We're Back Racing at Shenanigans Raceway!!
Race Report
This week see's us return to Shenanigans Raceway after several weeks of no racing due to COVID lockdowns and associated guidelines.
I've been looking forward to returning to racing with the guys on my track, Shenanigans Raceway. I had my fair share of car problems starting with my Ninco 1, it went through prep. and testing the day before, come today's double check and the motor for some reason decided to play funny games, smoked several times, it came to life and seemed down on power
All racers were in attendance this week which no doubt means chaos and shenanigans reign, as expected both these occurred many times throughout the afternoon, tempers raised and some shouting had to be done to be heard above the other chit chat, I have to say, today's race marshalling was absolutely abysmal, disgusting actually. Thinking we might need to do some marshalling practice, even with lane colour stickers on cars, cars were put back on in the wrong lane many, many times. Even the track call buttons were pushed through to China rather than a nice soft push. I don't know what the answer is to reslotting cars a track calls... just no idea.
Any who, this week saw various racers taking out the podiums, which is fantastic, the Most Outstanding was Joe, he made himself several podiums, just proves that a decent controller really does make improved results.
Jeffery was the most quiet of us all, he ran his own races and was great to watch his racing I tried encouraging him along when I could, he just needs to have a little faith in himself and his cars, his cars actually run great, real great.
The Leaderboards and Podiums were again obtained by a mix of racers across all events. Congratulations to everyone on your Leaderboard, Podium wins and great racing.
As is natural for myself, I performed a couple of 'coming through' deslots, even Joe got in on the action driving on trying to clear his way through a deslotted car, he tried but no go. This week still see's myself having trouble with my Ninco cars, onto the next issue to fix, the body mounting screws.
Chaos Report
The chaos certainly reigned today, with myself performing a Dukes Of Hazard manoeuvre coming off the overpass and driving right into the rear of Charlie continuing mowing him down with me driving right over the the top of Charlie's deslotted Pioneer Trans-Am. I hate car incidents like this as the damage sustained can be catastrophic, more so metal cars such as Revo's.
The absolutely most worse deslot was with Paul's Revoslot, brand spanking new and had substantial rear end damage, I could see that he was not at all happy with the resulting damage and I don't blame him, it is for this reason I'd rather throw a podium than damage someone's car regardless of price.
We saw Joe's Ninco Porsche Cup car lose it's mesh, over several laps the car finally had had enough and let go completely, I suspect this is much worse than we expect, I had a quick look at the pinion and crown and the crown itself was knurled from incorrect mesh and started to destroy the itself, I suspect the damage done will only be repaired with a full replacement of both the crown and pinion.
Guides, they really do a terrific job even though it is one of many items that could go wrong, these little blighters really do all the work, in very harsh conditions, sudden change, then back the other way in another instance, they handle hairpins under harsh racing conditions so we really should see more of these suckers snapping than what we see now.
To go with the gearing issue, we also saw Joe breaking one guide, he says it is what came with the car, he hasn't swapped it out for a wood guide as yet, strange that a factory guide would snap.
I, myself was not issue free, I again saw my Can-Am car vibrating loose it's rear screw which dropped into the slot, I found it smartly and suddenly when my car just stopped dead, there was that screw stuck fast in the slot between the guide and slot wall, thankfully there was no damage to the guide nor car, looks like another black dot sticker to go over the rear as the front has.
Without further jibbering on, here are the Leaderboard, Podium photos, Race Window and the Heat Window for racing at Wed 21st Apr, 2021 at Shenanigans Raceway.
