Track 19 is one of my favourite
tracks, and it showed tonight!
Welcome 
to a couple of new racers this
week, hope you enjoyed it!
You can check out the results
from tonight below, but some of the summary results are missing
due to a "technical" error - but will be fully updated

Back to normal racing this week,
and it seems that a few drivers needed a rest after the stress
of the Championship  .
Still, it gave some of us the chance to run in an A Final,
which we've not done for a while!
| Isn't it just
typical, you buy a lovely new car, get it built and race
ready, then stuff it into the barriers in Heat 1 and you
don't have any spares to fix it? Well that's just what
happened to Matt Thomson's car tonight - you have to feel
for someone in that position, yet Matt still managed to
keep smiling for the rest of the evening - here's hoping
you have better luck next week. |

End
of Championship Series....
....well it's all over now except
for the whoopin' and a hollerin', along with the gnashing
of teeth and sobbing in the corner (well for me at least  )
But seriously, that's the 2008 Spring Championship over, and
thank you to everyone for an exciting series, with some excellent
racing, and I have to say everyone at the Club is showing
real improvement and the racing at every level is getting
closer and closer.
So, just to conclude - who won
what.....

Now we don't normally make changes
to the Formula standings of drivers until the end of the year,
but with the way this series has gone, then it seems appropriate
to make some changes now, and as is true with life itself,
there will be winners and loosers  .
So how will things shape up from
now? Here are the movers and shakers:
| Charlie
Ware |
|
From F2 to F1 |
| Dan Mayes |
|
From F2 to F1 |
| Colin Williams |

Welcome
Before I start with this weeks
update, I just want to say hello to the three new drivers
who came along last night, it sounds like you have nearly
got your cars ready to run and we look forward to seeing out
on track on the next few weeks
Racing....
...so, what
was going on with the racing this week - can't even use
the track as an excuse! Of course, I shouldn't pick out
anyone for special comment, but TOM WHAT WERE YOU DOING
IN QUALIFYING 
(had to put that in didn't I - the power of being the
website editor!). No seriously, well done Tom for qualifying
in the A Final, and although you only managed last place
,
Dave and I didn't mind being deposed to the B final ,
we'll just get you next week! |
 |
A couple of mentions though for
good drives this week - Sam Robinson in the D Final, put in
runs that wouldn't have looked out of place in the B Final,
and the same is true of Dan Mayes stuck in the C Final. Scott
Westbury also looked very quick, just got to string it all
together for 5 minutes!

Hey - guess what, I found some
smiley's to use!!
Spring
Series
Well, just one week to go now
in the championship, and it looks like John has got F1 wrapped
up from Dan, but it's going to be down to the last round for
third place with just two points between Rob and Nathan.
It looks like Charlie will take
the F2 win, but can Dan Mayes make up enough points in time
to take the win?
F3 looks to belong to John Guiver,
with Adam in second and Stephen in a secure 3rd.
We'll see how it all ends next
week!

| .........and
thus normality is returned to the Club, with John and Dan
now sharing top spot in the Championship!
We seem to be on a run of trying
out tracks that we haven't run for a while, and this week
we tried Track 17 again - and now I remember why it is we
haven't run it for a while - I must get hold of the track
file next week and hide the other less popular tracks as well!
That said, I have to concede
that there were a couple of really good runs from both Dan
Mayes and Charlie Ware, placing them both in the A Final,
and consigning F1 drivers into the B and C Finals. Just two
more weeks of the Championship to go, but that's still plenty
of time to get some extra points!

So this week it's Nathan's turn
to bask in the glory of Championship leader, after problem
runs for Dan and John! It was an interesting choice of track
tonight and not one that we've used much before, and it proved
to be something of an unforgiving track with quite a few casualties
as a result. I think this is one that we consign to the "do
not use" category in future!

OK - so this
week everyone has to "bask in the glory that is Dave",
at least that's what Dave says - but don't worry it will only
be for a week!
Yes, I'm talking about championship
positions and after eight rounds, Dave is in 1st place overall,
just a point above Nathan. Some great drives worth mentioning
as well though are Dan Mayes with a superb run tonight in
the A Final; Adam Burgess who's really starting to get the
hang of his car with a great run in the B Final; Stephen Williams
with two great runs in the C Final; and Luke Overson with
two clear wins in the D Final.

Nice to see that so many people
managed to turn up for this changed race night, and as the
"magic" number was reached, then this meeting will
count as two of the 16 rounds for the Championship - so here
are the results...

This weeks championship results
have been updated, and it's really starting to get a bit "interesting",
with one or two shocks as the driver abilities start to get
updated. One of note has to be Charlie Ware, with a couple
of great weeks, putting him up into the top 3!

Change
of Date!
We have been asked by the Judo
Club if we will let them have one of our Friday nights so
that they can run a competition over a weekend. We have agreed
to help, so we will instead race on the Wednesday evening
of that week. The important dates to remember then are:
No
Racing Friday 9th May
Racing
Instead Wednesday 7th May
We will probalby add an extra
week to the Championship to ensure this change of date doesn't
affect anyone's chance to complete enough good rounds.

Spring
Series 2008
A small change of plan has been
decided on regarding the start date, and we will now be starting
the Spring Series on Friday 25th April and running for eight
weeks until Friday 13th June - which gives everyone another
couple of weeks to get some practice in before we start!
