Couple of pictures from today's meeting

A big thanks to Mark for running the meetings this year and getting us entry into the Cider & Sausage festival

Hi all, Mr Gibbs was away on holiday last weekend, not sure who authorised that! So in his absence I took a few photos :n1 Last Saturday was round 17 of the championship. The day was a quiet affair with a number of regular members away, but the grass was mowed by its dedicated members and another gr...

If our club has some members who wish to race buggies in an on-road environment, then maybe the forum is a good place for them to voice their own opinions and experiences running indoors on carpet? Personally I feel the class would be a fad, but if they was to run, then foams my be the best bet? Mar...

Hi Ian,

Thanks for putting in the time over the season, I for one have really enjoyed viewing the footage from the finals.

Hi All, Thought it's worth mentioning that Zac Finlay took yet another win in the pro stock class on Sunday, that 3 in a row! Well done :D Not only that, half the A final qualifiers in the class was made up by Hinckley club members, so well done guys. EWS is becoming one of the biggest indoor TC inv...

Martyn

Great work Dean keeping us updated on the off-road season

Also i dont think the photos do the track justice, when i saw the track on Saturday August 3rd, i was amazed how lush the grass looked so a big up for Mark & Keith. Obviously have a hidden talent

Martyn

Hi Barry,

Yes the Hinckley club mentioned is our club

Tracks have been looking great this year, and the grass is in great condition from what i saw on Saturday

Here's a panorama I took of Saturdays track.

Great work Ian, thanks for taking the time to film all three of us

Good to see how our cars look going round.

Like the idea of a cheaper tyre :n1 As Daz is doing, lets asses the performance and durability of the tyre over the next few weeks. The make a decision for next years championship? I know some fellow club members have been running the Powers tyre , so be interesting to hear their feedback too? Martyn
