Nice to see some HOTS drivers in attendance today, together with the usual regulars that managed to get there 1/12 Oval Racing fix this morning.

Shoutout to the season Winners 📣 (Silverware has been ordered 😜)

As always, thank-you to the track helpers that assist with setup / takedown as-well as the stand in Marshalls. If everybody does there bit, it makes things easy 👍🏻

So a few things -
1. July 12th meeting unfortunately weve had to cancel as not enough people to run it atm.
2. transponders not counting , now were had alot of issues over the years with the irace system, alot have been software glitches - some of which just settled themselves others needing us to spend alot of money on equipment . But the manufactures of the harware blame the software & the software blame the hardware so were stuck in the middle & we try to make the best of what we have. Other clubs are all suffering the same issue -weather they are aware of it or not. Mounting your transponder up high with clear sight upwards will give you the best results , some say that Lexan windscreen can deflect the infra-red beam and cause anomalies.
3. Marshalling. Please can you marshall after you race! Unless your racing again, I have a list of drivers who repeatedly do not marshal . Id hate to have to give out penalties.

See you all back for july 19th
