Hi, is it Club Cars this Thursday and Production the week after? I've not raced for a while, I will probably come up and join you.
Coulsdon 30th March 2023.
Well the lighter evenings are finally back with us, and we welcomed 15 drivers for tonight’s Sports Event. This always brings out the fastest cars to compete with 1 min qualifying runs followed by 4 x 3min segmented finals for each driver.
Unsurprisingly, it was Dave Stevenson who topped the list with Mike Read, Les May and Geoff King closely following.
In the segmented finals fortunes were mixed with Geoff King who had returned a creditable qualification run suffering a mechanical breakdown in the final run of his segmented final. John King (no relation) however drove an inspired series of runs to finish 3rd overall. Overall victory went to Dave Stevenson with a margin of 7 laps over his nearest competitor Les May. Dave also took fastest lap of the evening on every lane.
Another month done so next week its back to club cars on April 6th.

16 drivers booked in for Saloons this week, 1 min qualifying runs followed by segmented finals.
We were pleased to welcome Mark Steventon back to racing after an extended break, proof once again that when the bug bites it never really lets go! We soon had him on the track with a loan car and controller courtesy of Garry “Brushless” King. Some of you may be thinking that Garry has been seduced by the dark side, but I can assure you that his latest nickname has nothing to do with the type of motor he is running!
At the end of qualifying it was Dave Stevenson on top followed by Les May, Mike Read and Garry King with just 0.054 secs between 1st and 4th spots.
The lower finals went pretty much to expectation but the A final turned out to be a real battle with a charging Dave Stevenson leaving it just a touch too late. Victory went to Garry King with 4 excellent runs winning 3 out 4 segments beating 31 laps on every run.
Fastest laps on Red and White fell to Garry with 5.501 & 5.455 with Les May taking Yellow on 5.455 and Mike Read taking Blue lane on 5.452secs.
