This weeks format will be for the most number of laps. There will be no qualifying with 4 races instead of 3. The person with the most number of laps over the 4 races will win the nights racing. The track has a good layer of rubber, so we should see some quick times.
Good luck....

This weeks racing was at Darren's at Sixteenth Avenue,
Good nights racing with everyone showing good pace and driving skill!
Racing was very close with PETER winning the nights points
"He should be happy as he hasn't won since the last points round"
Nice one Peter!
Daniel improving nicely,
Looks like Tony will be racing with us soon - Looking forward to it.
Barry's new car is VERY FAST!!

Wednesday Night Racing 13 July 2011
We saw some very close racing last night with some tight finishes. Dan's winning streak of 5 in a row came to a end with Trevor coming out the overall winning and Stu close behind for 2nd. 3rd was tied between Darren and Peter. Dan never recovered from his bad start and ended in 5th and Daniel rounding off in 6th. Some record times were set and 50 laps taking about 3min 3sec.
The staggered starts seem to work fine, so they will stay. At this stage I will probably go back to the 3min races instead of 50 laps.
The next time we race here it will be for laps (and sections), with a A&B final. (as per Dan's).
Next week we will be at the 16th ave. Darren is always hard to beat at home, so no doubt there will be plenty of work been done before then.

Racing format for Wed 13/7/11
I was thinking of using the following format for next weeks racing;
Qualifying;
Fastest lap over 1 minute and work points backwards by the number of people. (7 people - 1st would get 7 and 7th will get 1)
Racing;
Race over 50 laps (should be around 3 min 15 sec) and points per race. 1st will get 3, 2nd gets 2 and 3rd 1.
This might seem a bit unbalanced in the points between the qualifying and the racing, but it is pretty close to the same points system we have been using at Dan's.
(Qualifying: points awarded 1st = 6pts 2nd = 5pts etc down to 1point
Race points (3x 3min) 1st= 10pts 2nd = 8pts 3rd =6 pts.)
If you win all 3 races you will get 9 points v's 10.
Any other suggestions or feed back would be appreciated.

race night 6/7/11
The first nights racing at the Kinloch track went pretty well, but with a few problems with the timing system showing up. Hopefully it should be all sorted out by next week. This week saw 7 people turn up which made for some great racing. A big shout out to the newest member Daniel who is starting to show some good pace. With a bit of time he should be right up there. Also once Barry gets used to his new controller he will be right on the pace. Darren was a bit unlucky with a motor wire coming off after a crash.
This weeks format was for points. 1st qualifier getting 7 points, 2nd getting 6 points etc. For the racing 1st got 10 points, 2nd getting 8 points and 3rd getting 6 points.
Congratulations to Dan taking out 1st place. This must make it about 5 in a row now.
The overall results are as below
1 Dan 94 points
2 Pete 89 points
3 Stu 82 points
4 Trev 75 points
5 Darren 73 points
6 Barry 62 points
7 Daniel 57 points
Next weeks racing will also be at the Kinloch track.
The main focus will be 1/24th racing, but afterwards there will be a quick 1/32 racing (time permitting), so bring your 1/32 cars just in case.

Thanks
to everyone who came along on Saturday to try out the track. Everything seems to be working so Race night on Wednesday will be at the Kinloch Track aka Trevors place.
Handy Tip for the week: Check for obstacles behind your car before reversing over them.
