[Top Down]

Rnd 3 - Saturday 22nd February. 

Classes:

1) Club cars           - 1970/80s Porsche's

   

A smart looking 'Old School' Porsche grid.

   

Newcomer Jaeson looks determined to take the challenge to 'old hand' David.

   

And out of the melee .....

   

.... Mark wins the first class of the night.

2) Owner/drivers  - Porsches (any era, any format) - up to 20000rpm motors. 

   

Lane 5 and the silver Porsche anticipates the start.

   

Confusion reigns! The red Porsche, having crossed from the gutter lane on the far right, leaves the yellow car nowhere to go!

   

It's a bit of a blur but there is one car per lane in this heat!

   

A close finish as the power goes off.

   

Vic wins by a healthy margin, despite running a 'Del Boy' three wheeled Porsche at one stage during the heats!

3) Club cars           - Nissans 

   

Awesome looking Nissan grid.

   

A really busy heat with 12 cars on the track! (Actually two photos merged to show the impact of that tight hairpin on the race order!)

   

And another montage:
The tail-ender in lane three spins out as the field thunders towards it. Blissfully unaware, the driver in Lane 2 chases down his quarry in Lane 6, only to come to a crashing halt.

   

NOW, he's noticed!

   

Mark takes win number two - but only just! - by 1/10th of a lap from Shaun.

NEXT MEETING: Sunday 15th March. 

Gt. Whelnetham Community Centre, Stanningfield Rd, Bury Saint Edmunds. IP30 0TX

Doors open for set-up at 4:15pm, racing from 5:15pm onwards.

Classes:

1) Club cars           - Scalextric Karts
2) Owner/drivers - GT / Le Mans/ endurance cars.  No restrictions on motor size etc 
3) Club cars           - Something else   

(No doubt there will be some club cars to borrow for these classes, if you don't have your own.

Thanks to Mark J for the photos, especially for the those that make up the compound Hairpin Turn and crash sequence.
