Good afternoon all,
Thanks for all the support last week it is appreciated.
So to this weeks round of your drive-em, you break-em, so you have to mend-em LOL.
Seriously, its the fifth round out of seven in this Formula 1 championship race series, with only fourteen meetings left before the team race on 19th december, our Presentation Night.
Yes Formula one didn't disappoint with the constant de-slots and crashes, I cant remember one heat or final when every one didn't leave
the track at some point.
So to the heats, As I said so many de-slots, or wires coming out, wings, wing mirrors, etc all leaving debris over the track and its the hardest
night for the marshal's putting cars back in their slots and a few drivers even tried flying their cars into the rubbish bin at turn 1.
We had a few crashes and several were like Alonso flying over the car in the next lane.
Well done to Iain who I think for the second time in his slot racing career at Presto took four wins in the heat well done mate.
Alf was missing last night as he is on holiday, but his cars made an appearance in the hands of Richard T. and it helped Richard to reach the
A final
So to the finals:-
Final D saw John D take on Keith and Ray, this was a shock for John D as he is usually in the A final but his lotus was not running very well
till he borrowed a car from Mike for the final which proved very good. After 25 laps John D took the win followed by Ray and Keith who's car
was very sick by the end.
Final C was contested by John D, Stuart, (nice to see you again), Lyle and John M. This was a quick final but the dreaded de-slots came
time after time but after the 25 laps the win was taken by Stuart followed by Lyle, John D and John M bringing up the rear.
Final B saw Stuart take on Mike, Tone, and Steve, this final was close for the first couple of laps and again the dreaded de-slots and
some scrapes we had Mike take the win to be followed home by Steve, Tone, and Stuart.
Final A saw an unusual name in the line up, Iain took on Mike, James H, and Richard. It was the closest race and the fewest de-slots
of the night, with Iain taking the lead and holding it all the way while Mike, James and Richard fight for the other places . So the final result
saw Iain take the win from James H, Mike and Richard bringing up the rear.
The final points results for the night are as follows :-
Iain 25 + 1pt for fastest lap, a new lap record of 6.523 secs.
James H 23
Mike 21
Richard T 20
Steve 19
Tone 18
Stuart 17
Lyle 16
John D 15
John M 14
Ray 13
Keith 12
Next week we start Round 6 of the Slot-it Class.
Hope to see you all there for another great night at Presto Park.
