BEDFORDSHIRE INGLATERRA - BARRY "BRUSHLESS" GILSEAN WINNER IN LUTON SLOT CAR CLUB

 A first at Manor Farm this past Wednesday during our 1/32 Libre evening as Barry 'Brushless' Gilzean claims a maiden victory with his constantly developing brushless sports car. Admittedly, the opposition was a raggle raggle selection of chassis and motors, but he did have some full blown ES32's accompanying him on track to keep him honest.

With no Genesis being raced as a separate class, we switched the format to best heat from four, then move up finals, which allowed some car changes to add a bit of variety. Indeed, Barry kicked off his night using a Classic 80's Saloon before switching to brushless power. Ray would have joined him early on with his Super Wasp powered Parma International 32, but a recalcitrant grub screw in one of the original aluminium hubs put paid to that.

Nick Thrower and Aston Offer completed the top three, and that was about that, except for a quick pint down the pub, thanks to an early finish.

As I write this on Sunday evening, I have no information on how the LSCC contingent faired at the North London S32 round, but check out the BSCRA website where the results should be available later.

Back to our regular racing next week when the open wheelers get a chance to strip gears and bounce off each other. Until then, stay safe.
