Thanks Kevan, I'll have a look later

Woodland Fort stage
NOW... back to business, Youtube has been uploading for about 2 hours, currently on file 2 of 11   we might have a wait for this  


Track power was reduced to 11.9v (couldn't get a steady 12) at that voltage 5 seconds is a good lap for anything but a highly tuned scratchbuild.

but to the results, because there were only 5 of us we decided to run the evening as a time trials rather than races, 2 driving and 3 marshalling, each car having a 2 minute run on an inner and an outer lane, most laps in 2 minutes to give a result, this is counted to 0.01 of a lap but in the event of a tie we would use the fastest single lap (counted to 0.001 sec)


Deciding to run this format BEFORE we started saved a decision on the second pair of heats when the Scarab lost power on right hand bends, we eliminated controller or lane problems, I'm guessing it is a lead wire (I'll try to check before they are collected) but at least it got one clean run.

Everything else ran VERY smoothly, the only other problem to report is that the Ferrari Squalo of Team RNLI bounces it's way along the track nicely, on closer inspection it has a bent rear axle.

Class A was a clear battle between the 2 silver arrows, Roadrunners claiming victory by a clear lap, the Bugatti claimed the last spot on the podium.

Class B, The second of the Coopers arrived on the day of the racing and immediately was right on the pace, pushing the Roadrunners cars to the limit, the eventual gap was 0.02 of a lap, had they tied the Courtney Sport car had the faster single lap, Bangers Porsche took the final podium spot.

Class C was the closest podium with 0.04 of a lap covering the top 3, Ruscillos Ferrari shaded the win with the Tatters Williams and the Shadow of Mountain View tied behind, the decision taken by the fastest single lap gave it to the Williams by 0.019 of a second  PHEW!!

Class D was far less stressful Courtneys McLaren taking the win by over a lap from Team Cubes Williams (HOW long is this car???) and the Dallara taking 3rd.

   

Once again lets me say on behalf of all our members THANK YOU for allowing us to drive your beautiful cars, we had a great evening and cant wait for the next proxy if we are honoured with another hosting.

Good luck to all participants for the remaining stages.
