[Top Down]

October 14th report:

Great to see numbers holding up in double figures, with ten racers and an eleventh making race control his own for the night.

Support race - Club Karts

       
   

First up were Club Scalextric karts, with David taking the win by just a fifth of a lap from Mark, Vic filling out the podium less than 2 laps further back. The top five were covered by just 3.9 laps, 'not-so-newbie Max' firmly joining that group 2.9 laps ahead of 'the rest'.

'The rest', the next five, were even more tightly grouped, 1.2 laps covering fifth to tenth places. The karts make a great warm up race for the Mains, getting everyone into the groove for the faster owner/driver class.  

MAINS - Owner/driver Sports/GT (with unlimited motors and any chassis config.)

   

The colourful grid was made up from many 1:1 and 1:32 manufacturers with Ninco, Slot.it, NSR and modified Scalextric being represented.

       
       
       

   

This class usually comprises two rounds combined to give an overall score. Round one is run clockwise, round two anti-clockwise (or V.V.!). 

The podium was filled by the same three 'embedded' club members, David, Mark and Vic but this time in a different order. Vic elevated himself to the top step, deposing David to the third, whilst Mark remained consistent, holding second place again. As per the karts, less than four laps covered the leaders with another relative newcomer Ben pushing through to finish within that bracket in fourth place. 

Bill marked the divide between the lead group and the rest of the field, running a lonely race midway between the two.

Next meeting: Sat 4th Nov. time 5pm-10pm.

Where? The usual place:

Gt. Whelnetham Community Centre, 
Stanningfield Road,
Bury St. Edmunds. 
IP30 0TX
