Benfield Winter series 2014-2015

[paulywally]

Lady's and Gents

Due to the outstanding success of Benfield's first winter series 2013-2014,

which brought together Local drivers, drivers from as far as Scotland and south Yorkshire, and gave new young driver's ( the super stars of the future) and driver's returning to the sport the opportunity to get involved and really enjoy and experience a local club level competition.

we have Been asked if we are running another series this year.


The club is looking to gauge interest from driver to see what interest there is again this year to run anther winter series, starting in October through to February.

Please contact us and let us know if you would like to support the series,
if there is enough interest we can start the negotiations on the hall and checking / confirming the dates.

Regards
Paul Carr

Seniors; I wasn't paying attention, sorry.

A good day out as always. Thanks to Paul, Mike and the ladies in the kitchen. Will be back for more next month :D

[D4VEB]

Had a great day. Slightly disappointed that the transponder loop wasn't working. Fingers crossed the club will have this sorted for the next round :thumbsup:

[K-Brewer]

it will be fixed for the next round, just want to say a big thank you to Mike West an his fast fingers for manually counting the laps :thumbsup:

[Mike West]

Old Skool lap counting. Next time we might do tele-counters and individual stop watches.

Hopefully it didn't spoil anyone's enjoyment and we think we know the problem so it will be sorted for the next round and I might get a change to race.

See you all at the next round

[Donutt]

Big congrats to Mike and Paul and the Benfield Club for a great days racing.

So the AMB gave you guys a headache - that's not your fault and not anything we should moan about - sometimes stuff breaks.

What was brilliant, was how you coped! Meeting run, problem overcome with hard work and sacrifice. Plus an extra round of qualifying to boot!

It's not the crap that life throws at you that define you - its how you deal with it!

Well done lads, best meeting yet. You might not feel it yet, but it could have been a disaster, and while it might have been the toughest you've done in a while, it was a triumph to get to the end and get it done. :thumbsup:

[paulainscow]

Sadly I couldnt make yesterday, but managed to pop by for 15 mins before work (my first time even in Benfield) and I must say I was hugely impressed!

See you guys on a Friday very soon!

[FrogPrince82]

+1 - Couldn't have put it better, my Dad popped down to watch too for the first time ever and was massively impressed with it all :thumbsup:

Yes 10 in 2wd, split into two rounds and two finals, Mia winning her final (I forgot about that). Only 3 in 4wd.

[paulywally]

Good morning Lady's and Gents

after many hours checking through the lap top and AMB set up I think I have ironed out the bugs witch caused the unforeseen problems at the weekend. Unfortunately computers and software glitches happen, and are completely out of our control. we all pulled together try and overcome the issue on the day and thanks to Mike West giving up his racing and dedicating his nimble fingers to do old skool counting we managed to get an additional round in and all the finals on time.

I hope to have the finals finishing listings up tonight for all to view,
there was some very close racing on Sunday with Jason Knight running a 2wd car in the 4wd heat and leading the way with FTQ just proving how close the 2wd cars are to the 4wd drive car's as there is no or very little advantage on polished gym floor. it’s all down to driver skill and technique.

The track was nice and fast flowing with I felt just the right combination of jumps and bumps for the track to make it challenging for the new young driver's ( the super stars of the future) and at the same time interesting and challenging for the senior drivers,

I received a lot of good positive comments from visitor’s to the club and the visiting senior drivers on how well the juniors are developing and improving each round of the series. Who all once again have shown how much they have improved and are enjoying the fantastic hobby. which makes all the hard work time and effort well worth it and vary rewording.

as you are aware we have an amateur photographer who is supporting us and took a lot of photos during the day, please have a look at the link's below,

on a final note: Thank you for supporting a local club supporting local drivers see you all at Round 2 - November Sunday 23rd 2014,
Please book in as early as possible as we are attracting a lot of interest from drivers outside of the region who would like to come and join us
