Langley Model Car Club
Results from 31st July 2009
Qualifying - Qualifying all ran smoothly from a race control point of view.
Michele who had flown in especially from Italy for the event had mixed results and suffered with the car keep refusing to steer.
Unfortunately he need to leave around 10pm so missed the finals as he had to catch a personal jet back home again.
In his rush to leave he left with our number 3 transponder. Andrew has 2 of his motors for skimming, so I'm sure we'll be seeing him again.
Andrew tried out different tyres during the evening and eventually preferred the wet weather D20 or D22 tyres and took top spot on these.
Finals - With Michele leaving early it was decided to have just an A'final.
Luckily Ben Nash who had been watching all evening agreed to be the single
marshal. Racers also reluctantly agreed to allow Dave P to marshal, provided he did not rush anywhere.
Duane from 2nd place on the grid quickly got past Andrew while his tyres were warming up.
With 14 laps difference in the qualify times there was always going to be lots of overtaking.
Around the 1/2way stage Andrew's tyres had warmed up and combined with Duane making a couple of mistakes took what he thought was the lead.
On checking the results the computer had Mikael down as the winner on 36 laps, with Duane on 33 and Andrew DNS.
All drivers looked equally confused until Andrew realised he had not reprogrammed his transponder for the 1st time since having a programmable one about 3 years ago.
