Default A1 Racing Club 2WD Regional 12th June

Hi chaps,

just to let anyone racing next Sunday know that camping is available and free on Saturday night.

Gates will be opened 6:30am on Sunday for those travelling.

A food van will be open from around 7am or breakfast and open all day until everyone is fed.

Tuesday club meeting this week will run as usual for anyone wishing to try the surface, although the Regional track will not be laid out till Saturday and closed to everyone until heat 1 of practice on Sunday morning.

Anyone camping can play on remaining 1/8th track with their cars in the evening if they wish, although its different astro with lots of jumps so no advantage with testing tyres etc!

perfect for anyone wanting to bash a Savage, Revo or 1/8th about.

We do share the access road with businesses and a Motorcross track so please be careful and keep speed down for everyones safety.

Location details can be found on ME-OR website or www.A1RacingClub.com

Any other questions, please use this thread or PM.

Hope to see you all Sunday (or Tuesday!)

Mark.

Yeah echo the comments above, track was really well prepared and it was obvious a lot of hard graft had been put into it. Worst weather i have raced in, just about thawed out now. Many thanks !

You beat me to it guys...

Big thank you to all that came today,

still gobsmacked how hardcore this regions racers are... with weather like that from the start of qualifying through to gates closing i was shocked at how good the racing has been today.

Thanks for the comments, you are all more than welcome and glad you made the best out of the appalling weather.

Really glad the track held up with drainage and was driveable all day with some concentration to keep lapping cleanly.

Highlight for me was definitely Blitz getting 9 laps in on a soaked track with 3 wheels on his wagon and then doing it again in the final, brilliant (threadlock?!)

Cheers everyone, hope to be able to run meetings for the championship in future seasons and see you all and hopefully some sunshine at the next one

If anyone braved their camera getting wet and got some nice shots of the meeting then please get in touch, we have a few so when we've dried out and got some sleep we will forward them for the ME-OR gallery

Mark

p.s Top work Wes with sticking it in tha A final, you were well on form today matey

Here you go folks, having dried the camera out these are Ryan's and my pics from today.

http://www.a1racingclub.com/gallery/...l-rnd-4-(2wd)/

Thanks for the positive comments guys about the track and venue - makes it all worth it.

On a personnel note I have to say a massive thanks to Tony for his help in race control today and loan of the transponders.

it's a shame the pics don't show how bad the weather actually was, very impressed by the dedication of you guys and gals.

Cheers

Chris

Qualifying was:

1. Nathan Waters
2. Eugene Galley
3. Wes Jolley
4. Adam Skelding
5. Oz Gurnell
6. Richard Drury
7. Toby Stephenson
8. Ashley Caunt
9. Iain Mellish
10. Nick Gurnell

I think you needed either 10 or 11 points for the A - was tight qualifying!

Good job A1

I enjoyed the layout of the track, and in practice before the rain came it was great to drive around.

Look forward to having a regio0nal there next eyar in the sunshine
