BRCA Mid South 2wd Regional - round 2 - Herts Nitro Model Car Club - Sunday June 5th

[Delves]

Have to say hat off to the HERTS crew, I really enjoyed the track and thought the meeting was well run. Look forward to racing there more in the future

Good job guys.

[Sabesto]

Not meaning to sound a knob about the rules, just think these things sometimes get overlooked! The venue definitely has a lot of potential.

[hazeandfizz]

Great job today guys, very well run meeting on a very nice track.

Thanks,
James.

[Darren Boyle]

Echo everyone else comments, the day was very good, just a shame the rain came for the last two legs of the A which shook things up a little..

Full A final overall from memory was....

Karl Jackson - Ansmann
Lloyd Storey - Schumacher
Simon Reeves - TLR
Tony Evdoka - Vega
Matt Owen - Vega
Darren Boyle - X-Factory
Alex Carter - Vega
Richard Ralph - TLR
Kevin Hunt - X-Factory
Paul Upton - TLR

Track was a huge size, nice and fast and as said when "ironed out" with the sand and markings etc will be awesome. I did have a chuckle this morning with the ramps and in particular down ramps after "jump gate" at DMS 2 weeks ago and shared a private joke with a few people about it, but to be honest they were fine really.....

Look forward to coming back, well done to Karl on the win (who says locals dont have an advantage ) and if anyone needs a babysitter then just ask "uncle Tony" as Kev Lee will vouch for...LOL

Kevlee . Cheers mate . Yes this is my first regional win. Also my First regional for about 10-12 years i think . Hope to c u soon . All the best with the family.

Richard Ralph Thanks .
As for the Tyres as Ian has allready said we didnt know about this. That would have been a Very easy fix if someone had said to us about it.
As for the jump yes your right you couldnt see all of the down ramp. This i will take the blame for at the jump only went on to the track for this weekend .


Many thanks

budgio ,, Thanks mate. Yes u missed at great meet. It wasnt an easy day due to the fact i havent driven a 2wd car in the wet for about 12 years and it rained for leg two. But a few changes to the car for leg three and the car was spot on .



Delves , hazeandfizz , Glad u had a good day. Thanks . Cu soon

DMS racing ,,, Thanks Darren, Yeah the weather did change things a bit . C ya soon

I really enjoyed the track and facilities.

I even liked the sand taking some grip away - seemed more off-road like that and added to the challenge

i think i will stand on a crate next time though, i struggled with perception on some of the corners

Matt

Hi Matt,

Do you think a crate would be a suitable amount of height? I know one of the intentions of HNMC is to raise it up by about 1-2feet with a wooden platform.

Personally i didn't think it was needed, but then im quite tall so its handy to know if thats something to push for to be done quickly.

[Matt-h]

I would prefer about 2ft to be fair.

I did like the fact the rostrum had plenty of room though.

I dont think it is a must, just personal preference i suppose

[RudeTony]

I think some valid points but for a first regional on such a new track I personally think it was brilliant.
The organising personnel are great and that includes the people behind the scenes and not just Ian and Karl which are on the front line.
I think this club is going to grow and grow and I also think with some fine adjustments here and there it will be good enough for a National.
The only issues I had was with Karl – he is just too bloody quick man! – LOL – well done mate – you drove just fine and you deserved the win (sorry for the tap)

[racingdwarf]

nice one carl, Thing is,all they had to do to beat you was shout "carl jackson FUEL!" you would have been looking for the pit lane

[chuckie stella]

Tony E - you was rapid at this regional - just a reminder that you have to now do it at the National - LOL
