Minis and my rally cars ready for Thursday

Post by gordon »

Well I worked on my two rally cars in preparation for this week's racing. Hopefully their lap times will drop sufficiently to be a real threat to the status quo :D

I also opened and did the following on each Mini for the Mini Challenge races we'll be doing:
  • Checked downforce. All cars were still very closely matched so needed no changes here.
  • Cleaned tyres.
  • Lubed motor shafts and rear axles.
  • Cleaned braids.
  • Washed bodies (they were very dusty).
Hopefully they'll all perform similarly and we'll have some very close races on Thursday. Here they are, ready to go:

GG,

That's pleasantly done and with the new FRC list "modus operandi" method of operations ...
  • • FRC - Thursday (night) Racing Events ... to be done every other week.
    • Drivers - Annual Championship Points ... not being recorded.
    • FRC - Saturday (afternoon/evening) Racing Events ... to be randomly organized.
    • Drivers - Fastest Qualifying Lap Times ... still being recorded.
We've got to enjoy these events/classes (once every 6-8 weeks depending) more so now because they're going to take much longer (now every 12 -14 weeks depending) to come back around.

So for what its worth - Thank you for MC class maintenance and with RC class best of luck :)
