DRCCC Race Report - Race Day 5 Season 1 - Points Event - Updated

This was set to be hummer of a day with the sun up high and the rostrum full. There was plenty of activity around which was due to 35 racers entering 44 cars and the fact that the last race day was cancelled, everybody was itchy for some racing action.

After a very good blow and some sweeping and a double dose of sugar, the day was set.

There was some very tight racing in the qualies with the newbies keeping some of the ol'ballies in check. Also with the introduction of a reduced capacity cell rating in the tt class, it was very tight with position changes galore.

What a bumper filled day, with plenty of action all round and some pretty close racing down the order. Well done to those taking the podium places, those points were well earned. Thanks to all who assisted on the day with track prep and to all the volunteer marshals who helped out for the smaller heats, without you guys it wouldn't have been such a brilliant day for all.

CU next time.

when did TT01 races start that counted toward points,after/before the 1800 maH Rule or partly with all sorts of batteries

They started from race day 2. We as a club follow the sarda rules as a guide, and one of their rules are that if there is a new ruling passed by the members, you must give 60 days notice to the members before it can be implimented, hence the season started with a 3700mah limit whose races counted for points. If you feel it's unfair, you may lodge a written protest with either myself or Ray along with a R200 protest fee. We will then investigate the matter in depth and make a ruling.

I hope this answers your question.

relax sam,I just asked when,take a nice cold brown bottle and cool down,

I just go with the flow and let some-one else ask questions in the future?

Wasn't intended that way, just stating the facts.

sam,I have plenty brown bottles,just relax,but while u do so,what was the date then????

I thought you stopped asking questions already?lol
Second race day was 1 Feb. Oh yes, I use green bottles not brown.
