Interesting the dates that were chosen - this poll would be more interesting if it went further back.
1976, with a 'Lectricar 12th scale at Alexandra Palace with the original Ally Pally Club. We raced on the great hall, and the heats were 10 laps long. As the time to complete 10 laps got down to around two minutes, we made the races four minutes, and then five.
The hall was used a couple of times by a beer festival, so the traction was great on a race night with the added complication that any drifting off line meant you picked up dirt which stuck to the tyres! Often, your race would end with tyres 3mm larger that you started, just like the F1 guys picking up debris at the end of a race.
And, as ASKay says, that makes me officially old!!
