Looks like MantaRay 1st and Pablo 2nd.
Well done chaps.
Apart from my #67, I can't recall who owns which car.
Jens, can you please put names to the cars?
Thanks to you and your helpers for holding the race.

Ray's W-rail car was also killer on my track.
I was kind of surprised it didn't win.
It easily had the fastest motor.
Maybe with all those laps, his tires finally got worn down into a sweet spot.
He hadn't really taken advantage of the 1.000" minimum diameter.
Anyway, glad to see another race finally got run at another venue.
Good job, Jens.

Congratulations to the winners!
A big thanks for running the round and taking the pictures Jens.
Also a big thanks to your club mates for taking the time to run our cars greatly appreciated.
Shame that my entry (Black #15) due to a loose pinion got a disappointing last place
Do you know if it was competitive before it's pinion came loose?
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
