.

I had a bod weekend, 2wd was shocking and 4wd was dissapointing. 4th in round 1, then two rounds of rear wheel drive when my hexes went in the front wheels followed by round 4 where i was going 4th overall only for the slipper to self destruct :( Nevermind, F3's here i come! :p

[Wraggy]

Thanks to all the Guys at Eastrax had a fun weekend in many ways :woot:.
dissapointed with both my days racing but the competition was very high and proved very difficult to get in a good final ..
sunday proved a little more challenging for me, practice was so funny as i dont think i could get within 3 foot of any corner due to me being still drunk i think .(still it was amusing for alot of people anyway) lol..
think my head cleared around heat 4 :thumbsup:.
well done to all that won expecially Ben (outstanding mate) ..

[Gemma]

haha I didnt even laugh once at you Wraggy!! You drunk!! :)

I just loved seeing how rough you were Sunday morning!

[GRIFF55]

I loved your tools you had for eating on sat wraggy, scalpel burger was a bit scary mind. Wish i'd had a camera:p

[Wraggy]

i think DC had his camera ?? but you should of been there Fri night when i was throwing him into his tent !!!! :woot:

[millzy]

throwing people into there tents!! and i thought you where shy and quiet

[Southwell]

He was very close to jumping on my tent with trish in it lmao.

[millzy]

what is it with your tent and people attacking it at EOS and f3 finals

[Gemma]

Must be a Magnet for drunks!!

[Gnarly Old Dog]

Ditto everyone else. Well done to Eastrax organisers and the BRCA - great fun and very competitive.
Special thanks to Tom Yardy and Phil Sleigh - outstanding refereeing to to get 99.99% of your calls bang on - not even the paid premiership refs get it right as often as you guys did.
Great to see many F1s and superstars lending a hand / equipment to the others - Greg Williams was awesome with Niggs X6 but star of the weekend for me was Ben. Yesterday's drive was simply incredible.
Don't want to take anything away from the other winners who also drove fantastic but his was a very special performance.
slightly saddened by the lack of meerkats at the event - thought you boyz would of been up for the challenge - maybe you felt vulnerable in the flat lands on the fens??

Great to see Ishy again after so many years - nice to know I'm not the only one going grey.

Grest weekend - those that couldn't make it missed a great one (don't want to rub it in too much:p:p)

Looking forward to 2010 already - as a vet maybe:woot:

[Jonesy]

Where to start for the weekend.....

Saturday was a little disapointing from not only my point of view but for all othe Mid West drivers. Myself, Griff (isn't he Welsh?) and Bish all making the B Final and failing....

Saturday night was good though, a 1.5 hours drive with Southwell at the helm and sick Trish in the front seat resulted in a Tesco being found, McDonals being eaten and a Disposable BBQ being set-up on Trishs table when we got back!

Wraggy was hammered when we got back, 3 bottles of wine and no shame when it came to eating Black Sausages with a scalpel, funny as fook mate.

Sunday started off poorly for me as well, leading Heat 10 from Sharpy by about 3 seconds and landed awkwardly off the first table top and sanpped a front wishbone, Sharpy went on to TQ the round as well!

Took a 6th in both Rounds 2 and 3 and drove way to safe in Round 3, both of these rounds could (and should) have been 3rds at the least.

Went out in Round 4 and absolutly hammered the track to take a 3rd, really shows what the CAT could have done all day if I'd attacked! Ended up qualifying 8th with 9 points, 10 point bottomed outt he A Final!

First Leg I got a 3rd after passing Arslan on the second to last hairpin. This was the most pleasing drive of the day as I was 10th after the first corner and had to put passing moves on Bish, Sharpy and Arslan to get to up to 3rd, everyone else seemed to 'fall' out of the way! Plus I had 2 25.5 second laps while I was pushing!

Second leg was carnage and I was running about 5th when the rear diff seized up, finished 9th

Last leg was the most exciting of the day for me, I ended up in a battle for 4th with James Helliwell and passed him on the last corner to beat him in a drag race by 0.02 of a second, watch the clip on YouTube as it shows out last gasp finish! No overall damage done to James as he still came in 3rd and the extar point helped me finish 4th!!

A great day for Schumacher as mentioned earlier with 4 CATs in the top 8 qualifying and all finished in the top 6 overall.

Special Thanks to Mossy for the laon of his gear for the weekend and the fact I had nothing to do other than sit there!

Mentions to Southwell, Trish and Wraggy, great pitting times over the weekend and Southwell if you can drive the F3s like you did yesterday I will be backing you for special things!

PS : Well done Ben, if it wasn't for the 'lady' inspiring you on the Saturday night who knows how well you would have driven on Sunday!! :wub

[RSharpy]

Big thanks and well done to all involved from Eastrax and the BRCA, enjoyed the weekend :thumbsup:

Well done to the fellow mid-east lads who made a A final over the two days, for 5 out of the 6 of us this being our first full seasons racing for several years. Good to see the region doing well and back on the tenth off road map. :thumbsup:

Well done Nathan for doing the double, a true champion! & to Ben, some excellent driving to take the U16's :thumbsup:

The Cat exceeded all my expectations, a truly awesome car! Thanks to Andy, Phil & Matt for there help on the day and well done to all the Schuey lads on their performances with a car that they had never ran before! :thumbsup:

[MickD]

Well Ben I had a great day if you take that super smoooooth drive into

ben

[Lee]

Well, ben and Smooth in the same sentence WOW.

But we all saw a different lil ben yesterday, i think his head just clicked with his thumbs and nobody stood a chance, as Mick kept saying there was nothing special in the car it was just as it was taken off the track at stotfold last week, but ben had the confidence and drove properly and realised that you dont have to thrash it to be quick.

Well done Ben and Mick, i think Mick was just as happy, and im sure Mr Atomic Carbon will have a big smile too :thumbsup:

[Chris Doughty]

I will try and get some pics posted at some stage.

[niggs98]

was an awsome display from ben to simply walk away with the under 16's especially as his times would have been so good in the f2's as well, definatly a star in the making. best you let mick tutor you as much as possible in the future,
im biased for the next one but well done to greg for picking up my car in the 3rd round with a strange transmitter as well and only his out lap for practise and tq'ing the next 2 rounds and taking the first 2 legs, shame about the thermalling in the 3rd leg but i think with how big you were aiming you would of happy slapped matts car rather than over taken it :woot:, good to see conner going so well to do the double and to nathan as well. really enjoyed my weekend there even if i couldnt race and also good to see so many preds there as well ;)

[Greg Williams]

Well done to everyone at Eastrax for a great meeting, hope to come back there soon. The meeting was well ran and the venue was awesome. Also well done to Ben, Connor, Nathan and DC on your wins. Finally a BIG thank you to Nathan Ralls for letting me use your x6 on Saturday and the help over the weekend, I couldn't have won without it.:D
