Thanks for another great days racing in Navan where we saw electric & nitro fight it out in the A Final. Barkley Abernethy managed to hold the lead from his pole position and never looked like he was going to give it up. Again it proves that prep & practice do pay off and that there is nothing better than a good pit woman.
Jakub Wawrzacz set a very impressive time to finish second ahead of the two electrics of Conor Reilly and Ian Ian Hunter who pushed their battery packs to the limit in the 20 minute final.
Overall a great day in Navan with mostly dry sunny conditions but with a few misty showers dropping in just to test the tyre choices.
New track layout was hailed a huge success making for a really nice flowing track with sub 40 second laps now well within reach. Thanks to all the inputs that allowed us to fine tune the recent new layout and a special thanks to Francis McGoey who pulled out all the stops (and a few pegs) yesterday to provide today’s new driving experience.
That ends Navan’s club calendar but dont forget Navan hosts the next 2013 1:8 Scale Off-Road National Round in two weeks time on the 7th & 8th September so see you all then.
During lunch break we got any young drivers on the track to test their skills with a Traxxas Slash short course truck which is perfect for anyone wanting to get on the track and have some off-road fun.
I want to thank all the drivers who took part in the Winters, Summers and Open days (over 50 drivers in total raced or visited during the two championships) – would be nice to see all of them here again at Round 1 of the 2013-14 Winters (who knows but I will be inviting you all) ..
