Well done to the Steve's today, you both drove sublimely well and avoided the carnage that was present throughout the races with everybody pushing on for the win.
Also well done to the second place team of Zipper and BenH. You both drove very well, maybe next year you will get the hang of team racing i.e. not taking each other out and fighting for the win between you Laughing

Finally a big thank you to Mr Wiggles for sponsering the meeting and for the loan of his car to me for the finals.

Cheers

George

Thanks Mr W!!! Very Happy

Always a highlight of the calendar for me. A light hearted mix of insanity, high quality racing with big mixes of bad racing and both great and terrible team tactics.

Highlights of the day was Jim "Wing Man" Brothertons protection of a hunted Fairweather. Except the hunter, when close to snaring his catch, kept shooting himself in the face! Rolling Eyes

Giving it the big spuds to BenC before the start of the day only to retire in the first race and have said Mr C tell me how easy it is! Embarassed

Team Zipper/Botch - "no team orders" racing style that could have so easily ended in tears but was instead just very amusing. Cool

Being amongst Myally and Chester with a lot of nip and tuck driving to get a dose of team tactics. Then to watch Myallys car go into uncatchable overdrive. Twas an awesome drive fella......! Cool

B Final 1st 3 corners.

Finally, SteveC saying to team Brawn-no-brains, "A 1-2 and you boys will win it" before him and SteveB storming a 1-2 themselves and take 1st overall. SteveB looked pleased at the end and deservedly so. Well done lads, stella performances!

Next year Zip! Wink

Well done to the 2 Steves - thoroughly deserved! Very Happy

And it meant that Hubbard didn't win Laughing

There was some real RC Karma going on out there! Lesson learnt - don't gloat (yeah right!) Laughing

Next year...

Again, big thanks to Mr W, top bloke.

Also many thanks to Jim, lets face it, no Jim, no LBC.

Well done to the Steve's, great driving all day, and at least they stopped Team No Brains winning!

Looks like it'll be at least another year, before a team can be the first team to win back to back Pairs titals, really thought the Chesty one and I had a good chance of it, but car problems let us down at the end Confused

I've just ordered some more grub screws for my driveshafts, going to put 2 on each shaft, so those pins shouldn't be falling out again!

A top day had by all I think! the B final was great. I've never seen so many people on that rostrum! Laughing

and to see Ben and Zipper fighting for first place was very amusing Laughing

Many thanks to Wiggles and Jim, also Mr Coles for the lap counting Smile

It occurs to me I did not thank Ben and John for their help at the pairs.
John lent me a set of wheels and Ben allowed me to use two sets of Li-Po's which made the car a lot easier to use.
I was suprised at the smooth power delivery they gave.
Cheers guys
