Notts and Derby 1/10th Stadium Trucks
 

Although NDOR (Notts and Derby Off Road) is a 1/8th track I managed to get a few others interested in putting together our own heat of Stadium Trucks for Round 3 of their Summer Series.

Eight competitors with mainly budget priced Stadium Trucks took to the track for 4 rounds of 7 minute heats and the 15 minute final.
We had
1 HPI Firestorm
1 ECX Circuit
1 Durango DEST210
2 Associated T5m
2 Thunder Tiger Phoenix (although had lots of Associated T3 parts fitted)
1 Team C
1 FTX Siege

Yes I know that's 9 but the Siege was my spare truck which I had to use for the last round of qualifying and final as the Durango lost it's front wheel and axle after the first lap in qualifying meaning I had to finish that race on 3 wheels and with a rear tyre coming off...it was fun to say the least.

Qualifying was shared between the T5m's of Brandon and Phil Young with the only other mid motered truck, my Durango not doing well at all firstly having receiver issues and then losing a wheel, and then another wheel

The final also went to one of the three people travelling from out of the region as Young Brandon took a fantastic win with his T5m, the closest my reserve truck the FTX Siege could get was a lap behind followed by another one of the travellers, Reece with his Team C in third another lap further back.

All an all a great first ever Stadium Truck heat at NDOR and hoping we can add to the success on the 24th July at Round 4. The fantastic weather is already booked :thumbsup:

Some action from the final round of the NDOR Summer Series with a magnificent win if not a little fortunate for Tony and an excellent second for his daughter Penny, running an unfamiliar truck (my spare FTX). I came home in third in the 15 minute final after popping a rear camber link and having to nip back to pits to screw the ball back in, then losing a wheel with about 4 laps left. Fabulous first pole position for Tom and FTD went to me so had something to shout about after all :)

If you want somewhere to race STADIUM TRUCKS over the Autumn/Winter the East Midland guys will be doing most of the NDOR and A1 winter series :thumbsup:
