So yet another year of Racing draws to a close at the Faversham Off-Road Car Club and as always we like to end with a bit of a Party and to give everyone the opportunity to let their hair down a bit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Praying to the God of Crossovers to ensure there would be neither carnage or cheating… Oh well, you did your best<\/p><\/div>\n

Food preparation well under way…<\/p><\/div>\n

The crowds are gathering…<\/p><\/div>\n

We decided to give the Endurance a year off this year and opt for a simpler points based team race format. I have a feeling though that the Endurance will be back next year… 😜The heats were all a bit mixed up with 2WD, 4WD and SCT all in together and the teams were chosen at random. The teams were:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Team 1<\/strong><\/td>\nTeam 2<\/strong><\/td>\nTeam 3<\/strong><\/td>\nTeam 4<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Elliott<\/td>\nMatthew<\/td>\nEd<\/td>\nNathan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Dave<\/td>\nGeorge<\/td>\nMark<\/td>\nDarren<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
John<\/td>\nJon<\/td>\nAlan<\/td>\nNail<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Kyle<\/td>\nHarpreet<\/td>\nLuke<\/td>\nMickey<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Jeff<\/td>\nSam<\/td>\nJamie<\/td>\nCallum<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mark<\/td>\nBob<\/td>\nJeremy<\/td>\nTom<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Adrian<\/td>\nLes<\/td>\nGraham<\/td>\nMatt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bradley<\/td>\nLee<\/td>\nKai<\/td>\nBen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Verner<\/td>\nHattie<\/td>\nWilliam<\/td>\nNick<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ian<\/td>\nElliott<\/td>\nEvie<\/td>\nAlfie<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Jake<\/td>\nJohn<\/td>\nJames<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

There were 2 Rounds of Racing with 7 heats in each and drivers were racing for their teams. The top finishers for each team in each race scored points (10, 8, 6 & 4). It actually made for some pretty close scoring with all for teams level after the first 6 races. Quite remarkable. Round 2 though would see one team making a break for victory and that team was Team 3 so congratulations to you guys for a well deserved win<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You can’t have a Christmas meeting without Alan having his say…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Speech!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

He did have one very important thing to say though and that was to say Thank you and Farewell to Lisa. She has run the tuck shop for 3 years but is leaving us for Pastures new. Thank you for looking after us so well Lisa 😍<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Farewell Lisa. Thank you for putting up with us for so long \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The big event of the night (apart from the food and drink…) was of course the Raffle. There were some cracking prizes on offer and a serious amount of tickets were bought. Congratulations to those that won something and better luck next time to those that didn’t.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lots of Lovely Prizes!<\/p><\/div>\n

Raffle Time!<\/p><\/div>\n

So that’s it then and all that remains for me to say is Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at the club and a reminder that there is no racing next week but we will be back on the 4th of January 2017 where we will very much be looking forward to both you and your shiny new 2017 BRCA licenses! 😎<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
