356speedster Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) First I'd like to thank everyone involved in the series. A big thanks goes to the entrants that tuned and sent away their beloved little cars. The hosts that took an a massive amount of work to gather drivers, prepare their tracks, run the marathon events, and great race reports with fantastic pictures, car feedback, video's and even live video coverage. The supporters of the series, SCX Spain/USA and their distributors in UK and AUS for providing ad material to hosts, allowing us to run under the SCX logo, price cars and support to hosts, and not to forget for making these fun little cars I'd like to personally thank Dave Kennedy of SCXWorldWide and Charles "Chuck" Ehredt of SCX USA for their support and postive attitude from my first approach to them with my "little idea" of a brand specific proxy series. I also want to mention Malcom Scotto and Gareth Jex of Wolverhampton Scalextric & Slot Car Club that took the UK event up to a full blown club weekend. The "crazy Dane" Lars Ole Riis for making fantastic video's. Gary Blayney for taking care of arranging the Australian events. John Schoen for keeping track of the scores in my absence, and Monte Saager/Craig Murray for introducing us to live video reporting. The bottom line is that you are all great guys. It's been a long ride that started in February 2009 and lasted almost 1 1/2 year! We have had some up's and down during the series, but when looking back it's been a fantastic experience and very fun to see how the SCX cars have performed on a wide variety of tracks all over the world. We had some shipping problems (Canada - Australia by boat) that extended the series by several months and also contributed to the canceling of the last event. But despite all the work to pull the series off I feel the result is pretty awesome with 29 cars in 3 different classes competing through 3-6 stages at each event over 13 events in 9 different countries on 3 continents! Before getting too sentimental, let's look at the final standings: TOTAL SERIES POINTS FINAL STANDING IN EACH CLASS Congratulations to the class winners! I'm currently working on returning the last cars to their owners, getting an overview of the prizes, looking over the financial situation of the series and considering how to organize a new season. I'll update this thread with new info over the next couple days. If you have comments/thoughts about the completed series please feel free to share them with us here in this thread.

gazza Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Thanks Tore Looking forward to seeing how the next one starts up ..... class wise that is Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamredracing Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks Tore for the update. It was by no means the longest Proxy I'v had to the pleasure to be associated with. I was now wondering if we had the chance ,we should have entered it as the longest rallying motor race in history and got hold of the Guinness book of records people . Overall it was run ,won and had fun. Lessons learnt by all. Only dissappointment was not being able to knock off Mr Schoen in the last round over your way and also not having Anthonys car in the first 3 round which IMO may have changed the top end . Thems the brakes. Looking forward to the next one . Unfortunatley Germany still has my You tube vid as a non starter still .Next one will be a silent black and white so not to copyright anyone .

silver rocket Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I really enjoyed following this series well done Torre, no mean feat I can imagine.... I'd def be keen to compete again with a few small changes to the format (ie no ferraris just real rally cars etc) but I think from what I have read you guys are onto it anyway... I look forward to seeing another series... Quote I Miss Brocky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Schoen Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Only dissappointment was not being able to knock off Mr Schoen in the last round over your way Maybe it's better this way, with your hope still intact. My RS200 will probably be back for the next CRP, with a less powerfull motor in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My RS200 will probably be back for the next CRP, with a less powerfull motor in it. My hope is still intact ,but the question will be asked for years to come. Handing it down through generation to generation. What if ?????. One of the greatest mysteries never to be solved.

356speedster Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 A quick info on 2009 prizes I have an overview of the prizes for the 2009 season. There will be one new SCX car for each of the top 3 finishers in each of the 3 classes, plus a few other prizes. All the entrants will also receive a "thank you card" with a list of all the events and a picture of their car, like in this example: The prize cars will all be from the SCX Classics range, but the shipment from Barcelona won't arrive until next week, so I will wait until then before I reveal who won what etc... Have fun Tore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
