I had another very enjoyable day out at  Gaydon on the Saturday.

Arrived at 08.55, so got an hour looking  around the excellent Museum before the event opened. 
Big queue of punters, keen and ready to go.  Took a whole 4 minutes to be at the top of the escalator, and into UK 

The superb Dragstrip, run by Mr D,  AKA Steve, was brilliant fun.   This is so different,  and fast!  40 mph in about 2 seconds,  and that's actual speed, love it.
Myself and fellow club member Ciarán actually made it all the way to the Final, big up The Send Scalextric Race Club! 
I took run 1.  Ciarán run 2, and I had the decider in the bag until a darn deslot 6 lengths from the finish...... Still a nice Special edition car each, and a whole lot of fun

Congrats on the great result on the dragstrip. I was most impressed by Mr D's magnificent beard. A very distinguished looking gentleman indeed! Sadly me, my dad and brother were all eliminated in Round 1 by the pesky black Porsche which was a touch OP.

Had better luck on the 5 stages though finishing 3rd and 4th. Mick received a very nice prize car from Julie Scale so he was chuffed. 

Hope they get back to 8 or more tracks for the comp next year.
