Race Night 27/6/12 Kinloch Track NASCAR Bodies

With Darren, Daniel and Stu away that left 6 cars lined up on the starting grid for the nights racing. It was a strange night, with just about everyone having some sort of problem as some stage of the  night. The two  people who suffered the  most were Dan  and Stev. Dan  again had motor troubles  and  Stev who  had some controller problems and by the time he had found the fault the nights racing was just about over. But we all got there in  the end.
Peter  had a great run and was just about untouchable all night long  and took  out the win. Trevor came in a distance 2nd  and Barry did some good laps,  but couldn't quite get there to  finish 3rd. Between his motor stopping, loosing a wheel and  a car that would not handle Dan did well to finish 4th. Tony was very consistent and made sure that  5th place was his. Stev couldn't break into  the 40's and rounded off things for 6th place.
Next weeks racing will be back at the Kinlock track again,  this time for a points night with  the sedan bodies.So I think  everyone will be doing a lot  of work on their cars and it will  be a lot  closer and tougher nights racing.

Race Night Results 20/6/12

I got then  slightly wrong, as we moved the cars over instead of starting at the start line after each  race. The positions haven't change just  some of gaps have. Below is the  correct results.

Race Night Results - Points Series 16th Ave Track

This being the 11th race meeting for the  points series represented a bit of a  milestone, as we are now exactly  half way though the points series. It is still anyone's  at this stage with  only a few points covering some  of the  places.  The racing has been close and hard and it looks like  it's not going to get any easier.
There  were 7 drivers lined up on the starting grid for the nights racing.
With  the track cleaned down  some of the drivers found the track a bit hard going,  but it soon  gripped up and some  good times were put down.
In qualifying Darren  lead  the way with  a 29, followed by Peter with a high 27.  Next was a  trio  of 26's with Dan and Trevor tied and Barry just behind them. Next was a small gap to Stu with  a 25 and Tony  drove well to do a 22.
The 1st round Darren set  the pace with a 258.23  Next was Peter with a 254.06 followed  by Trevor with a 250.03  It was  very close between the  next two with Stu just getting  there with a 242.63 v's Barry's 242.47  Tony was  next with  a  204.03  Dan's night went downwards, when  after a crash his motor died  for no  apparent reason and could  only do 69.10
The  2nd round saw Trevor get his car into  gear  to take  it  out with a 257.21  Next was  Darren  with a  254.73  Peter kept  him honest  by  doing a 254.03   Next was Stu on  a 242.39  Barry  was chasing hard and ended up  with 238.94   Tony did some  great driving and ended up  with 201.63  Dan  borrowed  a car for the  2nd round, but found it  not to  his style and stopped after 1 race and ended  up  with 77.90
With  Dan  confined to computer duties there were 6 drivers  in  the  3rd and  last round. There was  nothing between  the top  3  guys with Trevor again  taking it  out  by  doing a  255.93 closely  followed by a consistent Peter with  a 254.66  Darren  was right up  his spur gear with a 254.20  Stu came in  next with  a 241.90  and Barry did a 233.16  Tony  saved his  best for last and did a 204.53
Once all  the heats were added up  as well as the  qualifying the  results are as  below.
1st    796.49 Darren
2nd   790.72 Peter
3rd    789.94 Trevor
4th    752.55  Stu
5th    742.27  Barry
6th    632.29  Tony
7th    173.77  Dan 

Just a reminder that the next two meetings will  be at the Kinloch track. The 1st being a non points night with the NASCAR bodies  followed by a  points night with  the sedan bodies. The  race meeting after that (11/7) hopefully might be at Stu's track, but this will  be confirmed as the date gets closer. Unfortunately I  won't  be  able to make  that  one, as I  will be sliding down  the ski  slops on  my  bum  with wife and  kids  laughing at  my misfortune
So  dust off  your bodies, straighten up  your rims,  check out  your motors and I will  see you there.
