Owen finished 9th in the 2wd A final and 7th in the 4wd Afinal
From Owen and myself a maaaaaaasive thank you to Craig who had his head in both cars all weekend! With Owens old X6 literaly falling to bits on the track Craig really had his work cut out(sorry Craig )But against the odds(and a lack of spares) came good.
Big thanks to mikey for lending me his bj4 and to paul knight for his support

I knew all that practice on the ruts at COBRA would come good in the end.

Well done again

[GRIFF55]

Big congrats to Owen...absolutely stunning drive in his last 4wd A final leg...proper quality!!!

Me on the other hand...I bumped into Dan Harding on Saturday when I arrived who told me he'd managed the E final in the seniors, he then let me know that it was actually the bottom senior heat! After that I feared my season long goal of avoiding the bottom final might be finally scuppered.

But somehow I managed to stick it in the D final!!! So well chuffed given the company I was keeping Qualified D9 finished D8...but only because someone didn't start

EDIT...to rub salt in my wounds the "Oracle" informs me after my days stress of running a 4wd for the first time with a mental 6.5 for the first time that, as others did, i could have used my beloved X6!!!!!!...EDIT

[peetbee]

Well done, Owen

[blue_pinky]

Is that the same beloved X6 that you'd stripped for parts to keep Owen's running the day before?

Sorry Dave...don't mean to rub any more salt in the wound...

Good work keeping yourself awake all (well most of) the weekend after the epic amount of miles you'd done in your transit just to be there!!!
