Great racemeet Friday night with 11 on hand to take on Lexan GT3 for the first time and also Round 5 of the Slotworx V8's. Lexan GT3 started the night and qualifying was ultra fast with several cars well under 7 sec with the best being a 7.4
. Being there first ever round we did expect a few issues but surprisingly the heats were fantastic with some epic battles in both groups. the C and B finals were good too with Dan doing an epic job racing my personal race Slotworx Porsche up against a field of quick Plafit SLP2's and won the B-Final
. Unfortunately the A-Final which started out good went a bit pear shaped with car failures for Dan at lap 22 with stopping counting laps, Steve at 24 with a car issue and John on lap 37 who destroyed a carbon fibre guide tongue in an unfortunate incident. In the end that left Stephen the honor of taking the first win in Lexan GT3 at NBS then followed by Ryan in 2nd who had that Lambo flying all night. 3rd was Tristan who got a well deserved podium for the first time since he has came back racing full time with the different cars. Cant wait till next fortnight to see the improvement next fornight with a few more new cars rolled out and the ones that had issues Friday night sorted as going by the feedback after the race this class has the guys all excited. 2nd part of the night was the Slotworx V8's and i probably made the mistake of running them 2nd as what is usually a great class of racing was a bit messier than usual as stepping back from the user friendly GT3 cars to the much more top heavy V8 proved a handful but lesson learnt and we will not do that again in future. The Finals were tough but once the A-Final got going there was a fanatstic battle going on between the whole field. But once the 60 laps was complete Ryan got his revenge for coming 2nd earlier in the night to win the A-Final by a lap from Sandman in 2nd and to back up his first podiium in the night Tristan again nabbed 3rd place.
