NorthWest regional round 2 - Bury

[PaulRotheram]

So who's coming? i'm looking forward to this.. i'm unsure on a start time so it'd be cool if a bury member can clarify it.

any more 4wds coming? there should be a few people from southport running 4wd for sure.

I'm aiming for top f2 in 2wd again..

[jimmy]

I'll be there running the 501X with Nosram 5.5 insanity - bring the box of bits woody.

Sorry for being sightly off topic, but why do you say insanity Jimmy?

Do you think the 5.5 too powerul for an off-road buggy?

[Rob]

I'm hoping to be there, but forecast looks terible at the moment, hopefully it will change!

I've now got a pass out this sunday so if that weather appears to be wrong I'll be there for the non regional race (assuming there is one?)

[jimmy]

Yeah I think there is mate, Northy was in the non-reg at the first round.
Can't remember if it was just the final or a heat also tho. Either way I'll be there running the 501X and catching speeders down the straight! :)

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Last time the none regional was mixed in qualifying and ran a separate final. I will be there but I am getting realy pissed off with all this rain, need to try this weekend and follow on with my good run in the last one.

[losichris]

Just being pedantic here, but I don't remember telling you that...

I do remember putting a post on the forum that said it though, as that what is Eric E had suggested was the case.

Thanks to the bury crew for putting the meeting on, i had a nice day out.

[jimmy]

No pics from me really, I felt ill all weekend and just wasn't up for it, thats why I crashed so much too! :D
Can't believe some dodgy connector stopped me from romping off with the 4WD win, gutted.:(

[WHITTLER555]

1st corner - I'm in the lead?!?

1 minute - hold on!

2 minutes - hold on!

3 minutes - hold on! I might do this??

4 minutes - B*GGER!

:D

[PaulRotheram]

howd you end up dammo? i was proper chuffed for you to be up there for a while, mr mcgoo and woody were on pace however.

[WHITTLER555]

Managed to hold Mr wood off for about 1 1/2 laps after he caught me, then Mcgoo went past.

Very happy with 3rd though!!:D

[PaulRotheram]

[bigred5765]

[PaulRotheram]

My arse well and truly fell out. Was well happy with my first ever regional A final.:)

[woOdy]

I would just like to say thanks for coming yesterday and I thought it was a god day. The day was a final test for the triples and they are staying. I too had a good result finishing 1st and this was the best the car has been for me. Also I would like to give a big thanks for all the people that showed up on Sat fro the work party which turned out to be very productive and we got loads done. The next thing is the NAtional.

[losichris]

great day ..even with the bad weather to start the day off, had a nightmare in my final was right up there till a marshall put a car infront of mine down the straight, it was hard work after that was well down.oh well

also the track looked amazing!

[PaulRotheram]

i knew i forgot something! the track looked really good, well done to everyone who made it happen. it was quite a shock when i got there in the morning, but a pleasent one to say the least!

[losichris]

does anyone know if the results will be posted anywhere

[loose]

My arse well and truly fell out. Was well happy with my first ever regional A final.:)

I'll claim some credit for your good run, I reckon it was your new nick name that helped. ;)

WHat sort of turnout do you get for North West regionals, is it similar to the North East?

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Not as big entries than north east Sunday there where 28 running for points but a few more attended the first round at Southport. I think the name has stuck my results have got better since though.:)
