kalbfellp Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I finally had time to unpack the cars,clean the tyres and braids and give them a 4 lap shake down yesterday. This is the track for the final round,May Park. I seem to have inherited his track from The Stig, This round will consist of two stages one in either direction. Stage 1 will be 17 laps in the opposite direction to the way Dave,s car is facing. Here is the current leader about to head off on the 4 lap shake down run. Times for the 4 lap test session. This session was to simply check all the cars and ensure the track had plenty of eurethane down on the surface. Two cars have some diff problems,Kia,s and Teamred both have shot crown gears. I tried to repair both but I cannot get the wheels off either car so have added a spacer to reduce the rear axle movement, after some lube and running in I thing both will be O.K for the two stages. Branco,s motor is only just going BUT flush out with shellite seemed to improve it. Hope to complete Stage one late today.

Ember Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Blindingly fast shakedown from Ben's car. Don't you just love the Miveson blind optimism? Hope all goes well Phil. Quote Computers.

teamredracing Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Geez Mark havent you gone to bed yet . Thanks Phil for keeping my car going. Another reason for not running back to back proxies without changing everything. This should make Alexis happy from not being on the bottom . Lets see what happens in the first stage ,I could get lucky and finish ahead of him .

kalbfellp Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Well most the family was here yesterday afternoon so I filled in the afternoon and evening for the Grand kids marshaling and helping with stage 1. They were very pleased that their car was leading at around the half way point. They did go down the order a bit after that but were pleased to finish ahead of my Celica and also Tom and Cam. Devious Dave,s car actually managed to fall off! I think this is about the difference between his car and Lennys, Bens car did not seem as fast BUT finished well,suiting this direction on the track. The bottom 4 cars really suffered in the grip department. Now looking forward to Stage 2 later this week when I can get some marshals again. I was hoping that Boss302 would have his Hillclimb fully running for one stage BUT still a week or so away. But here are a couple of teaser pics of Bat Florio. This hillclimb was built buy another guy who has been involved in racing since the sixties and needed room for his trains so gave Bruce the track and he has reconfigured it to fit his space and make it a continuous lap.

Hopefully my car can be just as quick in the opposite direction, the SP Tools car will be retired from proxies after this event. Thant hill climb looks good!

Ember Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 The SillyCar doesn't seem to like Tasi this year. Oh well. Don't think it'll pull back the 2 point lead Mike has on me.

kalbfellp Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Stage two and the final Stage for the event was completed this afternoon. Lenny managed to finish ahead of the ever smooth and reliable Devious. Third place was a bit of surprise as this car did not seem to be fast but just circulated for the 24 laps with no drama,well done Branco. So the final podium places for this round are Lenny,Devious and BenM. I manged to get cleaned up by the Grand kids with a cheap Open Slot car. More later.

miveson Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 And the final series results: A tie for 2nd place!!!!! Not sure what the results are but Lenny looks to have it based on last round finishing order. Quote Slot Car Photos V8 Tipping Competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalbfellp Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Mark were you sitting at the PC waiting for the results? Very close results,Lenny would have to get second with 3 wins. Also group of 3 old farts on 173 points! LOL Quote Phil https://www.hobartminiaturecarclub.com/ Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I don't think I like Tasi anymore. Oh well. Thanks for the round Phil and helpers. Congrats for the podium Lenny and Dave and Branco. Congrats on the overall win Dave. Obviously an awesome car. Made the top half this season. That'll do for now. Leaves top 10 to aim at for the next one. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

Stubbo Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Congratulations to Lenny, Dave and Ben on the stage results. And congratulations to Dave, Lenny and Matt on the series results. There were some really close finishes right down the list. Thanks Phil for the round and to all the other hosts and helpers throughout the event. This is one of the most enjoyable proxies and I look forward to the next series. Quote Alan Stubbings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesx Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Congratulations to Lenny, Dave and Ben on the stage results AND even more so to Dave, Lenny and Matt on the series results. Dave you had a fairly clear lead going into the last round but many of the other positions remained in doubt right up to the end. Thanks Phil for the last round and to all the other hosts and helpers throughout the series. Could not have been run more eficiently. Also all my fellow competitors thanks for such a great competiton. Special congrats too to Branco for such a great finish. Perhaps next year us Kiwis will be able to give the Aussies an even better fight. All the best to all and hope to see you again next year.
