Seven ‘Back 2 Basics’ Class
Six Standard Class
Five ProStock Class
Six Open Class
Eight different manufacturers bodyshells
Nine different manufacturers of chassis including 3D and brass

Back2Basics was the most popular tonight which is always good to see, plus a good selection of upgraded B2B cars, we also had Proxy and first time raced cars entered…
.
Turnout was good tonight, too good really as we should have split into two groups of three as we didn’t finish until after 10pm.
.
We had a new visitor a few weeks ago, Kyle, tonight he returned and borrowed a couple of the Club Rally cars plus shared two of Ed’s cars and did really well.
As can be expected sharing cars added a little bit of extra competition, it’s fair to say the six cars between them went really well.
.
Gav said he’d never driven on Carpark Chaos before so that was a new experience for him too.
Gav’s Fly Fiat Punto had a DNF on the last stage and his Porsche 997 is a little over-powered, making it unpredictable…but the pair of Ferraris went well, in particular his Avant 308 GTB whilst his Ninco 360 went better with each run as the tyres got track time.
.
Brian’s now got a set of well prepared cars that perform well every time and he’s enjoying Slot Rally more than ever, there’s not much between his Scooby, Metro 6R4 and Renault Megane, a trio of great runners.
.
Kev’s been working on a second Ninco Jag XK120 for a Targa Florio Proxy in Autumn, a ‘Modified Standard’ class for cars without an adjustable motor mount and it went well.
He’s also been working on a Mini, the first brass chassis he’s made for a couple of years or so and it went really well first time out. The TR7 V8 resurrected for SRGB 2024 is now a regular in his pit garage.
.
Mike came armed with a pair of SCX Skoda Fabias…which was just as well as the first one was playing-up in corners and the hill on Little Druidale, most probably the ‘chicken legs’ behind the guide…the second one was a great runner but that first car spoiled what would have been a good overall time.
A Ninco Citroen C4 with clear chassis went well as did his Ninco Citroen C4 and NSR Porsche 997 GT3.
