Winter Series 2013 Round 1
Well last night was the first round of the Winter 2013 Series with good numbers in both classes and some very close racing through all of the rounds - 4 winners out of the 5 rounds of quali in the TC’s. Even the oldest car on the track finishing first in 2 of them J but not in the final unfortunately where it counts L
Last nights agreed experiment with tyre additive confirmed that it’s worth around a second a lap at the fast end of the grid but also reaffirmed why we don’t allow it by the state of the floor afterwards. So no tyre additive in the hall - sorry.
On the down side, Old Man Ray paid a visit to let us know he won’t be coming to play anymore L
However after a little persuasion and talking round with the promise of some new go faster parts from Trev he’s agreed to see how it goes for a few more weeks.
Ray - ask Martin the difference a brushless setup makes - Martin running a brushless for the first time last night with a marked improvement in his speed - and that was with old NiMh cells!!!
Hope to see you all again next week for Round 2 of the winter series - only 5 from 8 rounds count so if you missed last night, no need to worry, just make sure you’re there next week.
And I need a chat with the committee to see what we can do for prizes.
Also I was thinking to even things out - maybe do what they do in BTCC and have success ballast over the series - any comments???
