PART 2 The final Revoslot Endurance Challenge ..”battle of the Merseysider” or Who can eat the most cake?

The final outcomes of the race and the Battle of the Merseysiders BOM .


Most important part of the event was and is, the social aspect were members of both clubs had a chance to mingle and chat ( not forgetting the cake eating part too ) .
Everyone appeared to enjoy the evening although with all events there are a few learning points for the organisers ( me in particular here) where improvements for next year can be applied. I appreciate some teams had car problems and some had ? rockets to contain, my own opinion is I enjoyed the 15 min endurance team configuration and I obviously have a liking for the Revoslot cars, which do just get quicker with the more running you give them.
So the race itself was as follows .

Two Scousers … Senior Service … oops sorry Ted Ted Martin and Phil Hayes Finish 1 Trophy Winners .??



Los Toros. Finish 2 Paul Cooper and Luis Eduardo Pez
Day Trippers them Beatle loving pair. Finish 3 Pete Crane and Mike Broadbent.
Guys gorillas ( sorry for the name! just remember select a name yourself or the admin will appoint one in your honour ) finish 4 Mike Guy and Phil Clayton
Pot Luck finish 5 Peter Wright and Kev Lea
TRUSPEED finish 6 ( note a long pit stop reducing their pace and lap accumulation. Steve Hills and again Kev Lea.
WSR finish 7 Learning a new track which brought difficulties “possible sat nav malfunction”. You were dam quick on the south side of the Mersey. Paul Taylor and John Dodds.
PG TIPPS finish 8 Again, car issues spoilt their race ..commiserations ..rebuild for next year . Paul Minnis and Geoff Taylor
So we’ll done to the Ted and Phil combo the winning margin was just over half a lap.. seems you got Los Toros on the green lane pace . Dam you ?

So on to the BOM Championship where only the teams completing on both tracks could score ..
Final Points
Pot Luck 29
Los Toros 27
2Scousers 26
Day Trippers 21 better total laps
WSR 21
PG Tips 6

Where teams scored equal points the total amounts of laps then became the deciding factor.
So a big cheer for Peter and Kev on their victory .
The interesting aspect was the strengths of teams on their home tracks along with their ability to find the pace on the away track which became the key to performance and hence Points.

Overall the event was a success in achieving a great event along with exciting races.The Main Objective was to deliver a social interaction between clubs and a opportunity for members to experience a different track and the two do present challenges. Not forgetting to have FUN along with competition.

A BIG THANK YOU to Steve Hill of TRUSPEED for the event prizes of metal car carrying cases for the first and second teams.
Paul Taylor of WSR for. 3D chassis vouchers for all podium finishers. ( for those who have not tried one of Paul’s chassis you should give it a go .. I like scaly touring cars up grades the best.
