  1. After struggling in practice and in the heats I certainly wasn't expecting to take the final, would have settled just for some points! Well chuffed as its my first final from blue Nearly overcooked it on the last bend which allowed harmen to get closer than id have liked but just got away with it. Wd danny, you were flying flying from the front, if you had got away in the final don't think anyone would have caught you. Cheers for meeting admins!!

  3. Well done to all winners on the night!! Enjoyed the meeting even though it wasn't the best of meetings for me results wise but then again not had many good results on tar this season. Really enjoyed my first season in the tooz, started them with not much intention of racing every week but just as something to do if I had a monday night free plus I had enjoyed the F1s last season and superstox over the winter. Didn't really have any expectations of doing well but just to enjoy it and see what happened, If I got a win along the way it would be a bonus. Never thought I'd end the season holding red grade, 13th in the points with 7 race wins including 2 finals plus winning my first ever title the World Of Shale Alot of luck came my way in that race and even after the start I got not once after that did I think I would still win it. Tbh never thought Id win a title in either the 1s or 2s, thought the closest id ever get was the second I had in the F1s WOS final last season. As with my first season in the 1s I managed to get things to click on shale straight away but have struggled on tar all season, just cant seem to get the setups right or it could be that my driving style isnt suited to tar. Plan is to get some practice on tar done over winter (might be after some tips from you tar specialists lol) so I can hopefully challenge on both surfaces next year! Already looking forward to it! Thanks for some great racing this year guys, it really has been top notch! Finally a massive thanks to all admins (especially wardieee and stumpy) , without you it wouldn't be possible. Your efforts are certainly appreciated!! Lloydy

  7. Really good meeting tonight I thought, racing was top notch! After practice thought I was going to struggle for race pace but turned out I wasn't too far off. Well happy with 4th in the semi although with 2 to go I thought I could hang on for the win, WD drumb on the win! Scored well in all but the final which is annoying but just couldn't get the break needed at the start. WD to all winners and Bagoo for final win Cheers for meeting admins!
  8. Agree with Paul, another cracking preview wardieee! "Surprise WOS champion" thought I was favorite for that one Should be a cracking meeting, cant wait!
  9. Action packed meeting is probably best way to describe last night! Actually enjoyed it looking back, was a good challenge trying to avoid the carnage. Enjoyed the heats with some good racing and well chuffed to win a race round there. Annoyed with final as was running comfortably in 3rd until an incident sent me back down to 8th. GN ran into trouble straight away in the form of Kane facing the wrong way down the back straight lol, really enjoyed battling back up to get 12th though. Not many tracks allow you to get back into the points after coming into trouble in first few laps. Well done Tom on WOS win!! Cheers for the meeting admins

    You can usually get a 30 day trial version of the latest version of Photoshop off Adobe website. I bought a cheap copy of photoshop 2(think they are on version 6 now) off ebay and that does the job for me. As Ben says making skins is not easy unless you know exactly what you are doing. I've been doing my own skins for 2 seasons now and still learning new things everytime I do one.
  11. Decent tar meeting after the shocking one at buxton other week! Hard but fair racing just as it should be. Decent results in the heats but just didn't get the breaks needed in the final and GN. WD Dan on winning final after picking up the pieces from Chris, gutted for you mate thought you were nailed on for the win. Cheers for meeting admins

  15. Another shocking meeting on tar, keep saying I won't race it but I always hope the racing will improve so keep racing anyway. The heats for me weren't too bad for me but the final and GN were just a wreak fest. Disappointed in myself but after getting wiped out in the final its the first time Ive thought If you can't beat em join em. Let's hope things improve for the last few tar meetings.

  18. Cracking meeting, thought the racing was top notch last night. Glad to be back on the loose stuff After Winning 2 heats and final from yellow last time, was a bit worried how I would go from blue but pretty happy with results. Apart from spinning early in 3rd heat and final, finished in top 3 in the other races. Had a really good race with FT in the GN. Must apologise to josh in the final, was trying to get off the fence onto the infield to get out of the way but got it all wrong. Didn't realise it was you who hit me until I watched the reply back, certainly wasn't intentional. Cheers for meeting admins
  19. I use Photoshop 2 which does for what I use it for but I suspect the lads that do the really good skins might use newer/better versions. I managed to get a cheap copy off eBay.
  20. I dont mind knocking you up some F1 skins, just Pm me wha you'd like doing.
  21. Mav my incident with jnr was just unfortunate, he got knocked into the curb on exit and just ended up spinning into the straight. If hes wanting to try some "normal practice" I dont mind joining him in the quieter server on race night to have a practice (I sometimes prefer that server anyway). Im sure a couple more wouldn't mind doing the same? We all have to start some where.
  22. Wd done all winners! After a fair bit of practice and getting a quick setup sorted I was looking forward to a tar meeting for once. Well that soon changed, it was one of those nights where I was wrong place and wrong time. Although you cant account for a yellow top deciding to take you out after cleanly passing them..... Highlight was probably my second heat where I got a really good start from blue yet was met by mav jnr sideways across the start finish line on lap 2, no idea how many times I spun in the air or how many cars hit me but it was fun. Might be my last tar meeting for a while, just don't enjoy it for many reasons. ROLL ON SHEFFIELD! Cheers for meeting admins
  23. Lloydy 43 blue (assuming there isn't any grade changes this month) cheers
  24. Just watched the stream back and must say it was a cracking job by all involved in the commentary, was really good to watch the racing and see what other people think of it.
  25. WD TOM on a faultless drive! Was hoping to go better than last years 11th place finish starting from the back but early damage put a stop to that. Mixed meeting for myself, enjoyed nearly every race apart from when one idiot decided to strike. Cheers for meeting admins and well done all winners
