HPi win at EBOR 24 hour race - oOple

[jimmy]

Team Mirage / HPi won at the 2009 EBOR 24 hour race held at the York Off Road Car Club over the weekend of 31st Jan - 1st Feb 2009. The grueling 24 hours of solid racing took their toll on the competitors but all teams finished with HPi out front after a bad start. The A-Team (read - Associated) snatched second by just 3 laps after a battle with the unlucky Nor-Trak-Macher-Tech team who themselves had lead the race for a long time.

x factory did a average of 441 laps per driver, thats over a 40 meetings worth of driving, all in one day and all on Matty transmitter,
anyone one to buy a little used KO 3 tranny lmao,

A big well done to York for running the event and building a really nice track to drive. It was easy to bod round but there was loads of time to be gained in the last few corners/jumps before the straight

Thanks and well done to the Mirage team, we had some bod radio problems at the start but once that was sorted the Cyber was flying round. It survived us thrashing it for the whole race pretty much box-stock, no doubled up shock towers or fancy ballcups needed

I'm off to bed!

Ace report Jimmy as per usual

[jimmy]

have to say, it would be nothing without the help of Stu Evans - he's a legend.

[telboy]

Top report as always.

The marshalling looked hillarious!

Well done to the Mirage team.

[bigred5765]

the comedy style marshaling / or fake car pick ups were ace, i think they should be next years oople comedy pics ,

[Chris Doughty]

Tom Cockerill's "tickle the cats tummy" was the best of the lot, he pulled that out the bag after 23hrs.

[bigred5765]

never seen a cat roll over for its tummy tickled, lol

[MHeadling]

[Chris Doughty]

I still can't believe you sent me out with your yellow wheels on the front and the white wheels on the back.

I mean, I would have happily waited another 30 seconds for it not to look bod

[bigred5765]

top report jimmy , pleased to see not all the piccies got used ,

[jimmy]

Thanks mate, I think it's possibly a little 'risque' in places, but it was never designed to be a serious straight-up race report.
