Due to a slight problem with the computer the original plans for the first round of the Le Mans class gave way to a bit of improvised crash & burn racing.
Section won was four races per person with points scored : 5 for a win, 3 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd, 1 for 4th / DNF. Phil F 20 Chris 18 Russ 18 Ben 16 Steve 14 Mike 13 Time 9 Reece 8 Phil B 8 Seb 8 Keith 7 Martyn 6 Matt 4 Matt 2 4 Dai 4 Alan 4 Andy to late to start F Final: Dai Andy Alan Matt 2 E Final: Matt Dai Andy Alan D Final Keith Matt Martyn Seb C Final Keith Phil B Tim Reece B Final Ben Keith Steve Mike A Final Phil F Chris Ben Russ Another win for Mr F! Great race by Dai in the first final - a well deserved win. Russell gets the prize for the shortest race - you managed to make Ben's race finish on the first corner as well but I suspect you had others in your site as well! Hopefully all will be well with the PC for next time Cheers, Keith -------------------- |

Thanks to Keith for sorting out the races and positions at such short notice. Thanks also to Martyn and Dai for pulling all the computers apart, I`m fully confident that they`ll get all the bits in one working unit ready to test next thursday, no pressure lads
 The crash and burn made a nice change from our usual format and was a damn site easier to mashal  Cheers - Phil

That was a fun night, but very confusing - I think I just did what I was told by the MC/ race director! Well done Keith .
I thought my son's grand entry for his delayed first heat was well received, bless him. I think we can get the pcs up and running again, but will have to suspend work this evening - the oxyacetylene has run out again. Could try an angle grinder, but that would put a lot of dust in the pc so we'll quite literally "hang fire". Fancy James May almost turning up for our club night ! -------------------- |

"Fancy James May almost turning up for our club night !"
I think he`s ok in a straight line but he has a problem turning corners! Anyway Chris will chat with him and we`ll see what develops. -------------------- VISIT OUR WEBSITE
