 Hi Folks, time for our mid week 

News  Review !

Well it has had been a hectic weekend.

The home team did well, I guess Mountain View Racing have been around those bends quite a few times 

But a good mixture of running on both the Worlds End and Steelway Stages, and certainly different for both.

Worlds End Pass

Class A - Mountain View's Honda Civic were an eye's blink ahead of Team Demons, with Roadrunners Mclaren and Kessel Runs Lambo in hot pursuit.
Class B - Another disaster for the Green Merc, well trailing behind the other front runners - hope there is some more hairpin bend on the horizon 

But I thought a great run for Team Tilney's Audi, mixing it with the big boys, must get one of those.

Class C -Another Ford GT40 duel at the top from Team Demon & Yellow Devils, but further down the Ford Cortina of Woodland Plymouth was having a great run, probably the best so far, shame it missed the points by one place, certainly deserved one.

Steelway Park

Class A - Mountain View managed another first with the Honda again by a cats whisker (don't mention the cat) ahead of the Ford GT of Team Cube,  and probably a cats paw ahead of Roadrunners Mclaren.

Class B- Again the Yellow Devils Calibra sneaked ahead of the Green Merc of Team Demon, great to see them squabbling over first place, probably not  noticing that the Ferrari 365 of Minnis Racing  was creeping up on them both.

Class C - This time it was the Porsche 914/6 of Woodland Cornwall giving the Ford GT40 of Team Demon a close shave at the top, but also mid field Stirling Moss had found a new lease of life and powered his Mercedes 300SL round the circuit to grab some points. And even more impressive was the Ford Galaxie of miketheslot69, which previously had need a whole army of helpers to push it up the hillclimb around the bends of Worlds End, suddenly found another gear it has not found in any of the earlier stages. Even managing to get a photo podium place. Meanwhile Woodcotes Ford GT40 had gearbox problems and laid sadly at the bottom of the hill, whilst the driver scratched his head in disbelief.

So overall another action packed weekend, the good news is that Woodcotes Ford GT40 has been repaired by the Mountain View Garage and will make it's way (eventually) to join the others for the Goldrock Experience.

Overall then for the first time Team Demon top all the charts, with the Yellow Devils in hot pursuit.
Kessel run have quietly slipped into 2nd position with the Lambo for 2nd position, could still win this class yet.
The green Merc appears to edging ahead of the Calibra, but I think there is still abit to go yet and the battle of the Ford GT40's continues with the remaing field having their own little battles. 

So I wish Goldrock good luck for next instalment of the Road Race,

Hi Guys
Sorry for the delay posting ... 
Anyhow the cars arrived here at GoldRock safe and sound

i must say some of these cars have been an absolute revelation   
sadly a couple of cars have encountered problems early on ... namely SR's Ferrari 166 ( power problem will have a quick look in morning but no promises  ) , AW's megane ( its so low it hits every Scalextric barrier track connection  lug ) there are others , i will highlight in the results 
[attachment=14900][attachment=14901][attachment=14902]

 I think the Jaguar X120 won the 1st place Kev,  my Merc was 2nd, but I give myself an extra point for the fastest 50's lap 

Great drive for Triumph TR4

some footage of Class C

Class B results and podium

[attachment=14911][attachment=14912][attachment=14913]

the correct way up and hopefully the correct podium
with regard to the 50's results , i think my timekeeper made a mistake with the figures , the merc did indeed win but the numbers were recorded wrong , i will try and find the correct figures 

my time keeper left midway through Class B 
and my camera man left after Class B 
footage of Class B  should be available tomorrow 
sadly Class A will not have any footage as i am now on my lonesome 
i will try to provide better feedback for each car over the next few days
