1/24th Production Championship Round 4 - 5th July 2007

Our Club 1/24 racing usually ends up more like stock car racing but this week was an exception with just 15 drivers turning up for some good, close racing for Round 4 of this year's Production Championship.

There were no real surprises in qualifying with Jody TQ'ing ahead of Ian B, Stuart and Chris C. Behind them, the next half dozen or so drivers were very close and the four Finals promised some good racing.

In an attempt to stop Members disappearing before the end of racing and leaving us with no marshalls, the order of running the finals was reversed - the A and B finalists are normally the ones who do stay until the end!

The 'A' Final was a very good race with Stuart coming good on his favourite Yellow lane to win a lap ahead of Jody who was only 5 parts ahead of Ian B at the finish with Chris C following on behind.

In the 'B' Final, Roland saved his best time for last and easily won from Ian K, who had a good dice to finish just 8 parts ahead of 'Team Animal' team-mate Simon J who was comfortably clear of 4th place man Bill.

Young Michael did his usual disappearing trick in the 'C' Final which left Chris B an easy win ahead of Terry and Chris M.

The 3 man 'D' Final saw our newest member Stephen set his best time (with a borrowed car) to win a well spread out race from Simon WT and Robin.

Chris, could you confirm the 1/24th body rule please as i belived it to be any 1/24th sports body.

Our Club 1/24 Production rules are for any shell on the current BSCRA Open Gp12 Approved List.

The democratic decision of the 2004 AGM was simply for Sports shells but this was thought to be too broad and was ammended with the aim of keeping certain dubious (but legal) shells out.

Did it work?
