Race Report
Racing Results Wed 11th August, 2021 sees the group return to at Bluehaven Raceway, Old Bar. An interesting afternoon of close racing across the classes and heats by all racer's today.
The banter, distractions, laughter, self-frustrations, chaos all present, bar Jeffery who again was unable to attend today's meet and all the fun and action. Today would have to be the loudest our group got with chatting and general chit chat, even during the racing.
Jeffery has made his return and has been given the job of 'Sticker Marshal' as we all know stickers can only be reused so many times before they just won't stick, Jeffery was removing the suspect stickers, continuing on saying how the stickers must be thrown out after each race day, so Charlie gave him the job of Sticker Marshal :)
Through out the afternoon of racing there was many deslots, even by Paul and a few by Charlie, all six racers had their fare share of deslots, there were no real car failures, 'Lindsay's Manoeuvres' and Johnno's 'Coming Through' were performed by all of us at different times. The biggest deslot was with Jeffery and Charlie, a massive head on with the LMP cars, not one bit of damage was done to either car which is a great thing. I performed a decent 'coming through' with Joe's car, flipped it on top of mine and continued driving around to the driver stations. No Turtling' was present.
Today, again saw a significant amount of cars deslot and then reslot themselves again within the same lane as well as deslotting and reslotting in opposite lanes, usually head-ons follow, thankfully all were on their games and stopping or slowing enough to avoid making the section: Chaos Report Headlines (below).
Paul's Revo Tiger Porsche was a lot quieter today. Track lap records were set by Paul and Johnno, with Paul taking four new records in one class.
As for close racing, check out Event 7 Fuel race, we had had a 12 heat session where we all changed our cars after the first six heats and continued on under the Fuel racing. The Fuel podium is a doosy, we had to stack all four cars on top of each other as four of us ended the fuel racing tied equal first. Great and close racing, we saw several different strategies in play Fuel wise, with majority of racers choosing their slower cars while Lindsay and myself went with our faster cars and got into full race mode rather than fuel conservation mode, oh well.
Charlie's cars were great as always and his racing was the same. Can't speak for others but racing with Charlie actually improves my racing some, not much, but some LOL.
I made the comment that I think my marshalling is better than my racing. I just push too hard and throw it all away... I've got to stop this type of racing if I want to improve.
Chaos Report Headlines
We had a headlight lens lodged in the slot, great find Joe. No cars were damaged this week, no broken guides etc, though it seemed some of us were lacking grip still to some degree.
The Ninco 1 car played up then stopped... Paul loaned me one of his cars to finish the race with. Along comes race 2, the Ninco Porsche Cup, very similar occurrence as to the Ninco 1 Lamborghini, my Ninco Porsche started then stopped, you kidding me, oh well some triaging when I get home.
Johnno's Ninco Lamborghini stood up to the riggers of racing and had no motor issues present.
I am still learning RC's 'Windows features' so more data, clearer, gap times (there are two this week) etc will start appearing if I can remember to do them... some of these extra RC windows have been used and included showing the gaps etc.
Here are the Leader board's and Podium's for racing Wed 11th August, 2021 at Bluehaven Raceway, Old Bar.
Thank you Lindsay for hosting the racing today, tolerating us all and the T&C's.
Congratulations everyone on your wins and hopefully an enjoyable afternoon was had by all.
