[mattybucks]

May well have been actually tbh, all I am going by is what everyone booked in with in advnace, plus we did ask EVERYONE to check the provisional heat list on the day prior to booking in for all car detials, PT numbers etc and to make corrections when they booked in, we changed every single one that we was told about

[simoncrabb]

A great day, a good crowd as always. Thanks to everyone!

I've made a pointless video about it, cos Darren told me to:



I've just remember the exciting thing I forgot to talk about. It was the guy with the X6 who drove into my knee and broke his chassis. It didn't hurt a bit, sorry for being an immovable object.

LOL, love it!! Hows the knee?

Hope you journey home was not too long......

Big up SHRCCCCCCCCCCC

Would we be Mid South of South East?

[simoncrabb]

TORCH seems to be Mid-South, I figure SHRCCCCC would be too?

I honestly don't know, I've absolutely no idea how all regions came about in the dim and distant past (I raced NE region in the late 80s!).

Is there a boundaries map anywhere?

[Dudders]

Area's dont seem to have any order (well, Mid S and SE anyway)

I'd of put TORCH and SHRCCCCCCCCC into the South East in geographical terms, in terms of Regionals who knows!

[Darren Boyle]

I believe Paul Worsely has a "defined" map of who falls into where and both clubs by that map would be Mid South, but as was said a few months back (Northy maybe if I recall??) I "think" a club can run in whatever region it chooses to a point.......

Basically we are "Southern most section of the middle of the country" I guess.......

[mikeyscott]

Yup and hope to have TORCH on the calender in 2012

[jondell]

Simon you are the mutts nuts, love it

[mattybucks]

Cheers for ordering in some ball cups Simon, I feel honored to get a mention it the RC Lazy video cast. Did I say white ones? I meant grey as I also hate the white ones.

Only joking, i'll give you a call to purchase them tomorrow.

Try em you might like em. They make your car go quicker.....

Who else prefers white ball cups to the horrible grey ones?
