A decent turn out last night and good to see marc Fairbairn back – hopefully not another one off, and John Collier? For hir first time racing

A mix of hand rail and road-rail last night for the track setup with fluted dowels and split rings holding the road-rail together much better than the rawl plugs and a lot less airborne cars and track maintenance. However one broken track section, a few “grenade pin” casualties and to be honest, rather a pain to set up compared to the handrail J

Also while some are in favour of the new road-rail, a few racers REALLY don’t like it so it looks like we’ll be back to the handrail in future, more effort to clear up but easier and quicker to put out and everyone knows what they’re getting with it.

On another subject, with various perple trying varisou tyres Richie lent me his white rally blocks for the last Q and final as my pins were all but slick. I couldn’t believe the grip white blocks gave, more than I would have had from new pins so maybe they are the way forward, I’ll certainly be getting some to try for a full noghts racing to see what theyr e like on an “early” dirtier floor!

I’m guessing Mr Hindson has posted results on our bew web page – www.newcastlercracers.uk

See you all again next week.
