Warren always goes well at DIR, no probs over the jumps!

Where is Robert Reid these days? Haven't seen much of him or his new B4 recently.

The wall of death was awesome tonight! Cant wait to get the B4 out on it so I can really get a bit of silly high jumping going . Couldnt really risk the 501x as I need to wheel it out for tomorrow night in fivemiletown!

I'll have to take the video camera up next time round and take a new video, make a push to get more people up there so we have a good A-Final to video!

Hard to beat a bit of good roof racing! The mighty T4 handled it ok, but the poor rear shock tower gave up in the end. Too many thumps down square on the roof from 12 feet up.

I did notice that you didnt run anymore after you nearly hit the roof and had the heavy landing on the flat!

I was quite pleased I managed to get about 2ft off the top of the wall and still turn and land on the downramp :P

We have a pretty good track layout now with plenty of air-time guaranteed, so lets make this race night a good one with lots of racers!

Last Wednesday definitely qualifies for my worst night's racing at the Drop Inn...and there's plenty of competition.

Broke a rear shock tower (the one spare I don't have) in practice before the first heat, and then broke another (thanks for the loan, Ed!) in exactly the same place on the first attempt at the tabletop at the start of the second heat, for a grand total of zero completed laps; in fact, just one completed corner...

Please, please, please don't put the tabletop there again - it was very hard to lineup right.

On a positive note, it was great to see the Tamiya squad for the first time, their enthusiasm was what kept me from slinging a rope over a rafter...

Great to see the new Championship Ed....best way to keep a club going and the interest of its members. Good luck with the scoring....lol

So, nearly 3 years after starting out (in a small dusty floor hall surrounded by broken furniture!) it was good to see 15 enthusiastic 1/10 off-road racers last night at the Drop Inn Craigavon. With one Club Championship behind us we are looking forward to hopefully a bigger and even better one starting in September. (Classes for 2wd & for 4wd just one of the things being looked at). As mentioned last night there are a few races coming up which should be good craic, as well as giving us the opportunity to support other clubs and try racing on different surfaces. With holidays, work and loads of other stuff none of us can get everywhere obviously enough, but if you are interested in heading to any of these events feel free to txt or PM me and maybe we can arrange to share transport.
