  Good afternoon,

The SCOREBOARD did have a couple of errors due to my premature uploading.....must have been the anesthetic effect, but has been corrected now.

So the updated overall Points for Rounds 1-4
                           

   


Pitlane Review Rounds 1-4
Well alot can happen in a weeks Proxy racing, and we certainly saw some good action from the videos Ade has posted, I am particularly anxious to see what happend to my hiccupping Honda Civic, is this a track anomaly or a more serious imminent breakdown around the next corner......
Anyway we will soon be finding out tomorrow when the next Round is run.

1st Place - Savage GT - Mustang (75 pts)
2nd Place - Brumos RSR - Porsche 911 (57pts)

1st Place - Bangers Racing - BMW 3.0CSL (75pts)
2nd Place - Brumos RSR - BMW 2.8 (41pts)

Well after a short sharing of the leading position with RoadRunners Honda, Deadheads Audi A5 made the most of the mis firing Honda, and has once again extended the lead. Bangers Racing's Alfa 156 is gaining ground on RoadRunners Honda and could be good for a 2nd place challenge.

Conington Park has been run 

Cars all transported back to Roughwood for todays events. The track has not been run for some time, so after I cleared the dead bug husks the messy blinkin' spiders leave behind, not too mention their poop, I tested with one of my ex-club cars.
Grip isn't great, so the initial runners will benefit from having a very planted front end to keep them in the slot !

One car needed some attention, and has now been sorted, another was making some noises yesterday but seems fine when tested with a 9V battery this morning and no obvious problems I can see, so hopefully will be fine in action.

I am now off to enter the teams on the track PC in readiness for Brians arrival in a bit.

[Kevan]

Why only the 'initial runners'? Isn't grip going to be the same for everyone? I would have hoped you'd done hundreds of cleaning laps with your own cars before the first proxy cars went on track.

[classicchrisk]

Perhaps worth doing some verification runs at the end to ensure no early runners were unduly penalised by changing track conditions? 
We really need to be sure we have a level playing field.

[AdeC]

Apologies for the delay with the last two videos. They were recorded on a different device and I've been having issues with the format. Long story short, three different video editing programmes and a very long-winded file conversion later, and Round 4 Event 3 footage from Viking SCC is live:

[Kevan]

Watching now....

[Savage GT]

Re concerns over track grip.
I ran around 30 laps after cleaning with the hoover and feather duster and then when Brian arrived we retested with an NSR shod Carrera to ensure grip was up to scratch.
We have a tight schedule with 2 Proxy races over 2 days with 2 of us and I am satisfied we had a level playing field. 
If you feel otherwise, you can lodge a complaint with Graham and I will happily agree on whatever he decides.

I will wait until Brian has posted the Conington Park results before I post Roughwood's, to keep it all in order.
