6. Racers may race multiple entries in any race however, to be eligible for an official win, racers must complete the entire race with the original entry they start the race with. If a racer switches cars due to mechanical failure, or to improve performance anytime during the race, they are not eligible for an official win.

So can you change cars and improve your performance and get credit for the result if you finish second or lower?

Asking for a friend.

It was a beautiful day weather-wise as the sun shined bright and we opened the garage door to enjoy the outdoors.  A big thanks to all the racers that came to play.  It was nice to see a number of younger racers.  We'll probably have to move Todd up now that he's actually taller than I am.

Congratulations to Dan on his first win at the Pen.

It was good, close racing all day.  We'll hope to see you all at the next one.

Thanks to all that came out to play this past Sunday.  Weather was just nice enough that we kept the garage door closed all day.  Cool outside but inside we saw some hot racing action.  Congratulations to Jeff for his first Penguin Point win.  His McLaren was just a-flyin' around the track.  It took an IROC set with a mix of DTM's for me to finally find my way back to the winners circle.  To top it off, Victoria made a killer batch of beef stew.  Here's some results:

Ok, we've talked about a rally class.  As it turns out the World Rally Proxy is getting ready to start up and they will be using Scalextric Group B rally cars.  For the most part these are:

Ford RS 2000
Audi Quattro
Lancia Delta S4
MG Metro 6R4

Interested in joining the proxy?  Perhaps this would be a decent start for a rally class.  Ebay has a number of these cars available.  I'm already on board with a Lancia Delta S4 but I'm also considering the Michelle Mouton Audi Quattro.

In the immortal words of Stig Blomqvist at the Maine Forest Rally when discussing dust on the course: "Don't be a wimp, put your foot down!"  Been there, done that, got the autographed t-shirt.
