| End
of another Year......
Well, that's it for another
year of racing at KMCC. It's been a good year for the Club,
with a steady stream of members racing each week. We've seen
a number of new members during the year, and I hope you've
all enjoyed your first year of racing. We've also said goodbye
to one or two drivers and had a couple of drivers return to
racing after a while away.
It's been a mixed year for me,
I feel that I've improved a bit at the Club and whether that's
down to a new car, or just me getting better from practice
I'm not sure. But I had a disappointing run in the STCC, which
I've put down to a combination of inexperience outdoors and
some bad luck with a ton of "interference" problems
at some of the tracks.
If you've got any reflections,
or stories from the year that you would like to share, why
not drop me a line at the email address at the bottom of the
page, or start a thread on our Club Forum at RC RaceChat?

Year.

5 rounds!

Liam Snaith |

Once again this year, we decided
to award a "Most Improved Junior" trophy, which
is a way of recognising the hard work and perseverance that
our younger drivers bring to the Club. Once again, it was
a difficult choice, however on balance we decided that the
award should go to Liam Snaith - so well done!
Congratulations to everyone who
took part in the championship - we hope you enjoyed it.

| Autumn
2006 Championship Series
Well, 5 rounds into the Championship
now, and already we have an overall winner! With 5 straight
wins and a maximum of 505 points, John Fillingham can't be
beaten. So, what about the runners up?
F1, has Dan and Elliott fighting
for 2nd place at the moment, with Stuart still in with a shout
of a top 3 place.
F2, Tom Marchant and Simon Phillips
are now neck and neck for 1st position with Kevin flying up
into 3rd place.
F3, with still quite a few drivers
to complete the 5 rounds, Neil has the overall lead, but he's
going to have to watch Andrew who is closing quickly and with
Peter, Liam and Charlie all challenging for 3rd, it's going
to be close!

| After 3 rounds
of the Autumn Championship, John Fillingham has run a clean
sweep to get maximum points - can anyone catch him? Well after
tonight's racing, it's clear that Dan and Elliott are not
just going to sit back and let John run on unchallenged, but
it's going to take both a combination of skill and a lack
of bad luck out on the track!
In Formula 2, Tom Marchant is
looking comfortable at the moment, but it's not going to take
much for any of the F2 drivers to up their form a bit and
really challenge him.
In F3, Neil Overson has a comfortable
lead at the moment, but there are a few drivers who are clearly
going to be chasing him hard over the coming weeks.
With 5 rounds to go there's still
plenty of time for positions to change!

Autumn
2006 Championship Series
Don't forget, the Championship
Series starts next Friday - so now's a good time to get back
into racing if you haven't been for a while.
Personal Transponders
Most of the regular racers at
the Club now use Personal Transponders (PT's), which means
you can check your lap times from the practice session, but
most importantly, you don't have to worry about collecting
and fitting a hand out before each race! Unfortunatley they
are not cheap items of electronics, costing £60 each
if bought direct from the UK
supplier. However, as a Club, we are willing to buy them
in "bulk" and pass on that discount to our members,
so we will sell them onto you at £55 each.
We have also have some servo
"Y" leads for anyone who doesn't have a 3rd channel
or BEC socket to plug the transponder into. We are selling
these for £4 each to Club members.
At the moment, we only have one
PT left, which is on "hold" for one of our drivers,
but if you are interested in owning one of these, see Colin
and we will buy some more. If it helps, then you can pay by
installments, so how about it - maybe an early Christmas present? |

| Oh well, call
it a one hit wonder, or a flash in the pan, but I couldn't
even get into the A Final this week, let alone onto pole,
and I can't even blame anyone else! Still I musn't grumble,
with a pole in the B Final, which I managed to convert to
an overall win I'm still very pleased.

It was nice to see a few faces
who haven't been around for a while back at the Club tonight.
Clearly, some drivers have been off doing various outdoor
racing championships during the summer. Congratulations must
go the Elliott Harper for winning the Under
14's BRCA Juniors at Ashby in August, as well as him winning
the 2006
BRCA Touring Car Champs in 19T F2 class. A special mention
must also go to Charlie Ware for his 2nd place in the B Final
of the Under 12's BRCA Juniors, coming a close 2nd to one
of our old Club members, Robert Hodgson.
Even though Autumn is now well
on the way, there is still some outdoor racing going on, and
a few of us will be going to the final round of the STCC
at Ipswich next weekend - weather permitting!
Autumn
2006 Championship Series
Talking of taking part in Championships,
a few people have been asking when the Autumn series is going
to start, so here you go, it will start on Friday 13th October,
running for 8 weeks until Friday 1st December. Best 5 results
will count towards your final score, so you can drop your
worst 3 runs, or miss 3 weeks!
It doesn’t matter if you
can’t complete the 5 rounds, everyone can still come
and race. Even though the Championship is running, race nights
are still just the same as a normal Friday meeting, it's only
the points scored that are different.
At the end of the series, there
will be winners for each of F1, F2 and F3 - so everyone has
the chance of a trophy.
Formula’s
We will be using the formula’s
which were reviewes after the end of Spring Championship -
check out the link below to see who's where:
Club
formula's >>
The Championship is a good opportunity
to show how well your driving has improved during the year,
and everyone's "ability" levels will be re-assessed
during the series which may influence where you start in the
qualifying heats on a Friday. It will also be an opportunity
to move up a formula if you do well enough!
Don't forget, altough the Championship
is intended to generate a bit of competition within the Club,
we still want racing to be a fun activity, so don't take it
too seriously when someone half you age (or less in my case)
makes you look like you're driving backwards! |
| 22nd
September 2006 |
| Well, it's not
often that I get a chance to "applaud" myself, but
I must admit that qualifying on pole in the A Final for the
first time ever does allow me to crow just a little - even
if it was a week were most of the top drivers were off doing
other things! Unfortunately, I couldn't convert it into a
win, and Rob managed to shove past me and stay ahead twice
(I'm not bitter - honest!!!! )
It was also great to see Neil
and Tom qualify in the A Final - a 1st for Neil, shame Tom
broke his diff - again!
Both legs of the B Final were
exciting as well, with Simon, Liam and Andrew all so close
that the smallest of mistakes counted. In the end, Simon managed
to finish ahead in both legs to take the overall win. In the
C Final, Stephen took the first leg win fairly easily when
Paul pulled out with problems, and in a close second leg,
Paul took the win, but it didn't stop Stephen taking the overall
win.
Well done to everyone for a great
night's racing and thanks for all helping to pack away - it
is appreciated.

Even though the
numbers might be slightly lower than usual at the moment,
it doesn't stop there being some very close and exciting racing.
In particular, the A final over the past couple of weeks has
seen Rob Oliver now challenging hard with his new X-Ray and
winning both legs on the 8th - which must be a first for him.
John is starting to get to grips now with his new Yokomo,
and this week he ran off with the wins again.
In the lower finals, there is
plenty of competition, with everyone trying hard to reach
the B final, and a few trying too hard! You have to keep the
car together to win - you know who I mean (Tom)!

With John and Dan missing and

| It's always entertaining
to watch drivers go "head to head" no matter what
ability level, but this week saw some amazing racing between
John and Dan in the 2nd leg of the A final (even though Dan
forgot to put in his transponder - Doh!). I always find it
incredible that you can get so close but still manage not
to hit the car in-front - it just shows what you can achieve
when you reach that level of car control.

"Formula" Update
We would normally only change
the formula gradings at the end of the year, but as there
have been a number of new drivers join the Club and others
leave, the F2 group is looking a bit diminished. Therefore,
the top three drivers from F3 will be boosted up to F2 now
and we will review the gradings again at the end of the year,
after the Autumn Series.
Changes to gradings are:
| Colin
Williams |

|
From F2 to F1 |
| Tom Marchant |
 |
From F3 to F2 |
| Chris Mariani |

| Spring
2006 Championship Series
Six rounds into the eight round
series now, and you can start to see who are the contendors
for the lead, as a number of drivers have now completed the
minimum 5 rounds to count.
F1 is of course being led by
the "usual suspects" of John and Dan, with Nathan
in third, with Elliott languishing low in the table as he
hasn't got 5 weeks in yet.
F2 is a bit under subscribed
in this series, and only two drivers have completed 5 rounds
so far, with Colin and Simon Williams in 1st and 2nd, although
there's still time for Daniel Mayes, Kevin Howard, Simon Philips
and Sam Hunt to make a last minute run.
F3 is probably the most closely
contested formula, with Tom Marchant and Chris Mariani only
2 points apart and Peter Jeeves, Stuart Ward and Charlie Ware
still in contention. There is also Neil Overson and Paul Kirkup
to consider as they have been putting in some good runs as
well!
The next two weeks should prove
to be quite exciting as the series draws to a close....

| Oh,
what a night........
......no, not the Frankie Valli
song, but the epic disaster I suffered tonight! After being
"T-boned" in the 1st round of qualifying to destroy
my servo case and then a battery bar snapping off in round
2, it meant I qualified 3rd in the D-final! Still, that's
racing for you, and it wasn't just me - Stuart Ward also qualified
in the D-Final, so we made a nuisance of ourselves to the
other drivers as we tried to weave our way through other lapped
cars!
One good thing about racing is
that there's always next week!

As you can see, we are lagging
behind a bit, mainly because we only had 6 drivers and need
at least eight in order to be even slightly competitive. So,
if anyone is interested in having a bit of outdoor fun during
the Summer, check out the MK , or the Bedworth website for
more details. The Bedworth track is less than an hours drive
away and is a good track to race on, even if you haven't raced

and there will be "Easter Egg" prizes up for grabs.
Don't worry - it won't affect

Spring
2006 Championship Series
Just an early reminder, that
the Spring 2006 Club Championship will start on Friday 31st
March, running for 8 weeks until Friday 26th May. Best 5 results
will count towards your final score, so you can drop your
worst 3 runs, or miss 3 weeks!
The format of racing will be
the same as every Friday, with 2 x 3 minute qualifiers and
2 x 5 minute finals - the aggregate of which will determine
your points for that week.
It doesn’t matter if you
can’t complete the 5 rounds, everyone can still come
and race – even though the Championship is running,
race nights are still open to everyone and you’ll always
be racing in your normal heat because we still want the evening
to be fun.
Just as for normal Friday meetings,
standard Club rules apply - stock motors only and treaded
rubber tyres. All cars should run a minimum ride height (including
the shell) of 5mm to try and avoid damaging the carpet. Cars
may be scrutineered during the series, just to check everyone
is playing fair!
Formula’s
We will be using the formula’s
which were decided after the end of 2005 Championships - check
out the link below to see who's where:
Club
formula's >>
At the end of the series, there
will be winners for each of F1, F2 and F3 - so everyone has
the chance of a trophy.
Races will still be sorted based
on your “ability” as we normally do and your ability
will be automatically updated during the series based on your
performance – so this is your chance to change which
qualifiers you usually run in on a Friday!
Personal
Transponders
We still have a couple of PT’s
for sale at £55 each if you want to stop having the
hassle of collecting a handout transponder from Race Control
each time you run!
See Colin if you are interested. |

| Tonight's track
was one of the slower ones, requiring full concentration to
avoid getting "snagged" on the corners, but there
was still some very close racing!

| I do think track
15 must be one of my favourites, fast in places with a nice
flowing in-field. It certainly gave some very close racing,
with one of the best being the 2nd leg of the C finals. Check

| A slightly different

chicane just before the back straight! There was still plenty
of quick laps though and plenty of close racing - check out

| Great night's
racing tonight - even though "I was robbed" in the
finals! Track 12 is definately one of my favourites - nice
and flowing, but you still have to be careful on some of the
corners.

Christmas and are now looking forward to a new year of racing
