Stage One: Friston Forest
Stage winner: Mike Dadson, SRC Porsche 914/6 GT
As well as four challenging stages, there was also the hottest day of the latest summer heatwave to content with. Set-up had started early so we could build steadily, but with very little breeze through the Barn it would be a warm evening.
First through Friston Forest were Group 1. Jeremy has added hundreds of trees to the stages, all attached on bases that fit perfectly into the track layout. It looks sensational! Jeremy could always see the trees in his mind - he regularly walks through Friston Forest - but he is now delighted the rest of us can see them too!
Phil's new SCX Suzuki Swift was rapid through this stage, beating everyone apart from Scott. Steve's Scalextric Impreza was six seconds off Scott's similar car and most of this group were in the 60-75 second range for the stage, making it a long start to the evening, compounded by some timing issues for the big Raid vehicles. At the end, Scott led the rally - his Ninco Subaru setting a time of 49.82 seconds over the three laps.
Group 4 were next through the forest. Andy clocked a 42.30 run with his Ninco Subaru to briefly top the leaderboard. Jeremy came close with his TR7, but it was Mike D who banged in a 39.58 to take the rally lead. In the Solent SCC battle, Lee's Focus beat Cedric's Alpine by just over a second.
Ollie was the star of Group 3's visit to Friston. His Ninco Subaru followed by all three of Matthew's cars and the Isaac's Lancer and Rob's Citroen C4 - lots of quick Nincos in this group. There were also two Scalextric Mini Coopers - Rob's vintage model beating Ollie's modern version by five seconds.
The final group in the forest were Group 2. There were some quick runs, but Oliver's best fell just short of Mike's winning time by 2.39 seconds - two SRC Porsche 914s at the top. Other notable performances from this group were Neil's Fly Lancia 037 and Pete's Ninco Porsche 911SC - both finishing in the top ten.

An excellent start for Mike and Oliver. Top SCX runner was Phil's Suzuki, Scott's Impreza was quickest Scalextric car and Stephen was an excellent 36th (of 64) with the Scalextric Mitsubishi Lancer club car.
Next up was the Ninco off-road Jupp's Farm...
