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
5th Trevor   388.8
6th Stu        383.3
7th Daniel    327.1
8th Tony      310.6
9th Paul       295.2
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.

Race Night 30/5/12

It was a non points night at the Kinloch track, so the NASCAR bodies were put on for the nights racing.
Stu and Daniel were away, but again  it was a  welcome surprise to  have Paul from New Plymouth  turn up to race.

In qualifying Dan set the pace with a 16.4 closely followed by Darren with a 16.1  Peter and Trevor were tied with  a 16.0 a piece. Barry wasn't that far behind them with a 15.6  .Stev did a respectful 14.5  With it only been the 2nd time Paul has raced here he did well  with a 13.8  .  Tony finished things off with a 12.2  .

In the first heat Darren  set the pace with a 149.3 was 1st, closely followed by a slow starting Peter with 146.1 for 2nd  .  In 3rd place was Dan with a 143.1 with a bit of a gap to 4th place  Barry's 138.2  . Trevor's motor went up in  smoke and so did his challenge for the  night and was 5th with 138.5  . It was so close,  but  6th place had Stev's name  on  it with 129.3  . 7th was Paul with 118.6 V's 8th place Tony with 115.3

The 2nd round saw Darren extend his lead in 1st  place by doing 151.6 which was just under 6 laps better than  2nd  place Peter's 145.9  . Dan was close behind in 3rd with 144.3   . Barry  did slightly  better than  his 1st round and posted a 138.9 for 4th.  Stev steeped up and took  5th with 139.9   .  With Trevor using his spare car his did a 124.2  for 6th. Tony was next on  7th with a 115.5 and Paul had car troubles and ended with 104.7

The 3rd and final round again  saw the same  order for the  top 4  guys with Darren taking  out 1st with  a 150.7  .  Peter saved his best for last, but  with 148.9 2nd place was his. In 3rd place with  142 saw Dan out for the  night and 4th  was Barry with  137.4   .    Stev did 137.4 for 5th and Trevor was off the  pace with 124  to  end up  6th.  Paul did his best set for the night and ended up 7th with 126.4  and  Tony also  saved his best for last and with  116.1 was 8th.

So that was the end of another great nights racing and with everything added up the results are as below.

1st  Darren  467.7
2nd Peter     456.9
