[Brumos RSR]

Last Pitstop

I decided that since I have the cars at HQ for the weekend I would check them out on my home track to ensure they were running OK.
Luckily I did discover these issues before we run at NSSRC

Bangers Racing Alfa 156 - Rear tyre coming off rear wheel rim. Needs to glued back on. Left for Chris to fix on Tuesday.


Ruscillo Racing - BMW M3 - uneven running, both rear tyres had partially come away from wheel. Glued tyres back in place.

Team Tatters - Calibra - running uneven, rear tyres were very sticky and had build up of loose rubber on them. Cleaned off with lighter fuel.

ALS Audi A4 - body front detached from chassis. 3d body post broken. I have glued the 3d post together , leave over night.

Red Dragons - Renault Laguna - chassis is exceptionally loose on body, will check with entrant.


Deadheads - Rover SD1 -car running slow. Chassis misaligned on body and front wheel touching wheel arch. Looks like an issue with the chassis fitting location points have been damaged. But not willing to detach chassis.

Bangers Racing - BMW 3.0 CSL - sound like scraping sound on cornering. Reason unknown

Red Devils - Alfa GTA - slow running but smooth, meshing of crown gear to pinion feels tight. No action.

Lifeboats Racing - Alfa GTA. running uneven, rear tyre has grove in it due to rubbing against inside lightweight interior. Interior has become misaligned. I have placed tape on the back of the interior to hold it away from the rear tyre.

RoadRunners - Galaxie  body posts on chassis broken due to impact, have been glued back and car is running well.

Graham, couple of questions, are the hosts instructed to clean tires in between heats or when the cars change lanes to run with the new driver?  Are the cars to be inspected by the hosts prior to running or after ?  As we know loose tires can drastically alter the outcome or a broken body post ( except in the case of ALS’ Audi) I’m in awe of a 4.6x lap AND 2nd place.  I’m solely looking at the list of cars with issues other than electrical, and the rubber build on the other.
