And now for the F1

Heat 1 saw Darryl fly off for a good win leading all the way.

Darryl 171
Peter 164
Bill 158
Neil 143 (gotta put more lead on this baby Neil to sort it out - 115 gms is way too light for most all car/driver combinations on the difficult Flatster)

Heat 2 and Paul narrowly leads from Justin from the 2nd bracket to take the glory. I had rather a 'senior' (read as dumb) moment when I plugged into the wrong lane for a bracket which kind of finished me off factually and emotionally for the race

Paul 171
Justin 170
Leigh 161
Mark 147

Well that was that for the night - good fun and racing as usual at HSC.
