Race reports - 6th October - 60’s Minis & 60’s Mustangs
 
With a few club members not able to get down to the club tonight we had enough drivers for a nights racing with two marshals and two drivers per heat.
For a change we had an even number of Minis and Mustangs (or alternative).
 
60’s MINI’s

   
 
Chris borrowed Andy’s quick Minisprint and Mike borrowed Kev’s Mini Clubman last raced by Brian (who now has his own Mini).
 
Heat #1. One Mini was head and shoulders ahead of the other three, Chris drove a super quick Minisprint exceptionally well and no matter how much turbo was added to Kev’s controller his Mini wasn’t going to keep up.
Heat #2. Brian raced his Mini for the first time, on a WAC chassis it goes remarkably well and is a popular setup in the club.
Heat #4. Mike has a Mini but it’s stuck in a particular development stage that isn’t going to see progress so borrowed Kev’s original Mini but fitted with a quicker motor than last time, it also goes well.
 
Heat wins in heat order for Chris, Brian & Kev
 
All in all, between us we have a fair selection of well sorted Minis.
 
60’s MUSTANGS (and alternatives) 

   
 
Heat #1. Kev’s modified black Mustang was too quick for Mikes Pioneer Mustang, those kit tyres seemed to work well for Mike until he pushed the car too hard.  
 
Heat #2. Brian doesn’t have a Mustang so borrowed Chris’s black Camaro…and didn’t he enjoy racing it!...two heat wins to the black Camaro…Chris obviously pleased to see his Camaro go well but would have preferred to see it follow his Mustang over the line.
 
Chris prepped a nice red Mustang for these Minis & Mustangs races, when he’s not pushing it too hard it’s very consistent (and would make a nice Classic class Rally car).
 
Mike should be commended for doing a good job with a standard Pioneer Mustang, it was the nicest looking car on the track but outgunned by the race prepped opposition.
 
A best run for Mike in Heat #4 in Yellow.
A best run for Chris in Heat #6 in Yellow
A best run for Kev in Heat #5 in Blue
A best run for Brian in Heat #4 in Blue
 
Heat wins in heat order for Kev, Brian & Chris

Next week is Slot Rally.  Both stages are set up and TT Grandstand is packed full of spectators and feels different to drive round.
