You're an animal James... And the only reason you didn't break the 2WD is that you been a wuss all week end...

And did the triple and megajump with the cat all the way through, only finished 2 races i think but hey, it was still awesome :thumbsup:

[Stu]

I think Lewis wanted the Pred chassi's back to check why they broke. Maybe a 15 foot drop at 25mph was not the cause?

[Wraggy]

as was suprised to see ya with a b44 :wtf::wtf:
suited you though Ben ;):woot:

:lol::lol::lol::lol: lmao. after hearing what nath did when he broke it i think it might of been nearer 20 foot and last minute avoiding what he though was someone on the big jump hence not even caring how it landed as long as it didnt hit anyone....... shame he forgot that latter when he nearly took out his team mate greg :woot::p. in his own words and with hindsight he would of ran a standard plastic non cut chassis as that did take the same punishment 3 times through the event :thumbsup:


2wd

2x wings
1x hingepin block
hingepin

4wd

3x front wishbones
bent hingepin and alloy block that holds it

Must say that after watching some of that video footage I think the jumps were WAY over the top. Very glad I didn't enter now as I really would not have enjoyed the day.

:wtf:

[James]

You choose whether you jump them or not you know :bored:

Richard Hamblin didn't jump any of them all weekend in 4wd and finished 7th for example..

There was an easy option for all the features, you make your own choice !

[Kecky]

The great thing about the jumps, was if you were having a bad run, you could have some real big air fun :thumbsup:

I was watching the racing on sunday and have to disagree with you there.
The track looked awesome to race on. The guys who spent all day thursday on making the track deserve a pint or two for there efforts.

well done worksop crew.:thumbsup:

[Belsten]

I thought the track was cock on. Not easy to get right every lap if you were going for the big air but extremely rewarding when you did. Being the reedy style format too, you could always go for the safe option with no errors which could reward you with a good finishing position in the heat

[Medders]

I had a quick look at the coverage on sunday and thought exactly the same ;)

[Kecky]

I really think if you'd have been there, you would have changed your mind.
The track was really rewarding, but as said before, could also be taken safely without any drama :)

[Lee]

I really think if you'd have been there, you would have changed your mind.



His mind doesn't work like that. One example i can give: He has a pony tail :lol::thumbsup:
