Race Report - Qualifying Heats
Twenty-four racers gathered for the June F1 race. We welcomed John for his first taste of club racing at the Barn on a monster F1 layout...

Meanwhile, Keith was having a torrid time with his Super-G and switched back to his usual Mega-G+ for the second pair of heats. This is how things stood after Heat 12...

Jerome and Pete went all the way to the end with no more than a few feet separating them. They looked like they'd be up for a repeat in the A Final.
As we moved towards the close of the heats, the A Final line-up looked like Darren, Jerome and Pete. However, Deborah very nearly crashed the party with her Mega-G+ in the penultimate heat. She missed out by less than half a lap. And there were some incredibly close scores in the midfield, promising some exciting finals to come...
