Race results and report - 3rd October 2024 - 50’s & 60’s Monsters & Minis

   
.
The 5th of this years 6 theme nights, 50’s & 60’s Monsters & Minis was sure to put smiles on our faces, definite favourites seen on track. Mike’s mk 7 Jag, Andy’s Cadillac Le Monstre, the usual Minis…joined for the first time in this event by Ed’s Mustang, Brian’s Dodge Charger and Kev’s Ford Galaxie 500.
.
Sadly the video captured lags constantly for some unknown reason, nothing was changed on the laptop or the program settings since last week…
…but the most striking heat was the last Monsters race with Andy’s Le Monstre on one side and Kev’s Galaxie 500 on the other and Mike’s Mk7 Jag in the middle lane being passed at the same time twice by these other two cars coming out of the same corner…how on earth did three huge land barges like this corner side-by-side and make no contact!
.
The other two Monsters were also great to watch, both well setup by Brian & Ed over the last few weeks and will be seen again soon…
.
The Minis were also impressive, not as quick as the Monsters…except Brian’s Mini which was quicker now and again than his Dukes of Hazzard Dodge…
.
One Moggy Racer and five Minis kept you on your toes as they lull you into a false sense of security…then OFF!...great fun though.
.
The original idea was a team handicap using the qually times but there isn’t a fair way to do that without someone feeling disadvantaged…but next time will be down to who you choose as a team-mate.

It was a great evening of racing and I can't wait for another ‘M&M’ night.
