I just think he's hacked off by being out qualified by a 2wd....


No pressure for the 2wd Regional now then Dan

Agree, a good meeting.

A few niggles, Obviously the motoX bikes are an unnavoidable noise, but the stock cars behind made it bloody difficult to hear 1)your car 2)Charlie when reffing and 3) the PA system.

The diagonal sections, I think would have been better as straight lines, I think it would've been more 'race-able', as with the current layout, that section is VERY bumpy and unless you have the perfect set-up is difficult to get though without losing control over the bumps. But being straight it would have made it easier to race with other cars.

The wind was a pain...but can't be avoided...must get some better wind deflectors. You want to put another rostrum on the other side so we can choose which side to race from, depending on wind direction!

Other than that I am prefering the layout to last years. Not sure how close the C final was, but I think I lost it by a transponders length I think. Good stuff though!
Think I'm ready for some new tyres as half way into the race I had no grip and the tyres feel like they are made of balloon rubber. Very flimsy.

[Rich D]

Yeah Dan was on it with his 2WD in our 4WD heat and we had some good toe to toe racing - credit due!

As for the tyres Tel - check your inserts as Nick was using some that collapsed the week before and had the same effect.
