Race Wrap
17 May 2023 
Shenanigans Raceway

In order of racing, the group classes run this week were: 
- Ninco 1, 
- Ninco Porsche Cup, 
- Trans-Am, 
- GT International, 
- Slot.it LMP Modern, 
- Revoslot, 
- Slot.it Can-Am, 
- RWYB (Run What Ya Brung (that you haven't run today)), 
- Host Fuel 1:24 BRM Mini Cooper's, cars provided by Shenanigans Raceway, 
 
Kicking off the day we had the Ninco 1's. These cars can be very unforgiving, one deslot and your race is on the line so you best not deslot. Ray and Paul had a very close race, pushing each other harder and harder. 

The second race was the Ninco Porsche Cup, this race was split into two races with Johnno and Paul racing each other and Ian and Ray, this was the real race here as the end was very close again. Great racing Ian and Ray. Looking at the Heat Results we can see how close the racing was with equal 2nd and 3rd placings decided by best lap times.

Next class up was the Trans-Am, we see Stephen take a podium win here. Looking through the Heat Reults image this again was another close race with one lap seperating 1st, 2nd and 3rd. 

We move onto GT International class, this class starts the shenanigans and chaos for the day and starts seperating racers out of their groupings into individual racers. We run the GT class with the Ninco 5 motor (NC5) Johnno's NSR is fast (the car likes to be driven hard and responds well to the controller). Ok this week really shows how close the racing is within the group og six, with one lap between every placing and every racer in the 8 second bracket... uncanny

The GT class again can be seen to be split in three groups this time with Johnno and Ray both racing their own race while we see Ian and Paul having a very close race, with rounding Ian and Paul tied 2nd... this was great to see Ian pushing hard and up against a real top notch racer Paul he has done very well and needs to take the whole race as a whole as exceptional, well done Ian.

We took a break for lunch, tea, coffee and chit chat then back into racing. 

Next up we hit the black top with the Slot.it Modern LMP's. Johnno's LMP tossed a braid so he had to grab his backup car, which is just as fast, if not faster. This class being another close race, though the gaps are starting to increase. These Slot.it LMP 'shovel nose' cars come with their own headaches related to the guide system, once you can tame this the cars can be great. 

Revoslot class, we can see everyone out on their racing their own race, these cars require to be raced hard and fast so in turn the deslots are harder but these cars just keep taking the beatings, great product Revo.

The Revo's pile-on to the shenanigans and chaos, especially with Ray and his Viper, the pair are entertaining to say the least LOL. 

Paul wanted to change up things some and asked for the Host Fuel race to be brought forward, we ran the 1:24 BRM Mini Coopers provided Shenanigans Raceway. 

With the Fuel races Johnno hides the Heat Screen so the racers can not see what is happening, no one knows what's what until the screens are displayed on race end. 

A fast car such as the NSR Mosler isn't necessarily makes you the winner, it will burn through the fuel requiring more fuel stops so costing more time while the slower cars can nearly double the Mosler laps and halve the fuel stops and gain the laps lost because of being a slow car. 

Many different fueling and racing strategies could be seen being played out and in the end the results show only one lap in it for 2nd, 3rd and 4th. 

Up next are the Slot.it Can-Am's. Pocket Rockets are released and the chaos intensified. This was another race that was seperated with Johnno and Ian racing each other while ending with the same laps total so this race was decided upon the best lap time, the other racers all racing their own races. 

We move onto the Run What Ya Brung, (that you haven't run today), we see the gaps increasing even more with the faster cars, legit cars? I'd say no...
