| Thank you Andy for the lovely write up and concise feedback on the racing element. Graham, you are absolutely correct and anything worth doing does take time to develop. Form small acorns.... With a bit more planning and communication for what to expect from Goodwood next year, I am sure there will be a few more takers. I recall a previous year when I handed over a set of 6 prepped Scalextric Caterhams to the Black Country club and they had a fantistic battle on the Slot Track Scenics Silverstone. I am sure there are many more who would like to have a go. If we could dedicate time to clubs for heats between themselves and then a final of interclub teams, that would create some healthy competition, but allow for racing amongst known entities in the first instance. And how ironic our conversation on grub screws was repeated by Andy. I use M2 x 6mm as recommended by Angelo. Here is a link to them: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361344804728?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=XxraILF5SAK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=MB-bH0tfRGW&var=630687316172&widget_ver=artemis&media=FB_MSG At the end of the day, whilst it was full on with only just enough marshals to manage the track, everyone on the team had a great day. Today we had a full compliment of marshals and I even managed to spend a bit of time taking in the show and making a few purchases :-) We will definately have a nascar fleet prepped for racing on Goodwood next year, which would be a nod to the 2023 Revival where they had a demonstration of 20 odd NASCARS running around Goodwood. And finally, thank you Graham for explaining the Proxy racing idea, which could offer another great opportunity for getting cars out on Goodwood through the year. And finally, finally.... thank you to everyone who either paid to race or made a donation to Mission Motorsport. |
