110 writeup, Dirt Nationals Round 4 with Escape Goat Racing

Finally having a running engine in the 110 Richard Hopkins and I were excited to get out on track and see what we could do! Pre-running on Friday humbled us right away with a badly placed rock taking out our rear propshaft and turning it into a Turkey Twizzler. Quick fix back in the pits and we went out for Qualifying - goal: Just get 'er done. A decent lap we actually used for pre-running, where a three point turn on a rock garden put us a minute behind the quali leader, sitting us at the back of the pack for the next day's grid starts. Not an issue, kept us out of the dust cloud and meant we were an ace camera car.

Saturday morning we start off with a lot of excitement, squishing our way through the pack and doing some mad overtakes (and undertakes) much to some people's surprise! I definitely heard us get shouted at as we squished through a gap... also leaving some sections of our bodywork behind. First heat we got in a couple of great laps before bending the front steering arm so badly we had to retire. Popped a tyre on the way to a safe spot too.
Second heat we went out again and did much the same on the start line, losing a bit more bodywork! We didn't get very far before being defeated by .. ?? A TREE!?? We let the 110 have a little lie down for a bit until our GOAT HERO Gwyn Lewis came to the rescue. As that was outside assistance we had to sit out the rest of the heat. Heat three we returned, feeling once again confident that we could eke back some points, but what we thought was a fuelling issue but on inspection in the pits it turned out to be a failed rotor arm! Simple fix and ready to go back out in the morning.

Those rocks were relentless!!

Back out for Sunday morning it was fun racing again, nipping between gaps and chasing people down until once again a rock bit us in the steering arm, completely removing it. Richard Hopkins and I sat out on track and helped point fellow competitors around the rock that bit us, unfortunately a few others lost steering arms to the same nasty creature. Fixed that, then back out for heat 2 - where part of the course had become so churned up we couldn't make it over an obstacle. We towed Jack Raymond Knibbs and James Wainwright in the Jimny back off it a few times to see if they could, then we both had to wave the white flag and call it a day. We couldn't make progress without serious damage and the previous route had been blocked off for the Class 1 and 2 cars. During this sit-out, Holly Evans at GOON Racing had a small issue on track, but was quickly surrounded and sorted by almost all the Goats, media and all! On speaking to the race organisers they were really wonderful and sorted out the churned section for heat 3, the superfinal. Unfortunately it wasn't to be for the 110, as we lowered the jack down after a pre-heat underside inspection we noticed the lower ball joint on the passenger side was unreasonably wobbly, so with not enough time to fix it and an expensive hub at risk, we decided to retire the 110 for that heat. We had LOADS of fun watching Team Jimny go up against the class 1 cars.

On the surface it looked like a frustrating weekend for the 110 crew, but we really loved getting back out on track and having a chance to properly go for it - all the issues we encountered were just par for the course!

Happy to be starting to support this local business with our media and photo skills, started by a youngster with a true passion for MMA and BJJ. If you're near the Forest of Dean and interested in combat sport, take a look.

It’s taken 18 months to bring this gym to life and part of the reason we’ve been able to open is through the support of our sponsors…local businesses that believed in the vision and saw the opportunity to not only help bring MMA to the forest but to help build their brand and reputation in the local community!

It’s been so crazy since we opened that I haven’t properly acknowledged them yet, so you’re going to see more about these awesome businesses over the coming weeks as I share more about them all.

The signs are all currently being made to display in the gym with their business logos and websites on and I can’t wait to get them on the walls to show you all 💛🖤

The boys putting in a super fast qualifying lap at Round 3 of the Dirt Nationals here in the UK. We're really proud of Jack at this event. He absolutely smashed it overcoming some big obstacles which will be coming in our main videos. But for now enjoy the pace...and yes it is a 1.3 not a 1.6 😲
