 Good Evening


North Staffs Slot Car Club (Round 10)

Well what a day, on arrival I was delighted to see some familiar faces.....and they even remembered me from the few occasions I frequented the club for a while before Covid. The club track is one of the best in the country and frequently used for National GT3 type competitions. The drivers which Chris had seconded where also some of the best in the country, so I knew we were in for a good Round. Classichrisk did the race control, and I did the videos presentation and some marshalling.
For this Round we used the "Yellow flag" technique, stopping the track for any car de-slots and avoiding excessive lost time for the cars concerned. As this track normally has 6 marshal's and we had 3 available it was a great way to run.

So to the Results.
Tourist Event 1
1st Place - Savage GT Mustang
2nd Place - Brumos RSR - Porsche 911
3rd Place - RoadRunners - Galaxie
  

Drivers Comments
Savage GT Mustang- run well, not as smoothly as the Brumos RSR Porsche which both drivers really loved, however the Mustang proved again that it just had the pace over the Porsche.
Roadrunners  Galaxie -was said to run very well and smooth.
Lifeboats Galaxie -was very stiff with no body rock, front axle/wheels felt uneven.
Groundhogs Ford Cortina -felt little unpredictable.
