Want to say thanks to the guys for today, well run and organised meeting!

Altough a car landing shock tower first of the table top into my foot is very painfull!

I think the track was a little busy, lots of blind spots and not quite wide enough for passing slower vehicles! That said if you got it right it was very rewarding!!

I enjoyed it.

Your right about the track, but for a Christmas Cracker it is great - for a regional or champ series not so great. A marshals nightmare, but for the event it was, it was extremely well suited and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[Tim Ward]

I personally loved the track, very technical. However, as mentioned, it was a marshaling nightmare. I guess that to get that track length into such a small hall it was always gonna be hard. In the lower heats you couldn't do a lap for cars crashing in front of you!!!

Still, really enjoyed my day.

[Chrislong]

Alan said something about the small hall yesterday when I was talking to him, I thought it was of a good size really. Crossovers do give more track length to an otherwise short lap, but without them I reckon its a great venue, its a great club too. I tend to dislike crossovers as they create blind apex's which is bad, but yesterday was probably as good as they get and they worked for me.

I take my hat off to the guy who marhsalled my 2wd in round 3 under a crossover, he dived under head first at speed with other cars coming, thats bravery. So much so I didn't drive off til he was out and safe.

Loved the rostrum,maybe something they could do for the next few winter series rounds? Much better than those wobbely white chairs! Especailly if youve had a skinfull the night before!

Hurry up Bizzle

Really enjoyed the day, the cracker was aimed to be a fun yet competitive meeting and it certainly ticked both boxes, well done BMCC & PBM Racing, fingers crossed it can become an annual event

I took bundles of photo's and am just going through them, when I've finished I'll stick them on photobucket.

Apologies for the quality, had to ramp the ISO up a lot so they are a bit noisy but as a first attempt they'll do. Apologies to anyone caught while Mr Brook was wandering round with my camera .
