Our 131st (and my 60th birthday) event was an exciting affair. Nine drivers competed and sixteen races were run, six for our Mini Challenge class and five each for Restricted GT and Slot.It Challenge. We continued the single-car qualifying which we had reverted to a couple of events ago and three drivers were caught without a time because of de-slotting on the first timed lap - me in MC, Neverson in RGT and Luke in SC. Because of the relatively large turnout of drivers this meant that each of us missed out on the first race in the respective class.
FRC's IROC Mini Challenge probably featured the most challenging and competitive races, as everyone would theoretically get to drive each car. Despite this, some drivers shone more than others, doing a better job of meeting the difficult challenge of keeping the Minis in the slot under intense competition. RGT saw some more really fast cars from the team Bhola garage, but it was no walkover, as competition in the races was ever-present and incidents played their part. SC was also competitive, although the five race wins were shared between just two drivers. In the end it was a close call determining the class winner.
New Lap Records
We had three new records, one for each class raced!
- MC - 8.822 sec (Steve, Scalextric BMW Mini)
- RGT - 5.378 sec (Luke B., Scalextric Porsche 911 GT1)

Congratulations to the winners.
