Ha Ha .............
Going into the Last round at Ipswich I am 3 points ahead of you GreyFox , that is when you drop a score so to speak as I have only scored in 5 rounds so far , You may be up there in Black and White but you know its all down to Ipswich who wins there will be the winner 
As for the Captain He may have beaten me last weekend ( for the first time BUT at Ipswich I don't think so ) and Beating me and making an A final was 2 of his seasons goals so he is happy what ever happens ..................... Bring it on thats what I say ................. |

Ah ha - I know I need to beat you by three places or more to maintain the overall championship lead, so around Coastal it will be damned tight I realise. Will definitely be there on the Saturday for some early practice.
Be interesting to see if El Capitano can maintain the momentum he gained at Colchester and pip us both again in Round 8. It's going to be close, but exciting so am really looking forward to it - just hope it doesn't rain as that tends to make it a lottery. |

Well I've been looking at the results, and unless the both of you guys have the most complete of complete mares, and I take the A final win then I'm afraid that you guys get a top result and I trail you both, however I am going to go out and fight till the last... show you both no quarter, and hopefully continue the momentum and give Trev a solid run for his money.
I would like to mention how much of a good sport Ben was last weekend, in the face of me rubbing it in at every opertunity, and special thanks to Aidy for putting up with Benji.. On a more personal note I would just love to thrash Ben at Coastal.. After him showing me up all year. |

So it sounds like 'Let battle commence' all round then - great, look forward to next weekend. | ||

If the forecast is right (remember 1987 and something called a hurricane!) then the wet car is ready to do battle. I've now got to waterproof myself and everything will be fine. | ||

Just Got the WET CAR ready for Sunday But I can't remember what ratio we used to run Brushed ??? , I know I won't be needing great speed but I do want it to last all day
Did we used to run about 6.5 on a Monster Stock or that Later Blue can motor what ever it was called A Part of me is praying for Rain as it would us such an advantage Grey Fox But the real me is praying for Good Weather as it will be my last big meet for a while 
|

| Greyfox |
Yes, brushed should be around 6.4 - 6.5 ratio.
Must admit wet would be a distinct advantage but am really preying for a dry day as it is so much better to race/marshall in. |
||
| markw |
im getting my bd ready just in case i will b using brushed aswell, 6.50 sounds about rite theres only 60% chance of rain on sunday we mite get lucky ... |

Well got the Wet car sorted at last only took 3 hours ,,,,,,
The Damm Servo is worth more than the car and I had to cut a lug off of it aswell......... If it rains I am ready at last ........................ |

Well after a very Wet day everything now seems to be working again Thank God ,,,,
And after you see the photos below you can see just how wet it was , Shame my car had the water in it somewhere which stopped me competing in the finals as I felt it was good enough to get 3rd place and If I had of gone with the faster motor from the start of Quali I feel it would have been starting 3rd on the grid instead of the 5th place I was in ...................... 
Great Phots taken by Barry Hughs |

As you say, Barry has taken some great pictures of the day. |
