[Spencer Mulcahy]

I will be up for that sweet as a nut. (I have never had a sweet nut?):D

[Scouser]

If the wall of death is coming back, better make sure there are lots of Kyosho spares in that shop!!:D

[DaveG28]

Will I be able to enter both 2wd and 4wd?

Dave

[DanW]

shouldn't be a problem to race both, I think a couple of guys did the same last year. Just speak to race control on the day if you need your positions in the heat list to be "frigged" if you want a bit of a gap between your 2wd and 4wd races.

[PaulRotheram]

Entrys are now open, please send your entrys with the following info:

Name
xtals
ability
class

to gotmilk@hotmail.co.uk

Doors will open at 9:00 on sunday 13th January, and racing to start near 10 oclock.

£7 for one class, £10 for two.

EDIT ignore

[PaulRotheram]

Track has been laid but more needs doing to it in the morning. We have some school table and chairs avaliable to use for pitting, but they are not overly big - theyre the exam type jobbys. You can use these or move them out of the way for your own pit tables.

Well done to Matty, he drove his socks off! Car looked to be going VERY well too ;)

Oh and an excellent event, great track and ran smoothly. Im even home in time for Sunday roast! BONUS! Hope the SRCC GP is now an annual event?

[DanW]

Hope the SRCC GP is now an annual event?

GP is an annual event.... this year was third success year we've run it. Last year was a bit disapointing because the meeting was well pre-booked, but then we got a lot of no shows.

This year the turn out was very good, only two or three no shows, but enough reserve drivers had turned up to take the places.

Hope to see everbody again next year.

[MikePimlott]

Excellent day, Big thanks to Club, it was excellent.
Well Done Matty, Fantastic driving mate.

And i have to agree, Tom's car touching the roof was Ace. :cool:

[Evo_Snr]

The results for the SRCC GP http://www.srcc.co.uk/index.php?pid=94
49 2wheel & 30 4wheel
Just like to thank all drivers for making my life easy at race control :)

[quincey]

A big thanks to all who orginized today,i had a fantastic day and my friends who came with me also had a great day.
i was quite suprised how well i quailified(didnt finish too well:confused:) and i will be back next year.

[Mrs oOple]

Big thanks to the organisers and track builders, it was a great event and i enjoyed driving the track, it was challenging but I could just about make it around :)

Also a big well done to the winners - Mat Dodd in 4wd, closely followed by Chris Long and Paul Rotheram, and Yardy in 2wd, followed by Matt Latham and Nick Oliver.

The wall of death and those jumps that followed it were great to watch, very dramatic :)

[mattbrown]

Cheers for the grate day lads!

Lost my v to buggy racing and came middle of the c so not to bad!

Is there only one anually? No chance of a summer/spring series?

And well done to tom for hitting the roof!

Maybe you could do a high jump comp at the end of the next one?

M.B.

[PaulRotheram]

I'd just like to say a huge thank you for everyone who turned up! last year was dissopointing with alot of no shows but this year we were 1 slot away from being a full sell out at an 80 max capacity.

Thank you to everyone who helped with the event, the day went along smoothly. I had a nice day racing, and i'm very pleased with my result.

I'm abit dissopointed with the school saying the mats were locked away and they couldn't get in.. as i thought it would of made the track better, but to be fair the track was really nice and had good comments all day.

[bigred5765]

thanks all
i had the drive of my life
hope i can keep it up outdoors
matty
today was the bomb

[DaveG28]

Just worked out who Quincey is, brilliant name mate!!

Great day thanks all, ran two cars with nothing breaking all day, so a nice relaxing one for me!! Even kept having people sit next to me helping marshall which made life easy too!

What state was that second triple in by the end of the day, it took some good old bangs?

We only run indoor GP once a year. Our indoor season starts in October and runs to the end of march. Easter sunday is normally our first outdoor meeting.

We have regular club racing most sundays, but normally only have access to the main hall so the track is smaller to allow space for pitting.

During the outdoor season we have a variety of events as well as club racing, Summer championship series for club members, Easter meeting, Regionals & National. Also we sometimes have 1 off trophy type meetings outdoors.

Check out the club website for all information

A lot of drivers seem to be coming back to 1/10th off-road - its a good trend lets hope it continues.

[MikePimlott]

Awesome Pics again Jimmy.

[bigred5765]

nice job jimmy

[matdodd]

Nice pics Jimmy :D

[Yardeeee]

I would also like to say thankyou to all the guys at Southport. I'm really not a fan of buggy racing indoors but while yesterdays track was pretty hard work, it was also quite rewarding when you got it right and I would say that the atmosphere in the pits and the general organisation etc. made for one of the most enjoyable indoor races I've attended.

Cheers,
Tom Y.
