Race results - 6th Jan 2022
 
Club Revoslot

   

A good turnout for the first event of 2022, a welcome return of a healthy looking Dave and a young newcomer Tommy who’s Dad last raced on a slot car track in the 80’s.
No Chris who was recovering from covid-booster-itis (it has many side effects, some worse than others) and no Michael who has recently been isolating also due to covid…let’s hope 2022 isn’t going to see too much of this.
 
The Club Revos have had the deep guides fitted and all 4 cars had their front tyres trued to the same size as the yellow car which is the easiest of the 4 to drive. This is to ensure full guide depth in the slot…and track records fell numerous times tonight.
 
The new visitor, young Tommy listened well, cleaned the tyres and a 7.1 sec lap is pretty good managed a best time in Yellow with the Marcos.
 
Dave had a re-run in Red after a braid was pulled out due to a mirror falling off the car in the next lane.  The next two heats Geoff and Gavin raced with the spare car in Red which wasn’t as quick as the regular car.
 
Everyone else had a mix of good and bad luck as the races weren’t seeded. 
 
Heat wins in heat order for Mike, Kev, Dave, Geoff & Andy
