I wonder what a b4 would go like round it:thumbsup:

[notlawnomis]

Yeah sorry Lee I know fancy it being in the North East but there is nothing we could do!! :D: lol
Did I not mention the SkatePark is the Track:p!!!

[josh_smaxx]

Skatepark! awesome! if i am allowed i am DEFINATELY going in there after racing :thumbsup:

Looks and sounds a good venue though, cant wait :D

[Col]

Skatepark! awesome! if i am allowed i am DEFINATELY going in there after racing :thumbsup:



I thought this was a good idea once. I left with an obliterated B4 that I struggled to revive! Concrete is incredibly unforgiving...

[josh_smaxx]

Who said B4? :D I have a monster truck :thumbsup: although its nitro so probably wouldnt be allowed to use it indoors :thumbdown:

[Northy]

Right, enough crap :lol::lol:

Current entries are:

28 2wd
55 4wd

G

[josh_smaxx]

Need alot more 2wd :thumbdown:

[LEGEND]

well hopefully will be racing during the day. And heck i amy even run my 2wd drive in 4wd again to see how i compare when i have run in all the qualifying rounds. Instead of just the two. In was surprised when i came to the final and i nearly lapped everyone when i was only running a 2wd car. Mind it was the F final though.:D

[Northy]

If I can get everything ready in time I might run my 1980 RC10 :thumbsup:

G

[josh_smaxx]

If I can get everything ready in time I might run my 1980 RC10 :thumbsup:

G

Awesome!! :thumbsup:

[notlawnomis]

Make sure its up to weight then Leg!!

[LEGEND]

should be alright. When i was racing at york i weight my 2wd to check if i need to add weight and to my surprise i was actually about 50 grams over the limit or something like that. So should be no problem.

[WHITTLER555]

G, please could you officially cancel my entry.

Thanks

[Lee]

The fella who didnt brush the back of his head??:thumbsup:

[chris68nufc]

Just got back from track building. Very nice layout if i say so myself. Nice jump in front of rostrum and a wall of death to look forward to! Plenty carpet for the carpet lovers aswell. Loads of room for pitting so no panic about getting a decent spot. Cafe upstairs etc so looks to be a great Regional.

[LEGEND]

The fella who didnt brush the back of his head??:thumbsup:

yup thats the one. Apparently that is the style nowadays. As my sister and all of her friends and a couple of lads that i know all have their hair like that.;) Anyway i can't wait for the regional tommorow, it is going to be great.;):thumbsup:

[xx4-nutter]

The fella who didnt brush the back of his head??:thumbsup:

rotflmao

[josh_smaxx]

Yep, thats Alex :thumbsup: cant wait myself, going to be great.

[josh_smaxx]

Just about to have brekky, pack the car and go, way way way to early but whatever :thumbsup:

[josh_smaxx]

What an ACE track :thumbsup:

Thankyou NERCR for and ace track, ace venue and ace organisers, had a great day, not really sure weather i did well or not but it was great fun and probably the best track i have ever driven, top regional. :thumbsup: Also great drive by Gregg in the 4wd A final, nice one!

[xx4-nutter]

well done Gregg ;).

Yorks regional track was pretty cool i thought. That "clash-top" was da bomb :thumbsup:

[Billthemina]

track looked klass today, shame a couldn't race:thumbdown:. wot do ya meen i stand funny :eh?:. but yeh some great driving well doen to Greg and Mike!!:thumbsup:

[Kash]

Good Track guys well done. I really enjoyed today it's been the best track i've raced at this series.
Well done Greg all that practise is making perfect :D i'm well chuffed for you. Keep it up

[Alan1467]

Yes great track and meeting just a shame about the driver! :(

Alan

[josh_smaxx]

Anyone who might want a picture of there car, ask me and i'll have a look rather than put them all up, it'll take ages.

[telboy]

How did Mr Skelding do?:)

[super__dan]

Any results from the A's?

[Mike Hudson]

I think the top lot in the A were greg, chris long and skelding for 4wd not 100% sure though

[josh_smaxx]

I think the top lot in the A were greg, chris long and skelding for 4wd not 100% sure though

Think your right there, i think Chris held of Adam but not sure, i should know after marshalling that race but im not sure :thumbsup: lol

EDIT: no i wasnt marshalling that one :wub i was taking pictures :thumbsup:

[chris68nufc]

Dan
As far as i remember it was Gregg with the win, David Snee with the second(hasnt raced in a while but it didnt show)and maybe chris Long next? James Chappell qualified 6th but didnt have a great race. Adam Skelding looked great all day as usual but made a few mistakes which didnt help. Well done to Stephen adams on an A final. Ben Riley was in the A aswell along with Northy. Sorry if i have got anybodys position wrong but thats what i can remember. Well done to NERCR for an awesome event and great track.
Brilliant result for little Gregg.Excellent run even tho you knew Snee was going for it! Gutted the indoor Regionals are finished

[chris68nufc]

Sorry. These were 4WD results(hopefully correct) and 2WD was won by Mr lowe. Great move to take the lead from Stu Wood to get the 2WD championship(I think) at the end of the straight.

[Adam Skelding]

How did Mr Skelding do?:)
For the first time in my life I drove with my head....
Qualy wasn't the greatest. But TBH Gregg was driving his socks off.. Unlucky not to take TQ...

Final: Drove round with caravan on and made sure I just finished behind Mr Long...(Or underneath as it turned out) :thumbsup: to win the championship.

I was tired though after spraying Mr North's incedibly complex shell ;) :lol:
I don;t know how you manage more than 1 colour.:lol:

[ben]

The photo josh will put below pretty much sums up ben riley for you. After him mauling me numerous times i still managed to stay ahead of him. :thumbdown:
Thanks to all invlolved brilliant track loved the wall of death. WELL DONE GREG excellent drive. Well wot i could see when you lapped me haha:woot::lol:

thats must be were the idea of the s44 came from

[mattym0310]

just about everyone in the 4wd A has been mentioned except ben jemison. big welldone to ben after getting his first NE regional A with the S4 [the only running s4 there today]. you did well to keep your position around the other ben, he was driving like an animal. ben also did well with his 2wd, putting it in the A to finish 3rd overall in the championship [i think :confused:]. so a very welldone to ben and all the other drivers.

thanks NERCR for a great meeting :thumbsup:

[sosidge]

Anyone who might want a picture of there car, ask me and i'll have a look rather than put them all up, it'll take ages.

If you have a pic of my white Tamiya Durga on track (ideally not in its roof...) I'd like to see...

[Richard Lowe]

to take the lead from Stu Wood to get the 2WD championship(I think) at the end of the straight.
Nah Woody won the championship, I needed to TQ aswell as win to get it. It was a bit of a dirty (unintentionally!) overtake for me, normally I would have waited but I wasn't in the best of moods after the local scallies decided to open my Astra's window with a screwdriver :(

Who needs a Tomtom anyway when you have KashKash to follow :thumbsup:

The Theving Scum

[gazbaz2]

Yeah bit of bad luck there matey, there the scum of the earth

[gazbaz2]

Kash, nice overtaking move on the A19 matey

[chris68nufc]

Sorry i got my facts wrong. Thought Rich deserved it after his car got done but never mind.Well done to Stu Wood. Sorry to Ben Jemison for forgetting about his Excellent position in the A final.Well done.

[woOdy]

I have to say sorry to Richard Lowe. We have drawn. We both have 101. 100 and a 99. Very sorry.

[Kash]

Kash, nice overtaking move on the A19 matey

:D While i had the throttle pinned I was havin him..lol

[super__dan]

Thanks Chris,

Rich, My TomTom went missing recently too, bastard isn't it!

Here you go :thumbsup:

[cmgreen]

Think we all have to thank Chris Patterson, Bill and Simon Walton for putting the time and effort to get this venue for the regional, with outh them it wouldnt of happened, also to thank those who were there sat afternoon and sunday evening.

Was a great track and weekend

[Chrislong]

Track was great, my only slight critism is having the matts after the straight complicates starts of finals. And having the bot-dots under the red carpet - makes that part of the track random.... personal preference to me though.

I reckon you guys have a great crew going supporting the club, and a great venue. How about arranging a major event once per winter there? As people like me are unlikely to go again until the next regional, but a 2+ day event there id be very keen to go to. I also reckon some of the guys over there would appreciate a large event in that corner of Britain as they do deserve a medal for the amount of driving they must do.

Well done to Greg!!!

[CraigM2610]

josh, did u get a pic of the track i wana see it lol

[josh_smaxx]

josh, did u get a pic of the track i wana see it lol

No, sorry, i was going to but i forgot lol.

I got a video following a car for a lap, its big so i need to figure out how to compress it but when i do i'll stick it on youtube.

[CraigM2610]

lol cool put up a link wens its up :)

[baD]

These are the "unofficial" results for the day and the series.
Hope the link works -> Results (http://www.nercr.net/results/regIndoor0708/mtg23/index.htm)
Mail secretary@nercr.net if they don't

I have used the settings as per the bbkRC regional database - so if they are not correct - not my fault.

Re the Lowe / Wood result - the bbkRC settings give the 2wd champ to Lowe as it is set to use "Best results of scoring rounds to break tie"

cheers ba NERCR

[josh_smaxx]

The results seem right.

So it was Kash who got me on the line taking 6th off my by 1/100th of a second :thumbdown::thumbsup:

[josh_smaxx]

hope you didn't gear that motor down Josh

Nop, left it well alone and it was spot on all day, just need to drive faster now lol :thumbsup:

[LEGEND]

Josh I thought that you were driving exellent. This is the reason you qualified higher than me in the first place. But when in the final it is all about keeping your cool and not bomming off at the firsty chance. I mean I started 10th, but i kept my cool and gradually over-took most of the people to finish with a well earned third.:lol::thumbsup:

[Greg Williams]

Thanks for all the kind comments guys.:D

Really enjoyed Sunday, the track was ace. Well done to the NERCR members who helped set the track up, I thought that the mats off the end of the straight were great and so was the wall of death.

Well done to Ben Jemison on making your first 4wd regional A Final and beating me by one point in the 2wd championship!:mad::D

Greg

Thanks, i was driving slowly and smoothly but i seemed to have bad luck/bad mistakes a few time in the final which put me down. I see you finished 15th, need a pit bitch/personal photographer at Worksop? :thumbsup:

[Shifta]

I just put a video of the 2wd A final on YouTube.. Unfoutunately i couldnt Video 4wd A as i was marshalling.. Here's a link
