"O" for awesome

We had our first practice run  at Stu's new track on Sunday. I think everyone would agree that it is a fantastic track to race on and with the laps time in the high 3 second range there is a lot to look forward to when the racing starts proper.  

race Night 13/6/12

Unfortunately I wasn't there for the nights racing, but I've heard though the grape vine that Peter had a big smile on his face at the end of the night by making a welcome return to  the  top  of the  podium.  He has been threatening for awhile and everything came together for him  on the night.  Everyone had a great time and the racing format was also a great hit and it could be something that we could use again.

Patrice At Stu's This Sunday

Just a quick reminder that there is a practice on  Stu's new track  this Sunday at 1pm onward. This looks like it's going to be a great track to race on. This being the 4th track, we are very lucky to have a strong club here in Tauranga. 

Proposed Extension For The Kinloch Track

Nothing  is going to happen for a few months and realistically it  probably won't happen until the chrismas holidays,  but this is what it will look like when it does happen.

This Weeks Racing - 16th Ave Track

This weeks (13/6/12) racing we will be using the NASCAR bodies.Darren  has organised a fun night, so basically any motor/chassis will do, but no group 12's please.  Sorry about the confusion.

Race Night 6/6/12

 It was the 10th round of the points competition at the Scantlebury track. With Stev away and Paul making the trip up to our shores there were 9 cars lined up on  the starting grid.

Dan set the pace in qualifying by doing a 15.6, followed by Darren's 15.10. The next lot were in  the 14 lap range with Stu doing 14.5 with Peter and Barry tied on 14.4  . Next was Trevor with 14.0   . It was close for the next 3 places with Daniel doing a 11.9 it was just enough to  get him in front of Tony with a 11.8  . Paul rounded up the field with a 11.1
The first round saw Dan (134.4) open up 2 lap lead over Peter (132.9).  Darren (132.3) was 1/2 lap behind. There was a 4 lap gap to Trevor (128.2) and a 1 lap gap to Barry (127.1). Next was Stu (125.4)  two laps behind. There was a 15 laps gap to  Daniel (109.4) and then another 12 laps to Tony (97.1). 5 laps behind him was Paul (89.5).
The 2nd round again Dan (134.3) lead the way over Darren (130.7). Peter (129.9) so close, but with  a bit of a breather to   Barry (125.3).   who had a good gap  to  Trevor (118.4)  who  had a slight  lead over  Stu  (117.0).   Tony (101.8) had a good  run to come out  in  front of Daniel (99.3)  .  Paul (91.0) chased hard to keep them honest.
In  the 3rd round Dan (135.1) did a clean sweep for the night.  Peter (130.2) had no answer never did Darren (129.8). Trevor (128.2) repeated his 1st round total and Stu (126.4) just got  in  front of Barry (126.2).  Daniel (106.5) fought of Paul (103.6) who  got one over Tony (99.9)
With the nights racing over and the laps added up  the results are as below;
1st Dan       419.4
2nd Darren  407.9
3rd Peter     407.4
4th  Barry    393.0

6th Stu        383.3
7th Daniel    327.1

It was a fast and furious nights racing with some cars finding  the floor more than once. The next two meetings will  be at the 16 ave track with  the first been a non  point night followed by a points night.
Many thanks to  Peter for coming up with  the new spread sheet.
So throw on some tyres, clean  up  your braids, Get out  your  LMP bodies  and I will see you there.
