Race report and results - 23rd Oct 2025 - 50’s & 60’s Monsters & Minis

   
.
Four ‘Monsters’ and four ‘Minis’ made for some interesting racing.
Two rounds of racing with five minute heats
Two Monsters vs two Minis in both rounds
Mix-and-match cars on track
One Modified Class and three Open Class Minis
…and four Monsters in four different classes meant everyone won a class
.
Brian turned up with a Dodge Charger but didn’t do much charging after a bit of practice as the pinion moved along the motor shaft and out of mesh… (again!)
…the advice before tonight was tin the motor shaft before fitting the pinion
The SCX NASCAR he raced instead had a couple of good early race dices but faded away towards the end of the heats.
No problems with the Mini, it was just a bit outclassed by bigger faster cars in its heats.
.
Ed’s Camaro prepared over many weeks for a previous proxy goes really well, giving a good account of itself with a heat win.
His Mini had a couple of good races, one against Brian’s ‘Monster’ and the other with Jamie’s Metro.
.
Jamie is new to these cars, it’s only his second week but he really enjoyed driving the big Galaxie 500 and had to do some work on the Metro as it was far too lightweight.
Heat wins with both cars was a good night for him.
.
Kev raced two of his favourites, both well developed cars that were too quick to keep up with.  Racing alongside other Monsters & Minis was very enjoyable.
