eeerrr does he know he's got the wrong day??? obviously all that time spent not skimming motors has sent him a little mental!  |

Doh, and I got up extra early to skim the motor but this new rotor thing doesn't fit in my lathe, more expense |

If you need me to put in a good word for you Les just let me know....... I was beginning to smell a rat!!..for some strange reason lately we have never bumped into each other racing...hmmm plus chrissy always had a smile on her face when I got home from racing and you seemed to be conspicuous by your absence...but!! as we seem to be both racing tomorrow?  ... ;D ;D ;D Ok..I fancy Pro stock tomorrow,play with a 13.5 for quallies and perhaps put in a 10.5 for finals...if theres enough interest otherwise 17.5 will do to have some fun  |

What a good turn out,super days racing too,Nice to see Mark Townsend enjoying him self again. Reuben(a PB in 17.5 today) and Simon are getting a bit quick theses days ..As for Sam "blimey" very quick!! Im looking forward to see him get serious in pro stock with some of the faster racers at the SLCC |

Had a great day today!
Enjoyed sticking a 13.5 in the car for some faster racing... although it would seem not faster times.. - I ran two sets of old 28s down to the canvas today!
Still a PB with 13.5 is nice.. as is holding up Mr BRCA junior for a lap or two in the last final - that was most special!
Well done to the 20+ drivers who turned out to race hopefully we'll see you all again soon!

yeh matt agreed with the good defensive tactics! craig was easily faster with the 10.5 but you managed to hold him off quite well.... racing is as much about defending as going fast.. as les proved with he made it So hard to overtake him that I bottled it and made a slight mistake costing me a 1/4 of a lap.. great driving Mr baldry. Lets hope I gain some bottle before the SLCC ill be right on your bottom. Great to see so many drivers out. and yes 19 laps is a big bonus  , just need to work on getting Sam's stupidly quick times |

Despite breaking THREE things today (motor, receiver, truck diff) I had a great day today.
A great final with Reuben, nothing between the cars with identical motors, and no mistakes from either of us, very enjoyable!
Sam was very impressive, just like we expected him to be! Lines and driving are SO much to going quick!

Reubs...I had to stick my "bottom" in your face in the final you were flying up my inside...good clean enjoyable driving !! Sam said to me on the "QT" he did'nt want to get as compedative as he once was but knowing him I expect he may make one or two drivers take notice  |

Was good to see so many people turn up yesterday. Everyone also seemed to be enjoying themselves which is also good. 17.5 is certainly looking like a good series for the SLCC. Should be very close. Seems I am well off the pace at the moment. Must be an age thing.!!!
Perhaps I should be doing the ANSMAN class in future!
Oh what joy.
Sam was sure to be on the pace sooner rather than later. Good to see he has not lost anything.

Matt I suspect Craig was being cautious in case you punted him off the track again Matt ;D Excellent day, yes it was good to see Mark, real shame it will be few and far between. Good day for Team Campbell Racing; Lap PB for Craig (err 10.5 vs 27T), .02sec off a his first 20 lapper, an inspired change to the Ackermann setting by the chief mechanic, but the treal treat was Ross' 1st 27T 17 lapper. I think Dad is going to have to start paying some attention in that direction. |

Good to see he has not lost anything. Dont get too down harted you were on the pace and very quick in practice..I think some set up changes during the day for one or two made the difference..thats all?? Reub's myself and Sam were swaping set up ideas that seemed to work |

indeed Les is right, there were a number of times that u were behind me and getting inches closer lap on lap! luckily for me there was a grass scuff or kerp scrape that then allowed me to increase the gap. So the car defo isnt off the pace! just one of those days.
