I'm pretty sure he was 2nd (poss 3rd) on Saturday in 2wd.

And definitely in the A but I can't remember where abouts in 4wd. Somewhere lower down I think...

[losixxx]

[Wraggy]

was also interesting to see both days won by cars running standard brushed motors!

mmm brushless for me was a nigthmare after having a meltdown in mine doing 2wd :( and jimmy had a problem in his 4wd also.:wtf:

[Chris Doughty]

was also interesting to see both days won by cars running standard brushed motors!

surely not? you saying I was beaten by a 27T stock? :p

[jimmy]

lol
yeah my shaft (ooerr) popped out of the back of the motor can! Just driving along and it killed itself. madness, so I had to borrow one from John Price. I was running a standard LRP Sphere (not competition) and it was great.

[Chrislong]

Schlong is in the E


Nope, try the D for Saturday

[Crash]

yeah i heard the same during the winter series!

the surface is going to be changed to rubber 'chips' for the horses apparently. :wtf:

[emzy]

Gah, silly horses.

[jim76]

yeah i heard the same during the winter series!

the surface is going to be changed to rubber 'chips' for the horses apparently. :wtf:

maybe they can switch to the outdoor track that was used for last years F3's. that track was ace.

has anyone resurrected the BQ hat?!!!!!

[Crash]

suppose so, i race on that track a fair bit during the summer. the hill in the middle is pretty cool isn't it?

the indoor dirt track is unique though and it's going to be a shame if it's lost.

[ryan]

I definetly ain't upset that it is going, i hate it:mad: lol. I have been told that there will be a regional series run on the outdoor track which is great, not sure if it will be in the winter or through out the summer.

i asked about the outdoor track and was told buy the powers at b
a straight no way ?? the tracks to small

[Nick Goodall]

It'd be a shame to not have ONE national on "dirt" - There must be loads of these equestrian centres around the UK though, can't believe nobody else has ever used one for a track?

[Chrislong]

Tivertons indoor track is awesome, there is nothing else like it and its a great shame to be lost. I think the bonus for the club is the last national on it is one of the best surfaces it has ever had (or so I beleive, best I remember) and so it ends on a high.

Chris

[losixxx]

surely not? you saying I was beaten by a 27T stock? :p

yep ;) bet that makes it even worse that your super duper brushless couldnt catch it:D s4 did look awesome though

[strobe]

I did hear over the weekend that the person who owns the Arena wasn't sure what he was going to do with it. Hopefully it will cost too much to put the rubber chips down and leaves it as it is.

[Bathy]

I had super weekend, won my 2wd final (2nd final from last) after some clever under qualifying… tried the same gag in 4wd final (bottom final) only to find that Preddy had the same plan (I'm joking), still I managed 2nd after receiving a ‘stop-go’ penalty.

I manage to do such better times/laps in both my finals, way better than any in qualifying, something I need to sort out soon… it’s when they say “you’re not racing each other just the clock” if the clock was running behind me on the track I’d be doing a lot better. :rolleyes:

Super weekend, good to get away from work and have some fun with lots of nice people and Southwell.

[jimmy]

Well done to Preddy for winning that bottom final - he drove very well and fought a hard battle to take the victory, well deserved. :D

I'm EXACTLY the same. Its rather annoying...

[PaulRotheram]

Somthing similar happened to me on the weekend.. both days in the first qualis i was aiming for the D, then seemed to slow down abit, had another good run but then do my best of the day in the ruddy final.

Thanks to the people who i was racing with both days in the final though, it was really enjoyable, double win for me.. happy days.

[neiloliver]

I had a terrible 2WD weekend. Qualified 9th in the L and came 6th. I was understeering all the time and spent most the time ploughing through the dust :(

Never mind, it will drop this one.

Thanks to those who came up and said they like the TRANSFORMERS shell :)

[andy reeves]

Meeting was another well run meeting so congrats to everyone. I was generally disapointed with how i did this weekend i just couldn'tt seam to get the lap times that i should of really been getting but i learnt a lot about the car and ended up trying a few different set up things that started to move things in sort of the right direction. Hopefully i will be able to get in to another 4 meetings so that this round can be dropped :p

[tyreman]

Well done to Preddy for winning that bottom final - he drove very well and fought a hard battle to take the victory, well deserved. :D

Cheers Jimmy, not bad seeing as I had only managed 9 laps in qualifing by the end of R3. After melting 2 slipper assembly's, and a new brushless motor packing in after 6 laps:rolleyes:

2wd was really good though, Was really please with how the car went all day.

I'll keep the 2wd result and hopefully drop the 4wd one:D

[Stu]

We were all cheering you on, it was really exciting racing.

[Stu]

The hairy poo was ace.
I wanted to bring it home but Damian said 'Not in my ******* car'.

It was a good laugh although he did end up beating me by duping me into ramming that rather nice post on the table top.... Doh!...... I have the inside...yes I'm past...thud.... A##E!

Shame to see the end of Tiv.....Although I won't miss the drive down the M5....

:)

[Wraggy]

Video is done... let me know when you want a link jimmy!

so where is the tiverton link for video ??:wtf:

[Stu]

Top job that Jimmy.

I suspect that about 90% of the people that read and look at that will not have half an idea how much work goes into it.

I'm not gonna say it, but you know what I'm thinking.

[Southwell]

so where is the tiverton link for video ??:wtf:

the flid is changing it again.

I ran ribs all day, they were great on the clean line, put a wheel much off though and I was bummed for about a couple of corners while they un-clogged.

[Body Paint]

Yes.. Thanks for pointing that out Adam.

But I would have had to win the meeting to beat my team mate, I think that would have been a bit of a stretch for me :D

Was fun watching you try and pass TT though :p

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Nice pic of my car on the front page of the review Stu, good job as usual by both you and Jimmy just waiting for the vid by Bathy.

[jimmy]

Bathys video is added to the report now - and happy to say we'll have the great video master featured on all the national reports from now on. Next we have to figure out a way to link up all his viddies on here on a page.

[Southwell]

Woo, listen to that baby roar at the end, 6 turn powah!!

[Bathy]

we'll have the great video master featured on all the national reports from now on.

Who's doing the others from now on? :D

[jimmy]

:D:D:D:D

[rich_cree]

awesome job again, the musics ace!

[Chrislong]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQvX6noDGXE

Looking also at 2006 video, the track was heaps better for 2007.

[jimmy]

Yeah it was loads better in terms of the surface. I just wish it had more features.

[telboy]

wot vid cam do you use for the vids?

and wot software do you use to edit it?

[Ron Burgundy]

Do they run a control tire? silly question but im not a local, not even in the same country

[Bathy]

wot vid cam do you use for the vids?

and wot software do you use to edit it?

In both cases... nothing special!

Camera is a Canon Digital Ixus50:

http://pixel.shop.by/pics/items/ixus50.jpg

Video editing is done using Windows Movie Maker which as far as im aware comes free on all PC’s

http://www.am-soft.ru/articles/wmm/wmm_logo.png

Anyone can make them tis well easy, but I like to make out its difficult, they take me ages and that I’m some kinda pro ;)

Hope you like the video, someones pointed out that the music sounds like something from a 'dirty movie', of course I've never seen one so wouldn't know!

Tune is: You Wish - Nightmares on Wax - In a space outta sound (album)

[TRF_Tastic]

Bathy, very cool dude. Loving the mellow grooves to go with it.

[Lee Martin]

ace bathy!!

love that tune!!!

look at my Aero shining!!!

[millzy]

[Lee Martin]

Loving My LeeOtard aswell jimmy!

[bigred5765]

whos the two nutters screaming round the tarmac track at the end, lol
awsome job on the vid were can it be downloaded from please

[emzy]

That would be Mr Southwell...

Although I saw Cree, Doughty, Millzy, Paul Rotheram, Wraggy all bombing round there too...

[Lee Martin]

[Wraggy]

whos the two nutters screaming round the tarmac track at the end, lol
awsome job on the vid were can it be downloaded from please

thats was fun!!! although i did end up snapping a wishbone on the only tyre around the track :( it did take me longer to break mine then the 3 seconds chris had on the track before he snapped his :p .....

cree was just a mad man going round !! :D

[millzy]

Cree was the drift king, just abusing his tyres.

Southwells b4( white n green with the pink borrowrd rear wing) had a 6 in it, it was carzy fast, you just couldnt get around the sweeper becuase of the speed you reatched the bend at.

[_sleigh_]

That track's ace for tyre abuse. I remember the Euro's when I ran my Pred round until the fronts blew out and it was just left running on inserts. :rolleyes:

Cracking video Bathy. :cool:

[millzy]

So gutted i never did the euros when they where in the uk last.

im shocked your crown wheel didnt blow on the P8 befor the tyres.

Blah... never ever had a gear issue with my Pred, and you know the way I drive :D

[millzy]

i think that at the york indoor finals where my p8 took out a bentch ( the car was that quick that of a jump i took a leg clean off an unside down gym bentch and only broke a wishbone) that you told H about the tape and grub screw trick to stop the bearings moving and i never had issues with crown wheels after that meeting
