NEW YEAR CRASH, Big Van Bangers & 1300 Stock Cars
Sunday 2nd January 2022
Welcome back! I trust you all had a good Christmas? I had a lovely Christmas, recharged the batteries and now ready to face whatever 2022 brings us!
​
What a great year we have lined up for you this year!
Team Racing is back! Always a popular series, and we will post in the Facebook group the Team Racing rules nearer the first team meeting.
We have an all pink meeting in memory of our dear friend Jean "Mummy" Mason, raising money for the British Heart Foundation, and of course, our infamous Autism Awareness meeting is back too.
We also have our Junior Series, which is split into two classes, defined by school years 1 - 5 and 6 - 11.
We also have an addition to our chained pairs meeting, Banger Trains!
So buckle up, and let's have a great 2022!
So we celebrated the New Year in style, with our annual Big Van Bangers, and today we had 34 gracing the track. You guys had obviously all recharged your batteries too, and you were all well on form! We saw some great racing, some excellent wrecking, plenty of carnage, and the usual round of banter and laughter! Just how we like it, here in The Cow Shed!

Heat wins for Little Taz, Brandon Turner, Koonta and Taz, with a double win for Jack Booker. Great to see Brandon hasn't lost his touch after a long break from RC's.
Having taken the chequered flag in one of his heats, Koonta then went on to become the first Final winner of 2022! Congratulations Koonta, a great start to the New Year for you!
Great racing from all, and good to see everyone having such a good time, both on and off the track.
Joining the Vans on track today were the ever popular 1300 Stock Cars, 20 of them today, running for the last time without their roof grades. Twenty drivers here today, all with varying experience, so we were looking forward to this one!

Congratulations to Mark Brewster and Caitlyn Howard for their heat wins, and double heat wins for Jack Booker and Charlie Ruskin. Pete Bowley took the B Final, and the A Final was won by Jack Booker. Well done all, a nice variety of winners today. Next time out, 3rd April, they'll all be sporting their roof grades, and collecting their first points of the year for the Club Championship.
Another great day at The Cow Shed draws to a close, many thanks to Midge and the Crew for another well run meeting. See you all again on 29th Jan for some Ramp Racing, F2 Stocks And Reliant Robins. In the meantime, take care all,
Gill
