After several weeks of a lot of hard work tonight saw the first practise/test night on our new circuit. Thirteen drivers attended to rubber in the new track which ran faultlessly all evening. Many of the drivers commented on how much they liked the new circuit and how nicely it flowed, in particular 'Seymour Swerve' a very fast esses which when rubbered in may be able to be taken flat - if you are brave.
My thanks must go to Peter who spent many hours with me building the circuit and decorating the club room. Also my thanks to Alf, Viv, Mark and our junior member Oli who also gave up their time to help on several evenings and weekends, without the help from these members the construction and decoration would have taken much longer.
Hopefully next Wednesday we will be back to normal racing, that is if the recording sensors arrive on time.
Next Wednesday is Standard Saloons, hope you can all make it.
Sorry Mike - i have the publishing rights on all photos taken at Presto Park and you will have to pay + P & P. Only joking, yes there will be photos of the new track and club room when i've finished the scenery which should be within the next couple of weeks. I'm sure you and Mick K will like the new track when we see you in October.
My problem now is finding someone who can post the pics on Slot Forum.
Oh by the way, I have installed a power supply that even you can't drain at the start of a race !!!
Thanks Viv, saved my bacon again. There you go Mike T pictures and a video too ! Glad i have someone in the club who can post photos for me. Amazing how quick the grass grows in Hevingham. Mike
Alf. Trust you to post that picture. You told me that when you had a technical problem whilst you were at Team Lotus that is what you did most of the time - drink tea, have a sit down and then the problem seemed to sort itself out. Just following your excellent advice.
I don't know why the Goodwood Cup wasn't popular at Presto last year, as i personally thought it was a great class.
I am holding a 'Roy Harvey Memorial Trophy' race at Presto Park on Wednesday 17th October, in memory for my late Dad who passed away last October - he loved the cars of that era. This will be for Sports/Gt cars of the 1960's/70's as raced at Goodwood each year, but exact details i haven't sorted yet.
It will be great to have you all at Presto to support this event.

Hi mike. Your track looks fantastic mate. Good luck with the club for the future.
As for the above event, I would love to be included
Please include me too Mike. I love these cars!
Not trying to muscle in on something that is a tribute to your Dad and all respect for that but judging by Kev's post we could perhaps make it a three round series at Presto, Norwich and ASR. Quite understand if you want to just run it at Presto though...
I would like to have this meeting as a memory to my Dad as it will be the first year but perhaps we can have a chat about a Goodwood three Race Series for 2013. Mike
Absolutely. Next year would be great. It would be fantastic to see all the Norfolk clubs competing in at least one event as it seems to me we are slot racings strongest county by far!
Lap recorders installed today. Back to normal racing this Wednesday - Standard Saloons. Mike
