Teesdale today

[Northy]

Well done today guys (and girls)

The meeting was very well run in the difficult circumstances of crap weather and using other peoples gear (which was done to allow people to run PT's remember)!

Everyone did a great job today and you lot should be proud of what you have managed to acheive in such a short time there (is this your 2nd year after "reforming"?).

Well done again, pass my thanks onto everyone else at the club who helped.

Cheers

Graham & Julie

Totally agree with Northy

I did pop into the cabin to express my thanks to the Teeside guys, but they deserve a thank you on here too.

It's hard enough running an 80 car regional, but when you have the added nuisance of computer gremlins, power cuts, troublesome transponders and diabolical weather it must be pull-your-hair-out time.

Team Teeside overcome the problems, and did it in good humour.

Thanks to Malcolm, Richard, Kash, Gemma and EVERYONE who worked so hard today.

Yep! Northy and Rob got it spot on!

Well done for running the meeting in difficult circumstances.

We really must get some more gerbils to power that laptop!

I think Richie deserves a medal for the most re-boots of a race control pc in one day.

First time I have visited and I loved the track, really flowing and took a lot of rain water without any puddling on the surface.

Just sorry my holidays clash with the 4WD Regional, can we move the dates??!!

Cheers

Added a photo of your car mike, missed it off earlier, bit blurry but I was trying to add a bit o motion in there with some slow shutter speed stuff.

[MikePimlott]

Thanks everyone for all the good comments you have made. It shows what true hardcore off road racers you are.
It makes the hard work that went into worth while.

Some great pictures there Jimmy once again.

There was a lot of rain yesterday and i suppose that if the meeting had been held in most other place we wouldn't have got 4 rounds in.

I'm wondering what the people would say that built the bowling green and looked at it yesterday.

[richierodriguez]

Thanks for the photos Jimmy, brilliant as usual.

And Curtis fetching his car from under the jump is great. (I'm pleased we put sides on the bigger jump now otherwise he may not have got the car back)

We picked up on a few things yesterday, so we'll look to improve them as I guess all clubs do, the parking combined with wet weather is something we need to sort out, so leave that with us.

Thanks to Team oOple :buggy: for coming along...

thought these icons might be more appropriate for yesterday... :nemo: irat: & :emz:
