News Bury St Edmunds Slot Car Club

Saturday May 14th race night.

Good to see that the club rules and classes are maintaining a good balance across the field, with the three classes producing three different winners again.

First up were club Grp 5 support cars, with winner Mark J leading a very tight field.

          

The main race was for owner/driver Saloon & Touring cars. A varied field saw Vic take top step on the podium following more close racing.

          

          

          

      

The final support race was for Mk1 Escorts. Being a 1:1 Ford man it was fitting that Shaun led the pack, once again ahead of a tight field.

          

Highlights of the night?

Apart from the very tight racing and three different winners? 

1) Vic & Bill spending 10 mins trying to find out why lane 5 wasn't working only to find that the controller was plugged in to lane 6. 

2) Trying to figure out why Mark's car wouldn't work by using different controllers on different lanes, only to find there was no motor in the car when it was turned over to check the pickups. Bigsmile   

Next meeting June 25th

I always enjoy reading other club race reports, there's always something that happens on race nights other than racing.

Mark, Vic, Dave, Bill, Sean. 
Thanks for a great evening's racing.
Both Hayden and I really enjoyed the visit.
The route home was quicker than expected at 90 minutes.
Next visit I'll bring some test gear to figure out why my SCP2 simply didn't work at the track.
