Thank you Nico and thank you Andy.
And apologies to Laura...it's not very often I get though the first round. But that was a very un-British victory shout. 'Smokey Joe' was on a final warning, looks like the message has finally got through.
Jane is once again humbled and stunned to be able to compete in such company..."How fortunate am I".
I love puttering with gears

Congrats to all the winners!
My cars just start picking up speed, and then they all seem to hit a wall!
It's all great fun to watch.

Welcome to a third day of racing...
The first news is that the postman was spotted earlier walking past the house - nothing from Bill. However, there is sometimes a separate parcel delivery - so there's still some hope. Either way, the pancake classes will run today.
A little bit of lunchtime entertainment for the crowd...
That's an exhibition run of two 1997-8 Model Motoring T-Jets: the legendary Gee-TO-Tiger Pontiac GTO and a Sox & Martin ‘67 Plymouth GTX. Both chassis need a lot of work to get them going okay - or a switch of chassis. The GTX won't fit the Tuff Ones wheels, but the Pontiac will.

Happy for my cars to stay a few extra days to give Bill a comparison run if the mail fails.

I'm with Alan. I'm not in a hurry for my cars. They can stay and play a little longer too. A few days won't make any difference.
Cheers,
Ken

A few more days are fine with me as well!
But as postal delivery takes 10-12 days one way, they are on the road nearly a month out of two months till the next race. Not much time left for a busy guy to do more testing and tweaking......
But hey, I think those cars are just around the corner!

Personally I don’t have a problem with waiting ether but the decision is down to the Racemaster. I know that he is a busy person and may not be able to spread the race out any longer. Plus the fact that Rose may be getting impatient

I too have no problem waiting, but as Mazda said, the decision about when to race must be Andy's.
We race at the pleasure of the Racemaster!
