Well Lads , the U2 cars have finished their run on the Green , some really nice cars, and the drivers got the best out of them.
We are now on Lunch break with sausage on a bun and burgers in preparation for the running of the O2 big boys. With so many cars with the same number i have added an owners initial after the # to identify them .
So take a break have something to eat and O2 STARTS in about 45 minutes.
I'll post all the results together with pics a bit later . Oh yeah loads of fun

Phew , just finished running the O2 cars. Man that's a lot of cars. Sooò much fun and close racing action. Anyway lots of pics to come and now to formulate the results.
One question here. When reporting the results do,you want them separated by u2 and o2 or just as one big group.
I can do it either way. Let me know as I am do I g up the numbers now.

We can see you are still online....first thanks to all of the effort put forth today. As far as reporting I think the two classes separately is the cleanest. Hope you can get some well deserved rest tonight.

Yes rest is needed.
Dave drove 2 hrs down and 2 hrs baxk to help out today, and Mini Mike and KoolKarz came in from the city to help out too.With so many cars we just didn't have time for 3 minute heats so ran 2 mins instead, but each car got 6 mins of track time . We started at 10 and finished after 6pm , so a full days fun but tiring.
Our driving CREW were incredible and ran some fabulous close heats
I have just finished the numbers and will post the results as U2 and O2 .
Any ties were broken by using lap count on the red lane and if still tied then the blue lane was added in. This cured the 4 or 5 ties we had. There were a few minor hiccups with cars such as axle bushings out of the holder and screws missing etc but All were fixed to run at their optimum. As with all cars we discovered some were tippy, some were fast I a straight line and some were slower but great handlers. Overall the impressions of the e tyrants were very favorable. You all deserve kudos for the work put into,these cars. A lot of Ingenuity was seen and it was effective.
So I will post the results next and some pics tomorrow.
Thanks for the privilege of allowing me to host your wonderful cars.
Thanks
Bob
