Knobby Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Im Racing sunday aswell xtx! First time out since August last year, First time racing arena since i done 1300 stock cars about 2 1/2 years ago!... I cant wait. Im only using a battered Cortina that i used in nationals so not expecting it to last a race!, Magic is out too in a Rover, Should be right fun!
FastErnieJr. Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) I went out again too.. Had a second place in one of the heats! Edited September 10, 2009 by FastErnieJr.
xTx Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Posted September 12, 2009 Looks like i wont make it now due to a dodgy clutch in Pauls Transit, hoping to still scratch into wimbo for the evening meet tho, good luck Magic and Knobster!
Magic208 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Thats such a shame Xtx! Hope things go alright at wimbo mate
The London Allstar Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 How does it look know knobby!
xTx Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Posted September 16, 2009 Thats such a shame Xtx! Hope things go alright at wimbo mate Was good after all, stalled heat 1 around lap 10 and couldn't restart as battery was flat, semi blew up as too hot around lap 13 in heat 2 and finished the Final 8th, not bad for a 1.0 ltr micra with a slipping clutch against a bunch of wizzy honda's and rover's. Only damage was a puncture and a few scratches mostly cos i couldn't catch anyone to hit! As Allstar says how'd you n Knobster get on?
Knobby Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 I had great fun in the Tina, First race was going really well, even overtook some whizzy Sunnys!, and catching more up! But a hose came off where the system pressurised so that was Heat 1 done. In the final Im not sure what happened, I think the track was abit Slippy, although dad says its because the tyres on the rear had slow punctures and were flat.....But I spun out on the first bend, lucky i started at the back, as there were 50ish cars in it.... lol, I got it facing the right way again and just was really arsy!, Spun out on turn 3/4 again, then decided to call it a day there lol. Didnt do the DD as i didnt want to aggravate my chest ! Didnt expect it to come back from 1 race but to come home straight as it went there was nice lol, Taking it back in 4/5 weeks time!
FastErnieJr. Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Well done Scott, glad you had fun
Knobby Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 Carb problems so he didn't race, hopefully he will be out before the season ends
FastErnieJr. Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Dirty den and Ernie Sr went out this weekend, aswell did Crashpiet and Marsman with their used unlimiteds!

The London Allstar Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 mk2 wasted in unlimeted rookies, sad times
Brad516 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) Well you wont want to hear that weve got another mk2 and maybe a mk1 lined up for them,better to be used in unlimited bombers tbh anyway,get about 6 meetings instead of 1 lap in full contact then you get blown up by a 99% box tube yank Edited October 1, 2009 by Brad516
The London Allstar Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Or just use it in the unlims and take out crap like omegas for the bombers... much better as nothing thats actually worth using gets wasted then
Brad516 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Most omegas around here are on the road,know of another 3 scrap mk2s and 4 scrap mk1s!
wee dode Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Most omegas around here are on the road,know of another 3 scrap mk2s and 4 scrap mk1s! good for you want a medal?
Lee Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) Why flame him? his dads car, his choice? their actually a good idea the bombers at the end of the day as 90% of the people im guessing who race em are the ones who dont want to fork out a shed load of money and still have a good days racing. Also at the end of the day they get blown up and put to the cage or w.e so hardly a waste? Mk1's waste yes, just to correct it. Edited October 1, 2009 by Lee
The London Allstar Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 yet people are strugling to race nationals because they cant find any granadas or anything they can COMPETE in, yet peopel are just wasting them in rookies when they could use other crap that is no good for nationals... well thought out lee
Brad516 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Nationals is where the car would be wasted though,A "crappy" omega would be better as there harder than mk2s!
The London Allstar Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 omega's are harder? That explains why everyone uses them then.... hmmm
Brad516 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 I wont bother explaining as it will be a waste of time.
