bury metro regional weekend

[dave p hall]

hi all,can anybody confirm if we can camp over on the friday night:confused:

[super__dan]

I can't confirm it but we have done that before. I'll most likely stay on the sat night!

[NeilD]

This reminds me to get a new tent.

[Northy]

Are you actually going to turn up to this one then Neil? :confused:

G

[dave p hall]

i thought you would have one of those big yankee campers lol:D

[NeilD]

Why G did you miss me at the last one???

[LEGEND]

I'm still waiting to see if i could get a lift of someone. Because my dad is currently in the North Sea and i dont think he will be coming home for at least 3 weeks. :( So if anyone is feeling generous, and would like to help a 14 year old out then that would be terrific. But if not I will probably just sit at home, twidling my thumbs thinking of something to do.;)

[matdodd]

When is the regional?

[Stu]

Middle weekend in May, 19th & 20th.

There should be quite a few drivers competing in the 'non-points' class, for practice on the new track features prior to the national no doubt.

There is also a NW regional meeting there the Sunday after, again feel free to come up.

[emzy]

Stupid exams *sulk*

[Col]

There should be quite a few drivers competing in the 'non-points' class, for practice on the new track...

Always assuming there's enough entry space left!! I think this is gonna be the first busy one of the season:)

[Stu]

True.

I think 'watch this space' should be advised.

I'm hoping there will be some non-region space as I've got a sparkling new XX to run.

[PaulRotheram]

how can i book in for this weekend? i cant book in as a guest on the NE site it seems. whos camping saturday? i'm tempted if theres enough.

[bigred5765]

think were bringing the caravan, as long as thats ok,?

[telboy]

my dad is currently in the North Sea and i dont think he will be coming home for at least 3 weeks

yeah 3 weeks sounds about right, its a long swim from there. bloody cold too!:D


Is there room to camp at bury? we won't get invaded in the night or owt like that?:wtf:

that reminds me......ADAM!

dont worry "we will fight them on the beaches" ;)

[telboy]

I'll bring my camoflage just in case!:rolleyes:

:D

[RobHatcliffe]

I don't think there has ever been a problem with the locals at our place before.

One thing to be aware of, is that as far as I know, we're still waiting for a date for water & toilet facilities to be restored by the council after the fire. Mid May was the last estimate I heard - maybe Roger has been given a more accurate idea by now.

[matdodd]

So who do i need to email to enter & is it 2wd on sat?

[footey]

so can we sleep over friday night if not i have to be up silly oclock on saturday morning to travel:)

[super__dan]

This is one of those times where emailing the organisers and not posting on an internet forum is a good idea ;)

http://www.bury-metro-rcc.currantbun.com/

Thats the club website, Rogers email is on there.

[dave p hall]

guess what:confused: ive sent roger an email:p

[matdodd]

Thanks Dan, but is it 2wd on sat?

[PaulRotheram]

roger isnt aware booking in cant be done online, i spoke to him today about it.

[matdodd]

ive emailed roger to bookin, it was the southport site that wouldnt work paul

[matdodd]

oops

[paulc]

Thanks Dan, but is it 2wd on sat?

4wd on the saturday 2wd on sunday

[matdodd]

Thanks Paul

[NeilD]

guess what:confused: ive sent roger an email:p


Dave, can you let me know what he says, cheers mate,

Neil.

[matdodd]

Roger isnt doing the entrys you have to go to http://brca-northeast.net

[dave p hall]

Dave, can you let me know what he says, cheers mate,

Neil.

hi all,i received reply from roger,regarding camping over on the friday night.he doesn't see any reason why not:) but asked me to confirm with stuart,who i haven't a reply from at present.but will let you know what he says;) over and out:wtf:

[NeilD]

Nice one. :)

[LEGEND]

I am still waiting to see if anybody could give me a lift. I'm not to fussed about 4wd. It is mainly 2wd that i am into at the moment. (But I still like to keep up with my 4wd.) So if anybody could help me out then i would be extremely greatful.:)

[Lee]

Mr LEG-END what does your dad do?

If he is on a platform, the latest he can be home is 21 days from the day he lands on the installation?
Its usually 14days max but you can do 21 days with a special dispensation. but this is the absolute max.;)

[LEGEND]

At the moment he is on a barge, which lays pipes in the sea. He is one of the scanner tech's i think. He has to scan all of the welds made to make sure there wont be any leaks. He is currently working 6weeks on and 3weeks off. But he does this i think he will be a week or 2 to late.:(

[Lee]

Get him out to Khazakstan, 4 on 4 off over there!!


Sounds like your knackered mate:(

[jimmy]

I don't know who asked already, but what happens with non-regional people in the North East? I am north west now, but already have my name down for this and other events - should I cancel and resubmit somehow?

:o

[Lee]

I have another similar query jim, are the "foreigners" mixed in with the ones competing for points, or do they have there own heat and final?

[emzy]

I think they're mixed in for heats but have a separate final. I could be wrong on the heats, but DEFINITELY a separate final.

[bigred5765]

emzeh is right. you end up in?


the



OTHERS FINAL
MUHHHHHAAAAAA

[Northy]

Just tell them on the day I think Jimmy when you book in.

G

[Stu]

I had some cheese today, it was nice.

[bigred5765]

my cheese ran of my toast under the grill,

[LEGEND]

What, no crackers. :wtf: You obviously dont know how to eat cheese properly my friend.:rolleyes:

[emzy]

Did it make a burnt cheesy mess on the bottom of the oven/grill?

[Kopite]

Is this a northern thing?:eh?:

[Northy]

I've had cheese too tonight. :cool: :cool:

Might have to start eating blue cheese to go with my X11 :cool: :cool: :D :D

G

[dave p hall]

i like chesire cheese, not to thick on a riveta cracker bread:p yumy yumy:rolleyes: shall we have a cheesy poll:wtf:

[Stu]

It was standard cheese I'm afraid.

[Stu]

I had some onions too.

You can't have too many onions. :)

[Yoda]

Onions cause many pleasures you will find. Eat many of them will you.

[bigred5765]

hmm cheese on toast with dadies brown on yum yum and yeh had to clean the grill after,well dish washer did

[Lee]

[NeilD]

[loose]

I was there when this was took!!! We saw 1 guy duck under, after 30 secs we got worried and waded in for him, only for him to appear clutching a slab of red stripe! Glasto hero!

:D :cool:

[tc2k]

Wow, some really pants weather we've been having and it looks like to continue, lookign at forecast. Rain predicted for all of next week at bury.

[hickston]

Weather depends on the website (as usual!!)

[NeilD]

Who's staying over on the Fri night?

[Lee]

Me but in a travelodge;)

I have to drive from crap yarmouth to durham then down to bury. oh the joys!!

[NeilD]

Travelodge is probably a good idea but who's gonna be camping on the Fri?

[rcracer]

[dave p hall]

im in two minds at the momment:confused: i'll see later on in the week.

[dave p hall]

just seen your messege neil,what time are you guys planning on going on friday:confused:

[tc2k]

Weathers looking up now, does anyone have a dry setup for Bury for the B4?

[rcracer]

just seen your messege neil,what time are you guys planning on going on friday:confused:

think we leaving hull about 7 ish ;)

[Lee]

Ok the weather forcast is saying "showers"

So i assume BB Green spikes will be the choice, but i have heard people say the old ones are better.

Whats the difference and is there an alternative that may work?

[Chequered Flag Racing]

What times booking in sat & Sunday anyway?

I'm taking Graeme Hunter over, he finishes work at 4 so i would say an hour or two after that, i'll speak to him on Thurs to confirm. Need some cans of Stella.

[chrispattinson]

There are about 5 of us leaving the North East at around 3 on Friday.

Early I know, but the plan is to prepare the cars when we are there on the Friday night, for the Saturday, while drinking the grog.

Are we allowed to use disposable BBQs if we bring bricks to protect the grass? And if we dispose of them.

[Kopite]

Lee, i emailed my entry across to brian@hopps.org.uk a couple of days ago, but i'm not on that list. Have i got it wrong? HELP!!!

[Lee]

Try this one

bh@adtecsoftware.com (bh@adtecsoftware.com)

;)

[super__dan]

Stan, don't forget to tell him you're non regional else you'll be discounted from the mid west (assuming you are scoring points there).

Dan

[Kopite]

I've included that in the email i sent. Cheers for your help lads

[Medders]

whoops, almost forgot to register :eh?:

[Northy]

A main predictions........ ??? :confused: :confused:

G

[telboy]

What 4WD you got Tel?

I haven't yet.:(

Thats the problem, it will be a D4, but I think Adam is still on hols and its him thats sorting it for me.:wtf:

I don't realy want to be buiding it on saturday morning and rushing it.

:(

[tc2k]

Touch and go whether Im going. Weather predictions have been changing all week from rain, sun, cloud back to rain so ill make a decision friday night

[Barry Williams]

Touch and go whether Im going. Weather predictions have been changing all week from rain, sun, cloud back to rain so ill make a decision friday night

Get your backside there josh, dont be a softie, you wont get that wet, i've just dried out from last weekend & it'll be better than that (I hope)

G, I reckon Craig Collinson will win his first regional this weekend in 2wd & Stu Wood to win the 4wd to make up for his torrid weekend at Kiddy. Both closely followed by Rich Lowe, Tom Cockerill, Adam Skelding etc etc (the usual suspects) Plus you will make both A finals as well Northy.

[wacattack]

I'm guna be a bit bias and say my bro to win both. I've seen him race at bury and he's aweome, I think if anyone beats him they will win the event

[jimmy]

Does the North East bring their own transponders? I spoke to Stu Wood just now and he mentioned that really they need to borrow some if not since theirs are in a poor way possibly. So does anyone know? And if not, can anyone bring some?

[tc2k]

I want to go Barry but the rain dont appeal as I am on a strict money diet, cant afford buying wet tyres or even worse, a speedo blowing.
Plus, my GCSE's start tommorow and I need to be prepared and although I want to go racing, if its gonna be a bit of a rainy day, id be better off at home revising, as sad as it sounds :eh?:

[Northy]

Jimmy, I would have thought someone will be bringing York's, thats what we normally use I think.

G

[philly]

I'm sure this will be on here somewhere but I can't find it! What set up tips are there for Bury? Particularly Shocks/springs. I guess tires are the usual yellows in dry (hopefully), greens in wet?(more likely!)

Oh, 2wd xxx-cr by the way!
Thanks;)

[rcracer]

A main predictions........ ??? :confused: :confused:

its not all about the A final :mad: we dont even get piccys of our heats :(

Of course!
Thanks, Iknew I'd seen it somewhere!;)

[Lee]

Anyone know what shop will be there on sunday i can get some tyres from, BB greens and schuey yellows?

[Northy]

Sunday Best from Castle Models will be there as always, what a Legend :)

G

[Lee]

I didnt know sunday best was the official term used:D

Cheers

Mr North

[Richard Lowe]

I'm guna be a bit bias and say my bro to win both. I've seen him race at bury and he's aweome, I think if anyone beats him they will win the event
So you're going to let him win then ;)

He has been annoyingly fast round Bury recently though :o :)

[Lee]

Whats the secret to being fast round bury then?

[xx4-nutter]

its not all about the A final :mad: we dont even get piccys of our heats :(

..moan over..;)


i agree with my dad on this one...

Garry D.

[Chrislong]

Whats the secret to being fast round bury then?


Familiarity

[bigred5765]

and a big thumb

[Lee]

Im goosed then.

I do have a big thumb though:D

[wacattack]

Familiarity

Totally!!

Knowing the track at Bury is paramount in wanting to do well. If you dont know the track you hit just about ever hump, bump, jump going.

When you know the track, all these obstacles seem to disappear (kinda) - you know what i mean :yawn:

[wacattack]

So you're going to let him win then ;)

He has been annoyingly fast round Bury recently though :o :)

Of course I'll let him win. Im a good brother and dont want to damage his confidence. Il reserve the beatings to the club meetings, when it doesnt matter as much and there arent as many people to witness the beating.

HAHAHAAH

[NeilD]

Rich in 2WD, Tom in 4, slightly biased towards the York boys there:rolleyes:

[super__dan]

http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/7days.asp?zipcode=manchester

I'll take this if it's correct. I love Bury in the dry and hate it in the wet!

[Lee]

Ill second that dan sorry Super Dan:D

[Richard Lowe]

http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/7days.asp?zipcode=manchester

I'll take this if it's correct. I love Bury in the dry and hate it in the wet!

Looks like ballistics for the final on Saturday then :rolleyes:

[Cockerill]

Looks like ballistics for the final on Saturday then :rolleyes:

Nah, worn yellows all day :D

[dave p hall]

weather forecast looks fairly good for saturday 4wd:D according to bbc ,not bothered about sunday,i wont be there;) .i bet track is on the damp side though with the rain this week.i hope we dont get to many fairys:D crying off if theres light showers about:(

[PaulRotheram]

what time do i need to be there on sunday? whats the deal with practise, open practise or timed? how many rounds/qualis and isit single A mains or 3?

[tc2k]

Pracitce is odd, I think its 4 minute timed and I believe open practice, at least it was at Durham.
Format is usually 4 rounds of qualifying with 2 best rounds to count. Then one legged finals.

[tc2k]

Unsure about whether to do 2wd at bury but has anyone got a wet setup for a B4? I assume Schumacher Green minispikes would be the tyre of choice, never drove in the wet.

[super__dan]

Open practice till it gets busy, then 5 min slots sorted by club until end of practice. 4 rounds, 1 final, seperate for non regional.

Book in beofre 9am at latest, racing starts by 10 usually.

[Cockerill]

Just to Confirm

Is it 4wd on Sat?

[dave p hall]

acording to northys (dates rules) post its 4wd saturday,2wd sunday. lets hope thats right:confused:

[Northy]

4wd Sat, 2wd Sun.

G

[Cockerill]

Cheers

[telboy]

Just had a thought.
seeing as my 4wd wont be here for sat, can you run a 2wd in 4wd? and add weight?

[telboy]

I'm deffo not scared of a bit of water. this is what we raced in at the weekend......
http://www.telsshells.com/DSCF4946.JPG

Ok I blew my elec's but they work now.

[Alan1467]

Just had a thought.
seeing as my 4wd wont be here for sat, can you run a 2wd in 4wd? and add weight?

As far as I know yes as long as it's at 4wd weight

Alan

[Northy]

Just had a thought.
seeing as my 4wd wont be here for sat, can you run a 2wd in 4wd? and add weight?

Yes you can, but as said it needs to be 4wd weight.

G

[jimmy]

If it's dry you'll not be far off the pace at all

[telboy]

will it bugger the tyres up?

[jimmy]

what, racing? Generally yea.. haha
Uhmm I usually race on half worns in the dry, some new ones would certainly last ME all day. in the wet you need greens or ballistics or some random american tyres though.

[bigred5765]

Addy and post code for those who are coming

and the weather, well rain then dry then rain again for Saturday,
but hot all day Sunday
well take a look for your selfs

[tc2k]

Im always skeptical about that site. For durham it said warm all day but it rained like the bbc and the weather site said. The fact its a payable site makes me think they'll put a positive spin on the weather. Looks like rain certain for both days on other sites.

[telboy]

what, racing? Generally yea.. haha

Sorry, I meant adding the extra weight to a 2wd. will that wear the tyres more?

Although if I remember, it doesn't weigh much less than the 1588g's anyway.

Those people camping tonight should be having a nice time.

lol - mate you gotta get over this rain paranoia! Its just a bit of water, nothing to worry bout less you're the lovechild of the Wicked Witch of the West.

[tc2k]

Hate driving in rain. Weather looks very nice for tommorow on weather.co.uk so looks like all the weather stations were messed up, was meant to rain hbere today and its sunny so Im on for tommorow, hopefully to do better than an E Final!

[bigred5765]

i think that the right decision was made today, about the racing being cancelled before the final, the track had 2-3 inch deep puddles and after last weeks performance, and all the speedos and receivers going bang,
i have to say great decision buy all involved, great days racing and no damages,

[losichris]

any results? how was the turnout?

[emzy]

No way... its been raining?!

Perfectly clear blue skies and sun up here!

Small pics these for now, 'cos they are not on my favoured server due to stuff. I'll sort proper ones later.
You'll get the general idea.

[tc2k]

Meant to be warm tomorow with no rain, lets hope its true and the tracks dried out.

[telboy]

well, sort of glad I stayed in bed this morning then.
Its been glorious all day here. rained once for about 2min, but thats it.

I'll be there tomorrow though.:)

[LEGEND]

By the looks of the photos it has been tanking it down. Up here in middlesbrough we haven't had a drop of rain all day, the wind has been herendous though. Too bad i cant make it down tommorow though, I think it would have been a realy enjoyable day too.:(

But anyway do we have any results yet:confused:

[bigred5765]

well, sort of glad I stayed in bed this morning then.

[tc2k]

Never been to Bury before, glad I did.
Didnt expect the track to be half as good as it was, amazing track and big thanks to the organisers, despite a shocking final and some dodgy driving on my part, was a very enjoyable regional which I look forward to next years.
The little bumps were difficult but added to the challenge of the track and Im glas they were there, just to catch a few off guard and challenge them.
Mind you, that big jump off the banked corner broke alot of cars today and was tricky to get right but was great when you nailed it :D Mine survived somehow

First of all I would like to say thank you all for tuning up this weekend and I appologise again for not being there. I did have something else on this weekend. Sorry. It was a very good turn out and I hope everybody enjoyed our track. Just thanks again for all.

[jimmy]

Thanks stu, I really enjoyed the track and the jumps were tops. Sorry I din't come today but I just felt knackered.

Thanks stu, I really enjoyed the track and the jumps were tops. Sorry I din't come today but I just felt knackered.

Jimmy, I ended up being up 21 hours on Saturday, up at 5am, not to bed till gone 2 Sunday morning, and up again at 6.30 this morning.

How tired do I feel now? :o :o Going to bed in a minute.

Great weekend, I really like Bury track, great track and great people.

Also thanks to little Ben for marshalling for me while I had a little tummy trouble :eh?: :wtf: ;)

Thanks Bury! My first regional meeting and I loved it. The course was extremely challenging for me, as it seemed to be for many drivers. Other than that, the organisaton was faultless, the welcome warm, and the weather dry! What more could you want?:cool:

[tc2k]

Aye, I was expecting no rain but not much more, come home and mum says my face is bright red, lovely weather. Again, brilliant track guys, thoroughly enjoyed it rubbish driving or not. The national drivers will be in for a big surprise :cool:

[WHITTLER555]

Sorry Northy and Stu, as I feel I may have had a small amount of influence in your tiredness today:cool:

I hope your racing did not suffer too much, I blame that dodgy pint in the Con Club, CON being the word!!:D

Just remember:

when your way on down, I can be your hero! Not in a brokeback way you understand:o :wtf: :o

[AndyM]

thanks to all the organisers, the track woz fantastic, and so woz the weather, today.

really enjoyed the racing aswell.

Jimmy does that regularly though, hes got a real excuse haha.

Sorry i couldnt make it today, i was up most of saturday night with an illness and needed a lie in, i'm slowly getting worse now too, sigh.

[Northy]

Do you know Damo, you can be quite funny at times for an old man! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[telboy]

first time at bury, first time on astro. top day top meeting (even if some of the delays were a bit long(those top drivers eh? they don't like rushing to their marshal posts do they?)).

I realy enjoyed myself on the way to the c final.:eh?: shame a stripped servo horn ended my race early.

Nice to chat with woody, I took some of your advice and the car handled better in the final.;)

Liked the first half of the track, nice and flowing. the second half, not to sure about (as I mentioned to you woody) but I just got on with it and was careful over those ickle jumps.

Deffo look forward to going there again.

Thanks guys.

[chrispattinson]

Excellent weekend, especially the 2WD day. I love the speed and flow of Bury, well done to the club, and the new features were great.

Pity we couldnt get more people involved with the footy on Sat night, but the record is now 14 to beat in the keep up game.

Well done to Dan, an 'eventful' qualifying and final resulted in a well deserved win, excellent stuff.

The B final I was in was a bit rough, could maybe have done with an official referee, but still enjoyable.

Nice display of car control from the AE lads in the non regional heat aswell,

all in all, a memorable weekend.

[super__dan]

Thanks chaps, I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday, drove pretty well and won’t let Richard forget my move past him on the triples ;) Thanks for putting those in the track Woody else I would never have got back past him!

Not sure what the policy on refs is now, I thought we were going to have them but we didn’t at Durham or at Bury. From what I heard the back of the A was a scrappy affair, some taking out and not waiting (very rude).

Tel, if you saw some scruff in a Novak T-shirt peering into the back of your focus, that was me. Your Optima shell is every bit as nice in the flesh as it is on the computer, good skills!

[jimmy]

Optima?????? :eh?:

[loose]

Brilliant day Sunday. The Bury track is a real challenge but fantastic. Woody is that your old fella on race control? Had a good chat and a laugh with him as we waited (again) for the top boys to marshall our lowly heat.

Dans OVERtaking of Richard was right under our nose, it was gonna take something a bit spesh cos Richard was on it too. Good racing. Saw a few of the other guys in the A having a minor dommie but I'm sure they'll sort it out. Not sure what happened to Tom, he was going well then diseappeared a bit.

Anyway top day, cant wait for next one.

[chrislee]

Enjoyed yesterday despite breaking my car on the double after the banked corner twice. Broke the rear shock tower in the 2nd qualifier then the front left wish bone and shock cap in the 3rd qualifier - I took it a bit easier in the 4th qualifier 'cos i didn't want to end up in the bottom final!!

It's a great track but definitely requires plenty of practice to have any chance of doing well.

Thanks to the club and organisers for a top day.

Chris

[Lee]

I had a wicked weekend!!
10th in 4wd and 12th in 2wd, i was made up especially being in heat 1 and 2 and being an F5.

I would like to say a thankyou to not only the club and organisers but to the lads in my heat who were good enough to move over when i was coming through.

Cheers

Lee

[Northy]

Great report and pictures Jimmy ;)

First off, a big thanks to everyone who was involved in running the meeting. Only being to Bury twice before but it's a great track.

Dan, if you thought the A was scrappy, you should have seen the 'B'. I got totally wiped out on lap one as someone tried the usual over eager overtaking manouver ! I managed to get back up to I think 2nd from last only to get wiped out again. I don't think anyone was respecting the racing line at all, just fly in and hope. Still great days racing.

By the way, I was marshalling near the tripples, and that overtaking move was inspired !

[super__dan]

Oops, I meant Ultima (or whatever).

I’ve got optima as a mate has dug his allegedly mint one out of the loft for me to rebuild as a weapon for vintage racing this winter, back of the net!

[NeilD]

I have to agree the weekend was great. The racing and general banter made up for the ropey weather on Saturday. Top weekend really.

[rcracer]

i agree also, really enjoyed the weekend,.....you beat me on the track NeilD :(..maybe next time

[vader]

what colour is grass? i think it's green

[P_B]

I only made it along Sunday afternoon thanks to my best mate's birthday (and subsequent hangover). Still, the racing I did see was enjoyable if, as already mentioned, a little scrappy during the finals.

Hoping the NW regional weather next weekend is more like Sunday than Saturday!

Here's Dan landing 'that' move as he single-doubled the new jumps, overtaking a more cautious Rich Lowe in the process:

Credit to Rich though, he knuckled down and pressured Dan until the last lap:

Elsewhere in the A, things were equally tight:

Vermin chose to make up his own track:

Tel's shell looks ace from any angle:

New astro on the straight still needs a wee bit of bedding in:

The 'non-regional' heat saw some folks testing for the upcoming National:

There were lots more photos, but they're all rubbish. Still got tons to learn about shooting fast-moving subjects :(

[NeilD]

i agree also, really enjoyed the weekend,.....you beat me on the track NeilD :(..maybe next time

I'm sure we'll meet again very soon and you had better wheels than me!:D

[Stu]

Pete - they are ace. :)

I love the one with the track in black & white, and the 1st one with Danneth & Rich over the small jump really sums up the 'A' perfectly.

[Stu]

Sorry Northy and Stu, as I feel I may have had a small amount of influence in your tiredness today:cool:

I hope your racing did not suffer too much, I blame that dodgy pint in the Con Club, CON being the word!!:D

Just remember:

when your way on down, I can be your hero! Not in a brokeback way you understand:o :wtf: :o


I was in bed at 8.30 last night, thats BEFORE Heartbeat finished! I was fecking badgered. :wtf:

Wr W was on the Karioke at 2am yesterday morning doing Elvis & Enrisques - it was ace (from what I remember).

Oh BTW - notice I snook a picture of a wheel-barrow in my gallery - nice.

Found it yet?

[Northy]

Found it, but that's a really poor wheel-barrow in my humble opinion, and it has to be said a poor wheel-barrow photo. My favourite wheel-barrow photo at the moment (and infact I have this picture above my bed) is this one:

I think you really must try harder Stu! :o

Even Lowe isn't impressed, just look at him.

Neil overcooks it into the first corner:

But Stu Hurley can top that!

Chris' yellow wheels - is there something he's not telling us?

http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/perapi/Bury%20NE%202WD%2007/IMGP1496.jpg

Perhaps it's a 'family' X6 thing?

Tom tries to look innocent:

That's about it from me, or I'll have to start on the blurry ones :(

[WHITTLER555]

I think the less said about the singing the better, it was probably VERY crap.

If you both made it to racing on time without throwing up you were doing very well.

I felt as rough as a dead badger all the way up to Upper Wharfedale, only to be confronted with a 1 in 4 climb up the side of a big hill, I tell thee, I nearly died, no really!!!;)

That's the last time I am drinking Red Bull/Vodka, thats it, no way back, the END. I could still taste it this morning! BLURGHHHHHHHH:(

I AM TOO OLD.

[Stu]

There should be an emoticon for Damian's singing, it would have the mouth of :mad: with the eyes of :eh?:

:)

[Barry Williams]

Great weekend despite wet saturday & flying gazebo landing on my tent on sunday!! excellent pics from jimmy, Stu & P B (Pete Byron??)

[telboy]

yeah?! what was with the gazebo?

I was watching the others put the awnings away, and then all of a sudden, the wind dramatically changed direction and picked up big time. then I heard everyone shouting near you bazza and I saw a gazebo going for one through the air!! and then all the tarpaulin dissapearing in a tornado stylee!

I reckon we 'ad a mini tornado!:)

[chrispattinson]

I see the series data is up on brca north east, but is there anywhere I can get the race data?

[wacattack]

Series results are still only for round 1

[super__dan]

what colour is grass? i think it's green

Not always, sometimes it's yellow or brown. I've also seen it blue where there spray the massive Fosters adverts onto the ground at the Aussie GP

[Northy]

I love it the brown way best.....
