Sure have David :-) ignore the website, i'll remove that list.

[Adam F]

Any pics of the track as yet?

[Slimboyfat]

If we cant make it tomorrow, whats the best way of letting someone know?

I have a rediculous amount of snow and its possible I wont get there even with the best will in the world.

Not going to cancel unless its impossible though, just want to know what to do in case...

[lotussmart]

If you can't make it then email sales@ardentracing.com.

So far as of 19:22 no snow in this area and non forecast now until Monday!!

Good luck getting here everyone, track is done, it's 75% carpet and 25% slippy, more like the track at Round 1. It's going to be good fun and well worth a try at getting out of your estates.

[lotussmart]

Thank you all who made it today despite the weather where you lived. Bet you were surprised to see no snow at the Raceway, don't know what all the fuss is about :-).

We love having the buggy drivers there, great bunch of guys, great banter and great racing.

Once again thanks to all those who made it. I will do the combined results soon and a brief race report but until then today's results can be found at www.ardentracing.com/raceway/results.php

Are there any galleries from each of the offroad rounds at all John?

[mikeyscott]

Indeed any pics of the surface and layout. Next stop Petit and will there be practice?

Just need a SV setup as I haven't raced indoors with it yet

You will be able to practice Thursday and Friday before the Petit for just£10. It won't be the exact same layout but the surfaces will be the same.

[Gareth Jones]

Probably a dumb question, but whats the Petit race all about then?

Is it something anyone can enter?

Gareth

Shame i didnt get run on the track (apart from first tihing), paid my entry to race but spent my time in QMC

I did like the track the only downfall i didnt like was the wall of death cause it was so unpredictable i just didnt find it very helpful tbh not my cup of tea

But i def be there for the Thursday & Friday need the practice lol

[4_cell_racer]

They spent about 2hrs scraping my eyes it was very bad it glued my eyes it's self so i couldnt see anything. I had to go back yesterday to get checked & they had to scrape them again as there was still alot there. At the moment I'm sort of ok but my eyes feel very bruised & painful in any bright light. I can see roughly about 3ft infront of me at the moment. They say once the swelling & everything has gone down should be fine so they reckon few weeks. So my racing is done for little while hopefully not to long
Did you see it shot straight in ? cause it was such shock for me just didnt know what to do i would hate to see it to happen to anyone else.

Was told by the nurse very lucky it didnt burn or would of been blind for good?? So was lucky i reckon touch wood

[RogerM]

Damn Rob, sounds nasty. Hope you make a full recovery and get back in action for Petit.

To the organisers, sorry I didn't make it but roads were impossible around here. I would have mailed but no net access at home, was going to phone then realised I didn't have the number and no net access to get it.

Hope the event went well and not too many people dropped out. See you all at Petit.

Oh yes mate....I saw it shoot into your eyes it looked like a snake spitting venom out.

There were still 10 heats, although not full heats, but it stretched the day a bit more.

I only had a couple of 'glitching' incidents worse round was R3 and then had 3 glitches in R4. Wether it was because there were less people there or what I dont know. But the only thing I changed for this round was the servo. Changed from KO to Savox. Strange if that was the problem after all.

Out of interest what car was Andy Moore running? Hb Cyber or D4??
