2025 Season - Rnd 8 - Aug 16th

Eleven club members turned up and got stuck in to some track maintenance. The 110 foot 6 lane sport track, built back in 2012, needed some soldering on the spade terminals and the  joints at the end of each modular track needed the loose rails securing. 

Support race: Club Policar Rally cars.

With the evenly matched cars, close racing was the order of the day. The more experienced driver, David, came home in first place - but only by two thirds of a lap ahead of the rest of the field. The next six places were covered by less than a lap, with Shaun second and Vic third. Mark J, Ben, Graham and Bill took the next four spots. There was then a bit of a gap back to Mark W. who plugged the gap less than a lap behind in eighth. The remaining trio of Alan, Wayne and James were three laps down but enjoyed a great battle, the three being covered just two fifths of a lap.

                     

 

Main race: Owner/Driver Rally cars.

Alan and Shaun dropped out of this class, leaving nine to compete for the win. Being the owner/driver class there was quite a mix of 1:1 and 1/32 makes racing, which helped to split the results into four groups. Mark J's newly revamped Metro chassis and 21K motor came home in first position, a tenth of a lap ahead of Ben. Almost two laps back were David and Vic but again the margin between them was tight, just a fifth of a lap, David taking third spot making it a great night for him. There was a two and a half lap gap to the third group but once again it was very tight between them Less than a lap covered Graham Bill and Mark W, in that order, James and Wayne bringing up the rear.

A very successful night on the refurbished track.
