Winter 2013 Series

[lazysurfer]

Well following last weeks mention in the email, 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???
