MECA Round one
 

Anyone have the results for today's race?

Well it was a good meeting, thanks to Steve, and also belinda for letting him come out and play on your birthday.

Not sure of the number but there were a lot of entries, 15 heats to be exact. with a good showing in all classes, even 1/12th where there were nine entries. so make sure to dust off that 1/12th in the cupboard and come out and play.

Nitro open was won by Daccin Campbell, not sure of placings
Modified was Campbell( yet again), Myself second, and Ari third
1/12th was Was Ari, Myself second and Black knight third ( how does it feel to be beaten by your old car, i am still prepared to swap mate?)

Was a little late getting underway, considering the numbers, pre entry will most likely be compulsory from now on, it takes approx an hour to submit entries.

The track surface seems to be getting better and better, with grip coming up much quicker now, with a black line visible after round 2

Anyway looking forward to the next meca.

See you all down at the creek in two weeks time on Sat night, and remember bring your 1/12th.

this guy is turning into a real celebrity of late, someone pls sponsor him...

too bad i didnt have my good body on, it would have been a pretty much a Skid Lid body class.

Look at that beautiful Hacker Brushless system, i just love not having to worry about speed ( 8 turn performance race after race), available from all good shops, Call George at Hobbytown for Prices.

Sponsors:lol: , i have all i need, well i guess an RC sponsor would be good to complement those corporate ones. Seems like i am too outspoken, people dont like to hear the truth.

If you want guaranteed speed get a sexray and a brushless :tire: :tire: , and go smoke some foams.

Mention must be made of Burt reynolds (aka Mr Zarb) was given a rtr xxxs losi to try, they opened the box, installed a JRM, strapped in a charged pack, and took third place in the B, well done mate. This would have to be the best value kit in existence, around $750, car, computer radio ,GM speedo, Prepainted body.

are you sure your not sponsored? with a write up like that i can see a future in publication for you besercoe!:D :D

now i see it there is a strange resemblence to burt:lol:

Contact, no mate definately no agreement for this fat bastard, all i do is say it like i see it. If a product is good i will say it.

Well re publication, i think RC Car Action and Extreme wouldnt want a contributor from "Down Under", and i doubt you will be seeing my name in RTR errrrrr racing lines ( pardon my stuttering) any time soon.

Besercoe, the Sheltered Workshop may be interested in your services...as a driver nothing more, nothing less.

you did good yesterday, just like your paintjob you were on fire. :D

BK get that stupid character off my posts.

not until Jack has seen it...:sneaky:

Only if you adopt the red and yellow flames as team colours.
And i want one of those novak brushless systems for my 1/12th

BTW: i'll try to fit the Novak BL into my 1/12th for the next meet at the creek. will be interesting...

Hmmmm, the MECA police were quiet on Sunday :D

Anyone know the placings in Pre-Modified... oops, I mean 'Stock'.

Unfortunately I had to leave before the finals due to illness.

Also, what time did it all wrap up?

How about we make pre-entry compulsory for Canberra along with an 8:30am start time for the first heat? Penalty for entering on the day could be that you don't get to race the first round?

Scotty i am the first to admit i am guilty of not pre entering, but i too believe that pre entry should be enforced strictly, so that we can get under way early.

I too was guilty of not pre-entering for Sunday, but I sure as hell would if I had known I would not have been able to race the first round.

For Canberra I'll do the right thing and send my entry off nice and early. I just hope they don't reward the late-comers again and punish the people who do the right thing. I don't fancy setting off back to Sydney at 8pm on Sunday night.
