The haulers will soon be unloading all the cars for this weekend's Winter Series Finale. It promises to be an action-packed couple of days, featuring all the classes we've run since November - both the NHRA and Nostalgia themes.
I'll be posting pictures of the cars a little later, together with a full entry list and line-up. However, the schedule should look something like this...
- Friday 12 March - meet the cars + Qualifying 1 + Best in Show / Best in Series
- Saturday 13 March - Qualifying 2 + Match Racing + Nostalgia T-Jet + Micro Scalextric Super Stock 6.0 + Micro Scalextric Street Stock
- Sunday 14 March - Qualifying 3 + Match Racing + AW Top Fuel + NHRA Funny Car / Pro Stock + Nostalgia Funny Car + Nostalgia Micro Scalextric 2019
I hope you can tune in and enjoy the action!

There's quite a few cars there - 72 if I counted correctly - plus another NHRA 4-Gear (Alan) and a Nostalgia Funny Car (Dylan & Noah) not pictured... and maybe one or two I might have forgotten.
We have 20 cars in Micro Scalextric Street Stock; 13 in Super Stock 6.0; 11 in Nostalgia T-Jet; 10 in Nostalgia 4-Gear Funny Car; 8 in NHRA Funny Car / Pro Stock; 6 in NHRA Top Fuel; and 6 in Nostalgia Micro Scalextric 2019.
There are also goodies from the NTRA / NitroSlots crew, Santa Pod, Slots n Stuff and SlotRacer Online. Plus the usual medals and event stickers. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the goody stash this series. There's also a present for Rose, which I am sure she'll enjoy very much!

Andy thought that the flame stencils I used were made by Bill, so if that's the case, many thanks for donating
them to your fellow racers and many congratulations on the Best in Series win
