Jimmy, shame, I was looking forward to seeing what occurred.

My roast chicken dinner was excellent.

I've added the updated results now also.

Thanks (as always) to Eric for doing the scores.

Andy is the King in the helmet, should do something similar at Batley, think of the most unsuitable item to wear.

He also raced my TRX-1!!

Tom raced it earlier in the day with a 7x2 in it, did 3 laps I think till the speedo melted! :o

G

That was awesome. Just sat on the ramp flat out wheel spinning and not going anywhere.

I think we should make a new bespoke part for it at every meeting. We now have two front wishbones.

Helmet and boiler suit were used as motorsport is very dangerous :o

Pity no-one got photos of G's great driving or Andy playing with the Hay Bails (sorry STRAW :D )

Great meeting, thought the track was great today, hope it becomes an annual event.

I've just had a look my 3 run old checkpoint motor, after the speedo "blowing" in the "final of finals" and it appears the plastic bearing support that houses the endbell bearing has melted, and the arm also seems firmly attached to the partially ceased bearing. So i'm not sure if the motor has taken the speedo out or the heat from the speedo has melted the bearing support, causing the bearing to become partially ceased.

I'd send the motor back to be checked out, but it stinks of the blown speedo, so two guesses what they'd conclude!!

anyway many thanks and hope plenty money was raised for the air ambulance.

Simon

I would suggest that the speedo blowing will have damaged the motor, becasue when the speedo blows, it shorts out, just like connecting the motor across a battery pack.

£187 raised for the Air Ambulance. Good stuff people! :D

Pity about the weather today, but we were lucky, about a mile down the road it was much much wetter. The kit car was a little squirmy! :o

Are you refering to my sideways skills in the field Tom? :D

G

Certainly Am!!:p

Northern racer, is that a spoon on the track in this picture?

near the bottom:confused:

I don't usually partake of a Sunday afternoon, but it was a generous donation from Stu and I was driving nothing more dangerous than an RC car all day so...
Anyway, it's not like I make a habit of it. Good pics Stu, and it was a laugh in the pits too.

Well done also to those who organised and supported the Castle Howard meeting, looks like a great day out.

Stu, Eric has made a few mistakes on the results, he has fixed them now and has updated them on the southport website.

Ok Paul, I'll bring them into line.

I suspect the use of used greens was more than the good side of a fair swap for a tinny.

Yes, it is a spoon. I tried to hide it off screen to see if anyone spotted it, you get the prize.

One of the pics (No12) is a mid-motor XXX, I didn't actually spot it on the day, just when reviewing pictures last night. Would have taken some more had I spotted it on the day.

i also saw it stu, i saw it up close too, with the shell off and didnt have my camera with me :(

maybe next time.
