Hi all

just started a couple of threads about a charity event we are setting up this weekend. Mike Elliott (Oswestry club member) is getting his back waxed and depending on hwo much is raised he will get his chest and legs done as well. this will take place on the Sunday and is going to be awesome!

Please visit his fund raising page http://www.justgiving.com/icemike or pass on some cash on the day.

It is for a good cause which is Breast Cancer Care

Good weekend well done to Oswestry club and BRCA top job :thumbsup:


What decision was made with the result of the second leg of the A final ?

[MikePimlott]

Thanks alot all involved, another memorable Oz national for various reasons

1) Mike Elliotts back! Ouch

2) Joe Cockills bath! :lol:

3) Phil Sleigh's "and he just pulled your pants down and had you" :woot:

Track was the best one ive raced on at Oz well done again all involved.

[MHeadling]

What were the 4wd results???

[Rob_B]

Stafford Leg 1
Cragg Leg 2
Martin Leg 3

Unsure on the overall

[mikeyscott]

Stafford running 511?

[Rob_B]

I think he was yes

[Rich D]

Yeah he was. Great racing between the top three guys in each leg of the A. Very little between all three. Impressive skills.

[panch]

Great weekend, Credit to all involved with track prep and the general running of the event..

Track was awesome, absolutely love the grass racing up here :thumbsup:

Loads of banter as per normal and fair play to Joe C for being a good sport when taped up like a hog roast and then bathed in the pool !!!!

Also great effort by Mike raising money for breast cancer :thumbsup:

Jimmy must have some cracking pics from this weekend, cant wait to see them...

Roll on Southport :D

[ashleyb4]

Some pictures from 4wd...

A

[telboy]

Awesome weekend!
My best reults ever in both classes. G final running the HPI/HB 2wd proto, and F final running a 5/6year old HB D4!! :)

There was some great racing through the field and the second A final leg final lap was mind-blowing!!!!

Well done to all involved, and can we have a track like that next year please? :D

[Jonesy]

From a club point of view I'm delighted we've received so much great feedback from you guys!

The track was an interesting one as for the first year we never had an exact layout to work too! When Ash, Jeff and I first laid it it was 40 metres longer than the finished product! It goes to show that grass tracks can be fun

Thank you for bearing with us during the minor power cut delay on the Sunday

Finally I hope you guys enjoyed mine and Nathans D Final race yesterday, I thought it was more exciting than the A! :lol: :thumbsup:

[Shifta]

I had an awesome weekend.. I like racing on astro tracks with loads of features but have to say I loved the old skool grass track at the weekend and it helped produce some excellent racing throughout the finals..
The second leg of A the has to be the most exciting race I've seen with all three drivers pulling out all the stops and really going for it right up to the line.. well almost :thumbsup:

Thanks Oswestry :D

[Shaun 'TheSheep' Atkinson]

Anyone know where the overall championship points are being uploaded to? Because as far as I can see, the - www.onetenthoffroad.co.uk Hasn't got ANY 2011 scores, just last years. :confused:

although ozfest isnt on there yet

[chrispattinson]

Echoing the other comments, the grass track was excellent, and a welcome change to the national calendar. Great weekend, and like Jeff says, that 2nd leg A final is the best race I have ever seen. :thumbsup: Oswestry :thumbsup:

[Freakypen]

Thanks to Oz team for another great national-really enjoyed it.

I do have a problem that I'm gonna throw out there.
For the 2nd year in a row I've been unable to race my final ( B ) in 2wd-due to interference.
I use a Sanwa super exzess 2.4 and never had a glitch all day-or all winter and summer till now. Once the final leg of the A was over I tried the car again-and it was perfect. Exactly as the previous year!!!:cry:

I'd maybe understand a xtal prob causing this if we all still used 40 or 27mhz but I'm baffled by this. The car just managed to sit on the grid-then glitched around for a lap then took off by itself....

Do I have an Oz curse or has anyone else experienced problems on sanwa 2.4g?

[jasonrcb]

Strange you should say that about interference,at the oz regional this season i had radio problems all day with the same thing,but since that meeting the radio has not missed a beat,im as baffled as you are

[Freakypen]

It sucks..Were you on 2.4G,if so which radio system?

[jasonrcb]

Sorry yes 2.4,hitec radio and the spektrum module
