The quickest way to becoming old and irrelevant and to admitting you are past it.

A big thanks to Painy for putting a roof over my head for the weekend, and to NOFX for organising it, and congrats on the "Team Barra" one-two in 4wd Stock.

hey dudes, i just wanted to congratulate all the racers in the 4wd A final, i was thinking about all the starts in the finals, and there werent any major pile ups into the first corner, everyone played it smart and then got on with the racing, which made a major change from qualifying where lack of regrades had a major effect on the quality in the heats, making it difficult to put a good time down.

After that, i also found it interesting thinking about the variety in that class, the mix of 4wds was pretty diverse.

In the A there were

4 -XXX-4s
2 - Cat 3000's
3 -XX-4s
1 -Tamiya ???

Just outside the 10, there was another Cat 3000, an associated ??? and another XX4

Richie, good work on the 2wds man, we may have to make u a team barra member also, then we have the double

People, i recommend helping out interstaters when u can, put them up for the few days they're here, save them some money and help form new friendships etc and the goodwill will be returned to u later on and it will be better for the sport if there is less animosity between racers too.

now this crusty nationals is over, maybe we can finally look to next year and forget the debacle that was ryde holding a major event.

Next year the nationals will be run to the rules, and if you have any problems or qualifying queries, they will be answered and dealt with.

Power will be available in practice (no, your not serious!!!), the track will be groomed (has the world gone crazy?!?!?!) and the scrutineers will know what an R/C car looks like (its too good to be true!)

Plus the track will not resemble a goat track.


The nationals will be at either Keilor or Wodonga, will be announced within the next 6 weeks. If anyone has any questions, shoot.....

Interstate entries, you will be looked after

I had to threaten to sue to get my refund.

I actually got the cheque within 10 days of asking but I haven't had a chance to cash it so I hope it doesn't bounce...

fastolfart

I don't like your chances of getting a refund now, concidering the race meeting has been rerun.
But you can only ask, otherwise you won't know
