And well done Andy for bringing a National event to Worthing and highlighting us on the slot map again!

Thanks Jeremy! Although my main role was just to say 'yes' to Phil B and then start recycling the stages from our 2021 proxy. This event was a great WHO team effort, including Jean & Mike with the new driver station / timers, you with Friston Forest (the longest and trickiest stage), Oli with most of Sea Lane, Pete for transportation, plus you, Pete, Ash, Jerome and Terry for putting in a long shift on Friday with set-up. And we couldn't have done it without everyone's participation at the first WHO Slot Rally club night in May.

Having not expected to last all day Saturday, I was extremely pleased with my four cars - although take away home advantage, a few regulars not making the trip and beginners' luck and I expect to get shuffled well down the order at Farnborough in October...

       

My two SCX cars did great - the Fiat 124 beating four SRC 914/6s to finish seventh in Classic, but was 3.38 seconds slower over the seven stages than the Suzuki Swift, which took top SCX honours and eleventh in the Modern class.

       

The two Ninco cars also did well. The Lancia 037 finished seventh in the 80s/90s class, but the Subaru was the pick of the quartet, finishing third in Modern - a mere 0.21 seconds off runner-up spot - and fifth overall.

Phil B caught the four cars on the Ford Ice Rink...

   

There's an SRC Peugeot in development that will probably take the place of the Lancia in October... We'll see.
