Up 1st was classic Lemans and Doc somehow took the win over Rico and Al 3rd.Up next was Revo slot, one off for Doc was all Al needed to take his Second in a roll points race Doc crossed the line 2nd, 3/4 lap back followed by Ricco. Next was open and we loss half the crew so track call were in order. It was a very very very close Batlle with all three cars battling side by side for multiple laps.  But Doc did the best job staying in the slot to take the win with Rico 2nd then Al.  Up next in two weeks is slot dtm and slot it/ Policar Classic. Can Doc or anybody knock Al off the top step or will he continue his dominant points run.......

There b smell of high octane  fuel and gear grease hanging in the air must be race night

Race results from December 5th:

We had six racers show up for last Thursday's race, which ended up being a kind of an up and down affair. The ups and downs had to do with the track voltage which started fluctuating during practice while running some of the faster cars. The issue did not show itself while racing the low powered Classic Sportscars.  It was a close affair with Doc just nudging me out of first and Al a lap behind in third.  Next up was the points race for Classic Policar/Slot.it and the voltage issue showed back up with a vengeance causing cars to de-slot and crashes. Doc came out under the over pass and I hit him full bore causing a track call.  When the heat resumed my car developed issues which was a broken loose headlight assembly jamming against the front tire. At this point Al decided to restart the race after re-regulating the power supply which left me time to make repairs.  The race was restarted with no more voltage issues and Doc lead the charge followed by Al and Greg. Last up was Open class.  With only four racers left it was decided to do track calls with Mitch manning the computer. My car was really hooked up and flying.  I was able to put in three clean heats for the win with Al and Doc close behind.

Yes indeed, Merry Christmas to all!!

I’m pretty sure you’re ok since Doc already has one. I can’t remember if he’s actually raced it so I would wait until he clears it.

Doc, thanks for clarifying. I have a Viper as well but you know I have to have one of those corvettes!

Zack

8 racers showed up to battle at Al's last night and the margins for the top spots seem to be getting closer all the time.  Zack made an appearance and was ready to race after making a speedy trip home to trade out the power supply as the voltage drop issue showed up once again. Once the power supply was swapped it was time to race.  First up was Classic LeMans which has always been closely contested and last night was no different.  I was the early leader with Zack nipping me in the last heat by .3 followed by Greg.  Doc had a fast car but his race was cut short by shall we say a marshalling misfortune.

Up next was RevoSlots for points. It was Doc finishing first, followed by Zack and Al in a crash filled race that couldn't end soon enough for anybody. Revo's always provide close racing and it would appear this may have led to some of the incidents as everyone was pushing hard.

Last up was Open class.  Another close affair with some great side by side racing in multiple heats. This time it was me returning the favor and beating Zack by .3 with Al  in third and Doc in fourth.  Speaking of Doc I would like to thank him for the use of his backup controller as I showed up with out my controller networks and the loaners did not seem suitable or my controller may have an issue.  This gentlemanly behavior is what makes racing with this group so enjoyable.

Once again great night of Racing. Good to see some old faces  out running  with us again. Will wait for our  race reporter to give those  that didn't  make it out the full break down of the night action and attendance.  Thanks Al for providing  A place for us old kids to play with our  Toy cars.
