Australian Slot Car Racers Association

Hi All

With the demise of Raceworld as a venue this years NSW Titles Series was reduced to two races of which the first was held last Saturday (8th November) on HSC's 125' Flat Track (aka The Road Course).

Only five (yes that is 5 - not a misprint) racers turned up to race CanAms and F1s on a beautifully clean and sticky track and so qualifying was dispensed with and two heats of three and two were run.

CanAm

Heat 1
All the way for James here with a tight battle between Joe and Neil for the minor placings - Neil finally prevailed by a lap. Heat 2
Victory for Darryl over Mark after swapping the lead at the half-way mark but not touching James total from Heat 1. Final Wash-up
James 269
Darryl 267
Mark 265
Neil 243
Joe 242

James was on fire - JK Bod and Custom Warmack Chassis built by moi. Darryl - JK Bod; nice paint and super reliable chassis. Mark - JK Bod and lightweight (for this track) chassis. Neil - Parma Bod; nice paint and self built Warmack Chassis. Joe - JK Bod and a Bramble built chassis. F1
Heat 1
James all the way again with yet another battle between Joe and Neil with Joe taking the glory this time. Joe had taken his meds prior to the race and the way he was flying he was lucky that no representative of ASADA (Australian Sports Anti-doping Authority) was there to undertake the appropriate tests Heat 2
All the way for Mark here blitzing Darryl by 9 laps and the Heat 1 totals. Final Wash-up
Mark 267
Darryl 258
James 251
Joe 245
Neil 239

Mark - Maclaren Bod and chassis using Chi-Town Bracket and Nose Darryl - Matra Bod with JK based self build James - Honda(??) Bod and Bramble chassis Joe - Maclaren Bod and 'BoneHead' (aka Justin Wills) z-rail chassis. Neil - Matra Bod with self built Hanada(correction it was a Duffy Kit) based chassis. Neil's driver was always checking his mirrors aware of the rampaging Joe coming up fast The second round of the State Titles will be on the HSC Big Track (aka The Hill Climb) on 26th November – be great to see you there to have a race, catch up with each other and to support our hobby/extreme sport.

Thanks for the race report Mark,
and thanks again to James for a excellent track prep.Thanks to all that were able to be there,I really enjoyed the racing,clean and fast,dosn't get much better or quicker than that
DARRYL

Thanks Mark.
The chassis I used was a Duffy F1 kit. Very nice. The Hanada I showed you before the race was a new build that was putting down fast times but was a bit loose. About 5 grams of handling (oops I mean lead) should cure it. ..... maybe lengthen the wheelbase?
So I decided to stick to the old sled for the race.
I had great dice with 'Smokin Joe' in both races with honours being shared. Looking forward to another battle on the big track in Rd 2.
Neil

BTW ........ Whatever drugs Joe took ......... he should bring enough for everyone..... !!!!

Thanks Neil I have made a correction to my post.

Totally agree that Joe should be sharing the good stuff

Sorry I could not make it guys.The last few weeks have not been good for me.Watch out in the 2nd round though,I will be doing my best to stuff up all of your point scores Regards BRAD.

Hi Brad - that is really good news that you will be joining the fray - we missed you
See ya there.
