Three classes were run, Stock Sidewinder, Slot.It Challenge and Historic Saloon and because of the number of participants, each heat and final was run as a 50-lap semi-endurance, putting a lot of pressure on drivers to be doing consistent fast laps without de-slotting. We also saw a special race run for newcomers which featured TTASA Competition Chairman Nizam Mohammed, Barbados Suzuki Swift champion Ryan Peryau's son Sebastien, TTASA's race starter Imran Sulaman and one other, with young Sebastian taking his first victory in his first ever slot car race! Father Ryan also managed to get fastest lap and pole position in the Stock Sidewinder class against more seasoned drivers.
Aside from the races themselves, there was food and drink aplenty and Tony did his wonderful magic with the BBQ chicken which was enjoyed by all. Thanks to Ramesh, Arden and all who participated for making this a great evening. Here are a few pics of the event:
