Australian Slot Car Racers Association

Following on from the Retro round at Raceworld; a few days earlier; the 4th round of the SRC series was run and the CanAm race was again a really close run affair.

Eight racers saw 2 races of 4 apiece and this is how it unfolded.

Race 1 had Cody, James, Greg and myself line up. Cody and I were on the same lap (sometimes separated by the counter) for the first 5 brackets! I finally got a 2 lap break on Cody in the 6th and held on to finally take the win by 3 on 343 laps . The pace was too hot for Greg who finished on a creditable 329 whilst James unfortunately ran into big trouble and missed about half the race. Race 2 was always going to be about who could chase down 343 laps which meant equaling or beating the current lap total record of 344 laps. Well Lindsay gave it a real good shake as he set off to do just that but just fell short by a lap. After the first bracket he was always trailing by at least a lap but set the fastest time of the night of 3.994 as he gave chase. Jake was next on a good 329 followed by Bob on 323. Brad had a miserable night as his car was destroyed after only 2 laps.

Unfortunately no photos tonight but I was running this: - Whilst Lindsay ran this and Cody ran a Lindsay built clone of the same.

Thanks for the Report Mark,.. certainly looks like some very close racing on the Night

Did you perhaps Not notice your Own 3.7sec' time turned on Orange ??

Yes I forgot to mention that - unfortunately it was a short lap provided by a rider I believe - it would have been a World Record otherwise I think?

Hope we see you at the Brabham.
