18th Scalextric Club (27th November 2012)
Classic and Can-Am cars roared around the 6-lane track at the London Scalextric Club this evening.
We had 3 minutes per race as we were only using 5 of the 6 lanes.
I borrowed a short Gulf Can-Am from Steve the chairman.

Finals!
We had the mid-way break and the committee worked out the running order and lane choices for the club’s mini tournament format, which they call ‘Finals’.
It’s a knockout competition where only 1st and 2nd go through to the next round.
I didn’t record my performance data as the format moves between races very quickly.
Managed to reach the 2nd but just off the pace. Kept slipping off the controller as it was so cold! That secured me last place.
