Got all packed up now. put some extra wheelguards on for the first fight, I'm going to need them. Had a slight incident with the shaft for Massacre so I've had to bodge up a new one, should hold okay though.
Not looking forward to it yet, normally once I've got past tech check I relax and start enjoying myself
Will be a good day methinks, even if I'm just running as a pusher.

Wish I could be there - was a last minute realisation for me and I'm already double booked this weekend. One of these days I'll catch up and be able to join you lovely lot in one event

Can Boner not be there? I was sure they were through.

[Max]

I will admit that I am surprised that massacre made it through! Did it beat Iron-Conkers ?

[MudnuK]

Can I just hand over an old video player for smashing up in the demos or does it need health & safety checking, like taking out any batteries?

[razerdave]

James said that's fine .

Here is the draw for round 2:
Massacre vs Beauty 2
Inertia vs Tormenta
LF3 vs Explosion
Galactus vs Drumroll
LH3 vs Binky
Beauty 7 vs 720
LS4 vs Satanix
Cicatrix vs Tiny Toon
Rabid vs NST

This should be interesting.

Boner was one point short of making it to the next round. In short it happened because the shaft snapped on the brushless motor early in the fight

Looking forward to vids

Dave remember if in doubt go flat out let the sparks begin

Binky made it despite a damaged lipo! It showed exactly what it could do against Cicatrix and Turisas, but faces LH3 tomorrow... oh dear.

Conker II was on the back foot all day after LS4 totalled the 2mm Titanium armour. A victory against Nightfury was a little sad without MMM, but the disc finally got to cause some damage; even to 8mm mild steel. Drumroll was able to get right under the armour so Conker ended on its back; after loosing its MDF rear armour and the 2 power lights.

Thanks to everyone for an epic day and we will see everyone again tomorrow! Bring on the finals!
