[Lee606]

Big thanks to everybody for racing,Thanks to Hardcore & Ricky for the use of their servers.Thanks to Deano with his help running the meeting.

Congrats to Brad162 on having a stonking night,Not only managing to qualify via the last chance qualifier but also starting from near the back and then taking the British Title in a race that saw DannyG lead for 14 laps and also a finish across the line that saw the top 3 with just over half a second covering them.Brad162 taking a head on from Damo127 but managing to recover with Gaz998 scrambling on the grass and Deano a few feet behind.
Other placings were DannyG in 4th & Hardcore54 taking 5th



The finish from a few angles.....

Nice to see loads of different cars taking part and not the usual Granny rod fest we are used to :/ Loads of drivers making the effort and great to see so many Protons & P100's to mix it with the bigger cars,As promised everyone who used a Proton & P100 bonus car will get additional National Points added to their meeting total.

Material of the meeting... Hmmm Tough call,
BaldEagle57,nice to see an Anglia out again.

Any comments regarding the updated track or the meeting?
Post your pics up!

Nat points to be updated shortly

Bonus Points...
Biggest gains in points were 348,28,234,99 & 740 all in protons,
Biggest losses (apart from the minus) in points were 663,473.177.434 & 606 presumably all opting to play it safe and not drop or gain any...
Just shows you its worth taking a chance? good to see 234,99,740,499,121 & 109 all taking some decent but badly needed points home.
But on the other hand the top 5 in the championship final last night were all non bonus cars.So is it really worth the risk then?

Could the top of the national points table get any closer! thats awesome for this late in the season.

[Snakerider713]

Yeah it is worth it! moved into the top 35 national points

[Lee606]

You virtually doubled your points last night Snakie!

[theboss]

Told you so Lee

[Snakerider713]

nearly, was already on 66 (with 60 from bonus cars ).
Keep them coming Lee, want my chance to race title races

[South#108]

Cheers for the meet lee
Thanks ricky and h/c for the servers.
Wd to all race winners, Big wd to brad for taking home the British championship.

The meet was pretty good, 1st two heats were bit rush, everyone wasflat out bill, but settled. the rest of the heats were good, Final was a complete waste of time due to some loss!!! at to drive mega lossy to get myself out and going, Been waiting a long time for a good reason just to come out for a feud!!
Took a zodiac as it was different to a granny, but still half decent enough to do well. was a safe option on points, but dont need the points, as im not after the national points champion spot, and im hoping i got it right??, dont need the points for the top14 seeded through anymore this season for championship races, as theirs only two more left, national and unlimted world but will be done on WQR points. C most of ya next week!

PS afters was smashing!!!

[Dalags]

brad's win was even harder..just as he was going to cross the line in the last chance, he got done oppo on straight by smiffers! you can see the eventual 3rd place car lukey99 was in the blue proton with orange roof just behind!



really like the track, the turns 1/2 in the dip are just savage. been plenty of huge hits down in there already, but i recon it's got serious potential in creating some cool autosculpture some day.
the whole track is proper though, you've got to actually be able to drive it, not just turn and brake with a good setup.
not fussed about points, cool winning a heat though.

[Jaboy]

Sounds like a missed a good meeting, what were people lapping round there?

[Dalags]

low-mid 13's seems the top sort of times round there.
no ones broke into the 12's yet, but i recon it's possible

[Lee606]

Quality pics lagz
