Well, it look s like the X6 has carried on from where it left off at last years Nats. Early days at the moment but I have just heard back from the X-Team at Taly.

In round 1 it was an X6 Squared 1-2-3 for the team - Phil Sleigh, Ellis Stafford, Mat Dodd (and I believe it was privateer Nathan Waters with another X6 Sq in fourth)

Round 2 and it was Ellis Satfford (X6 Sq), Lee Martin (B4) and Phil Sleigh (X6 Sq) who took up the top three places

Go lads!!!

[Lee]

Excellent!!!

[stegger]

How come your not there Lee ?

[_sleigh_]

Last round of quali is almost over and top 10 stands as

Stafford
Sleigh
Martin
Bradby
Yardy
McGee
Stanley
Lee
Waters
Lowe

[Darren Boyle]

So front row X-Factory, 5 in the A in total and Tom C is BQ I understand, not bad lads!!!!

[stegger]

Popped up to Tally earlier. Main straight looked very bumpy and random. Quite a Few breakages.
Weather was windy with the odd outbreak off sun.

[Garry Driffill]

Any news from Todays results?

X-Factory dominate again?

[Darren Boyle]

Not quite....... Tom Yardy TQ and win, but Tom Cockerill Q 3 and finished 2nd and Ellis Q 7 and finsihed 3rd, two more X-Factory cars in the top three....happy days (from what I have been told by the team lads)

I ran all day there, and only had one moment on the straight, and I was going all out down the straight, and up the banking, many a drive round the outside, up there.

So if a mere F5 with a Tamiya DB-01 can do it... so can everyone else, just don't drive up the MIDDLE of the straight.

Thanks to all at tally!! Really enjoyed the weekend. Weather was great and enjoyed the track all bar the straight which i found a bit random if you had to change lines or try a pass (ok, didn't do alot of the latter)
Nice one, vast improvement over last year even if my result wasn't.

Big WELL DONE!!! to Phil for Sat and Yardy for Sunday!!!!

Thats fine when you are doing 27-28 second laps, but when you are doing 24-25 second laps then try it!!!

[IceMike]

awesome weekend fellas, and such a great team of guys.

[Lee]

I can't wait to hear Mike Hudson's thoughts on the track.

Well done to Phil and the Two Toms.

Yesterday it seemed you had to have been Married to make the A and today you had to be called Tom, Ace !!

[ashleyb4]

Wow what a weekend. 2wd was good happy with where i i finished and loved my final, had a few laps changing between first and second with wraggy. Then he got away and i was left to scrap with alan hart which was good to

Saturday night was mad decided to fit a stick pack lipo in my xx4 for a bit of exprimentation. So mid way though this mum overloads then genny so i go out turn it off and go to start it and i snapped the pull cord. So stripped it down and put a new cord in but we seem to of done it wrong. So plugged into Craigs genny and finally finished the job.

Sunday was awsome car was good with the lipo was struggerling with consistancy all day then in round 4 i did a storming round with only one mistake. Which gave me a good round score and put me in the J behind Mike Elliot and Andy Reeves. And basically it just went wrong but did end up 4th after all the mess.

Track/Venue:

Track was awsome today some area's might of needed a bit of flattening but jumps seemed to work much better today. As for saturday loved the layout but the jumps where not that easy.

Only Problem i had with the venue was the lack of toilets overnight and the fact that if you wanted water you had to ask or brave the dogs.

But i know how hard it is to run an event like this and well dont to everyone at tallywain great event.

Also well done to sleigh and well done to Tom for today you really do deserve it fella. Well done.
