Race results - 9th May 2024 - Sports followed by TV/Film Cars #2
.
The weather has definitely suddenly cheered up and the evenings are getting light as we leave after racing.
.
Sports...

   
.
Only one Mosler (well someone has to don't they) and no two cars the same which makes a nice change, in fact there were no two similar cars all evening.
.
The six cars were put together into two distinct groups which created some great close racing.
.
Ed, Mike B & Chris raced together whilst Brian, Andy & Kev raced together.
.
The closest race was Heat #2 which Brian led for so long before being hauled back by first Andy then Kev, all three finishing the race less than 2.5 seconds apart.
.
Chris racing his favoured Dome Judd which looks so good on track these days.
Andy racing a proxy car for the Goodwood Revival Proxy in August.
Kev racing a scrapheap recovered Thunderslot McLaren M6A.
Mike racing a resin UOP DN4.
Ed racing his favourite Group C Jag XJR9.
...and Brian racing an old Mosler that's been sat for a year or more with a SlotIt controller whilst his Truspeed is being serviced (the SlotIt controller is growing on him).
.
Heat wins in heat order for Chris, Andy, Mike B & Kev

   
.
TV/Film Cars...

   
.
A couple of new entrants to this, Brians recently acquired Pioneer Dukes of Hazzard Dodge Charger and Mike B's 'Avengers' Steeds Jag XJ12C (with a slow motor honest).
.
The car bonus sheet was filled in, some cars lost out here as this is to discourage 'racing specials' being developed for what's supposed to be a 'Back to Basics' event.
.
There were also race bonus laps depending on each cars fastest heat laps.  This is to close the gap between the faster cars and the slower ones.
.
Last time out Chris's James Bond Lotus was sliding all over the place but definitely went better tonight after much oiling of tyres over recent weeks.
.
Mike's Jag has a 'slow' motor which he struggled to drive slowly, getting carried away in his last race showing the cars true pace and therefore too fast to pick up bonus laps for that race.
.
Andy's 'Back to the Future' Delorean is quick, keeping below that magic 88mph as his car is now losing head and tail lights.
.
Kev's 'The Batman' not as quick as the Delorean but only one deslot made up for it at the end.
.
Brian's new Dodge Charger definitely put a smile on his face, a happy man after his first race.
.
Whilst Ed awaits Scalextric releasing his eagerly awaited Batmobile he raced the old one and sooooo nearly won Heat #3
.
Heat wins in heat order for Brian, Kev & Mike B
