Pontiac51's Slot Race 27-06-99

This race was the first held on the Pontiac51 Raceway. The Track is 6,96m long (418m scale). Exact timing is ensured through a SPTS. 14 competitors were found and after exessive training on friday and saturday, on sunday 6 p.m. the qualify started. Before technial intructions were given by me. Our Statsgirl Martina was prepared to keep times and points on a flipchart. The order was on random, everyone had to drive 12 consecutive laps. Choice of lane and car was free. Laps driven first were placed first. The standings after the qualify looked like this:

The scoring for each race was: 10 pts for 1st, 6 pts for 2nd, 0 pts for DNF. No marshalling was allowed (means spin and you are out of the race).
