Mr White is a fancier beyond your dreams and a gentleman to boot . still deemed unfit by the SNFC lolI do believe you have missed my point of view Steve as I have never at any time denigrated Race Controllers and my point is A CONVOYER SHOULD BE TO MY MIND A FANCIER OR X FANCIER NOT SOMEONE CAPABLE OF DRIVING A TRUCK. and please dont forget to include the addition of Mr when using surnames as it is bad manners.

moscow master Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Reading this thread and to be honest it'll not matter a shi t of a difference who's controlling them as for years now your lucky to get a toss from 20 miles without getting blootered never mind 550 miles problem in my opinion is in the sky until that changes you can go any route you like you'll still get the same outcome unfortunately. Ps I'm no channel flyer and good luck whoever does the job even on a perfect day with perfect transportation you'll still have erratic racing aw ra best for 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
