And while I take a short break from writing my reports (I can see this being a late night) thanks to all the competitors in the NW Championship (and well done to all of those who have won pots). As I said earlier this year I really enjoyed coming to Oulton and being made to feel so welcome.

Obviously particular thanks to Diz for being so helpful and to Nat Murphy for the cake (very tasty again today, and I'm fairly sure there was no one lurking with a camera).

Thanks Diz, you have made my re-entry to the sport more entertaining, with your caustic wit, than i could ever have imagined. Seriously you do a great job and i am sure everybody is greatful. It a fantastic championship and i have been made to feel more than welcolme by everyone. Look forward to comming back next year. See you at Walter Hayes.

Sorry forgot. Congratulations to all the Championship winners.

diz · 19 Sep 2004, 21:04 (Ref:1101390)

OK then Ray. Congratulations to yesterday's Class C winner. What a wonderful fuel calculation by Nick and the UCLan crew to have you run out on the slowing down lap.

Good job I've found that my hotel on the Isle of Man has 'free' internet access and I won't be having 10/10ths withdrawal symptoms.

Ian Sowman · 19 Sep 2004, 21:12 (Ref:1101395)

And there was I thinking I'd have some peace this week...

Redracer77 · 19 Sep 2004, 21:14 (Ref:1101396)

Well done to all the winners in the class of 2004 and good luck to Steve Roberts for the rest of the year and in bigger and better things in 2005.

Can't wait till the 2005 series starts already. Maybe I can do the full season next year!!

Lets hope it rains for the WHT!!

foreversideways · 19 Sep 2004, 21:23 (Ref:1101403)

Thanks diz. Dont forgret to give the Tapas Bar in Castletown a try while you are over there. very good.

Walshy · 19 Sep 2004, 23:05 (Ref:1101467)

Well done Champs. Excellent standard this year as always in the North West and long may it continue. Hopefully with everything sorted for next year, I'll be back giving it some for the North West pre '90 Championship!!!!!!!

Cheers Diz. Always helpful, always friendly, always accomodating. **** jokes though. You need to brush up. I'll send a few more your way.

Did you hear the one about...........Maybe later

I really think the NW has took a turn for the better in respect of all the drivers getting to know each other and helping each other. The paddock is a friendly place to be and with the talk of next years new cars and drivers coming in, it really looks as though it's gonna be the Championship to be involved in.

See you at the Festival for the curry night whoevers going?

From a marshal's perspective, thanks to all the guys & gals involved. You've scared us, you've joined us on the bank, you've fed us & you've certainly kept us busy - many a marshal has earned an upgrade signature thanks to you - but above all you've entertained us with some great racing!

Special thanks to Diz for his efforts in bringing drivers & marshals together; now if we can just persuade certain drivers that they don't need to pop in & visit us in the middle of a race.......

Redracer77 · 20 Sep 2004, 15:42 (Ref:1102090)

Hi Dave I was looking out for you, Garry and Derek on the slow down lap but could only see Derek!!! Where were you at? Was it you at Knickerbrook?

StephenRae · 20 Sep 2004, 16:49 (Ref:1102161)

Congratulations to all who beat me this year (Too many to list) Well done to all the post 86ers who never failed to put on a good show and thanks to all the marshalls and BRSCC gang for all their good work.
I should take this chance to thank Dave Hart and the rest of the Wirral Mafia for all their help this year but I am pre-occupied with trying explain my new signwriting to my friends in the congregation at Kingdom Hall.

Can I echo everyone else's comments:not only congratulations to all the winners but to everyone who made the championship what it is: the best in the uk

All the drivers have contributed to this years series well done to everyone

to all the marshals, organisers, Chris for instigating the fabulous clubff1600 website, Ian Sowman for his tireless work for the "cause" and to diz for his never ending enthusiasm for anything FF1600.

MikeM · 21 Sep 2004, 10:39 (Ref:1102747)

Same for me, I've really enjoyed it and especially all the people involved. Many thanks.

Cannot wait for next season!
