After three extremely enjoyable events (reports here, here and here), we are moving swiftly on to the penultimate round of our HO proxy drag racing Summer Series on Tuesday & Wednesday 1st & 2nd September. This event will be our 1/64 scale homage to the real Brighton Speed Trials, which won't be happening this year.
Qualifying is Tuesday and then the Eliminators are Wednesday evening with coverage here on SlotRacer Online. The races are sponsored by Jadlam Toys & Models and Super Tires.
There are more details about the monthly proxy drag racing series here: https://slotracer.online/community/showt...p?tid=1256
We will be running the same three classes again in September:
- Micro Scalextric Street Stock - regs here.
- Micro Scalextric Super Stock - regs here.
- T-Jet Nostalgia Super Stock - regs here.
The Track: The Rock County Eighth Mile is a seven-foot timed strip (1/8 mile in true HO scale) made from the new 2019 Micro Scalextric sectional track. Cars must be fitted with braids to run on this track. Power for the first event is 12 volts, 4 amps per lane. Power to both lanes is triggered by a single switch firing a 2-channel relay board. Timing is Trackmate Drag Basic. There is a two-foot shutdown with dynamic braking and a well-padded catch box.
Sending cars: Aim for your cars to arrive in Brighton by the previous Saturday (29 August) so they can be quarantined and then registered for qualifying on Tuesday. Please also pack in a small box (max height 7.5cm) and pay for your postage online so no-one needs to go near a post office. These races are designed to be full-on social distancing events that are accessible even to those shielding at home.
How to enter: Add a reply with your interest and the classes you'll be entering - one car per class per person. Family members and friends are very welcome to enter too. I will message you with the address to send cars to. You will need to pay for return postage. Otherwise there is no race fee.
