End of the Winter Championship
Well as a lot of you will know it is now the end of the winter championship with most the prize positions still being competed for, and as a result this produced some very close racing thoughout the day.
As lots of people are so very very keen to find out where they finished the points will not be published until the prize giving, this will take part after the caravan racing so do attend to find out who won what and find out where you finished in the running.
And on that note do not forget caravan racing is on Sunday 31st January and all monies rasied are for a good cause.
Racing in the Snow
Well with all the snow we have been everywhere we could not miss the operatunity to have a play in the snow…… And what better chance than carry on and have the 5th round of the winter championship.
The day was fun and when the snow balls started to fly they were aimed at one other and for those that had a good aim, at the cars. There was also stray snow men appearing on the track for all to aim at.
By the end of the day everyone was saying
“Can we race in snow more often?”
So all that can be said to that is Roll on more snow!!
Friday Electric Racing
Well the Electric Championship has 1 event left to be raced and there is still a fair amount to race for.
The only thing that is going to have to change for the last race of the season is the time the racing starts, due to the nights getting darker sooner we are going to have to get things underway by about 6.45 as the track is getting dark about 8.30. Saying that though as long as there are no MAJOR problems we still have plenty of time to run the 3 qualifiers and the finals in both classes.
Final note. As most of you will know we have been running the Electric Championship for 2 reasons, first is it is something different to do so we can cater for more racers. The second and in some ways the more important reason for running the Electric Championship was to help the BRCA get the Electric SWORDS up and running again, unfortunately we are the only RC Car Club in the South West that has shown any interest in getting this going again. Watch this space for more information on it.
