It seems the hump has got the hump, so no hump this series at least, or maybe forever. 8 of us slugged it out in round 3, Tim had some great cars, sometimes he forgot to breath, sometimes he forgot to listen as the crowd roared - Tim's car is illegal. For me it was a welcome distraction as yet again things went bad for me, worse then even the classes would have me to expect, even with the frequent application of Wambulance mode I struggled to avoid a last place finish in most classes.
Keith got off to a good start in Carrera F1 winning with 34, Luke was bast of the rest with 27.
34 for again for Keith as he won Hornby GT, this time Wes and Jim shared the 27s.
Time for Jim to step to the top step as he won Muscle with 34, Keith was next with 32.
At the break Keith was well out in front with 99, Jim was next a long way away. Luke was ahead in Clubman just clear of Tim. We picked the classes for the second part, see below.
33 was Jim's winning score in RAID, Wes was runner up with 28. Luke obliterated his Clubman opposition as he got used to and then made good use of Tony's special red Pajaro.
My only car I can use in these picks is for Open open wheeler, it has done good work for me as it was pretty good out of the box (Tim - that's a real box, with a standard car in it!). But straight off the line something wasn't right, by the first corner I was way behind, and struggled to make up any ground. Turns out I had a touch of the single wheel drive, I tried a few driver fixes and actually went on to get my best class of the night. Up front Jim and Tim were slugging it out as Jim tried to plead tyre outrage while Tim just held his breath. Jim won by a point with 31. Luke was headed for an over the ton total but this was by far his worst class with a rather sad 12 points, he had beaten me easily in every other class.
A slender victory to Jim with 145, Keith was next with 142. 107 was enough for Tim to snatch the Clubman as Luke actually only managed 95.
Classes were picked for part 2:
1. SCX Junior Rally.
2. Ninco GT inline.
3. Lightweight F1.
4. Fly Classic.
5. Open Open.
Jim your scribbling of the classes was commendably clear, however the size of the hill you need to climb was demonstrated when - I just could not work out what L/W F1 meant and I had to consult the previous class lists - how sad it that. Which brings me to.......
Having put a new list of past picks going back 8 years and seeing as we are now post hump, perhaps we could decide an order of classes like Class 1 Open Wheel, 2. GT, 3 Road cars .........., at the moment looking back through the list is a bit of a dark art. I will bring in a printed new list in on Thursday and it is also It seems the hump has got the hump, so no hump this series at least, or maybe forever. 8 of us slugged it out in round 3, Tim had some great cars, sometimes he forgot to breath, sometimes he forgot to listen as the crowd roared - Tim's car is illegal.
