Stage 3, Group B results

So, two cars scored 69.7secs, two cars scored 59.2secs, two cars scored 54.6secs and two cars scored 54.1secs. 
If you put that in a movie no-one would believe it.

Stage 3, Group C 50s results

A small but perfectly formed group containing the lovely Ninco Barchetta and Jaguar 120. Honours, though, went to the equally beautiful Mercedes 300 and by the finest of fine margins. It couldn't have been closer (well unless it was another of those dead heats from Class B).

Stage 3, Group C 60s results

A host of GT40s dominated the running order in the 60s era of Class C. However not all GT40s are created equal: a couple of these are Slot.it and NSR cars, and nicely set-up ones at that. Pitching these against Scalextric GT40s is like bringing a gun to a knife fight, as the results show...

NB The number 8 Ford Galaxy is noted on the timesheet as having rubbing tyres. Further peering under the wheel arches afterwards showed that the likeliest cause of the problem is that the car is supposed to have suspension but doesn't have any springs or cap nuts. A frantic email to the Demon slot shop, which just happens to be hosting the next round, might secure a set of replacements.

Stage 3, Group C 70s results

A lot of fun, nimble cars to finish off with. Once again, the SRC Porsche 914/6s showed how good they are in a proxy event. This pair had different SRC motors, the white M6 engined car just pipped the Gulf liveried M7 runner.

Stage 3 Winner

Making it three out of three for Phil Field's NSR Mercedes. It's a joy to drive.

Not at all as I expected. 
I thought the Megane and ( to a lesser extent) the Capri would be the ones grabbing points.
With 2 podiums (I think) it's the scaley lambo holding the KesselRun team up.
Not bad for an unplanned late addition to the team with a stand in driver  Bigsmile

Wavegreen Good Morning Folks, and first of all many thanks to Michael, I see he persevered well into evening, and I kind of felt that having gritted his teeth abit over the Scalextric Class he warmed more so to the unlimited and Classic classes. However I make no apologies for the Scalextric Class, it is a great leveller of fortunes and lets face it most of us would have never been slotter's if not for that brand. And it still offers the biggest range of slot cars on the UK market, so perfectly in tune with our "Road Race theme"

So to the results for yesterday Stage 3

   

   

I attached all the results as a PDF file, the overall results will follow after my morning coffee

Don't let the timings of the posts put anyone off, running was finished by 5.3 even if I delayed the posting of results 'till after dinner.
68 cars is a big field though, over 1000 laps of driving, so I was pleased that everything ran perfectly - any tech issues would have been a major downer.

As for my perceived anti-Scalextric bias, it comes from frustration. I too got into slot car racing via the brand, I loved Scalextric from the first squeeze of the trigger, but nowadays I despair for it. IMO it's more likely to put off new-comers than hook them. But that rabbit hole leads to a hi-jacked thread, so let's draw a veil over it.

Anyway, the cars are back in the big white box. I'll run them into Hereford this afternoon ready for their encounter with the ice track chez Phil.
