Tom said: i have 1 maybe 2 extar team members coming , i only signed up as 2 , will this cause any porblems ?

I think not. Just be sure you are there to vouch for them if anyone questions them.

hiya.

Info email will come when i get home. . . You'll be reading it in the morning so don't wait up. :-) just finishing fitting the new bottom floor to the panels so should have a nice new fresh floor to play on.

The arena has changed yet again. . . Another experiment. . Quite radical :-) still got bits and bobs to finish tonight before loading in the morning.

Many thanks to the Roaming Robots team for all their efforts today, Zack and I had a very good time running The Saint and Tron we also took The Pilgrim (walker) that seamed to go ok too.
Many thanks for all the kind words everyone spoke about it.
The crowed liked the shows and so they should there was lots of good fights, and even The Saint did ok.
Hope to get some videos on u-tube soon.

Thanks again to Jonno and the crew.

Hydra was on fire for this event and not like at Guildford. Great fight with Thor for our first fight (once wierd alice had died) great to see Hydra trading blows and holding its own very well. lost though but that's cos we opened the pit too late for him to drive in (friendly whiteboard my arse)

Second fight was good too lots of good driving from Luke seems he does actually listen to me when we look at the videos. (although I would have preferred he had not listened to the 'go out hard go out agressive and let them know you're there' in the first fight.)

Just have to point out to team bud that that 2-0 to Hydra with Envy in competitions and we were going to replace those body panels anyway

Vids on line soon but picked a bad position to film from as we got a lot of glare on the screen.

Thanks to Roaming Robots for putting on a great event.

My driving was absolutely rubbish for most of the day (Maelstrom ended up in the pit 5 times in all- how I managed to drive into the pit three times in the same fight still remains a mystery.)

Matt enjoyed the event- he somehow managed to win 3 out of 4 fights (as long as he doesn't do it again )
