Jarrow Outdoor 4WD Regional 2008

[Dalla]

Details for JORCR 2008 Outdoor 4WD Regional

Sunday 27th April (4WD)

Unfortunately no camping on site, hence we are running 4WD only.

We will be opening up at 8am.

We will have use of the school facilities i.e. toilets, but sorry electric will be for race control only, so bring your 12V batteries/generators.

We intend to arrange a burger van on site for the entire day or Morrisons is 5 mins away and will be open 10am - 4pm.

We have plans for the track and can ensure everyone that it will not be flat grass.

This is our first regional at this new venue, so please come along and support us. Remember it is the best 3 out of 4 and this is the first round, so you might want to get some early points on the board.

Find us at:

Jarrow School
Field Terrace
Jarrow
Tyne & Wear
United Kingdom
NE32 5PR

Yep, its cheap and quick, except i can only afford the car, so i might just be pushing it around :p

[mattym0310]

I'll be there with the pred! :) Is the surface just grass but with a few jumps/? similar to York or NERCR outdoor tracks???

It'll be good to get back outside and some more regionals! but I think the North East needs more tracks, I'm sure there were more than 4 last year :confused:

[ben]

Bury metro arent in our region this year matt :)

[mattym0310]

Yeah i know ben

[Northy]

but I think the North East needs more tracks, I'm sure there were more than 4 last year :confused:

There are more than 4 tracks on the calendar Matt, there are 5!
If you want more tracks do something about it - don't moan on a public forum.

G

[AndyM]

don't moan on a public forum.

G

G i don't think Matty was moaning; he was just stating his opinion.


I can't wait to get outside either, :) looking forward to trying the Pred outdoors.

[Northy]

G i don't think Matty was moaning; he was just stating his opinion.


Andy, I've never seen an opinion with question marks after it :p

G

[AndyM]

LOL, well he was asking a question then :thumbsup:

:)

[ben]

lol Graham. I think we need to get something sorted about a york permanent track. It seems to have gone a bit quiet again :( Did anything come of darrens idea of the grass tracking venue?

ben

[chrispattinson]

Looking at the calendar, it seems that local knowledge will count for nothing this year, apart from the Batley 2WD. Does anyone think this will influence the results?

I cant wait for this outdoor season, really looking forward to Jarrow!

[Lee]

I think the fast guys will still be fast chris but it does make it a bit more of a level playing field for those of us who dont have a local track.


I cant wait either,i just hope its dry:(

[turbo_brick]

I'll be there with the pred! :) Is the surface just grass but with a few jumps/? similar to York or NERCR outdoor tracks???


Sort of it's starting off as a relatively flat piece of grass, but Chris Clarke has big plans for it. When he gets back from the 1/12th euro's I should know more.:)

"Should" confident there Lee :lol:

[Lee]

Well, you never know what can happen:confused:

[chrispattinson]

First regional with TRF501X !! Should be faster than last years (CAT 2000 EC).

[Lee]

Chris are you doing the nats this year?

[chrispattinson]

Lee - not doing them this year, it seems a bit pricey, got scared by amount of money spent by some people, maybe in a couple of years, when Ive got a bit more money, and I'm a bit better with the car, its only my 3rd or so year of regionals. Im happy enough doing end of year finals.

Just checked the latest 16day weather forecast, Sat 26th April sunny with showers, Sun 27th for the Jarrow regional................... Cloudy but dry, with sunny intervals :thumbsup:

[Dalla]

Chris,

where did you get your 16 Day forecast?

I just want to check the week before. It might not be the weather on the day that is the problem, but how much water the ground has soaked up and how quickly the grass cuts up :(.

Keeping fingers crossed.

Ian

guess i'll be running me antique lazer zx5 then lol:pwill be good to race with da boys from hull again:drool:what 2wd do you run neil:confused:

[Lee]

I`m not sure if this has happened yet but there was talk of a set of "guidelines" for the NE section as to track designs, stuff like "if the car is jumping more than 12" off the ground there should be a down ramp.


Maybe our NE BRCA supremo can say if there is a set or if there will be one issued?


Im looking forward to getting back on grass, as long as its not muddy:lol:

If there has been talk it wasn't mentioned at the consortium meeting, as long as people remember they would only be guidelines, not BRCA regs. Might just give the moaners something else to moan about if tracks don't fully comply to the guidelines for whatever reason.

Its very easy to be critical of tracks, organisers do what they can, but different clubs can often be limited by time, cost, equipment and often manpower. By the way there is nothing wrong with grass!!

We need clubs to hold these meetings, we nearly lost a club this year due to the moans last year!!

I didnt know that simon:(:thumbdown:

I wasn`t having a go and im sure the "team" will do everything to the best of there ability and that is all we can ask.

I like grass, i have had my best results on grass :lol:

[Cockerill]

I like grass, i have had my best results on grass :lol:

Is that discounting results on any other surface?:confused:

[Lee]

Im crap on most other surfaces tom:lol:

Grass = Flat = touring car stylee :lol:

[notlawnomis]

I know you weren't having a go Lee, guidelines may be a good idea if used in a positive manner (i.e. to assist clubs in track design). As long as they don't become ammo for the moaners!!

[LEGEND]

After sorting my Pred out today i have just realised that i don't have a lift to get there. So unless someone is willing to give me a lift then i will not be able to make it.:(

[Lee]

Sorry G, ill swap threads.

" in reasonable volume
at any one time."


Is this still the case, i think its how you interperate "any one time" that could mean they were on sale for one day back in the 80`s or you should be able to purchase them at any time somewhere in the UK?


Personally i would take it as the second one as this would be fairer to everyone?

[Northy]

They are legal - end of story. Sorry Lee.

[Lee]

[josh_smaxx]

Thankyou Ben :)

[chrispattinson]

Ive just been reading through this thread again. Regarding guidelines, I dont think even 'guidelines' should be considered. The organisers of regionals are all experienced racers, and I think we are all capable of designing a track without anyone elses input. If a track is difficult to drive, its the same for everyone. I know, for example, that at NERCR we adhere to the BRCA rule regarding track width, and use our special calibration tool (a big stick) to check track width around the track. I know that if we took that calibration stick to some tracks, it would show that some tracks dont conform to this rule- but we dont complain about it, its the same track for everyone. As for down ramps, its nice to have down ramps, but it does take a lot of extra effort to incorporate them into a track build, and to be fair, I've been to big events (Holbeach F2 2006 finals springs to mind) with many large jumps that did not have down ramps. Lets leave track design ENTIRELY up to the hosting club without any input from non members of that club, to prevent upsetting that club, and just race round the OFFROAD track. Sorry if it seems like a bit of a rant, and its not directed at anyone in particular, just a general feeling about guidelines, . :thumbsup:

[djduncaz]

to rights pattas ....:thumbsup:

[Dalla]

To all those coming to Jarrow this Sunday.

Please Note, additional info in the header posting. Please check it out.

Thanks and see there.

[Northy]

Ian, can you please also post it in the 'official' thread, it'll get a bit lost in here.

Thanks,

G

[Dalla]

Done

[RCbob]

Are we allowed to put tents up on the carpark, i have a hilti drill to create some fixings to make sure it wont blow away. :thumbsup:


Just thinking of the grass, you know, save the world and all that:)

[Chequered Flag Racing]

After sorting my Pred out today i have just realised that i don't have a lift to get there. So unless someone is willing to give me a lift then i will not be able to make it.:(

if your still looking,

£85 will get you there ;) and something for fuel

pm a postcode cause @ the mo I plan to be there and I'll work out a time & route

[LEGEND]

No it is alright Glenn have mannage to pursuade someone to give me a lift. :lol: Anyway i will have the rest of the payment there on sunday so no worries.:)

[racdeaf]

LEGEND
if ya ask nicely we might take ya up

[LEGEND]

It is just that i don't like making people back track to come and pick me up, but if we were on our way to batley or somewhere else then i probably would have asked.:rolleyes: It is just that i know a person who wouldn't have to back track and has taken me a few places before so he didn't mind. :)

[racdeaf]

hey legend no worry.
u know where we are if ya stuck ok

[Lee]

2 days to go!!!

The weather is nice up here now.

My prediction is, its either going to be wet or dry.:thumbsup:

[chrispattinson]

Fingers crossed the grass has dried for cutting!

[Lee]

It does look a little long in the pic :woot::lol:

[josh_smaxx]

Does anyone know if its going to be dry on sunday then? we are getting bad forcasts for that area on here but i havent checked metcheck or anything yet.

[Lee]

[josh_smaxx]

be ok if you waterproof everything properly and tape up ur shell and avoid puddles :thumbsup:

True, but i dont think conespikes will work in that level of wetness either lol, and thats all i got.

[LEGEND]

I have a few pairs of rear tyres that you could lend, perfect for in the wet, i will be running my pred so the wheels won't fit, but they will on your B44. That sould hopefully be able to get you away, as for fronts you will just have to use what you've got. :)

[Lee]

Josh, they should be ok,if not im sire someone wil lend you some BB`s.

I think it only gets cancelled if there is a danger to peopleas in thunder and lightning or too slippy to marshall.

York was very wet last year and it still went on:thumbsup:

It just sorts the men out from the boys:lol:

[ben]

indeed lee. I will run in any weather haha. Are slim cars will go better though in the wet because they will slice through the puddles :lol:. Josh just tape the shell round to the under tray and blue-tak the receiver wires. Then bluetak the speedo sensor wire and stuff. And you will be sorted:thumbsup:

[josh_smaxx]

Ye thats what i was gonna do, it'll be ok.

Only thing, i wont be able to put a bag of any sort round my tranny coz it'll just fall off with the way i hold it :lol:

[chris68nufc]

What time does track building start? I will bring my car with me to try out the jumps since im not able to race tomorrow. Cant believe it especially with all of the local knowledge i have of this track. :thumbdown:

[chrispattinson]

Track building at 11 Am

[racdeaf]

Track building at 11 Am


chris
what time the race actually start ? so i know what time i set off in the morning

[josh_smaxx]

I hav read somewhere that booking in starts at 7:30 but could be wrong, im aiming for between 7:40 and 8ish.

[Lee]

It sayshe gates dont open till 8am so i wuln`t get there before then. I would imgine the first heat will be on about 10am:thumbsup:

[turbo_brick]

11am for track building was for today (Saturday)

Gates will be open from about 7.30am ish tomorrow so if you arrive a little early it should be ok, booking in will start from approx 8am.

Practise after that probably in heats

Weather isn't too bad here so far, had one shower this morning, every weather forecast we look at has been different so far, when it's been forecast for rain all day here it's been nice so we've given up looking and are just keeping our fingers crossed!

(Sorry mr turbo_brick isn't available so done my best to clarify for you, any more questions let me know and I'll try and get in touch with him, he's up building the track at the mo -- mrs turbo_brick)

[Antony]

chris
what time the race actually start ? so i know what time i set off in the morning

First heat usually starts just after 11am!?!

[chris68nufc]

Just back from the track build. Track has loads of jumps. There is a Table top jump that you have to give big licks to get it right and land on the down ramp in the middle of the track. Straight is very long.Think it could be an idea to gear up a bit! There is a cheeky jump on the start of the straight wich will be interesting. The rostrum is one of the best i have seen bar Holbeach/Teeside when they used the back of a lorry.Very good view from up there. Theres loads of space for pitting and no chance of cars getting stuck if it does rain as you cant drive onto the track area but only a short walk to pitting area. Hope everything goes well tomorrow and the rain keeps away to make racing close for all.Excellent track.:thumbsup:

[chrispattinson]

Just got back from track build.

Gear up for a long straight.

Here are comments from Mr. Turbobrick AKA Race director for Jarrow regional:

Gates open at 7:30.
Booking in from 8AM.
Practice to start soon after in heat order for those booked in online, and then seperate timed practice for those booking in Sunday morning, this is to try and control practice.

Round 1 Heat 1 on the line at 10AM.

[dave p hall]

sounds a cracker chris:thumbsup:realy looking forward to this:thumbsup:despite the drive from hull:lol:

[Richard Lowe]

I hope it stays dry, a long straight is the last thing you want with sloppy mud the get through and cars that weigh twice as much as normal thanks to mud stuck to them, thermal city.

Not trying to be negitive, just a warning :)

[jimarea51]

Hi all,

Just noticed that your planning on runing prcatice in heat format, although I think your decision is a good idea in principle, not everyone reads oOple and might not turn up ready to practise in heat format...

Is it stated anywhere in the NE regional section??

Also i think to do this you'd ideally need to post a heat listing for people to ensure threre ready to practice at the appropriate time....

How many rounds of prcatice are we having then??

thats a good point jim,im taking a charged pack any way:Done round of practice will do me:D

[chrispattinson]

Rich - I hope it stays dry aswell. My Tamiya weighs twice as much as most of these BJ4s anyway, but lets hope there's no sloppy mud! There is a long straight, but there's a lot of infield aswell, long laps!! So the percentage of time spent on the straight will probably be as per normal - if that makes sense.

Jim - good point, but I'd imagine that people will be given enough notice to charge a pack, if they arrive on time. I dont really know any details, I just helped put the ropes down and screw wood together.

[turbo_brick]

Ok another message from me as mr turbo_brick is now at work until after 4am, so I'll try my best to answer as he'll be getting 2 hours sleep max before we run everything tomorrow (so if he looks tired you know why!) therefore you'll have no chance of a reply from him before you set off......

Track straight- well there isn't much we can do about it now really, the weather so far here is cloudy but we haven't had any rain since about 10am, the school field we were told has good drainage. Just have to wait and see I suppose, pray for good weather.

When you come in there will be a practise heats list up for those who are already booked in, we already have the lists, when people come to pay/book in we will advise them of how things are running if required.

How many practise sessions? - depends on how things go on the day, if we get everyones practise started early enough then hopefully we'll get a few rounds in before racing starts. I think for me to say 'there will be 3 practise rounds definately' will be silly as then people will moan at me (and be ignored) if we don't fit them all in. I actually thought everyone charged practise cells in advance (can tell I don't race) but there should be enough time if people get their early enough to charge some, after all the gates are open from 7.30am.

F5 drivers, basically if you're new to it, would expect you to be in the early heats.

Chris I am pleased you like the rostrum because it's cost us a fortune :thumbdown: but I think now it's up it is well worth it, much safer than many I have seen used. Shame you can't be there tomorrow.

Food van lady phoned earlier to confirm, she'll be there hopefully from 8am ish for breakfast :thumbsup: so that's the important bit sorted!! (Because I'm not doing a BBQ this time!)

Right, hope that answers some of your questions, see you all in the morning :eh?:

(mrs) turbo_brick

PS we accept any complaints as long as they're written on the back of a £20 note :D other than that, accept the fact it's not a purpose built track, it's took a lot of work to pull this off, we're all only human and sometimes make mistakes but we've tried our best to make this a good event. Hope you all enjoy the day.

[chrispattinson]

Nice one Mrs Turbobrick, cant wait for tomorrow.

[paulc]

yeah im looking forward to it now and how long is the straight compared to batley longer/shorter :confused: just hope the weather stays fine

see you tomorrow

[chrispattinson]

The straight is about the same as Batley, but there is then a slight sweeper, only 45 degrees or so onto another short straight, which gives the impression of a long straight.

The straight isnt that looooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggg g, Ive seen lnger, I was just mentioning it incase anyone still had their tiny little pinions on from the indoor season.

[turbo_brick]

:thumbsup: No problem ChrisP, you can answer the technical stuff because I have absolutely no idea, well I do know what a pinion is, I think I've counted teeth on those before and how to hold a battery while he solders something on it, bar I think he said (hopefully without burning me in the process :o) but that's about as technical as it gets for me.

Oh and I know how to say 'well we're in Britain so you can expect it to rain at some point' which will no doubt be comment of the day tomorrow :lol: If it rains and the gazebo we're using tomorrow leaks then race control will be diverted to the car!!!

(Oh and did you save me any pizza? :( because mr turbo_brick didn't the meanie!)

(mrs) turbo_brick

[Lee]

Im sure it will b ace!! i cant wait now and its only 15 mins from me:thumbsup:

It sounds like you have all put in a lot of effort, but i think we need some more commitment from (mr) turbo brick, not answering questions at 4am is simply not on:lol:

Should be a good day though, we always have a laugh and abuse lil ben,i found out before i actually have a full set of BB blues that i used at kiddy last week thinking they were greens:lol::thumbdown:

[turbo_brick]

Lee is 3:15 ok, as for answering questions I believe between chris and my better half (as she likes to be called) have answered everything.


I'm now going to try and get a couple of hours sleep, see everyone in the morning.

[Lee]

Well done to lil ben on winning his 1st Regional!!!!!!!

His car looked the best by a mile and he drove superbly and looked super relaxed, and led home some F1 Factory drivers. Nice one Ben:thumbsup:

[josh_smaxx]

ACE drive Ben, was filming the whole things and you and Ben Riley got really close but you kept your cool and just kept going, good one!

Also, the meeting was well run, very relaxed and weather turned out quite nice in the end. Good effort from all the organisers and the track was AWESOME, loved every part of it.

[telboy]

Anyone get any pics?

Have you got the vid uploaded yet josh?

[Lee]

Josh got some cool pics, im sure once he has sorted through them he will put them somewhere for all to see

[josh_smaxx]

Im just going through the pics now, i'll put the vid on street fire but it could take all night to load, unless i find a way of cropping it down to go on youtube. Good battle between the Ben's at the beggining before Jemison pulled away. Oh and Ben, i still owe you £2 :woot: lol

[rcluke]

how did you and alex do josh ?


did walla and legend race also ?

[josh_smaxx]

I made the D and finished 6th, Alex was in the F but didnt start, Walla made the E but unsure of where he finished and Legend was in the C but again, unsure of where he finished.

[rcluke]

not bad that josh, only the 3rd time you have drove it right?

why didnt alex start?

he didnt strip the yellow spur did he :eh?:

[josh_smaxx]

I was pretty happy with my result, first time racing competatively, first time on grass ect.

Alex ddint start because his speedo kept cutting out, we havent solved it yet but we suspect its the reciever wire.

Well done Ben! I did my best to catch up after being 'Cockerilled' on the first corner but you kept you composure, first of many I think... ;)

Well done to the organisers too, very well run, good track (although I wasn't a fan of the smaller 'jumps') and the weather held off in the afternoon :)

[WHITTLER555]

Well done BEN! :thumbsup:The car looked very composed at the end of the straight even with the close attention of Mr Riley.

Keep it in third and fifth gear :lol:

[ben]

awww thanks for all the kind replys people :thumbsup::drool::D. I was struggling to hold my transmitter because i was shaking so bad :lol:

Josh there is some really good photos you have taken. Nice and clear. Good job :thumbsup:

[chrispattinson]

Well done Ben, you were absolutely flying!

I couldnt believe my shell flew off my car about 3 mins into the A, when I was in 3rd, absolutely gutted. Never mind though.

It was a really good day, my first outdoor regional with the Tamiya, and it felt very quick and easy to drive.

Thanks to the Jarrow committee for organising the event, it was a relaxed and enjoyable day.

[johnboy]

well done ben very good result

Adam, i filmed the backflips :thumbsup: and i film one of your laps, just for fun. I'll put the back flips on youtube now.

[rcracer]

Lol.. i bet people are imagining Adam doing backflips off the rostrum :lol:

[nobby]

thanks to everyone for coming hope you all really enjoyed the day and if the school come to us with any complaints it will be the last one.

almost everyone heeded are advice on the club and school rules apart from one or two people that didn't give a toss by pissing in the bushes facing the houses.

so a big thankyou to them for maybe loosing all of us from the northeast section a good venue for the regional and possibly jarrow loosing the club venue:thumbsup:the club were asking what we could do to the two tits in question to punish them but hopefully we don't take it any action against them THIS TIME.

maybe the 200yd walk to the toilets was to far for there blader (tossers)

but to those people that came and followed the rules and regs thankyou and i hope you all had fun.

welldone ben good drive and welldone to everyone else that went home with a trophy wherever you finished.

Thats a bit crap if people have done that, especially when there were compressors on site. 2 that i know of anyway:thumbdown:


People should know its wrong to stick there penis through a school fence :thumbdown::lol:

[Dalla]

Well said Nobby :thumbsup:

I wonder what they would do if I went round to their house and started pixxxing on the front lawn right in front of their neighbours and neighbours kids.

There was a lot of people put a lot of effort and gave up their own time to make yesterday happen, the club has lost money on the event and when you get people like that you wonder "why bother".

What makes it worse I understand they didn't even have the good grace to apologise, when confronted :thumbdown:

Like Nobby says I hope it doesn't have any long term repercussions:confused:

Thanks to all those decent people who turned up and made it a great day despite the weather.

No problem, its just luck really, if my camera has finally focused i take a picture of the nearest car :p

Haha, bit of time and money yet, but im taking a photography course at college so i should get better.

[ben]

Thanks josh:thumbsup:

[josh_smaxx]

Haha, i brushed some of it off the front and rear end tonight with a tooth brush but i'll wait till i have more time before i strip it down to clean.

Oh and to point out, in the first pic it was Ben and Lee's car after round one, in the second pit its Bens car STRAIGHT after the final, secret spare shell ??? :confused: way way to clean.

[josh_smaxx]

Ok, iv tried 3 times to upload the back-flipping vid to youtube and each time it says failed when its done, what the hell is going on? :confused: youtube allows 1024mb, mines 22mb, its 20secs long, it dont make sense.

[rcracer]

did you compress it first ?

[josh_smaxx]

No, i didnt think it needed it, as i say its 1000mb smaller than the youtube limit. Im trying it on photobucket now, see what happens, might have gone to sleep before its finished though so it might be in the morning.

[jimmy]

Who takes a decent photo, doesn't mind taking the more 'mundane' photos (like car internals) and would like to be North East reporter?

I race in the North West now so I can't come cover all the NEeast regionals - but it would be good to have some small coverage. A few photos and a few words / results. I can do the work of putting the photos in the gallery and making the webpage etc.
You can have all the credit of course - but ideally I'd like to get someone on board who will be at every regional and have the commitment to do something in terms of reporting. Its sometimes hard to find the time / motivation - so only looking for someone who's really keen. Also only looking for one person to do photos / one person to write (can be same or different people) since it's easier if there's no chopping or combining etc..

Anyone interested please PM me!! :thumbsup:

[turbo_brick]

Ok, think I better say something, now I've managed to catch up on a little sleep

Firstly a massive thank you, to those who made this day a joy to be part of and host. To those who came to help build the track and those who stayed to help put it away (including JORCR members and those who didn't race Keith S and Peter with the blue van!!! Thank you it was really appreciated) A thank you to Marine Scaffolding for providing (at a good price) a great rostrum, Elizabeth and Michael for the catering keeping everyone fed and watered on the day. To the school for allowing us to host this event and our fave caretaker who as always is great. Bill from NERCR thank you for your help with the computer issues and advice on the day. Thank you to those who helped collect the litter left by some other ignorant people after the event.

Ok, now what I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with, the negative stuff. This event was our first at JORCR (at the venue we and another club use) this took a lot of effort and funds (including from other members pockets aswell as mine) to host this event and I am disappointed that I have to deal with matters which should not have even happened, especially when most issues were caused by what are supposed to be adults.

We had several issues on the day, one of course as is obvious stood out more than the others.

We had complaints that when members of staff and volunteers asked for people to move their vehicles to allow for emergency access, they were rude and questioned being asked. This of course is disrespectful and should have not happened. I had to apologise on behalf of those who obviously forgot their manners on the day and hope that resolved this issue.

Bug 4 - This was returned smashed, possibly by a spur gear, noone owned up to it which I find very disappointing. We of course are aware fully of the members who used this on the day but it would have been nice to be informed as to what had happened.

Ok the last one, to follow on from this comment made
Maybe the person in questions has a servere but rare medical condition. We should consult their medical history before throwing round wild accusations.

I'm ok, I don't have any medical conditions becasue I am Vader :thumbsup:
The only medical condition which would require someone to IGNORE any common sense is a frontal lobotomy! My son suffers from a medical condition which causes incontinence and I find people trying to make fun of this disability disgusting. Due to his disability he is provided with continence aids (which others with this disability are provided with) from the local health authority and I would not allow this to be used as an excuse for public indecency including when he is older. Please don't comment on something you know absolutely nothing about and do not have to deal with on a daily basis.

JORCR's reputation aswell as the one of it's members and other racers has of course suffered due to this. The venue is now at risk due to the actions of one individual who decided to ignore the directions for the toilets and head to a bush. Opposite where he chose to relieve himself was a row of residents houses, one of which was hosting a child's birthday party. The person when questioned found his illegal actions funny. To bring down the reputation of other racers with him of course is disrespect to those who he races with. I will be very angry if this persons actions causes us to loose our weekly race venue as a club, as I am sure many others will be, we will have to just wait and see what happens with the official complaint and attempt to apologise for this.

I am hoping that no other hosts for regional events have to deal with an issue like this ever again.

Thanks for a get day JORCR, fingers crossed its not the last!!

I don't want to add to your post Peter, I think it says it all, the mentality of some people is appalling. However should something come of these issues and both clubs are put at risk due to these actions it should be discussed at one of the NE consortium meetings. Is this really the attitude we want from people racing in the NE region??

[Lee]

Is NERCR the other club that uses the venue also?

(Sorry for going slightly off topic there)



Also, has an official complaint been made yet ? :confused:

Yeah at the moment Lee we are using Jarrow on a Sunday afternoon, not sure on the other question!

Fingers crossed it will be ok.

Hey Josh, I talked to Ben last night about this and he mentioned you and him together possibly doing it? Do you wanna have a word with him and see what you chaps wanna do? :thumbsup:

[Adam Skelding]

Was i using the same camera as you? cool! I just put it in apeture priority, lowest apeture and ISO 400, i just work with it playing with apetures depending on what depth of view i want ect.

Adam, i filmed the backflips :thumbsup: and i film one of your laps, just for fun. I'll put the back flips on youtube now.

Post a linky when you've uploaded them..... :thumbsup:

[Lee]

Adam is the backfilp master :thumbsup:

Who will be the first to attempt a double back flip :woot:

the club has had an email from the school.

as yet i don't know what was in the email.

but it's besides the point people should have more respect.
what people forget is we the brca have children racing or coming along with there dads.
my wife came along with my two kids and i would of been more than unhappy if my kids had of seen these idiots.
my son wants to start racing but do i really want him to be around these sort of people?

I managed a backflip with a Nitro TC when we were doing some 'messing about' after filming a year ago.

Disclaimer: I can't condone this action in any way shape or form!!!!!

Double backflip has already been done with the Savage at Derby BMX track. As has the double front flip, which wasn't really planned. There's also a 'tail whip' on one of our promo DVD's. Savage is king for tricks and stuff.

Although after the weekend D4 is a Jedi in training. Also managed to pull a couple of backflips in my last final when I was in the states at the competition hobbies race. :thumbsup:

[josh_smaxx]

Hey Jimmy, ye i'll have a word with him, iv already written alot down of what i would like to put in for the jarrow one, i'll discuss it with Ben tonight.

I tried to load it to photobucket overnight but it didnt work, i'll do it tongiht DEFINATELY lol.

[Greg Williams]

Well done to the Jarrow members for putting on a great event, good track and a nice relaxed meeting. Some great photos aswell Josh and Neil, good job. Also well done to Ben for his first regional win, awesome driving all day and stayed nice and calm through your final despite the pressure.:D Just annoyed that I didn't finish a run all day.:(

Roll on the NERCR regional.:thumbsup:

Greg

[WHITTLER555]

Bug 4 - This was returned smashed, possibly by a spur gear, noone owned up to it which I find very disappointing. We of course are aware fully of the members who used this on the day but it would have been nice to be informed as to what had happened.


Hello, I used transponder yellow 4 all day in qualifying and I was in the last heat to run in round four.

I can assure you that when I handed it back in after round four it was in perfect condition.

I suggest it was someone in the finals that broke it, not the qualifiers.

[rcracer]

when do the results get posted :confused:

[josh_smaxx]

when do the results get posted :confused:

[Adam Skelding]

Hmmm.
It's good to see exactly how my car felt in the last round...

All squirmy and loose on the rear, like a bad curry.

Backflips - I never tire of them.

Telboy - "There's always one" Pah, if there wasn't one you'd have always wondered...could I!

Muhahahahahahahahahahahha:thumbsup:

[N7ELA]

Its a pity more real drivers like David Snee couldn't be there to show us ALL how its done...

[Lee]

I have only raced against snee 4 times last year and i beat him in 3 of the events.

He isn`t as quick as people think, plus his attitude is shocking and not really what you want the public seeing. (Give me someone peeing in a bush anyday):thumbdown:

[ben]

Hmm he hasnt raced properly for a long while though. Think he did durham indoor regional and thats it.
Just out of interest what classes him as a "real" driver?!

[Lee]

Snee wouldn`t of liked the rain, it would of ruined his hair:thumbsup::lol:

[darryl]

hey guys should you really be slagging people off in open forum???, opinions should really be kept to your self whether you like that person or not.

[Lee]

I wouldn`t call it slagging, i just think he does himself no favours with his attitude.

He might be a nice lad but the experiences i have had with him, he comes accross as if he isn`t winning then he will do anything to make sure you dont.

For instance, last summer at the catherine cookson meeting , vermin TQ`d i was 2nd and snee 3rd. Snee won the 1st leg i won the 2nd and snee broke it in the 3rd leg and was shouting and swearing on the rostrum with the general public watching the finals due to it being at a summer fair. He then proceded to throw his car off the rostrum in the direction of his tent, he managed to get the car fixed and then came back onto the track several laps down and takes me out.

So i would agree with redaV:thumbdown:

[darryl]

fair comment, :)

[djduncaz]

well snee will be at the shields event .... id put good money on him just turnin up and winnin it . infact pissin it :woot:

[Northy]

Your all on crack.....

G

[Lee]

Why would you say such a thing:thumbdown:

Dont you think thats a bit disrespectful to other drivers, the north east is one of the most competitive regions and has some very quick drivers, would you still put money on it if triple worlds a finalist (bradders) or even mr cragg turned up? i think not:thumbdown:

We even have people like rich lowe muliple national A finalist last year, same as tom cockerill and a few others.

[djduncaz]

just looked there and am gutted that there is not one of them little faces with a fishing rod doin a reeling in action ...(:o these kind of things. smiles) any chance of one bein added

[notlawnomis]

We all know your deadly serious Dunc, Snee being your love bitch and all, oooo Dave!! :p

You'll be sharing a tent at the regional??

[djduncaz]

i could of cracked a good one back about ppl bein called dave and gettin new a new bike 4 xmas n all that but i wont ..

not sure if am goin 2 shields yet as i mite be in las veges on a stag do.

[N7ELA]

Aye throw out some bait and the fish will bite your rod in half...

Actually Lee your right, david snee is a foul mouthed ruffy-un who can't drive. If He'd thrown his car off the rostrum and shouted flippin hell when i were there i would of phoned the Police. ( a say, a say)

Can anyone remember what year he won the 2WD Nationals....???

[Lee]

I never said he couldn`t drive, i said he doesn`t do himself any favours with his attitude.

Totally different:thumbdown:

It`s obvious he was quick, but up here he seems to have a godlike status that he fails to live up to.

[djduncaz]

ya right like neil .... some one pissin in front of kids is better then a few foul words . when i worked 4 the councal a guy had 1 arm and he needed a piss while out doin his paper pickin job . He lobed it out and started pissin at the side of a school just as the kids came out 4 play time and with him haven 1 arm he could not get the old fella back in quick and he got the sack . thats not a joke by the way a was goin 2 say he got the chop

[Lee]

I never said either were acceptable but there is a difference in the way that whilst only one or 2 people may have seen someone peeing in a bush at 8am on a sunday morning, everyone hears someone F-ing and blinding on top of a rostrum (a focal point) on a saturday afternoon.

I`m not arguing boys, i understand you want to defend your local hero/lover :thumbsup::lol:
