Because we would have some drivers complaining it breaks their cars. :rolleyes: ;)

That particular one is just a bit OTT for our planning guys in the UK I guess but plans are a foot for some nice changes :eek:

To be fair Gray a few people struggled when we first opened because very few people knew how to jump, and if you tried to 3/4 the table top it was aggressive.

I am sure martin would be perfectly capable on the track now and the improvements we have done today on some jumps being re profiled with astro over the table top etc to make sure the kids ALL enjoy them selves means it will be even better!

I bet they come to the RRCI there??

Agreed Jamie that why you need a lot of dead space around the track and in some cases check fences etc.

A lot depends on where you place Marshalls and how they are educated at times!

Well they think the place brings them bad luck. The problems ive had this season that would mean half the tracks in the country would be off limits for bad luck:( :D
Martin always goes on about lack of jumps and yet he,s missing out on frankley, it dont make sense:confused:

Hes not the only one LOL Mathew Lewis drove a brilliant qualifier and had problems in his final. His brother (I think it was) forgot to put his transponder in.

Guess whats on their Xmas list?? Ace servos and personal Transponders. :eek: :rolleyes: ;)


Seriously we had probably THE BEST meeting ever held at Frankley, largely thanks to Mirage and Ben Cosgrove where around 30 of the "future rallycross stars showed everyone how to drive.

The driving standard was second to None with Master Skidmore aged 7 (I think) taking a nice little prize home for his brilliant display (not really certain but I think he even manged 3rd under 13??

he was not alone some fantastic driving was on display and guess what very very very few breakages. Lap times will be up later in the week but these guys and girls really are the future we need to nurture NOW.

Come on Martin you know you want to .:eek:
