Hi again from the president

24 Entries last Saturday the car park on one side was nearly full, and it was an awesome day of racing, with only 2 more weeks left to run in the summer series things are heating up, who are going to be the winners? It was great to see some new faces and also some first time racers out on the track, a couple of them had never driven on a track before, and from what I could see of their driving they were doing a great job out on the track. I am really going to have to watch out in the legends class, the other drivers are catching me and even passing me. The last race in legends was a nail bitter for me as I passed Lawrie to take the lead on the third last lap it was a good clean race, with the cars so evenly matched speed wise it is hard to catch up once a mistake is made.

Please remember the  Drag racing trial on the 21st of February, so any aspiring RC drag racers out there get your cars ready, pull out the crazy 2.5 turn motors and join in. (I will have one of my 008's there with a motor I have been saving for a special occasion) On the same day we are having the warm up/ practice round to get ready for the start of the next series of racing, the track will be set up and the computer will be in practice mode so people can check their lap times. At lunch time we will be presenting the trophies for the summer series that draws to a conclusion the previous night.

Another day to keep in the back of your mind and set aside is the 28th of March for the Holden car show. This is a chance for us as a club to show our cars off to the general public as they come to have a look at the real cars on show. We might have slightly restricted track space on the day so a different track layout might be required. However I am encouraging people to bring whatever cars they want it is a fun open day bring your Monster Trucks, 1/8th Buggies, Drifters etc anything within reason goes. I will be dusting off my 1/5th scale F1 again for this day. If you have any questions regarding this day have a chat with me I am always happy to help out.

Also please remember the two special racing events for trophies this year the first of them being the "DANDY CUP" run over two days. The other big race event is the "RON WILSON MEMORIAL". Further details regarding the calendar will be announced on this web site over the next couple of weeks, so keep tuned and be ready for heaps of racing action.

Models and Hobbies 4 U have been extremely generous and donated a pair of rear tires for a legends car as a prize. This pair of tires will be awarded to the driver with the fastest lap time in the legends series at the end of this series. To try and even this out I am going to take the fastest three lap times for each driver and then calculate the average of these three laps and the driver with the fastest average time will be awarded the pair of rear tires at the end of the season. Thank you too Models and Hobbies for U for donating the prize, any new drivers interested in purchasing a car to race down at our club should head up to the their shop, I am sure the guys up there will be able to point you in the right direction of what gear you need to purchase. They have plenty Legends cars and all the bits required to get it going on the shelf.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the track again this Saturday afternoon. Just a reminder Practice starts at 4:30 and entries will be taken shortly after that so you better get there early to secure a good pit area, and to help set the track up

Always keep them shinny side up!
