Greetings
First up.....sorry for the delay in getting the results up for everyone to annalise.
Day 4 of the Dakar Rally-Raid actually took place last Thursday, but then I was away for a few days, hence the delay.
Some of you will have met me at the various slot car events down south, or possibly at Gaydon. I run my own club, Send Scalextric Race Club, but you won't find any information on the club, as it happens at our house, in my big hobby room. Hence it's by invitation only. I have entered, and run stages, at each of Graham's previous Dakar Rally-Raid proxy events.
I was very lucky the Scott (Talking Utter slot Podcast/ WHO Digital) offered to come and join in. He doesn't live that far from me, and it made a really enjoyable morning of 'playing slot cars!' Thanks Scott
In the interests of fairness we both took turns at driving each of the 4 categories. Scott didn't have any entries in the Proxy, I had a single Ninco entry. Vehicles ran in the order of their position in each of the box's, this was then reversed for the second stage. They each got 5 warm up laps, (to warm us up as well!) plus the first to go on each stage was also given a second run, to make sure that going first wasn't an unfair handicap.
STAGE 1 - NINCO OFF ROAD SET LAYOUT
A nice tight and twisty layout, with elevation changes, and a few Ninco clip in obstacles to spice things up!
This layout proved great fun! The Ninco and SCX models went best, the Procars were very varied, and all the bridge areas have to be raised to allow the Trucks to even get round the course!
