TORCH Summer Series Supported by Schumacher Racing - Sunday 11th August

[forbesy]

Really good day again at torch. Close fast racing and well run so thanks to chris for that.

Great banter under the rudebits gazebo as usual.

Roll on the next one

[Kosmickid]

Awesome day!! Was a tad wet in the morning but dried up within a couple of heats and we were treated to fabulous sunshine.

A Few Thank You's:

Shaun M - For the excellent advice on getting the Durango working as it should, although my driving is crap, its massively helped keep my attention on learning to drive rather than coping with a slip slidey car. Cheers!

Alex - For the advice and last minute help with providing me with a servo saver which munched itself before the 3rd Final. Thank You.

Chris & Crew: A really well run meeting with lots of track time and practise and a more challenging new layout.

4WD B Group drivers - Sorry i don't know all your names but Thank You for the little hints, tips and advice. Ade for the tyre suggestions which helped massively.

Forbesy - Thanks for the Hauler bud. Will keep my mum quiet from having my stuff all over he kitchen table

Tony-Rudebits (I think it was) - For the fantastic commentary and I found it quite funny can you do this every week?

My cheap shite Argos Gazebo launching itself across the track. Thanks to the army that stopped the thing. I should really have pinned it down....oops! Just glad it wasn't during a Heat and no one was hurt.

Not too sure how many peeps know but i have the Cancer and Unfortunately I'm back in Hospital tomorrow for another round of Chemo which does funny things with my hands, feet and coordination but ill sure be fighting at the back of the grid next Sunday.

For the last 6-12 months I have its going to be a fantastic way to help ease the tension, stress and pressure. rebuilding my obliterated car during the weeks keeps me busy and out of trouble

Sam, thank you for letting me share your gazebo when it rained and glad I could help with the servo arm. BTW here is the link for the titanium turnbuckles set that fits the DEX210:

Thanks to all at TORCH for yet another well run meeting and an excellent day's racing, also to RudeTony for the hilarious commentary as others have said.

Looking forward to Wednesday when I can have a play with the DEX210

[hazeandfizz]

What a brilliant day, close racing with a quality bunch of people.

Nice to be part of such a great club.

Charlie even asked if he can race next time.

Thanks,
James.

Hi Sam. My heart goes out to you buddy. If our fantastic hobby can shield a bit of the agony you must be going through then it has to be good. I hope it will not be too long before we see you racing again.
As for the race meeting, the banter is probably what has stopped me from packing it all in. TORCH has a fantastic team running it, and a loyal band of racers who are always happy to help whenever you need it. Tony (MR.Rudebits) has been a great help to me over the past year, and more recently pitting and travelling to races with Rob Forbes has been a great advantage. His experience and encouragement has proved very helpful to me. (Thanks mate).
I wish you well. See you soon rocking and rolling at TORCH.

[hotrodchris]

To top everything off with good weather, racing a relaxed atmosphere and good banter we at TORCH had the pleasure of 2 new cars on the track the new Rudebits DB2 and a Durango 210 Vega and both performed well.
Thanks to all that attended.

[Gaz_Stanton]

Another great day on a great track! Thanks to all involved in making it happen

Hopefully when I've finished this bloody house move I can make the morning rounds as well. On the plus side, I didn't see any rain.

[Bernie_W]

Had great day, thanks to everyone that works so hard to make this the best track in the south.

Are the result going to be published on the web site soon, I believe I lost a couple of laps in my last final. I noticed that my transponder connector had almost fallen out of its plug.

A big thanks to Tony for his Commentary, did make me giggle.

Bernard

[hotrodchris]
