Hi Dick.
Looks like you all had a great days racing, sorry I could not be there.
Just looking at the lap totals...they look really low in the heats...its a big track, but just how long is an average lap time?!
Also, the Final lap totals are much higher, were you running set 20 lap finals or 4 minutes?
Looking forward to coming down next year...lets hope for no date clashes!
Cheers Bill.

Bill, the laps times are about 11 secs average, 10.5 is you are going quickly. Steady 11.25secs will give 16 laps.
A Finals were 20 laps, B&C Finals 15 laps.

Thanks Dick.
With those sort of lap times, the track must be 130 ft +!
Look forward to getting my head around the big track, and the models to!
Cheers Bill.

Hi Dick
That room and track looks great, I'll try to make it next year. Just out of hospital the week before and feeling a bit below par, but I feel I've missed out now.

Cheers, Derek
