Ozfest 08 - Unofficial Oswestry National Thread

[SHY]

Congratulations Ellis, you are a superstar!

X-Factory cars aren't too shabby either...

Enjoyed the atmosphere of the weekend even though I was there for just the 4wd.

We finally got the weather sorted too which was a bonus.

Didn't like the track at all, no faulting the effort put in, but it was shocking for me. Bring on the next one in Millzy country!

Yeh i forgot too, that I nearly hit Adam Skelding in the head off the jump infront of rostrum. (Sorry Adam)

I saw a car roll and Adam ran out, so I went wide on the jump to give him space and ofcause have to commit early for the jump - but Adam saw me and stayed wide thinking he'd be out of my way, and nothing I could do as I was midflight, its just very lucky that he moves so well.

If there was more thought put into downslopes, then there would be no car to marshall in the first place.

Im in no way slating you guys tho, im 100% impressed with effort (some of that %age goes to Mcgee tho ). Would be happy to return in 2009!!!! (Where we can win the quiz again - you really need to make it harder tho )

Whoever booked the weather - great job. Whoever built the track obviously took on board things said after previous events and I'm sure will do so again - great job. All the club/region members who pitched in to keep things running so smoothly - great job. Meetings this good almost make me want to pick up the sticks again!

I'm sure Jimmy and Stu will have some ace pics, am fairly pleased with mine but took loads and can't be arsed going through them all right now. Still, to keep you going there's a quick 'n dirty event gallery up on Photobucket (here) and I'll perhaps stick a few more there later in the week. Apologies to the bulk of competitors as these are largely 'the usual suspects', will try and watch more racing next time!

















Racers who want the large version, PM me.

And I definately have enough weight to pull about

Echoing everone else's words - Big E was superb all weekend and the Organisers did a fantastic job. Had a load of fun all weekend.

Respect to Danny McGee - Not wishing to detract at all from the superb job that the organisers had done in preparing the track, It was refreshing to see that a top driver was prepared to put a lot of effort in and not just comment adversely on someone else's work. His 2x Afinals were (IMO) justifed rewards for his sweat and efforts in (re) cutting the track on Friday evening.

Well done to everyone who contributed to Oz-fest '08 - a lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes from the club organisers and the BRCA officials which often goes unnoticed - without this work, we'd all have nowhere to race so big thanks to you all.

People should be aware that when Jimmy posts his report there will be some groundbreaking stuff in it, stuff the likes of which not even God has seen before.
