COBRA – 30/03/2025

Posted on March 31, 2025March 31, 2025

After the dampest of squibs on Friday night, I spent Saturday Prepping the B7 and B74.2, to rescue what could have been a rather depressing weekend’s racing. Practice with the B7 was OK, the backend was right with the heavier lower shock…

Went out for a couple of laps of practice, clipped a corner, pulled the 4.8mm ballstud out of Bulkhead B, prema-shagging bulkead B, necessitating a complete rear end rebuild once new parts get here. Went home.

Mendip Winter Championship Rd10 – 09/03/2025

Posted on March 9, 2025March 9, 2025

A bit of sun boosted the entries nicely today. But even with 21 2wd buggies, the racing was really quite tight and competitive all day. Without much morning dew, the B7 was the obvious choice. Practice told me I had a responsive,…

Posted on February 9, 2025February 9, 2025

Nice to get back to competition after my winter between jobs moment. It was bleeding freezing down Accomodation road, and weeks worth of rain fall made the surface like driving of a freshly buttered ice ring for much of the day, but…

Posted on August 25, 2024August 25, 2024

The day started well with being handed a little trophy for 10th place in this year’s 4wd regionals. I think I might concentrate on 4wd at Mendip over the winter, and 2wd at Cardiff. And maybe, that’ll stand me in good stead…
