F1 Dec 22

A bumper turnout for the last F1 night of the year. Brian came up and brought Steve Kearey and it was good to see Dave Austin making a return to slot racing after a spell away. Charlie brought John with him and Gavin Wills put in a welcome appearance. With 16 drivers it was to be a long night with 16 heats and 7 finals !!

The track had a quick clean before racing and it was a while before the grip came up and in qualy there were only a couple of 36+ heats. Corky put in a 36.12 on White and then late on Woody did a 36.53 on White. That was good enough to put Woody in pole position and Trev had 4 good runs and his best 2 put him 2nd. Corky’s series put him 3rd and Brian was 4th.

With 7 finals it was going to be hard to come up from the bottom. Perhaps the best run was Kev who won both the D and C finals to make the B, but his luck ran out there. Corky and Brian along with Charlie & Kev contested the B with Brian and Corky making it through to the A.
In the A final, Woody took an early lead and was closely followed by Brian who was within 1 second for the first 12 laps. Then disaster for Woody, a big off on lap 13 saw him lose alot of ground and Brian took the lead. Brian then settled down to spend the next 2 minutes lapping around the 5 second mark, but Woody started lapping a good 3/10ths quicker, and got back on the same lap and was catching Brian fast. Brian had it under control, though, but the finishing margin of 18 parts was a bit too close for comfort. Brian’s winning total was 35.54 to Woody’s 35.36, Trev ran in 3rd about 40 parts back on Woody and Corky took 4th, not quite a lap behind Trev.

So, a late finish but we still managed to finish off the night in time honoured fashion !!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Racing Year.
