Numbers where slightly down 30ish racers so not too bad. The track used was the one with two diagnal straights . Very fast track. There were a couple of new faces so welcome to the club guys. Matt Rhodes has photoed the results to try and post up If he can.

Looked like a good night, I was late back from work so missed the start but looked like some good racing, the round times where pretty close last night,
I saw a couple in heat 2 get good laps and could of possibly made the A final definately challenging top of the B.
The A final looked a little scrappy from the side line, but I think next meeting should be a good one especially if the guys who were missing turn up.
Just need somewhere to practice between then and now as I cant seem to find anywhere thats racing this weekend, so that leaves Broxtowe (if the weathers good) or Don Valley friday or Stocksbridge next sunday I guess.

Hi Guys,
Friday was my first meeting at the club, having just moved to the area from Aberdeen. Thanks to everyone who made me feel welcome. Although I'll not make the next few meetings due to working away, I plan to race as often as possible at the club.
Despite being in heat 1, I was pretty happy to make the A-final and had some good racing with a few guys until my motor overheated!
Thanks again,
Marc

best race meeting ever for me, 3rd in the A final.
been struggling with my neutral cable getting ridiculously hot, going into the battery and de-soldering itself, thought i' cracked it by changing the motor, didn't work, then on a wim i decided to change the capacitor, bingo, solved the issue, so despite starting badly in the first 2 heats, i soon picked up after that and qualified 10th in the A.
no pressure to really perform when your down at the back, so i ran my own race, stayed out of trouble. and to my suprise came in 3rd.
couple of people said it was a fluke result. but during the race i did what i needed to do to secure 3rd. encouraging for me anyway

Hey Grahamo, ;D
I personally wouldnt worry about anyone saying it was a fluke, you got yourself in the A final and then you did a good job when you got there. I personally say well done to you mate thats a great drive!!
Where you racing this weekend Grahamo? Or anyone else for that matter, looking at racing this week, maybe Don valley or possibly stocksbridge anyone else think of any alternatives?

Think a few of us are going to stocksbridge this Sunday Graham if you fancy it? I didn't realise there was an outdoor track at broxtowe will have to give it a go another week if the weather gets better.
