Hey Darren.... aka Champion, "concours du national"

Firstly I had a big writing session last night, didnt finish and the power went out... poof gone, anyway I'll skip to the end..


Thank you, Al, Steve, Leigh for the wonderful weekend, it's an awesome thing we do, specially for me as a dad enjoying the pits and Luke's driving in an awesome chassis (thanks Peter), great engines (thanks Uriah Murnan) in a great field with world class drivers (thank guys) in amongst all my RC mates (thanks everyone). It's not often I have people around me that care enough to curb my own emotions, like you all did when I was looking at the rear bulkheads, big thanks, good mates!

We had a blast, I think lots of people did. I know you were having a good time, Al was loving his KickAss orchestra all around him, Leigh and Steve had a clean shell, no broken bits and a run in the A-final and the performances out there were spectacular all week long. Maybe Nitro brings on bouts of spontaneous amnesia, but from what I experienced, it was 5 days of wonderful weather, a gripped up track, the best in the country with the racing dial on 11. Not much more we could ask for!

2 hours of clear skies was all that was needed, the clouds should not shadow what was a great week racing. Congrats to Adrian, Nick for his semi run and everyone who had a blast. As for Azza, what a shocker, we all have a pop off valve, who am I to question that. AndrewG didn't need dodgy fuel to do what he does , the rain, it's wasn't a simple deluge, it teased, spat, farted and lingered so it gets hard to decide when to call it. It had to be a few laps earlier and I think Steve was "race leader" all the way up to and within. I was helping get things tidied up and out of the impending weather.

It was an awesome event and I think a lot of people will agree, we had a great time. 2 hours... "The thunder", wasn't in the skies, it was in the hearts of those 1/8th drivers as their moment was taken as was the 1/10th cut just before we could conclude. The dramas that followed aren't representative of the week we had and it might be best someone re-inforce the great racing we had, not the last 2 hours.

Thanks again Darren for a genuinely good time racing RC cars! And hey, you're herding that goat round as well as the Airbrush!! Big thanks to Nick and the Lilydale crew. Gary hugs and get well wishes to Mrs Westwood, thank from Luke and I for a wonderful time. Yes, we slept in Monday morning, 10am it was still wet and drizzle....

If you really have to blame, blame the drivers a while back that wanted shorter events. Lilydale needs at least three rain days, not one, the rest is the debacle you get when you mix fatigue, passion, excitement and gut wrenching hollowness rain brings us...

PS:One could propose a re-run of the finals at England Park's opening, would make for a great spectacle Just saying....

I would say a comfortable 10th place finish looking at the screenshot.

But maybe 9th after the DQ of Andrew Gillespie.

Trevor, this was the second worst run events i have ever been to, the first been in canberra 2 years ago both run by the same person who was paid by both clubs involved. Don't get me wrong the clubs did a fantastic job on both occasions, the track and driving was amazing, there was food drinks facilities, grip, the track was amazing, the clubs really did do a fine job.......... its just that it all fell over in the shed.... on both occasions.

It was a Great week of racing. I had a great time. Learnt a few more things which will help allot. happy with my new ARC car, It was super reliable. It was a great atmosphere at the event, with a big thanks to all of the people who put in a big effort to make the event happen. Congrats to Chris Earl for his well deserved win in GT. what a fun class.
Is there results out for tourer and 1/8?

What a great event. The GT drivers had a ball. We were serious enough but not over the top like some other classes and the racing was so luch fun.

The grip was awesome and the facilities were just as good. Coming from a club that uses a car park as a track you guys a so lucky to have a track like this.

Thanks to all people who made this possible and congratulations to Chris Earl for the win.
