That was in my view the best overall display of buggy racing ever seen at LBC!
The 4WD drive boys have taken it up a level, and in the space of a few meetings got theirs car consistant and are driving fast and smooth! I liked the way that you all gave each other space and time to let the race develop, I think it because you guys have the same mix of respect, with a bit fear for each other now that we have in 2WD.
Speaking of which what a mixed bag that was I think it really is a case that you can drive well in 2 races, win one and come last in the other ( not trying to say i drove well yeasterday). And with Matt, George and the allusive Mr Coles not even there! Its crazy!!
Well done to John! who came back stronge and set a FTD that I'm well up for trying to beat, but I think anyone would be doing very well to acheive! and for the TQ and final win!
It was great to see Ryk racing 2WD, it suits his style and he was super quick for the first time out with a B4!
Long may it continue, and with a few up and coming drivers in each class, I think that LBC could soon have some very fast boys indeed!

Phew! That's got to be one of the best LBC meetings of all time!
The racing was absolutely incredible, both 2wd and 4wd.
John certainly showed us why he's Club Champion with a masterly display of driving the X6 -once he'd tamed the beast to his liking; and the 4wd races were a joy to watch, as were the couple of 2wd races I was able to spectate.
Poor ol' Phil's gremlins struck again: once when he looked set to top the qualifying scorechart, and again in the final when comfortably in 2nd place behind Ben H.
A bit of a topsy-turvy day personally. I started off well but, alas, went backwards as the day unfolded
The 2wd crown is still on offer to any one of the top 4, but most of the pressure's now on Ben C, Matt and Juddy as they can ill afford to drop many more points.......the heat goes on!
Driver of the day? -well, apart from the obvious (John), I'd have to say Ryk! Let's hope we see a lot more of him.......racing that is!
Anyway, enough waffling, well done to everyone for an exceptional days racing! _________________ According to James Douglas Morrison 'the West is the best', but I'm stickin' with the 'East'! |

Thank you for the kind words Jim
Maybe I can repay you, by trying to steal points from your competition, the car will only get faster as I get used to it, after all, that was only the second time its been raced  _________________ Light a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day, but light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

Very likely
It depends on if I get my new toy ready before the end of the season, if that happens, then I might give that a go, but it would be nice to do a bit more 2wd, the car is really nice to drive now that it isn't a B4 anymore  _________________ Light a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day, but light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

If I wanted to do that, I wouldn't have bought it now would I
Plus I want to hit the ground running next year, non of the new car problems I had at the start of this year.
Although, if the other bits I'm waiting on, don't come, there will be no choice but to wait  _________________ Light a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day, but light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |
