Hi guys
sorry for the delay in running the rally stage , i have had a leak in my new build garage / slot car room , which knocked out the electrics and my helper Ric fell ill which resulted in a hospital trip , but all is fine now , except the electrics which wont be fixed until mid week
anyhoo these are the results from the rally stage
a real shake up from the tarmac stage , the shallow slot on Scalextric classic track plus the hump back bridge resulted in 5x DNF's across the 4 events
i didn't want to damage any of these cars by trying to complete their round , i guess that's rally racing
this is the (adhock) track i used , with the SCX CHRONO rally start ramp and return loops , a couple of cross over sections , chicane , s-bend section and of course the hump back bridge , ran over 10 laps / car
timing was via LAPTRAX mobile phone timing , hence no footage sadly , and is recorded as 'min : sec : thou'
event 1 continued with the jaguar shut out , although shuffled a bit , 3x cars dragged the bottom of the slot but posted times , the #7 Alfa could not complete a lap so retired
event 2 was a shake up Andy's #4 Porsche taking top slot , with the #1 Lancia and #43 Pantera hot on his heels , 3x DNF's ( all joint 11th ) due to their deeper guides with the #3 BMW only just completing the stage
event 3 .... TR7's on the podium ! who woulda thunk it , just behind Graham's #52 Fiat , deeper guides really hurt the 914's with #78 having to be pulled after multiple off's on its 1st lap
event 4 , the closest contested section , is #5 lucky ?, Andy's #5 Subaru gave him his 2nd win , with James #5 Subaru and #5 Citroen keeping him honest
great fun even on my own , the shallow slot took a couple of casualties but all cars are all still in good condition and are packed ready for their next outing
just to reiterate , and as a reminder for Graham
, the timing is in ... 'minutes ; seconds ; tenth/thou' ...., I don't want to mess up the over all times
BTW ... even if you not a monarchist .... have a great coronation day everyone
