Big thanks to everybody for racing,Thanks to Hardcore & Dazza for the use of their servers.
Feedback is appreiciated & dont forget to add some pictures!

Congrats to Hardcore54 on taking the first Gold roof of the year,Fresh from victory at the first TNB OldSkool meeting last week in a VDP 4LitreR he then pulls out a stunning drive for a world final in Datsun Laurel taking a convincing lead and not looking back except for a close call with the tyres on the last bend/home straight.Well done mate,Hope youve stopped shaking now! Lee606 in 2nd for most of the race but got caught in one of the many savage track blockages to end up 4th behind the hard charging Ryan760 ( Who was a lap down at one point) Dazza390 & Gazmo998 in 5th.

Well done also to Knighty82 for earning his place into the final,Unlucky Ricky228 who lead virtually the whole race until the last bend.

Would have expected to see my name in it Lee, hehe. Had a very good night rodding, had some good races but lost it on experience mainly.
Hoped on my chance in the LCQ but Ricky was for the whole race 10 seconds a head so didn't give full in last lap, besides getting done 3 times lol.

HC well done on the World final win!

[Ryano]

I was pretty much a lap down as Hardcore started his last lap! So how i got 2nd is quite odd really, drove past Dazza and Lee as i found the only gap on the last bend to come across in 2nd....luck more than anything I reckon!

[Hardcore54]

just remember being told never lead on the last lap of a title final, took me time on the last lap what could go wrong....lol.

thanks to all that pushed me over the tyres, would have been my usuall luck i got stuck there, anyone got the final replay, forgot to save it

thanks
HC#54.

[Ryano]

Yeah HC, I'll send it when I'm on msn.

Thoroughyl enjoyed this meeting. Another great one from the fairest league going.

My Mk3estate held its wheels on, just. But was quick at the same time picking up a few places, i had fun thats the main thing. Think most people had the right attitude again this week so that added to making it a good meeting. Looking forward to next weeks icebreaker aswell. Should be just as good!

Cheers again, lee/hc/daz use of servers and making it another great meeting.

[Ludd33]

didnt much like the track choice for such a big meeting but never stood a chance in the a60 anyways had some good battle but again people standards of driving fairly are awful

[Dalags]

Heats wern't great I didn't think, was roddy and didn't really feel on the pace in the old Vauxhall, when the world final eventually got underway it was a brilliant race, HC was seriously lucky to get through the final bend lol, well deserved win and anyone who managed to work their way through the pileups every lap was worthy of the win imo, welldone HC.
Allcomers/afters was the highlight for me, some serious crashing going on, loads of good hits which made the night for me.

Do agree with Ludd about the track choice despite it encouraging more crashing; I think having 24 in the race was abit much for Smeatharpe - had it been another track with more space it'd be suitable, but it just didn't feel right tbh - just because servers can hold this many now, I don't think having that amount in every big race is a good thing?
Every other big race on the fixtures this year are at bigger tracks I think so probably won't be an issue; but it's perhaps something to note for next year, servers might even be holding 30 by then! Imagine that online round Smeatharpe
The swearing in chat before and during the meeting was becoming more and more noticable again despite Admin saying it was being clamped down on only a couple of weeks ago? Do hope it gets punished like it was last year or it's just gunna get out of hand again?

[Hardcore54]

theres beena few dp issues thats going to be sorted out, wasnt really aware but we'll round the dp team up to sort it out.

[DannyG267]

I thought the track was good tbh, something a little different made it a harder race for everyone, fair play to hardcore on the last lap! Was so lucky to get knocked straight back off the tyre - Had a decent battle with affro/brad in the heats was a good night i thought! I didnt think anyones driving was that bad considering its such a small/tight track, i had a decent night anyway! Look forward to icebreaker, Cheers lee/dps/server hosts!

[Hardcore54]

bare with us some of the dp are not around at mo but hopefully be some news soon.

Yeah hopefully, noticed lee hadnt posted for a few days. lol

[South#108]

thanks for meet lee and chaps with the servers :-)

WD hardcore pal, hard race to win that so congratulations :-) I admit when i see booking thread i was like o know not that track, but i thought it was good all ngt, i was expecting lunges but only got the odd one most off it was a good old follow in or some door handle racing, final was pretty carnage, blockages most laps being crewe most laps, get that concrete out of the chassis ;-) think i started at the back about 22nd, remember mr g and someone else behind me, got upto 2nd with couple of laps to go but just couldn't make any ground, last corner seems fuzzy think it was a mass pile of cars.
