Hi Graham, can you add the 'Car Construction Awards' (a,b,c) points too please, so we can keep track of 'best RTR' 'scratchbuild' and '3D' categories.
Thanks

Thanks 
I decided not to do this as an ongoing process, these awards will be allocated at the end of the series.

Good afternoon
here is the 1st set videos of Event 1 (Kinrara Trophy)
There is a high level of background noise as the club is sited within a leisure activity centre (roller blade upstairs) etc.
The cars were run as the top 4 seeded cars first heat then the last 3 seeded cars 2nd heat etc. All four lanes were covered by all the cars.
The first Event was actually run twice as the first set of run results was accidentally lost by a computer hitch.

That's an interesting track...
We have to deal with noise too as there's a gym upstairs, it sometimes sounds like they're dropping concrete balls on the floor...thankfully they're all knackered by 8 O'clock and we get an hour or so of peace
Some close racing there

Well that track certainly tested some of those cars more than others, many thanks to the host club and drivers and Graham for the videos.

The Round at the Wirral Slot car Club was run today, with the usual mixture of predictable….and unpredictable results
Many thanks to the guys at the club, they found it very enjoyable.
I am away this weekend in the far south west of the country racing vintage slot cars at the Trelawny club near Falmouth. So as I am travelling back on Monday the results of Round 3 of the proxy will not be posted until Tuesday.
