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.
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,…
An absolutely flawless sky was about all day, Perfect for a spot of Buggy racing up at the fantastic Swindon club. Bungled the start of Round 1 because I was faffing about with tyres, doh! Guess that’s the drop score then! Round…

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…
Me in my happy place, on the rostrum 🙂 Andy takes a tumble, I take a very wide line and give up a place to John Howe to stay out of trouble. But by the bottom of the hill, I want that…
A busy day today. Running the meeting as well as competing is always a little tricky. A damp start meant I didn’t have tyres ready for the 1st heat. 10 rather slow laps with no grip at the back. Time to glue…
