Looking forward to it, should be another excellent days racing! :D

Just need to get some practice in now! :blush:

[josh_smaxx]

Jesus, doors opening an hour earlier than normal :| wow.

[turbo_brick]

Josh the doors open 1/2 hour earlier than Teeside did. Just because doors are open then doesn't mean you need to be there by then, it'll be usual time for booking in etc.

[xray boy]

hi i will be going but will it be alright to turn up and race and book in when i get there. cheers ryan

[woOdy]

thinking about doing this one guys? What sort of tyres u using 4wd?

[turbo_brick]

Ryan, yes you can book in on day but make sure when you book in you have BRCA number, PT number (if you have one) crystals etc please, many find it easier to write them all down so nothings incorrect and no mistakes made.

woody yellow minipins and yellow minispikes are most common used tyres

Drivernet 2008 will be running, hoping to have it on big screens in pit area aswell.

[Dalla]

OK,

For those that need to fit more racing gear into their cars, we have agreed use of the tables in the dining hall with the school. See the photo.

We would ask:

Please remember these are DINING TABLES during the week, so can you....

ENSURE THEY ARE ALWAYS COVERED, WE DON'T WANT ANY SHOCK OIL OR OTHER NASTIES ON THEM. ALSO CAREFUL WHEN SOLDERING, ANY DAMAGE WILL END UP BEING PAID FOR BY THE CLUB.

Thank you and enjoy your racing.:thumbsup:

[WHITTLER555]

Great track today, loads of features, a tidy run was pretty tricky but satisfying when you did it.

Competition was high and it was a close run thing to get in the 4WD A final!

The A final was a bit fraught but I was pleased with 4th.

The meeting ran pretty much to time on automatic and it was good to get back before 7.00pm.:D

[cmgreen]

Well Done to everyone at jarrow especially Pete and Ian with out you this wouldnt of happened. In my view the best indoor regional this series!

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[chrispattinson]

Well done to everyone that helped out and organised this event. The track was really good, and rewarded 5 minutes of concentration. Like Damo says, very tight to get in the A final 4WD, Im not even sure what tyres were best for the track, but the mini spikes I went with seemed to give a good balance. Im happy overall with 5th 4WD, bit disappointed with my DNS in 2WD, thought 3rd was there for the taking. Well done CG, very impressive qualifying effort!

[racdeaf]

i enjoyed the day at jarrow as was surprised myself to be in A final for 2wd and B final in 4wd to be honest.

[nobby]

who won / who was in the a finals?

[Kash]

Really Good meeting guys well done :thumbsup:

No, Jim Dixon was third, even though I took him out on the big jump from behind! OOOERRR!

James broke his car mid race whilst he was about 3rd or 4th....

I slept in and only made last 2 rounds. So B final 2nd was best i could muster... :cry:

Track was awesome i thought...

[chris68nufc]

Track was awesome imo. I think the meeting lacked atmosphere though trackside as the track filled the hall and we pitted elsewhere. If only i had remembered to swap my PT from my cars a bit better. Good show Neil. You did well to qualify where you did from the time you had.Quite annoying really!!

[Adam Skelding]

I'm off to get my eyes tested again.:wtf:
God knows what I was reading on the T.V. (Which was very nice touch in the pitting area.)

Thought the track was ace. If the first part of the mad jump in the middle had a little longer 'table' before the down slope it would have been ever so slightly better, also just a little further away to take the temptation away to do 'big air' moments which looked kinda crazy for the marshall in the middle.

Ace track though.:woot:

[Mike Hudson]

Really liked the track, all the features were really good and rewarding to get them right each time and it flowed well :) I do wish the heat of the hall was kept abit better though as grip levels on the slippy all day was so awful to drive on, wasnt so bad with 4wd but with 2wd you had to go at crawler speed over the slippy so you didn't fish tail! Was more of a choir than racing in 2wd over the slippy bits, with abit of carpet over the really slippy corners it would have been my favourite track of the indoors series so far but others might of disagreed to this other than that I thought it was great meeting and forward to future meetings held by jarrow :)

[turbo_brick]

Adam we initially tried making the first jump longer, but it made being able to see the straight harder.

Mike the temp in the hall, the problem was the switch for the heat lamps was knocked off this means the lights would take about 50 mins to get to full brightness again, thus we had to switch the normal lights on and that means no heating.

Apart from that thanks to the people who made the journey up here, hope you didn't all have altitude sickness being this far up:lol:.

Fair enough - It was just a thought.

Altitude sickness - nah. Sun-burn - Yes. It was almost sub-tropical.... Are you sure Jarrow is in the North :confused:

[Dalla]

Hi,

I have finally got round to loading the photo's I took onto photobucket, not brilliant but the Sony cybershot isn't the best for this sort of thing.....

http://s282.photobucket.com/albums/kk280/DallaRC/20090208_Jarrow%20NE%20Indoor%20Regional/

If anyone else has some photos I would like to get copies if possible, first for the JORCR website and also for the school.

Jeff could I get a copy of all the video you took?

Thanks and enjoy...

[Shifta]

Hi here's a couple of vids from the Jarrow Regional 8/1/09..
Unfortunately who ever had my camera decided to follow me around in 4wd and not the battles further up the field but better than nothing :thumbsup:

Great video there jeff. Harveys arm is steady on the camera. Its good to see a certain F1 driver cut the track after he makes a mistake.... its about 2 mins and 50 seconds in...

Did you watch the Start were Adam got punted off by car 3 then in next turn car 5 basically they used is car as a brake. Started 2nd and was 10 th by fourth corner.
If we had any referess?? at the meeting may be the F2 and F3 would not have cut the track as they could not negociate the obstacle in front of the Rostrum.
I would have probaly disquailified about 6 drives if I had been a ref.

hope car 2 was one of those 6 :p

I saw no reason to give a penalty to give a penalty to James Chappell.

Its horrible when you make no mistakes and another driver takes you out. And if 2 or 3 do it within a short space of time then its very frustrating. But all you can do is battle on, keep it clean and try your best. After all 2 wrongs don't make a right...

I started 7th or 8th, cant remember, and managed to take it slow and drive round the few cars that crashed, and the drivers behind me followed me, very slowly for the first 4 or 5 corners. Its just a mutual understanding that you follow like a train for the first lap or so before settling into the race. It seems the guys at the back of the grid understood this. Why not the guys at the fornt. It is very frustrating.

I cant comment on individual take outs, as I was racing, butI think we should make a point of keeping it tidy for atleast the first lap. Why is everyone so desperate to challenge in the first 20 seconds, when we have 5 minutes?

How about a beep to start the race, and a beep after 20 seconds to start overtaking?

[Col]

Because it's a race, not a formation driving lesson

[chris68nufc]

Chris. We have talked about this before. Theres nothing worse than setting off 1,2 or 3 in a final and getting wiped out by somebody far too keen to make a move on the 1st corner. If somebody does that to you then the whole of your race is over. If you get wiped out 3 minutes in it is a totally different feeling as you just get back on track again. It should be a gentlemans agreement that the 1st lap should be took easier in finals.
Not formation driving but just idy driving.

[chrispattinson]

Because it's a race, not a formation driving lesson

It would be a race over 4mins 40 seconds, and not just pot luck by trusting the idiot from behind doesnt use your car as a brake in the first corner. Its just a race with a rolling start.

Or you could have a 5 minute 20 race, with no overtaking in first 20 seconds.

[Col]

Chris, it's not like you're racing in the bottom final - you're talking about the A!! It has to be assumed that anyone who is good enough to get into the A in our region has the talent and restraint to be able to drive in the correct manor (having bever made the A, I wouldn't know)
So in theory these are the best in the region

Yeah, fair enough Col, I was just throwing an idea around.

[sosidge]

Any idea when the results will be uploaded?

[Lee]

You would think so wouldn't you.

Some people just get too excited and the red mist decends, i am a slow starter in qualifying and finals i would rather lose a second on the first lap than get caught up with someone and lose 5.

[Richard Lowe]

Its just a mutual understanding that you follow like a train for the first lap or so before settling into the race. It seems the guys at the back of the grid understood this. Why not the guys at the front. It is very frustrating.There's always two sides to a story remember, being an F1 running at regionals can be hard work depending on who you are racing against and the flat out speed difference between different people. When there's a couple of seconds a lap difference between the top and the bottom of the final, the closing speed between cars can be really high and hard to react to.

Looking a the video of the track (wish I'd been able to go!) it looks like it rewarded being a bit steady, so there may have been cars in the final who didn't have the ultimate speed of the top few. Combine high closing speed with a tight/narrow track and you are going to get cars running into each other!

Totally agree and I think sometimes the A final is suprisingly clean with some excellent close racing, but there is the odd occassion where a pile up occurrs... But at the end of the day I dont think there's anything wrong with the rules or the way we currently run events...

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Any idea when the results will be uploaded?

nope and there still not there

last round @ Batley are up

come on Jarrow

[turbo_brick]

come on Jarrow

BRCA North East rep has the results, they were sent asap to them after the regional. Jarrow has done all it can to provide the results so barking up the wrong tree with 'come on Jarrow' :)

Hopefully they will be displayed soon but please direct any comments towards those who can do something about it :thumbsup: rather than Jarrow club who can't.

Thank you

(mrs) turbo_brick

No hopefully it highlights that it has been missed incase it's been forgotten about, people are only human after all and that clubs are being blamed for not publishing the information when they have done all they can :thumbsup: so there is clearly no point in comments such as 'come on Jarrow' as we can do nothing more about it. No club wants to look incompetant when they have fulfilled their obligations already as a club providing the relevant information. Hopefully now it's understood that after the results are sent by a club it is beyond the clubs control what happens with the information provided.

[chris68nufc]

Pulled yourself right back out of that one Mrs Brick:p
