We had a reasonable turnout of 5 tonight, but with only 4 racing again as Chris chose not to race and do Race Control and single marshal. This seems to work reasonably well and, at least, allows some decent racing with all 4 lanes in use.
Nick and Woody were both on good form and finished in that order with just a lap and 1/2 between. It was even closer between Geoff and Kev, they came in 3rd and 4th but with only 6 feet between them ...!!
On handicap it was a win for Nick from Woody, Geoff and Kev.

In Sports we didn't bother with qualy, just used random lane order. Woody was the only one running a Super Wasp so was expected to win quite easily. It didn't turn out that way, he was cruising along well in the lead until half way through segment 3 when his pinion came off and put paid to his race. That left Nick well ahead and going well, winning with a new PB of 184.37. He was some 15 or so laps ahead of Kev with Geoff a further 5 laps back.

4 drivers turned out tonight but with Chris not racing he did race control and was the single marshal while the other 3 ran a segmented race. We ran 2 Club Car races with no open class. It made for some decent racing in the second race as the grip came up.

We had a reasonable turnout of 6 tonight, but with only 4 racing. Nick brought along his next door neighbour, Darren, who had a good practice session early doors but decided he wasn't ready to race, and Chris didn't race but did marshal. This left Corky, Nick, Geoff and Kev. We decided to run a 4 man Segmented Club Cars followed by another 4 man segmented for F2 cars, giving us 2 marshals.
Unfrtunately Kev made a bit of a 'horlicks', picking up the wrong Race Coordinator database so I'm afraid there is no RC data for tonight, apologies !
First up was Club Cars and this proved a win for Nick, fresh from his summer break, but was pushed all the way by an on-form Geoff. Nick ran out winner by just 3 laps and a 'rusty' Kev ran in third, 8 laps back. Corky was having controller problems and actually tried 4 controllers before we figured out that, being left handed, he was sparodically pulling the wiper blade off the board.
On handicap it was a win for Geoff from Nick, Kev and Corky.

Sadly, with me cocking up the RC data I don't have accurate racing details.
I know that it was a fairly comfortable win for Kev and - i think - Corky then Nick and Geoff ??
Sorry....
Many thanks to Darren for staying on to Marshal.

We had 5 to race tonight, so we ran a 5 man segmented race but missing out Orange lane so we could have 2 marshals.
Chris was on good form again to take the overall win by some 10 laps from Woody in 2nd and Nick 3rd. His winning margin was such that he took the Handicap race as well. He posted a new overall best on Yellow of 52.87 and there were PB's for Kev and Geoff.

With 5 drivers we also ran 3 man races with 2 marshals with all to count in qualy. Chris continued with his good form to take TQ by 2 and a bit laps from Woody, then Nick Kev and Geoff. Two good PB's for Nick.
Kev's car was dis-integrating towards the end so pulled out of the finals. These we ran as 2 x 2 man races and win from any lane. First up was Geoff and Nick, and this was a straight forward win for Nick by some 7 laps from Geoff and gave Nick 3rd overall. The second race was a cracker for the first couple of minutes or so with Woody and Chris driving at break-neck speed separated by only a few inches. Both had a few offs along the way so the lead changed a few times. Woody eventually had a couple of off's too many and Chris pulled out a slender gap to take the win by just short of 1/2 a lap.

Only 4 to race tonight. Ran as 2 races using 2 sets of 2 lanes. Nick & Chris cleaned the track and it was in tip-top condition. This resulted in plenty of PB's and 2 new overall records for Chris, a 52.84 on Purple and an overall total of 200.24, first to break the 200 lap barrier.
Geoff made good use of his handicap to take the Handicap win by under half a lap from Nick.

Only 4 to race tonight. We just ran 1 2 lane qualy as Chris stripped a gear and with no spare wasn't able to continue and Kev, not feeling too well, pulled out.
That left Nick and Geof to contest a final. This went to Nick but Geoff wasn't too far back and was only 2 1/2-ish laps back at the finish. RC data.
