:woot:

[russmini]

Please answer asap Matt, Paul, John.

Can i run 2wd on Sunday.

Major probs with my 4wd, now 9.36pm and in all honestly, it's never going to be ready.

If not, then you may as well take me out of 4wd running.

Cheers, Russ.

[andoiwebb]

russ, bring it tomorrow to finish off, loads of racers there, loads of time in between heats, power, soldering irons, laptops. surely we can get your 4wd running for sunday?

[Dudders]

Ditto, bring your bits.... Loads of down time tomorrow.... We could build a car each tomorrow with ease!

[TARTMAN]

WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!!! and if all else fails, we have duct tape, a hammer and some WD40..........:woot::thumbsup:

[russmini]

I knew that would be the response, but honest to god, i've got bits missing, re-built Diffs, that now don't fit, as i thought a new part in the box was correct, as it turns out it's slightly longer and therefore does not fit in the casing...
Every servo horn under the sun, but not one that fits correctly.
I am now demoralised....
Steering stiff, cause 2 plastic spacers have vanished.

Etc etc etc....

I might bring it with me, so i can do the electrics install tomorrow and tomorrow night in the hotel room, but there's no way it's gonna be running.

I'd rather not run than run with a shodily built car, thats not going to work properly.

[TARTMAN]

with all us there, I am sure we can muddle through and get it going
what is it?:confused:

Mate, if you car is up to weight then there is no reason why you should ever not be allowed to run 2wd against 4wd, you have NO advantage!!

See you both days with 2wd :thumbsup:

Keep me entertained chaps as I'm sitting here waiting for an engineer to come so you're all toasty tomorrow!

I know Area51 is a new venture to our club and we don't know if it's a success yet' but I'd just like to thank a few people without whom tomorrow wouldn't be happening.

Puppy
Jason
Lee
Rob
Scott
Tom
Ian
Steve

[reg]

good job to all involved,lets hope its one of many:thumbsup:

[russmini]

Well Done to Everyone.

See you all pretty soon


:thumbsup:

[russmini]

And we have the First Non-Attendee

Sorry guys, i will now not make it.

2 miles into my journey, my passenger rear brake decided it would suddenly stick on, resulting in 1 F***** Disk, Pads, and probably a whole load more.

Will see what i can do today for tomorrow, but to be honest, i think someone somewhere just didn't want me to attend.

I'll let you know for sure about tomorrow a little later, but best to presume i won't be there.

Very Sorry, but trust me, i'm a whole load more P***** Off than you.


:cry: :mad: :cry:

[hotrodchris]

Not good Russmini hope that you can get it fixed for tomorrow!

Well done Matt for your commotment to the cause, track looks awesome!

[PaulUpton]

[MrMagoo]

One of the best days racing I've had. Hats off to the track builders and designers for a great layout, good flow and excellent features. Really looking forward to 4wd tommorrow.

Thanks,
James.

[jamiew]

I really want you guys to be warm!!!!!!

[kaylon]

It was an amazing day today, I watched every second of it... Great day of racing, kudos to all the involved with the event and congrats to ALL the racers.

I'm racing at NBC tomorrow so I'll miss most of the qualifying rounds but watching the finals will round off hopefully a perfect day :D

Such a good venue and well organised event.:)

[av4625]

any links to the finals

[chuckie stella]

I know it's late and not many of you are likely to see this, however please bring warm clothing tomorrow as its going to be cold. Engineers have been trying for hours to get this system running again but it's not looking good. I hope everyone knows I would've tried everything possible. I have put the heating on in the empty office so we have a 'warm area' to visit :(

I personally apologise, again.

Matt

[hotrodchris]

Matt

What a great day! I was flat out asleep by 9pm last night on the sofa completely worn out with a smile on my face :thumbsup:

A massive thanks to the team for all the effort that clearly went in to the event. The venue was good (hopefully you get the heating back on today), meeting ran on time and the level of drivers attracted to the event was brilliant. Darren and Lees A final racing was just unbelievable.

Cant wait for Area 51 2013 (need to buy a 4wd so I can do both days though)

[Skelbo]

Thanks to all at Silverstone for a great race weekend. Great track, great racing and excellent organisation. Can't wait for next year. Thanks everyone.

[learnerdriver]

big thanks to matt and silverstone crew, fantastic day saturday, awesome track layout and very well organised event
roll on next year's meeting :-) :-) :-)

[DaSloth]

Despite having a fairly naff day today, this has been a brilliant weekend of racing and the silverstone team deserve a big congratulations for pulling off the big event they said they would.

It took alot of dedication from some of those guys standing out in the -0 temps at 7 in the morning and all the other work they got done during the day, keeping the track good and keeping everyone happy.

I hope we get something similar for next year and it also bodes very well for their national :)

[davidmog99]

Can someone tell me who won 4wd please?
Ive spent almost all day watching the live feed. It went off after leg three.
It looked like a fantastic day :) The finals were pure quality, the standard of driving was superb.

[frobes2]

Lee Martin..

[steveibbo1986]

No I final Steve ? ;)

4wd results now online - www.race-dates.com/area51.php (http://www.race-dates.com/area51.php)

Also put up the I Final from yesterday!! :thumbsup:

Great meeting both days!! Can't wait for next years.

Steve

[hotrodchris]

well run meeting today and didn't think it was that cold.
Hats off to Matt and all his crew!:thumbsup:

[Colin Kirkham]

Fantastic weekend, brilliant track ! thanks to all who made it all happen.
Here's hoping to be back in 2013 !

Cheers Colin :D

[TARTMAN]

After my terrible start to the day saturday, 4 and half hours late, half way there, return trip with the AA taking me home, car swap(head gasket gone) and hot foot it back to the venue....
missed practice and 1st round. but had a blast, won some bling....
LOVED the Short course to. and another trophy...

Hats off to you all.....

Matt and Pupton........ WELL done.... your both great lads and was a pleasure to meet you, and all the team.:woot:

Very cold today and glad i had extra clothing. shite happens eh!!!

Some great racing and close finals for the top boys and the lower ones.

Short course was fun to, but also some close racing had by us as well....

a 2 and a 3 place for the SHRCCC team!

GREAT Weekend!:woot::thumbsup:

[chuckie stella]

Finally home after I can't remember how many hours. I just wanted to thank everyone who came and raced etc. I've got loads of thank you's to do and I don't want to miss anyone so I'll do it some other time and just go to bed I think.

Can't believe I've caught man flu, see what happens when you don't have a good drink for four days!!! :woot:

[freddie]

Excellent job by the silverstone club :thumbsup:
great track an venue :thumbsup:

[JamesRumble]

Many thanks to all who made this weekend happen, whilst I wasn't as quick as I would of liked (never am of course) I really enjoyed myself and would welcome this as a regular event on the calendar. Thanks Guys.

[AmiSMB]

Must say a big thank you to all of the Silverstone crew and many others that really made this a fantastic event. Being on that side of things I know what is involved and you did great.

I ended up learning loads more about setup on both days but as per usual just cracked it for the final round of quali in 2wd and did better with 4wd making it better and better through each round after some with some consultation with Chris Bowater, Andy Griffiths and Dave Belsten, Jon Dell, Mark Dell, Alan Dell who put me on the right track! Then I was able to be consistent in R3 and R4 and then made a further change for the final and made it even better. Thanks for your help guys!.

Looking forward to another Area 51 one next year!

Cheers

Grant

[JBL]

I would like to say a thankyou to Steve Ibbo, Chris Ely and Scott Faulkner who manned the gate and parking with me over the weekend. Many thanks to all the competitors who followed the site rules as required.:thumbsup:

The racing was great all weekend, throughout all of the finals, I had a poor day with having no time to set up my x2c on Saturday, but after waiting for the heating engineer until 12.30am this morning! I managed to get it sorted out for today. Qualified 8th in the G final with all the 4wd's using my x2c 2wd.

Despite having a fairly naff day today, this has been a brilliant weekend of racing and the silverstone team deserve a big congratulations for pulling off the big event they said they would.

It took alot of dedication from some of those guys standing out in the -0 temps at 7 in the morning and all the other work they got done during the day, keeping the track good and keeping everyone happy.

I hope we get something similar for next year and it also bodes very well for their national :)

[RDG 40]

Curious what cars was bloomfield running? The 22 and what 4wd?

[russmini]

Losi XXX4G+

[andy reeves]

Big well done to everyone that helped put on this event. Had a really good time there on Saturday. The track was probably the best I have raced on indoors.

Looking forward to the next Area 51 meeting :thumbsup:

[RobW]

Huge thank you to all involved in organising and running the meeting. Hope you all got some much needed sleep last night.

Venue, track, organisation, commentary, food, racing was all excellent. Heating was outside your control and to be honest once racing started on Sunday I forgot all about it.

Hope you will consider running again next year once you have recovered from this one. :thumbsup:

Cheers

Rob

[jamiew]

Big thanks to the silverstone crew great venue and track.Struggled all day with my car had alot of breakages but thanks to lee martin for the spares to get me goin again and dudders etc for helping me getting it goin for my final:thumbsup:

Check out the results here www.race-dates.com/area51.php (http://www.race-dates.com/area51.php)

Paul Upton took the crown over the two days, even though he had three pit stops in the final and still came through to win the race. :thumbsup:

[JCJC]

Is it me or has Steve not added the Short Course yet.

[Dudders]

What happened in Short Course??????

Top 3

Pupton
Dudders
Tartman

[TARTMAN]

Based over the 2 days...............

Loads of fun doing short course!

Need to do more!:thumbsup:

What happened in Short Course??????

[JCJC]

my mistake...........

[frobes2]

I just have to say the same as everybody else really...

A Big Thank You to all the Silverstone Crew and the other helpers etc. they certainly know how to organise a weekend of RC racing!!!!

Track was, as usual, amazing and the venue and facilities all good, big thanks to Matt, Paul, Spencer, Scott, Lloyd, Richard and the rest for everything, sorry I don't know everyones names.

Also thank you to all the team drivers that helped us lower drivers out with all their information/parts.

Team Extreme for my set up (Vega & X11)

I just have to mention the actual racing especially from the top drivers, absolutely first class. All extemely fast and smooth but also really clean and fair. Well done to Lee Martin for the 4wd win and also Elliot Boots for the third leg A Final win, well deserved.

Can't wait for the next one, maybe the Winter National in Feb..

on a side note, cheers to Kev, Tony and Lee for the stickers lol...

Scott..

[RogerM]

My thaughts are simple .... THE BEST INDOOR TRACK I'VE RACED ON THIS CENTURY!!

To add balance, as there is always room to improve, you could have painted the track markers white or something to make it look a bit smarter (didn't affect the ability to see them though ... it was fine as it was).

Great work to the guys involved, a credit to each and every one of you.

[RoyalCBR]

Awesome event, well done Matt Owen and the other guys at the Silverstone Club - you are legends :thumbsup:

[Ross]

Losi XXX4G+

Did i read it correct in Jimmy's report, the XXX4G+ was released in 2003 ??

[Adam F]

Just to reiterate everyone else's comments, what a weekend!

Awesome track, organisation and overall an awesome event.

A real credit to all involved! Thanks girls!

[ghostdogg]

Hi Guys,

A big thankyou for all to putting an amazing event on!!

The track was amazing the organisation was amazing, the other racers where amazing.

and I was shockingly bad at the weekend!

When can I book in for the next one?

Cant wait

Oli

[Darren Boyle]

Did i read it correct in Jimmy's report, the XXX4G+ was released in 2003 ??

Yes indeedy, it is THAT old...... :D

[_sleigh_]

God, that even makes me feel old.

[jaywestwood]

Has anyone got any video's from the wknd?

[DaSloth]

there are some videos of the 4wd a-final on neobuggy.net already, i guess more stuff will come online as people have time to upload vids :)

[Collegeboy]

fantastic weekends racing, very well organised and maintained by Matt and his team. A massive thankyou to you all.

We had some problems Saturday with electrics, but got that sorted by R1 so Sam could race. Electrics back in my car Saturday night in the hotel room ready for Sunday :thumbsup:, finished of the red wine and went to bed dreaming of doing well. I never have such luck, struggled with getting a balanced setup for most of the day :confused:.
But all that aside, the atmosphere the whole weekend and the people we were pitting with both days, made up for.

Thanks again Matt, Paul and all the team. Cannot wait till the next Area 51

Happy racing

[Ross]

Yes indeedy, it is THAT old...... :D

:o:o:o cant wait to see Darren with an up to date car then :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[matdodd]

Id just like to echo what everyone else is saying.
Well done to all involved on a great meeting :thumbsup: I wish I could of made both days now and I hope you run another meeting next year.
It was a great track, I was a little skeptical of some of the jumps when I saw the track but after driving it they all work well and it was probably one of the best indoor tracks iv raced on.

[carrot]

A massive thanks to everyone involved at the weekend,really enjoyed it.The track was great to drive,the organisation and the way the meeting ran,RR on the mic was "special":thumbsup:.Roll on the next one

[budgio]

Hats off to the Silverstone crew for yet another great event.I can honestly say it was the best meet i,ve ever been to.
A brilliant weekend !!
Thanks chaps.

[Hole Digger]

What a weekend of racing!! Will done to all involved in putting it together.
Congratulations to all the class winners. And for those not so lucky, our time will Come one day??
Lets hope it’ll happen again!:thumbsup:

I've thanked the chaps that helped organise and setup the track in previous posts. So now it's time to thank the people that stayed behind after such a LONG weekend who helped tidy up and start to pack things away.

Puppy
Jason Bing-Low (not well known, however this event would simply not have happened without this man and he's still packing things away with me today!!)
Spenner (and Mrs)
Storey (not Jimmy, he left to get his legs warm)
Scotty
Cockers
Jim Gardner
James white
Richard Gardner

We may run this event next year and will certainly run white hosing, we simply ran out of time to fit anything else in this first time.

Lastly, thank YOU for coming, racing, not moaning, making it a pleasure to host for great drivers/people and your generous feedback!!!:thumbsup:

Aren't you supposed to be in sunny Portugal mate? :)

[tony12795]

Best raffle yet mate...... :)

Apart from you hiding my prizes and me blaming boots!!!

Bloody good raffle prizes too! What do you think mr Parr??:woot:

[Getpip]

It was a great venue and a great track. I will certainly be back if you do it again.
A suggestion for next time .. Perhaps there could be trophies for the top 3 in each final.

[Gonky]

Aren't you supposed to be in sunny Portugal mate? :)

Yeah, but they have internet access in the bars! How's the trophy dremmeling coming along? :p

[monkeynuts]

Yeah, but they have internet access in the bars! How's the trophy dremmeling coming along? :p

get back to your beer drinking :drool:

[JBL]

Just to let you know, the Area 51 GP facility is now empty of all of our goods. The Director of the site has given Matt and I positive feedback about the event from all concerned.

Matt will post more about the conversation in due course.:thumbsup:

Personally I would like to thank all of the competitors and visitors to the event for following the necessary rules of the site , I was slightly concerned about loosing my 12 year working relationship with the land owners if things did go wrong. But I really didn't need to worry about anything.

Thankyou
Jason Bing-Lowe

[chris2005bikes]
