[Graham]

Many thanks to the Woodland Fort Club for running the Proxy over two nights, probably more than they bargained for but nevertheless it is a most welcome set of results ......at least for most. The track surface is different from the other Wood based tracks we run on and does favour the cars with perhaps a little less grippy tyres. So hence some entrants may wonder why their cars lacked some stability whilst others will be delighted that their cars have at last found their best suited track.

But either way it does give us a different track surface challenge for our proxy cars, and I feel that the Woodland Fort Clubs participation in our proxy's series is a valuable addition to our programme...so well done to the club members for giving up their time (twice) to support our proxy, it is very much appreciated by us

Pitlane Review Rounds 1-8
So what an interesting set of results, a chance for cars further down the field to shine, great to see some new Podium cars. Makem Movers in 1st place  , the Manx Bros on the Podium and even Scott Sports making a rare visit to the Podium. Perhaps we should do more Rounds at Woodland Fort

1st Place - Bangers Racing - BMW 3.0CSL (141pts)
2nd Place - Makem Movers - Camaro ( 85pts)
3rd Place - Deadheads- Rover SD1 ( 76pts)
Bangers Racing's BMW had to give way on this Round to the Camaro of Makem movers on a charge and loving the grippy track surface. Deadheads Rover got bogged down a little...actually quite a bit.

1st Place - Savage GT - Calibra (118pts)
2nd Place - WVSAM- Nissan Skyline (97pts)
3rd Place - Mountain View - BMW M3 (70pts)
Sam's Skyline seemed to struggle on that round, giving a bit of a reprieve to Savage GT's Calibra.

2nd Place - Bangers Racing - Alfa 156 (86pts)

Class A constructed Cars
1st place - Mountain View - Astra (140pts)
2nd Place - ManxEd - Calibra (113pts)

Mountain Views Astra still has  healthy lead in spite of a poor run on this track. Harrisons Racers BMW 321i making it by just one point into 3rd place. Team Tatters Honda Civic sounds like its got some serious issues with the chassis.

3rd Place - Savage GT - Mustang (80pts)
