Race reports - 5th May - Saloon + Sports
With club members away, working or not able to attend, we had three drivers and decided to race 5 minute heats without marshalls and shout ‘TRACK’ when a deslot happened.
Both Saloon and Sports results are affected by the number of track calls as the race timer carried on whilst we stopped. If the deslot was at the computer end of the track the timer was paused.
Saloon
All three cars entered were Open class, Geoffs Opel Calibra was easily the quickest down the main straight whilst Mike’s Mustang and Kev’s Camaro were fairly closely matched.
Race #1 - Kev’s Camaro in front in Yellow whilst Geoff’s Opel in Red just finished 2.5 seconds ahead of Mike’s Mustang in Blue.
Race #2 - Kev’s Camaro in front in Blue with Geoff’s Opel just over a lap behind in Yellow and Mike’s Mustang just over a lap behind in Red.
Race #3 was the quickest of the three with only one ‘TRACK’ shout, all three drivers setting best lane scores in this race and Geoff’s Opel setting the overall best lane score whilst racing the Blue lane. Mike managed the second best lane score whilst in the Yellow lane whilst Kev’s Camaro lead for a few minutes whilst in the Red lane but couldn’t stop first Geoff’s Opel then Mike’s Mustang from getting past.
Race wins in heat order for Kev & Geoff
Sports
All three Moslers cars were the original chassis & pod layout and white kits.
The race order was mixed up after the Saloons with Kev in Red, Mike in Yellow and Geoff in Blue.
Geoff managed a best score in heat #3 in the Yellow lane
Mike managed a best score in heat #2 in Blue
Kev managed a best score in heat #3 in Blue’s
Again the races were interrupted by ‘TRACK’ calls but at the end of the night it felt like we had some great racing.
