Mike Dove Memorial Classic Grand Prix 2024 - Kevan - 14th-Jul-24

Race report - 11th July 2024 - Mike Dove Memorial Classic Grand Prix 

[attachment=36247]
.
We had a grid full of cars...but no marshals tonight so 'TRACK!' was called with every deslot...yes there were a few.
.
We decided to race with the track at 12V which made the cars easier to drive.
We also ran six minute heats to make up for all the predicted deslots and race stoppages.
.
First round was a grid full of Standard Class Cartrix cars, Ed & Kevs cars with Cartrix motors which have no brakes and Brian's D50 with a Scalextric motor as his motor died...still classed as a 'Back 2 Basics' as it's a bog standard motor that's still slow.
.
Ed raced the same car all night with what turned out to be a broken guide holder...he had to drive carefully and limp through the last three races.
.
Second round saw Brian's Vanwall and Kev's Merc W154 join Ed's Cartrix.
.
At the end of the night we enjoyed racing these at the lower voltage.
