UK Dirt Masters
July 30, 2008 Race Reports, Snaps No Comments
Clanfield hosted the 1st UK Dirt Masters which took place over two days, the weekend of the 26th-27th July. With many of the top drivers book in it looked like it was an event not to be missed! However on Saturday morning some of the drivers booked in had not shown up for one reason or another, but this did not stop anyone’s enthusiasm. The meeting was a relaxed one starting at around 10:00-10:30 on Saturday and 9:30 on the Sunday.
On Saturday there were 2 rounds of practice followed by 5 rounds of qualifying, Sunday began with another practice round followed by two more rounds of qualifying meaning that finals positions would be decided by best 3 out of 7. Read more…
RCSnaps were present for the 4th Round of the TYRO Nationals this time at Swindon RC Model Car Club. The track was great and the meeting was well run thanks to the people at Swindon Model Car Club and also Glyn Morgan (TYRO Chairman). A race report will hopefully be available soon but for the moment there is a link to the detailed results and the photos of the day. The top 3 in the A final were:
It was the 2nd round of SRS and 4th round of the summer series. Upon arrival the first change I noticed straight away was the new jump which had been created where the old tabletop used to be and WOW it had some profile on it. During drivers briefing Tony B had informed us that the track had already had over 250 drivers on it in the last 21 days due to holding the two national events but the track looked ok.
We drove the ferry onto French soil and the first thing I had to ask Mike was… Which side of the road do you overtake on?
The 3rd round of the TYRO Buggy Nationals was held at DRT (Dartford Race Track) in the South East of England, again some of the competitors who have entered would not have looked out of place at the BRCA ‘A’ Buggy Nationals it was almost guaranteed that this would be another successful and exciting meeting! Marc Knight secured TQ closely followed by Keith Robertson and Jess Saunders who now was sporting a HoBao covered in JQProducts upgrades. Marc, Keith and Jess were all fighting for 1st 2nd and 3rd for the 1st half of the race with Keith Robertson edging ahead of the battle that Marc and Jess were having until lap 21 
RCSnaps managed to get some photos of the 2nd round of the TYRO Nationals. This round was held at Grantham A1 Racing Club up in Lincolnshire which meant a trip up either the day before or a very early wake up for us lot down south! A full report of the event will hopefully be available soon but until then the results are:
