The date for the next meeting is now confirmed for Saturday 11th February 2012. Time; 16:00hrs. As previously advised the theme for this event will be |
Another incredibly successful meeting. Lap Record was broken twice. Current Lap Record holder is once again Brett, who not to be defeated, in a superb last minute attempt clocked an incredible 5.493 with his McLaren F1 GT, just beating the previous record held by Bryan by 0.079 of a second . Paul arrived with his new Digital layout that he had somehow managed to stuff into the pannier bag on his ...................... This was quickly set up and it really is quite a realistic form of slot car racing. On a 4 x lane layout it's possible to run up to 16 cars in the same race, 4 x cars per lane, all independently contorolled, and having brief overtaking sections of track. More about Lap Records. Paul suggested that we should clarify records a little more and record date, time, which lane, car, and Class/Category details. This would give each lane it's own record and details of the car that holds that record. It's been proved before that some lanes are marginally faster than others mainly due to tightness of corners. Food and drink was plentiful as usual with thanks going to the MSC Master Chef Beryl.To view a few images of the meeting, just click the ROGUES Link in the box above. |

Welcome to
Malabar Slot Cars. This venture has now been up and running for 12 months
and has proved to be a great success. The circuit is 4 x lanes and app
20 meters in length. Meetings are currently held at weekends, usually
once a month. |
|
There are
around twenty regular competitors and we try to restrict the cars to British
or European manufacture with a Racing or Motor Sport history. There was
also a cut off date of 1974 for competing cars but this has been relaxed
a little as some WRC cars have been appearing. |
|
There are definitely
no Australian Touring Cars permitted to run and we try to keep the atmosphere
in a Historic vain. |
|
We are in the process of installing some excellent track lighting with the intention of having some longer than usual night races. Mini Le Mans................. perhaps? The lighting was imported from a Company in Barcelona and they do a wide range of illuminated signs, etc. all beautifully crafted but not cheap.If you would like to view their website...go to LINKS or Click-ART-KITSLOT |
