Race reports - 30th June - Slot Rally

   

We had a good turnout tonight, 20 cars and a great fun atmosphere.



Brian is a good sport as he referred to his secret code book numerous times for the ‘Enigma Machine’ (controller) he wasn’t put off as he drove the Peugeot 206 to a class win in Open 2WD and two runners-up spots in Prostock Classic and Prostock 2WD.  His best performer tonight was the NSR Porsche in Prostock 2WD.

   

Geoff’s Moggy Minor was the car to beat in Prostock Small Classic with Mike’s Alpine A110 finishing a few seconds behind in either direction round TT Grandstand. Geoff’s Toyota Supra managed a runners-up spot in Open 2WD, keeping up with Brian’s Peugeot in the anti clockwise run.  His best car tonight was the Scaleauto Peugeot in Prostock 2WD.



Kev rallied a couple of Standard class cars, the Ninco Lancia 037 in the 80’s class the best of the two, the Ninco Jaguar in the Classic class tripped up a couple of times despite having most of the ballast removed put back in.  The big Mustang Mach 1 went well in Prostock Classic to finish ahead of Brian’s yellow DeTomato.  The Volvo 850 that was a bit hasty last time out ended up his best car tonight winning Prostock 2WD whilst up against a couple of quick cars in Brian’s NSR Porsche and Geoff’s Scaleauto Peugeot.

   

Mike H was seen tuning a Lancia Stratos…it was going really well after ballast tuning tips from Kev but extra weight added just before the Rally started seemed to hinder the cars performance…two steps forward and three steps backwards it seems. The Renault Alpine A110 went well in Prostock Small Classic, keeping Geoff’s Moggy 1000 honest.  The Ninco Toyota Celica went just as well as the Alpine as the sole entry in Standard Ninco 2WD.  A class win in Prostock 80’s for the Ford RS200 was a nice surprise.

   

Gav’s AC Cobra was a real surprise going really well and was his best performing car tonight and the sole entry in Open Small Classic.  The NSR Abarth 500 was one of six Prostock 2WD entries tonight and should go better with some ballast. The Metro 6R4 was runner-up in Prostock 80’s behind Mike’s RS200 whilst the Porsche 997 was one of three Open 2WD entries.
