Great night of rally action at FRC, particularly as five stages were run instead of the regular three. It is always nice to see the appearance of a new car in competition and O'Brie's lovely MSC Ford RS200 was such a car. The car demonstrated its potential but unfortunately suffered some teething problems (literally !). My own Ninco Lancia 037 also made an appearance at the event but didn't take part in competition. Congrats to Ramesh on the victory.
Looking forward to the next event.

Hello Gordon and others,

I was also very surprised to observe after all these IROC events listed above ... that there are only 4 different winners.

These winners are:

• Luke B.
  Ramesh
  Gordon
  Steve

My main query here though ~ is when next do you think the NSS class will be raced ..?

Luke

Great information pulled together once again Luke. You should be a statistician.

I didn't realise that we had cancelled the last two NSS series of races. I feel that we can run them before their schedule next comes around. They'd be ideal as a special event or support class for any upcoming event where we have a good driver turnout.

Thanks Gordon and your (NSS racing) suggestion sounding great ...

For me, putting info together (as huge as it may seem) like this is a very easy and relaxing time.

I must tell you though ~ the part (I am having difficulty with) which needs much effort, concentration and skill ..!

Is analyzing the 4 names below to accomplish a racing victory getting my name on this list too.

FRC's IROC Winners:

• Luke B.
  Ramesh
  Gordon
  Steve

If you were to look over a few of these IROC reports and see how and where I placed ... It seems anytime I get pass any three names in points, the forth name is always in the way by one point. If not, it's something to that effect.

Guessing you will say that's racing for you (which I will agree too) and maybe I don't have that slot-car racing edge ~ The Eye of the Tiger ~ for a win lol

Sure you will remember this movie clip showing such inspiration
