Rally reports - 16th March - TT Grandstand & Little Druidale - 

A good turnout tonight, seven drivers and 28 cars.

We tried an experiment, after everyone ran their first two cars, the first two drivers swapped over to the other stage.  What should have happened was after everyone had run another two cars the first two drivers of this second round would swap stages.  This didn’t happen, it needs organising better next time so everyone sees all the cars in action and makes it easier for the report writer.
…I know that’s totally confusing to read but it was good to see most of the cars in action rather than just the ones in our group.

Standard - five Standard class cars were raced, the only contested class was Standard 2WD with MikeH getting the best time with his Toyota Celica GT4 (or is that GT2) finished ahead of Ed’s Cossie.
- Geoff’s Jag XK120, Ed’s Lancia 037 and Kev’s Peugeot 307 were the other standard cars.

Class wins: Geoff, Ed, Mike H & Kev

   

ProStock - three Classics, ten 2WD and three 4WD.

- Kev, Mike H and Ed in ProStock Classic.  Ed’s Porsche was his best car overall, Kev’s TR7 had a development chassis (which didn’t work) and Mike’s Alpine A310 was his second best car overall. 
- ProStock 2WD - we were only saying last Slot Rally that Mike B’s NSR Porsche was a class winner, tonight he finished comfortably clear with Brian & Geoff in hot pursuit with NSR, Scaleauto and modified Scaley cars.  Mike B’s Ferrari F430 made a smashing start to his evening…smashing into the walls on a few occasions which didn’t do overall stage times any favours.  Mike H & Ed were the other two drivers with cars in this class.
Geoff’s Peugeot 208 was one of three cars finishing less than a second apart overall in 2WD.
- ProStock 4WD isn’t always the most popular class but three drivers were up for it tonight with Kev’s Citroen Xsara making an appearance and finishing comfortably clear ahead of Mike B & Geoff’s MSC Scooby’s.
- ProStock 80’s, Mike H’s Ford RS200 goes really nicely and was his best car tonight.

Class wins: Kev, Mike H & Mike B

   

Open - all five classes were represented tonight, 2WD the only class contested
- 2WD, Andy’s Ferrari F40 finishing well clear of Brian’s Peugeot with both cars being their drivers best cars overall tonight.
- Open Small Classic saw the return of Kev’s Alpine A110S after a rebuild and was his second best car overall tonight.  Andy’s Mustang went well again in Open Classic and was his second best car overall.
- Andy’s 80’s Porsche 959 and 4WD Mitsubishi again flying round both Rally stages.

Class wins: Kev & Andy
