Race reports - 12th May - Club Challenge #3
Six competitors tonight.
30 minutes of car checkup, cleaning and final testing before we got started.
5 qually laps then one round of 5 minute heats plus one round of 2.5 minute heats.
Round 1.
Despite numerous and in some cases unexplained deslots two heats had very close racing.
Heat 1 was a race between the top three qualifiers and saw Andy & Kev finish within 1.5 seconds and heat 6 saw Mike B & Geoff finish within 2.9 seconds.
Heat 4 saw a close race for 2nd spot between Chris & Kev, both finishing within 5.5 seconds.
Round 1: Race wins in heat order for Andy, Brian, Kev & Mike B
Round 2.
As time was getting on we ran Round 2 in 2.5 minutes with the top three qualifiers the same but mixed the other drivers slightly.
It’s fair to say Geoff’s once pristine Mosler is now definitely race worn whilst Brian managed to avoid a repeat of the full chat crash under the tunnel in Yellow from Round 1.
Heat 1 saw Andy & Kev finish within 0.15 seconds, heat 5 saw Kev & Brian finish within 0.17 seconds with Mike B only 2.5 seconds behind. Heat 6 saw Mike B & Chris finish within 2.3 seconds.
Heat 3 saw a close race for 2nd spot between Chris & Mike B within 0.18 seconds.
Round 2: Race wins in heat order for Andy, Brian, Kev & Mike B
