So if you've seen the RHR Dirt video you may be interested in racing there this sunday!

We haven't had much prep time so it wont be looking quite as pretty as it did at the oOple race, but still races great! The weather forecast is allover the place but fingers crossed it will actually stay fine! :D

[coleman758]

Can't wait!

Looking forward to camping over too!
its great to be able to have a beer (Or 5-6-7) with you racing pals, Not something you can do on a Sunday haha!

[reg]

[Br00kie]

[James]

[neallewis]

Car prepped, up in 5 hours to get a shower and out the door down the A1.

[coleman758]

GREAT DAY GUY!

The track was as good as ever! Well organised :D a credit to the guys from york! Looking forward to more Dirty action next year!

[James]

Don't be afraid of damp dirt folks! Was wet and covered in puddles yesterday and damp all day today but ran perfect! Better than I ever expected, if you weren't there you really missed out! Thanks to all who came :)

[discothesnake]

Glad it went well. I really wanted to attend this but with the forecast not being great didn't want to risk the four hour drive down to be told it wasn't on clay.

Just need to wait til Invernational next year :bored:

I think the damp clay today was better than the dry/dusty clay at the oOple race. Also because it was damp it kept the dust down so all the cars came off pretty clean.

There was miles more grip too!

[Shifta]

Another cracking days racing on the dirt!
It's a shame there wasn't more people there, their loss though..
Really enjoyed 4wd and plenty back flips to boot :lol:
2wd was a bit of a struggle with the C4.1 on the damp bits, after a few laps with Gregg's SVR I could see what I was missing:bored: a rear motor is on the shopping list for next year:thumbsup:
Thanks to all at RHR for giving us this great track to race on!:drool:

You lucked into that 3rd place boss, I had third wrapped up and was hunting down Rich when my car stopped on the last lap :cry: gutted.

Great weekend though, hard work on Saturday getting the track into a race-able state, but a great days racing yesterday and so so so lucky with the weather. It just started to rain as we got the covers on last night! :o

Thanks to everyone who came.

[Jabber]

Was a brilliant day on a awesome track, the hard work you guys did was well worth it. You now know it works wet or dry. My tyres dont even look like they have been used with hardly any wear but still had loads of grip.

[James]

Bleeh, I was leading 'till I crashed and then jumped into the rostrum though, oops :lol: - and you Murrayd yourself saying you were bored :wtf:

Having said that - along with I think it was the players 2012 I think its the quickest I've seen you drive ! third in round 3 wasn't it?

[Northy]

2nd in round 3 actually :lol:

[James]

I'll shut up now :p

[john333]

Wish I could have been there, it looked great and I bet you all have relieved grins on your faces this morning because the weather today is dire!

[Richard Lowe]

2nd in round 3 actually :lol:
Pikey bin tyres FTW
