Last Saturday(3rd August), we saw
ROUND 14 of Hinckleys 2013 OffRoad Club Championships!
With a fairly Promising Weather Forecast for the day, this gave HRCCC another great Turnout of Racers, including a couple of Familier faces from the OffRoad National scene, in the form of F1 Top Drivers John Spencer & Tristram Neal! Good to see them joining us! 8)
From Arrival, many of the keen Racers clubbed together with Main Track Builder Steve Haskins, to Assemble another awesome Track..........probably one of the Biggest Layouts for 2013!
It incorporated the usual decent sized Back Straight for some Overtaking, with a good selection of Sweeping corners, Hairpins & Chicanes, as well as a Mix of a Large Jump, Straight Table Top Ramp, Kicker Jump & Corner Table Top Ramp!

With Local Club Racer Tom Lord Assisting our usual Hinckley Race Director Mark Stevens for this week, from Booking In to running each Heat, everything went super smooth during the Meeting!
It was the usual Format.i.e 4 Qualifying Rounds with 2 to Count, rather than FTD, which everyone was extremely happy about, as the Heavens Opened for around 15 minutes just after Heat 1 of Round 3, making the Driving Conditions very difficult..............even all the guys in the 4WD Heat were struggling abit! Was great to see a Full Heat of 4WD's this week though!
By the Finals, the Track was only slightly Damp, making the Racing very Close & Competitive, with everyone really enjoying the Day!
