Default Tamworth Micro National - Conway and Robertson take wins.



Tamworth was the venue for the 4th round of the 2009/2010 BRCA Micro National series, held on sunday the 3rd of January.
Danny Conway dominated 2WD, taking the TQ and win with his 2WD converted LRP Shark.
Meanwhile in 4WD things were a little more open - with reigning champion Mark Stiles battling with returning former-champion Craig Harris and Keith Robertson for the TQ and Win. Craig Harris too TQ, winning two rounds of qualifying - whist Mark and Keith took a round each. At the end of a hard fought final where all three lead the race it was Keith Robertson that took the well deserved win.

Check out the race report here: http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/tamworth030110/

Great work Jimmy, super-quick getting the report up (glad the meeting wasn't at Eden Park...)

And that conversation about retirement was confidential or didn't I make that clear! LOL

It's hard to tell the cars apart as they're so damn quick. Good job mine's a bright colour.

Yes, the wife needs to work on her camera and child silencing skills The whole B-final felt like a messy affair. There were bumps and shoves all over the place but I mostly messed up my own chances by falling off the big jump or hitting barriers! From B4 to B1 to B10 back up to B4.

Still, the loooong Shark felt AWESOME

The positive response convinced me to go through my photos and put a few up in a gallery here: http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/tamworth030110/pics/ it's also linked on the race report itself
