We squeezed a bonus Saturday into the schedule this month. The morning was some summer fun - a rather eclectic Club Car Rotation - followed by an afternoon of testing for the autumn Saturdays. That starts with the Goodwood Revival Saturday on 23 September, the Birkett Relay day on 14 October and a pair of Tin Top Saturdays on 18 November and 16 December.

Simon's new track design - which he named O'Connor - was a whopper...

   

It looked great set up in the Barn and proved a wonderful driving circuit and excellent for overtaking...

   

We welcomed Stuart and Bobby for their first visit to the Barn. Stuart drove a couple of rotation races before they had to head off - Bobby is still quite young for SCalextric digital at just two years old!

   

The rotation format has been tweaked for the 2-minute races, making it a hectic hour an a half of racing. At the end of the session, it was exceedingly close...

   

But Rob managed a terrific six scores to finish a lap clear of the pack. Bravo to Rob - and to Ollie for the junior honours...

   

Rob, Ollie, Kev and Isaac left at lunchtime, but we were joined by Jeremy - giving us ten for the test sessions. That was after a quick dash to the chippy and a typical 2023 summer downpour!
