2026 Season - Rnd 1 - Jan 20th

With the best attendance for a while, 13 club members turned out to set up the 112' long 6 lane sport track, with the power set at 11 volts. (Remember, this is an 'Old School' no-mag, low voltage, electronic controller-free zone.)
 

Support race:  Club Scalextric Porsche 911gt3's - slightly modified. 3 minute heats.

       

 

The  club cars were very closely matched and used IROC style, produced some very close racing that was reflected in the overall results. Mark J took first place by 1.6 laps from Graham, who was just two thirds of a lap ahead of third place man David. The rest of the field were a little more spread out but the tail enders, Wayne and James finished within a tenth of a lap, so it was close throughout.

       

 

Main Race: Owner/Driver Policar Maserati GT's upgraded with 20K rpm motors.

       

 

 The main race gave the drivers six four minute heats against as many different drivers as possible. The Policar Maseratis, sourced 'box stock', came in a limited choice of colours so many had chosen to paint or decal their cars to make them more easily recognised in the heat of battle. 

       

Previous meetings had shown the standard motors to be a bit underwhelming on the big track, they are supposed to be 'home racers' after all, so the club funded  and supplied upgraded Pendle 20k motors, some of which were fitted at a 'workshop' earlier in the evening.

       

Racing was fast and furious with Graham's Coca Cola car taking the win over David and Mark J. 

       

With strict rules as to what COULDN'T be done it was surprising to see such a disparity between the top seven and the six making up the rest of the field. Still, a good move upgrading the motors for the big track, making the racing much more enjoyable.

2026 Season - Rnd 2 - Feb 20th

Numbers were decimated by family commitments , re-arranged Christmas stage plays, a reunion dinner and illness. (The club members wish all the best to James for a speedy recovery.)
 
Nevertheless the meeting was still viable, with eight members making it for round two of the 2026 season. They just had to be quick on their feet to cover race control, all the marshalling points AND take photos.
 
Support: Club Scalextric Karts.
 
First off were the Karts and as with any open wheeled racers, with a lot of drifting there was the inevitable tangle of wheels. Shaun weathered the storm best, cutting through the carnage to win by half a lap from Mark R, with Vic a further lap back to complete the podium.

                           
 
Mains: Owner/driver  Sports GT cars.
                                                    
There were many really fast cars on show, from various manufacturers including NSR, Slot.it and Thunderslot. 

                       

Racing was close across all the heats, Mark W eventually coming out the runaway winner with his blue Thunderslot, four laps ahead of David in second spot with Vic in third less than half a lap down and chasing David hard.

                 
                                                                            
                                                                                They think it's all over! It is now. Mark W's winning Thunderslot.
