[Top Down]

Oct 2nd. Track - 'Short Bentleys'.

The short-lived petrol crisis led to a smaller turn-out than expected but it was good to see Martin joining the group - and to hear that Jaeson is hoping to return, on October 23rd. Hopefully more will come back to the club as confidence returns.

The first class was American Muscle and yet again I missed this through the double whammy of the national petrol crisis, plus Covid hitting our family. Good to hear that the grandchildren have made a quick recovery but 'mum and dad' are taking a bit longer. Fingers crossed for a family reunion before too long.  

LOVE that '63 Galaxie of Vic's. 

Mark cleaned up in this class but Martin made a great showing in second place. 

   

Next up were the ever popular club Trucks, which as usual levelled the playing field. Mark took the win again but it was a very tight field, with little over a lap between each of the top four. Martin was new to these, finishing six laps down - but I'd have given him a fighting chance of not being last if I could have made the meeting.  

   

Finally, new to all, were the very smart looking 'Vic-built' Rally Peugeot's. With the liveries changed by some detail painting and added lane stickers the base chassis were honed to give as even a performance as possible, any differences being dealt with by running them IROC style. This again gave a very tight grouping of just a lap between each of the first four, Shaun taking the win from Mark and Martin halving the distance between himself and fourth place. Let's hope that encourages another visit 

   

Next meeting:  Oct 23rd. Classes T.B.A.
