The Team Race 2011 was once again a hectic night with close racing throughout the night. Steve Tindalls team managed to
win all three rounds so won overall. Team Wot Transponder were unlucky to finish last each round but not by much. The other teams
fought hard every round and in the end there was a tie on laps for 4th and 5th place with a total of 377 laps each which was decided on overall
times by 2 seconds advantage to Matt Chandlers team.
The 2011 Castaline Challenge series which started on 23rd September is now complete.
There were seven rounds in the championship with your best four rounds to count towards your score. The last round was on 18th November,
after that there are 3 weeks of club night racing, the Team Race and the Christmas Party and that's another years racing gone by.
The last round of the Carpet Series was on 16th October so its prepare your cars and wait for the 2012 season to begin for the next carpet race.
There were 83 drivers and cars that took part in the Carpet Series this year, Will Vertigan topped Club Class, while
Steve Tindall has been the man to try to catch in the 13.5 class, Jerry Clarke has been dominant in the F1 class whilst the Mardave class
has been closely fought between Daniel Burks and Matt Cook, with Daniel finally securing top place. Kathy Slater won the Mini
FWD class with Kyle Marrows coming second.

The first four rounds of the Carpet Series have now been run with close racing in all classes, only 3 Formula 1 cars were there
for round four, so if anyone else has one on the shelf, we'd like to see them racing with us at the next round.

The handout AMB transponders are now no longer available if we need to replace our existing ones. We will try to keep them available as long as we can, but
would encourage members to get their own personal transponder if possible. They can be bought new or occasionally
come up for sale on sites such as Oople and E-bay. If you need any advice on buying one, have a chat to any of the committee members.
The BRCA provide our insurance cover in case of any accidents. They will only cover non-members for 3 weeks after that you must either join
the BRCA or not race. The LRCCC committee have to enforce this rule to maintain our BRCA membership and insurance cover. Any driver turning up
to race after this 3 week period will not be permitted to drive at the club until they have joined the BRCA. If you have not joined through
LRCCC, please make sure you have your BRCA membership card with you as proof of membership.
LRCCC make no profit from the BRCA and only charge £1 on top of the BRCA fee of £13.
Note that race night fees for 2011 are £2.50 for members and £3.50 for non members, which has not changed from 2008.
I'm looking to update the website so any photos of cars or LRCCC events would be welcome - see your car on the site.
