50’s & 60’s Monsters & Minis (part 1 & 2)

   

…this event started as Small Saloons and Big Saloons but will have to change for next year to just 50’s & 60’s cars to allow Saloons and Sports of all sizes.
.
Work/holiday/lurgy reduced tonight’s turnout but we saw nine different cars racing tonight (in heat order)...
.

• Brian raced a Scalextric Mini Clubman in Round 1 and a Pioneer Dodge Charger in Round 2
  
• Kev raced a Scalextric Chevrolet Camaro in Round 1 and a 3D Ford Anglia in Round 2
  
• George raced a Ninco Jaguar XK120 in both rounds as it’s the only 50’s/60’s car he currently owns.
  
• Ed raced a Pioneer Mustang in the first race but the chassis broke after the car fell on the floor so he raced the next two heats with a Scalextric Camaro in Round 1 then raced a Mini Clubman in  Round 2.
  

.
We raced 4 minute heats and tried to keep out of trouble as we only had two marshalls but that didn’t stop us having good racing.
.
The closest race was Round 1 Heat #5 as Ed’s Camaro was trying to fend off Brian’s Mini that deslotted, giving Ed some breathing room, then clawed it’s way back to a few car lengths… then another deslot late in the race let Ed’s Camaro cross the finish line in front.  A great race!
.
The closest race in Round 2 involved Brian again, this time with the bright orange Dodge Charger and George’s Jaguar XK120 in Heat #5, a race that George was leading for the first 14 laps and ending with both cars on the same lap but the Dodge Charger crossing the finish line in front.

SRF F1 SIDECARS

   
.

• Only three SRF F1 Sidecars tonight… and no marshalls
  

.
As you’d expect, we tried to race the Sidecars carefully… but failed as it’s all too easy to get drawn into racing… and why not!

Three videos this week…enjoy!
