Hi guys
Just thought I'd document our various trips this year to slot car events outside Manx shores, starting with this weekend's visit to Stoke, for Round 1 of the 2012 GB Slot Rally Championship. There are many more lined up, including two in March.
Club personnel attending this round will be: Ryan Kneale; Dave Kneale; Chris Angold; and Dave Capelen.
Having had our monthly club Slot Rally night last night, most cars should be pretty well set up for the weekend - or in my case, I still have to solve a nasty case of Escortitis....
Or, to put it bluntly, I may substitute alternatives for the Mk1 and Mk2 I ran last night.
We'll be trying to get amongst the points again with Ryan and I having had a few top 10 finishes last season, the highest being 5th places - the top 15 in each class score points.
We're on the boat Saturday morning, with a trip to Pendle on the cards on the way to Stoke and then a good night's sleep, hopefully, before an early (0830) start to the rally on Sunday. A new venue/organiser, mainly new tracks and some new faces to rallying. Report and photos will follow next week.
Cheers
Dave
