This is the last race of the winter series, just not sure if we are going to run a summer series or not tho there are plans for some longer one of races during the summer months also the cooley raid and there are other people who host some ar events down south over the summer, it all comes down to level of intrest a hell of a lot of work goes into orgainising one of these events, so its great to see you's giving one a blast, oh and btw they are very very adictive........make sure you have all your kit i will be doing kitcheck at registration and you could be spot checked on the course heavy penalties for missing kit..........hahahahaaaaa(evil laugh)...!!

It is tough but it was great crack. It was really well organised and all the ccar crew were very helpful and friendly. Most of the racers were really helpful even the guys pushing for the top spots. We finished the course and we didn't come last ;D ;D We'll do a more detailed account later.

And i've managed to make them really small ??? ???
Don't know what i've done.
-
If you added them for flickr you need to left click on the pic and then select the size. You'll see what I mean when you do it.
-
any joy?
-
No they are still being saved at that size.
They were sent to by e-mail but when i view them its through sky viewer. It won't let me copy the image.
