Saloons + Small Saloons + Group 5 Saloons

   

There were five of us tonight… err, stop the race!... make that six as Andy noticed his name was missing from the heat list part way through Heat #1
.

• For the second time in three weeks, Andy decided to do some giant killing, this time with his proxy Anglia in Small Saloon, it goes great!
  

Prostock Saloon was made up of Group 5, Saloon, BTCC and WRC cars
.

• Brian’s Racer Capri Group 5
  
• Kev’s proxy Camaro
  
• Chris’s pocket rocket Honda
  
• …and George’s Mitsubishi Lancer WRC
  

One Open Class Saloon
.

• Mike’s resin Jaguar XJ12C
  

.
We had some great racing with the race for top spot in Prostock Saloon being less than half a second between Brian’s Capri in first place, from Kev’s Camaro.
.
George also did exceptionally well with his Mitsubishi…one deslot all night!

   
.
Sports + Small Sports + Group 5 Sports

   

Four different classes were represented tonight
.

• Chris’s MRSlotcar Corvette in Small Sports (Open Class)
  
• Kev’s Ninco BMW V12 in Sports (Modified Class)
  
• Brian’s SlotIt Porsche 956 in Sports (Prostock Class)
  
• Andy’s Lexus and Mike’s UOP Shadow DN4 in Sports (Open Class)
  

.
Chris bought a new crown gear for his Corvette, only to discover the chassis needs a few thou’ filing off the chassis to let it sit low enough for the axle to pass through both bearings.  No doubt he’ll have it sorted for next time so raced it as it was tonight, a very quiet smooth runner.
.
Heat #4 was the closest race of the whole evening as Andy’s Lexus crossed the line less than four lengths ahead of Kev’s BMW V12.
Three 24 lappers for the Lexus with a best run in Blue lane, a couple of 23 lappers and a 24 lapper for the BMW in Blue lane.
.
It was good to see Mike’s UOP Shadow DN4 again, it’s a nice quick car and looks great at speed.  Three 21 lappers with a best run in Blue lane.
.
Brian’s Porsche was miles off the pace in his first race, Heat #1in Red lane, managing 3 laps less than in the other two lanes but recovered late with a best run and his fastest lap in Blue lane in Heat #4.

   
.
SRF F1 SIDECARS

   
.

• Three SRF F1 Sidecars
  

.
As there were only three of us left by this time, we raced together and stopped during track calls.
Races were increased to 4 minutes as there was time left in the evening.
Brian wasn’t enjoying driving his Sidecar in Heat #1, then discovered the piece of wood he’d taped over the linear/curve button to keep it in ‘linear mode’ had fallen off and his controller (SlotIt SCP) was operating in ‘curve mode’... once he’d realised this his Sidecar was nice to drive again.

   
.
Kev brought his Kart with him and likes how it goes.  After the Sidecar racing Mike drove it for quite a few laps and he likes how it goes also.
If there’s interest in these as a class I’ll price one up with part numbers.
.
Three videos this week…enjoy!
