RACE REPORT #225 - January 19th 2017 (MGT, MP, RGT)
A great season opener for 2017 saw eleven guys turn up of which eight took part in the on-track competition. Because of time constraints the Mixed GT cars were never raced but there was a lot of action amongst the eight drivers in Modified Production (MP) and Restricted GT (RGT).
Instead of breaking the classes in the the old A and B format, we ran heats where qualifiers 1, 3, 5 and 7 raced in three heat 1 races and qualifiers 2, 4, 6 and 8 raced in three heat 2 races. We then ran a single final in MP for the highest placed six drivers in the heats and did the same for RGT, except that we ran three final races for a total of ten action-filled races for the night.

Congratulations to the winners and a big thank you to Anthony, Keith and Alex for the help marshalling.
Next event's classes: Class grouping B - Historic Saloon (3 races), American Pony Car (3 races), Vintage Sports '60-'75 (3 races).
As usual, don't forget to see the updated fastest times for the FRC classes to know what the benchmarks are for your cars, the updated class average qualifying times and the updated fastest times for 2017.
See you on the circuit...
