November DTC and yearly wrap up

By Andrew Row.

The November event brought another year of DTCs to a close. Sharing the day with Paul Stokell’s Driving Events has proven a success with LCQ managing full fields all year.

This last DTC for the year was well contested and brought many regular faces. Lots of clubbies in the line up, even after a couple retired early. Dick’s Caterham has certainly found its way up the leaderboard now that the new engine is all sorted. Scoring third on the short track and fourth on the long. The top spots of the day were shared between Jason McGarry and Byron Maxwell on the long and short circuits. The ever hard-charging Graham’s Datsun scoring well for the day as well.

Bride and I had a fairly good day with the usual amount of spanner time searching for our intermittent miss. Some wise character advising we had won the award for most runs completed with most panels left in the pits – gets tedious taking the back off each run to troubleshoot. On the bright side, we think we are now onto the cause, so next year should be smooth sailing after a bit more time in the shed.

Big thank you to Gideon and the rest of the volunteers who make this event run so smoothly. A little effort by many certainly makes Gideon’s job less of a chore. Well done all.

Gideon has trawled through the 2021 results and put together a few awards for the year.

1. Most Improved

Measured against the driver’s previous year’s best time.
Short Track – Mal Gray
Long Track – George “I’ve got new tyres” Row

2. Rookie

For those doing their first season
1 – Anthony Fitzgerald
2 – Bride Moran
3 – Evan Lambkin

3. Most Consistent

Like a regularity
Short Track – Lindsay Close (0.194 seconds)
Long Track – Jason McGarry (0.368 seconds)

4. Fastest Time 2021

Short Track – Jason McGarry – 44.837
Long Track – Byron Maxwell – 52.935

The track record for the short track didn’t tumble this year, but Byron Maxwell knocked Evan off on the long track by quite a margin. Jason McGarry knocking at the door of the record on both tracks. Some have come to really master this short course format. See the list for the full history of PBs from LCQ members.

See you all out there to do it all again next year.
