 When the late Colin Nichols ran the club our 6 hour endurance race became a Christmas/ New Year tradition but in recent years the event hasn't been run so on 30th December the club finished off our 2023 programme with a 4 hour endurance race for Slot It Group C cars built to the same regulations as we race on club nights.


 We had 5 teams of three racers comprising some of our regular members, David Lawson and Colin Spark (RS Slot Racing) who only get to race with us occasionally and we welcomed two members of GT Raceway who had very little experience of racing on wood.

 Estuary Equipe were the early leaders but, after the lunch break they were overhauled by Team SSRC The event was won by Team SSRC (1228 laps), followed by Estuary Equipe (1178 laps). Third place had been close all day but it was finally English American Racing (1137 laps) ahead of GT Raceway (1123 laps) and Maltesers (1057 laps).

 Thanks to Graham for organising an enjoyable event and hopefully we can tempt a few more members of GT Raceway to join us for our next endurance event which should be a 600 lap NASCAR race in April.
