Keywest Nats

Post  sam the man on Sun Oct 18, 2009 6:14 pm

OK, here's a short nats update on Ray's progress and a few pics that came through.

Keywset track.


Rained out on Saturday during quallies.


Which led to the SARDA AGM where open stock has been dropped at nats level due to low entries and because there were some cowboy votes because of this little brown culprit!!!!!!!!! Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad


Here are some Sunday action pics in the pits.






Last I heard before lunch time today, Ray was lying 4th in B main for 19t and 3rd C main in mods.
And OTOTW wasn't quite ototw as he had a moerse babelas!!!! Twisted Evil Twisted Evil All part and pacel of attending a nat. bounce bounce

Anyway, I'm sure the booitjies had a blast. We will have to put together a strong contingent for next years nats and show them the PE ouens are not lig in the broek, maybe the economy will have gotten a bit better by then to help aswell.

Thanks for attending Ototw and keeping my glass filled Laughing . It was an event where you needed 3 different setups per day with the changing conditions and my timing was not great, or the rain's timing was not great.
A lot was learnt again from a setup point of view and hopefully it will eventually filter through to club members.
The track was nice but ours is great and sometimes I don't think our members always realize it. We had a good look at their driver's stand and it is simple but effective. I think Ototw might have taken some closer shots of it then we can post it later fr everyone to see.
