One of those interesting club race days; you expect very little interest and get surprised by a bunch of unexpected, very enthusiastic drivers. May I add; enthusiastic drivers from afar.. Thank you guys, you saved the day for us. If it wasn’t for your visit, it would have been a very boring day. 

 Award for best Presented RC body: 

 

1/8^th Nitro Buggy:

The Buggy race kicked off with a won by Gavin Mclean. Piet ended 2^nd and Stephen Smith in 3^rd place.  Herny Ogden drove well and ended 4^th.

Zito de Abreau had a little car trouble, Martinette Huggett had a little more and Gavin Leisching sommer much more.  Paul Lombard wasn’t even at the track yet!

Quickest lap in Round 1 – Stephen Smith – 49.96 sec.

In Round 2 Martinette beat all the guys. With her average of 57s and her 7 laps completed, none of the guys was in a position to catch this woman! Henry Ogden was in a good shape and so was his buggy. Henry completed 6 laps and came 2^nd. Piet equaled  Henry’s 60 laps and ended 3^rd.

 Paul Lomard has now joined the race and him and Gavin Leisching got 5 laps each. Stephen, Gavin McLean and Zito were having serious flame outs.

In Round 3 Gavin McLean repeated his previous victory. Henry ended 2^nd  again, but this time with much faster lap times. We saw Martinette in 3^rd place, this time around.

Fastest laptime in this round: Paul Lombard – 49.94s.

Buggy Final:

1. Martinette Huggett  - 30 laps
2. Stephen Smith  -  30 laps  (after 2 minutes + out of the race) Best lap – 48.48s
3. Paul Lombard  - 30 laps

 

1/8^th Nitro Truggy:

Round 1: Wayne Smith did 7 very satisfactory laps  -  best lap 55.78s.

Round 2: Dean Stoffberg joined Wayne and beat him with a fraction of a second.

Wayne 51.4s and Dean 50.76 s

Round 3: Both these two guys improved on their already fast lap times.  Dean beat Wayne again. His best lap 50.23s and Wane – 51.25s

 

Truggy Final:

What great entertainment these two guys spoilt us with?! They each succeeded in completing 32 laps.

Wayne still that 1 second faster than Dean.  Mmmm, not something that Wayne is used to in club races, huh? Thanks for offering Wayne a challenge for a change, Dean!
