Pitlane Review Rounds 1-10
So it was great attending a Club Round at the NSSRC this week, really enjoyed it and I hope they will participate in the next proxy. Many thanks to the club members who assisted Chris and myself in making it happen 

Tourist (Event1)
1st Place - Savage GT - Mustang (195pts)
2nd Place - Brumos RSR - Porsche 911 (143pts)
3rd Place - RoadRunners - Galaxie (116pts) 
An easy win for Savage GT with the Mustang, personally I felt the Porsche 911 was a better car in general and to me was the "spirit of the Proxy" car as it looked great and drove very well against the wider and more brutish opposition. But just could not quite compete with the pace of the Mustang.

Grand (Event 2)
1st Place - Bangers Racing - BMW 3.0CSL (172pts)
2nd Place - Makem Movers - Camaro ( 108pts)
3rd Place - Brumos RSR - BMW 2.8 (105pts)
I think this could have been an entirely different story if the Deadheads Rover SD1 had not hit mechanical issues earlier on, somewhere along it sustained chassis support damage, but because it was a kind of sealed unit, with a brass chassis no one wanted to risk opening it up to try to fix it. Perhaps a lesson to be learned there. But Bangers Racing for sure would have still been in contention for 1st Place and it is a deserved win on owners part. Brumos BMW just missed out on 2nd Place, I think earlier set up issues slowed its progress, and seemed to improve throughput the series.
Makem's Camaro kept a constant pace which was sufficient for 2nd place in the end.

Super (Event 3)
1st Place - Savage GT - Calibra (146pts)
2nd Place - WVSAM - Nissan Skyline ( 99pts)
3rd Place - ManxBrian - Nissan Skyline (96pts)
Savage GT struggled mid way to keep the lead, looked very much like WVSAM Skyline was going to take the top spot, but its perofrmance dramatically fell off in the final rounds which was a bit of bad luck. Manx Brian's Skyline also had its ups and downs, luckily in this case its improved performance came at the right time to take 3rd. So well done there.

Modern (Event 4)
1st Place - Deadheads - Audi A5 ( 186pts)
2nd Place - Bangers Racing - Alfa 156 ( 107pts)
3rd Place - Mountain View - Astra ( 103pts)
Never a doubt that this car would win this Event , always very consistent running car. Bangers Racing Alfa putting up a brave challenge but did not quite have the same stability, and the Astra of Mountain View was absolutely great for most of the rounds, struggling occasionally with one or two , could have challenged for 2nd place with a little more luck, but brilliant for a Class A constructed car.

Class A Constructed Cars
1st Place - Mountain View - Astra (175pts)
2nd Place - Harrisons Racers - BMW 321i (101pts)
3rd Place - Team Tatters - Honda Civic (89pts)
Outstanding Class A car, never really challenged.

Class B Constructed Cars 
1st Place - Deadheads - Audi A5 (152pts)
2nd Place - Bangers Racing - BW 3.0CSL (115pt)
3rd Place - Mountain View - BMW M3 (94pts)
Again no doubt that Deadheads Audi was the best of Class B cars all the way through.

Class C Constructed Cars
1st Place - Savage GT - Calibra (152pts)
2nd Place - WVSAM - Skyline (104pts)
3rd Place - ManxBrian - Skyline (94pts)
Just feel that WV Sam Skyline might have missed out on this Class win due to earlier under performance and later running issues, it was possibly the better constructed car, but we will never know.

Best Team
1st Place - Savage GT (577pts)
2nd Place - Deadheads (470pts)
3rd Place - Mountain View (454pts)
Well it was not necessarily a done deal for Savage GT, earlier on Deadheads were in the lead, and if only the Rover had not succumbed.........?
And Mountain View demonstrating that a well made Class A Car can be very valuable in this competition, hint, hint

Fastest Lap for Round 10
   

Fastest lap over series.
Here I listed the top 10 on each Round and allocated 1st (fastest car) 10, 2nd fastest 9, etc then added up the scores for a TOTAL
   
Perhaps a Summary of how well or not your cars "speed" performance was doing throughout on each round.
