Manor Farm championships, (your own cars) Options

[Mr.M]

As Will wasn't there and can't provide us with one of his excellent reports, I thought I would step into the breach.


I won


And Wes came last

[AAWSCC]

You forgot to mention the new game we found.

Slot car football!

[wes]

FAQ
1. I often have to refresh my browser to see the latest results/information, what can I do to mitigate this? Look in your browser's settings and set to "always reload page". Some versions of Internet Explorer are particularly keen not to reload pages, why not try another browser.
My Favourite browser is Opera , this has been the pace setter since the 90s' with long standing features that other browsers call new. It also has an enviable security record and strives to be fully standards compliant. It also incorporate a very dependable Email client, so if you have suffered yet another of those "Outlook Outrages" - look no further. If you are still on a dialup Opera also has a fantastic TURBO setting that speeds up browsing on slow connections. You can get Opera Mini for phones or smart phones which can integrate with your desktop Opera favourites and notes ----- Oh no I have been going on a bit! I should recommend another browser, it's as fast as Opera but takes the lean and mean path. Optimised for the new on-line apps CHROME is pretty well essential to get the best out of things like Google docs.

2. Even when I refresh the page I see an out of date web page? This can be to your internet supplier sending you its own stored version (Cache) of a particular page, this is usually a temporary situation and should not happen regularly.

Nice report Will, but shouldn't it be on the Bolwextric thread and not the MFR. MFR is own cars is it not?

[Wambulance]

Yes, just changed it. Not only am I a slow racer that can't remember the correct lane but also can't sort out the correct championship either

It's a yes from Pat and Will, many thanks and congratulates to Wez. What time?

Cheers - Will.

Sadly, another lean night of racing with just 6 contenders. We went for the double shot - repeating the classes after the break.

From the start it was a night of 2 races with Keith, Jim and Dave L scrapping for the top title while Wez, Matt and myself scratched around in their dust. By half time it was Jim with 67, Keith 66 and Dave 61, some how I had managed to lord it (nice one eh Dave?) over Wez and Matt with 40, 35 and 31.

Second shot then - up front it was business as usual till the final round and Jim had a ghastly 8 while Keith managed an impressive 16, which was enough to give K the night with 134, followed with J on 130 and D on 119. Wez sorted out his Gold Member in the Carrera Muscle class, I failed to replicate my ace form in the Hornby F1s' and all of a sudden it was "FIGHT ON". By the final round Wez was in front and I needed to make up 6 points, it was Bolwextric Accord against Bolwextric Accord. Wez stayed calm and had his best round while I went wildly to my worst and crashed out big time, oh woe. Matt started to get the hang of staying on and picked up runner up placings and get some miles under his belt - nice work brother. In the end it was W 84, W 71 and M 62 as a Steady Matt picked up the same score as a Wild Will in the second half.

With just 2 rounds to go, is it time to start picking? Keith is looking good for well deserved wins, while Robin and PJ (come on guys, where are you?) are gifting Wez a runner up place in the Clubmans.
MFR current results.

Spose it is really.

Any suggestions?

Ninco and Fly are a bit conspicuous by their absence at the moment.

How about Fly Prototypes or Fly Classic?

Ninco F1 or Ninco GT?

All well served with club cars.

Ninco and Fly are a bit conspicuous by their absence at the moment.

Ninco n' Fly sound like some dodgy flying squad team, so that would cover, 3 litre Capri, Granada and of course if they are really dodgy a JAG. If so, would we have get into the part and dress with kipper ties, flareds, fag in mouth and call Tony and Jim "GUV"?

Tony has some blues and twos so perhaps half the lanes could run those while the others could be the baddies with Transits, not sure how that would work round the track but it seemed an ideal combo for racing around disused industrial estates, docksides, country tracks and muddy fields.

At the risk of digressing further - the old V4 Transits were pretty handy off road, with the light and gutless engine and twin wheels at the back, intelligently loaded they had good traction if little steering. Pity newer Trannies haven't continued the tradition, EH Tony?

[Mr.M]

Thought I'd better put down the classes we came up with last night, before we all forgot them again.

Fly Classic - from memory we agreed to make it pre-75 to stop it becoming an M1 fest, and we also suggested that tyres can be replaced with ones from any other RTR slotcar because the club Lolas are running different rears. I'm fairly sure they were ones from an SCX Audi R8, but as long as you can show what car they came from they will be fine. But no aftermarket tyres.

Ninco GT Anglewinder.

SCX F1.

NC1 & SCX Junior rally. Any of the SCX or Ninco small hatches, but Ninco has to be NC1 powered, because the club Puntos are.

Did I get that right?

Pretty well, Mr T had the order slightly different and don't forget Open open to end. If no one says otherwise I will list them as here now.
