Superb Photos of FRC's IROC Classes ..!

Post by Luke »

I started this project (info history) a few weeks ago ... with these classes raced (over time) at FRC 8-)

FRC IROC Events (RR63 to RR233) was first kicked off - January 2011 to May 2017 ... and Returned May 2022 / RR297 ...

A collection of photos (which were already posted individually) during their respective time frame by Gordon ... & now, all in One Place ;)

Here are pics of the different IROC classes (plus amount of events) in their relevant order:

Also, for the record: The Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange & (painted) Purple models - were all chosen to indicate / represent the Lane Color on the Scalextric RMS Lap Counting/Timing screen 8-)

On a closing note - all these slot-cars (again I mention) carried a great amount of Racing Competition & Entertainment through out the years :)

Glad you like Gordon and it's always a winning feeling when putting these sort of statistics together :)

As noteworthy as they may be ...

What's really amazing with - is the amount of proceedings (on your part) it took/take getting all these different race days done 8-)

Here's the link ... https://www.frcforum.com/viewtop ... f=7&t=1474 ... to ALL Racing Days & IROC Classes combined so far :D

The IROC Classes were so THRILLING to compete in - that it had (as much as) 6 equal driver's Tie results :!:

Checkout the (third post) listing above this one - with the racer's names ...

The Classes were 3 PC & 3 MC ... you will also notice more than 2 drivers (3 in a TIE) at times :D

Here's a GR8 pic representing one of the many exciting 17 Mini Challenge Events:

The carrying-out of FRC's 90 IROC events ...

Here are the 6 racers who WON (outright / solo victories) at more than 1 event :)
  • Gordon - 23
  • Luke B - 17
  • Steve - 13 + 2 ... after 5 years of NO events.
  • Ramesh - 8
  • Luke - 6
  • Alex - 3
Interestingly & strange enough - the same 6 racers TIE in 6 other events (all the same Nicholas E. just squeezed in the bunch ...) and here's how the names looked ...
  • Ramesh & Gordon
    Steve & Gordon
    Steve & Ramesh
    Luke B. & Luke
    Nicholas E. & Gordon
    Steve, Gordon & Alex
Here are the other 4 racing persons who WON (outright) individual victories ...
  • Nicholas E.
    Kyle
    Peter
    David (Boo)
:arrow: I didn't include the 1 Mixed-GT & 7 Ferrari Team Winners, however names can be viewed the 4th post up 8-)

Note: The 4 groupings above of figures (70 + 2, 6, 4 & 8) equals the 90 count ;)
