A very small race, on a HOT summer's day,  but we at least had two lady drivers to add some spice to this month’s club race.

Esmarie joined her husband Francois Geyser on the driver stand to take part in the 8^th scale GT race.

She also joined him at  the podium, to claim her part of the fame, for her contribution in painting the car..

And Charmaine Wright was here to compete in this exciting class as usual.

BELOW: Francois & Esmarie Geyser 

 

Rolan Ferreira made a comeback, after performing so well last time.

Piet du Toit, Francois and Johan (Hein) Korff are old hands by now and they were all here. Henry (track owner) had a terribly busy week and he did not have time to fix whatever was broken on his GT, so he just took care of the administrative functions this time around.

Although there were so few entries, the drivers showed up with some beautiful, freshly painted RC bodies and subsequently made it hard to choose only one car as the award winning Best Presented Body. The yellow Corvette, painted by Francois ultimately received the trophy. Congratulations.

Round 1:

This round was won by Johan Korff . And although Francois equaled his 15 laps and they both completed best laps of 19. something seconds, Korff’s better average earned him the 1^st place.

Charmaine and Rolan scores 13 laps each and Esmarie 12. Piet did not start.

Round 2:

Rolan won this round and Korff had to be content with a 2^nd place. Piet now joined the other drivers and ended 3^rd.

Esmarie had a late start and so did Francois, because he and Henry spent time trying to get her on the track first.

Charmaine had car trouble.

Round 3:

Johan took his 1^st place back and also boasts a best lap of 18.87s

Piet ended 2^nd and Francois 3^rd. This time Esmarie equaled her husband’s 11 laps. Charmaine and Rolan both picked up car trouble.

Round 4:

Although Korff could not get another 18 second lap, he still ended in 1^st place. (19.09s)

Rolan ended 2^nd and Francois 3^rd .

Piet struggled with a non-cooperating car.Esmarie was doing well, but Piet and Charmaine still battling with their cars.

Final 30 minute GT race:

Korff won this race with two more laps (84) behind his name than Rolan who ended 2^nd. Rolan’s best lap – 18.77s. This achievement was reached in his 82^nd lap. Wow!!!! Well done, Rolan!

(It seems that Rolan had a late start, as well. ) Look out, Korff, he is coming for you!

Piet took the 3^rd place on the podium – 78 laps

Both Francois and Esmarie were held back by car trouble.

Charmaine did not start.
