Round 2 South Manchester Slot Racing Club

Cars all arrived very safe and sound from Graham (possibly missing a wing from a Maserati but I will have another check!) and SMSRC will be attempting to live up to the high standards of hosting in what will be our first proxy event.

Fate has conspired against plans to use 2 different tracks for the day and night rounds (maintenance on our Catalunya track is happening this month) so we will be holding the event on 2 lanes of our 3 Rivers Track. Dusk will be easily achievable with no natural light at T'Mill, head torches may be needed!

   

Long fast sweeping track that rewards a smooth car that can be pushed through the Esses and round the carousel. 


Class A - We have never run a standard scalextric class on this track so will be interesting to see how they go
   

Class B - Rules are very similar rules  to our Slot.it/Sideways class that can hit 6.0 second times on a good day.
   

Class C - A similar selection of cars to our Kinrara class so we know that the racing can be fast and furios despite the elegant nature of the cars
   

Class D - NSR classics seem to dominate this group so we expect to see quick times, at Wales and West the NSR classics get down into the 6 second range - but the Matra was the club favourite when we ran slot.it/NSR classics as club class, it could be the one to beat.
   

I will post a few videos of the cars lining up tomorow. Racing will be on Saturday evening.
