Race results and report - 26th September 2024 - Group 5 followed by NSR Mosler ‘Club Challenge’ #8 
.
We were expecting a visitor tonight…and got two.
Andy brought a friend along, Mark stayed for the Group 5 races and helped marshal but declined to join in racing…
Not long after Geoff turned up…Brian H turned up also, borrowed a controller, drove a few cars and did well after such a long lay-off racing.  He said he’ll be back in two weeks for Slot Rally (Brian does like his Rally) 
.
Group 5

   
.
Last week we raced the Club BMW Group 5’s and a couple were getting round under 6.2 seconds, how would tonight's cars compare?...about the same to be honest which says the club cars are pretty good.
.
We had two brilliant races and finished off with a really good battle.  
Andy & Geoff in Heat #2, Kev & Andy in Heat #4 (which was yellow flagged near the end) and Kev & Geoff in the final Heat #7
.
Brian L suffered 'balling-up' in the later stages of the races, NSR Ultras but probably Evos...not good...was advised to get some Thunderslot TYC002R tyres as seen on Kev's car (and one or two others)
.
With three sub-classes we had Standard Class, Modified Class and Open Class winners
.
Thanks Mark for helping marshal and well done Brian H for doing so well after such a long lay-off

NSR Mosler ‘Club Challenge’ #8

   
.
Andy and Mark left for the evening (a pint down the pub beckoned) which still left four of us to have some good racing.
.
I predicted Brian L would be back at the sharp end of the overall results table after finding a problem with the guide on his car…and he duly obliged with an untroubled nights racing, the best score in Blue lane all night and finally breaking the sub-six second barrier for the first time this year…he’s back!
.
Geoff was super quick last time out with his Mosler Challenge car and was slightly down on pace tonight but not much!...still as difficult as ever to get away from but one or two deslots was costly at the end of the night.
.
Kev was quick as usual but Geoff and Brian made him race hard, it was still all to race for until the last two laps…a couple of deslots too made it closer.
.
Brian H raced the club Mosler that Brian L set up a while back, it goes OK but the tyres aren’t polished to a shiny grip like the Club Challenge Moslers tyres…he did very well tonight.

   
.
As far as the Championships is concerned, no change there as none of them turned up tonight but the Unofficial Non-Championship is stretching out a little at the top with Kev winning tonight, but 2nd place is only separated by most 1st places as Brian L has now equalled Andy’s score…but Brian still has a ‘worst score’ to drop as he’s the only one who’s raced every round and will have more to choose from.

Next week is '50's & 60's Monsters & Minis'...think Ford Galaxie vs Mini…or Chevrolet Camaro vs Austin A30…it should be fun
