Johno3 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Hello All, First of all, thanks to everyone that has raced over the two days. It has been absolutely superb to see so many new faces come and race with us and I hope they will come and race with us again. Dont forget, if you have raced over the course of the 2 days, you are entitled to membership for only £7.50. Onto the meeting itself, and the main attraction on the night was the UK Oen Championship. Despite the fact that James (560) ran him close, MoR (137) successfully defended the UK Open Championship to become the first person to do so in this championship event. Congratulations must go to him on becoming a two time champion. Onto the meeting itself, and it Matty (300) who took the meeting final. It was a very hectic race but the racing was hard fought with the blue grade driver coming out on top in the end. James (560), after two heat wins, became the top points scorer on the evening. A final word must go to the new faces that came to join us. I think we were all impressed with each and every one of you. Some mistakes were made, but in the main they were apologised for as they were toally accidental. Well one to all those drivers!

Johno3 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hello All, We are currently having some issues with the drivers that have come to race during the open meeting in terms of getting them on the database. This will delay the UK Dirt website being updated. I will post on here when everything is up to date, but I will not be around all weekend so it will be Sunday night at the earliest. Cheers Johno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations must go to him on becoming a two time champion. Yeah I second that.Well done MoR, excellent drive, congratulations. A superb meeting I thought, well run given the number of new faces getting to grips with how it all works, lets hope the free taster did enough to keep them coming back.

Aub Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Horrible meeting. To be honest I wasnt in the mood for it after the final was fiddled from the night before. Bully should have been yellow after scoring 30 points on wednesday even a admin member agreed to this thus he went and changed to yellow only to find out he now only has 28 points because the rule breakers had been added into the results. Wednesdays final and the last coventry final both saw mike just the corner and miss a sector thus go a lap down. No way should anyone be reinstated after cutting the track you cant do it anywhere else so here should be no exception. It happened to me twice over the two days through no fault of my own and I pulled off in both occasions its only fair not only does it waste admins time but it also confuses other drivers and that could affect the race anyway. Im done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations must go to him on becoming a two time champion. Yeah I second that.Well done MoR, excellent drive, congratulations. Thanks guys much appreciated - well chuffed I was able to defend the title! James was extremely hard to catch and mounted a great challenge - great race mate! Well done on top scoring too. Well done to Matty with the final win. Thanks to Johno for running the meeting - looked like it would have been tremendously stressful from where I was sitting.

southy277 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 WD to MoR on the title defence. Sounds like it was a good challenge for him. I had to abandon the UK Open race as my wheel decided not to work. The admins reset the game weekend to adjust the laps and my wheel started working again but as they were in the race i could not logon to the server. There were some good racing. Were having a good battle with the blues until Hooty decided to follow us into the fence and wrecked the race. Watched the reply and it he had the throttle down all the way till the fence. Anyway. I thought the new faces did well - not perfect but i'm sure we all weren't when we joined. Southy 277 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooty256 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yeah was an Epic follow-in wasnt it. Not denying it. Just sick of people that constantly tap-tap-tap on the rear of your car all the time, just enough to hold you up but not enough so that they pass you. You were just the unfortunate person that got in the way when i finally boiled over. Great night I thought and well done to Mor for winning the title.

You were just the unfortunate person that got in the way when i finally boiled over. Great night I thought and well done to Mor for winning the title. I will say the exact same words (differnet driver for me though) - sums up my night also Hooty, and agree with some of Aubs post too. Not an enjoyable night. Warp & cheap shots got my goat so I lost it in the Final and UK Open when I did have a chance of a decent finish in both taken away from me. Jnr had had enough after Consolation, he apologises for his error, he still doesnt know how it happened. Had to coax him back to do the UK Open, then he wishes he had gone to bed because it was rubbish he said. Putting it all down to experience and moving on. WD MOR, pleased you won it Edited May 13, 2011 by Mav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Aub but you refer to two things in your post that ive never heard of before? What do you mean should have been yellow after scoring 30 points? Are you saying that drivers get an instant upgrade if you score 30 points in a meeting? Also what are rule breakers and how are they added into the results? Forgive me if Im ignorant of these things, just havent a clue what you mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big al 515 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I couldn't make this week's meetings which was a downer, especially seeing how many raced Thursday night. A mixed bag of comments but sounds a cracking meeting. Well done Matty on your Final win, especially from blue top. Hope the new faces enjoyed themselves and become a regular feature. I am hoping to be back next Thursday although might be a bit of a rush beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey boy Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I thought there was abit of good racing over the two days, wednesday night being the best night for me overall but thursday had mix feelings about the racing, saw a few follow ins going on and a certain driver just t-boning one of the new drivers big time, don't know for what reason but I thought it was uncalled for. Other then that really enjoyed the Final on thursday with me , Dode and Leek I think trying to get the last scoring postion and from what I can remember we all just went into the last bend fast and somehow I just bounced off the fence and crossed over the line for 10th. The main race I got away from the reds and was up to 4th I think but harmen came in and put the bumper in and then everyone else was with us and getting myself into a few battles afterwards. huge congratulations to Mor for defending the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
