Class
A: Al Penrose Ferrari 250 Very impressive
car for a basically 36 year old
stock car.
Al Penrose Cooper Ford Very impressive car for a basically 36 year old
stock car.
Matthieu Visser's
Lola Nicely balanced car, fast and easy to drive.
The other cars in the class suffered from a lack of traction.
Class B The Bugatti was the
best all around car of the day in any class.
The Mercedes full-fender
GP car was almost as good.
The other cars in the class suffered from a lack of traction.
Mini class The STP mini was the most fun to
drive and Foam's was the most
impressive as far as engineering. The mini's mostly worked well. I'm
looking forward to next year with these.
How about a TSRF mini?
Class E I didn't drive any of
the magnet cars. As a spectator all of the cars
EXCEPT the GT40 appeared to have too much magnet. The wood
chassis car was fast when the braid was right (not often).
Magnet class: I thought that people would have learned the lessons from Dennis
Hill's car
last year, but
no. I thought I didn't have a chance in heck
but I should have tuned up one of my stock Fly cars and I could have had a good
chance. I just psyched myself out. I should have known better.
Like two years ago, last year and once again this year, reliable and easy to
drive wins out over trick and or fast. A "lap-getter"
wins again. The reason that Dennis
car was so great last year was because it had all three attributes.
