Sounds like a fun one.
Are you running 'stock' Scalextric or a variety of classes?

Looking forward to seeing the results - hope it's a fun event.

What format will you be using - timed sessions with lane rotations? I prefer lap length sessions, that way just like in most real races you can't win if you don't cross the finish line first for the final lap. Some of us may remember a certain #3 car cutting down a tire on the final lap and losing the 500. In a timed race a car could have a big enough lead to be sidelined at the end of the race and still win with the most laps and segments. Also, do you have a way to keep things close - like a 'Lucky Dog' provision that allows a car (or cars) to get a lap back at the end of a session?

Buggity buggity buggity!

Great looking track and judging by the score card, you had much closer racing than Nascar has.


You guys look like real racers!!

Thanks for posting results and lots of pictures. Wish I could have been there - mostly for the racing but also amazing to see green out back through the window when I have 4 feet of snow in my yard.
