Wolves - 'Ocar' World Classic Saloons - 10/11 October 2009
Classic saloons made their annual appearance at the Wolverhampton Scalextric Club
on the weekend of October 10th & 11th. This year the action was staged upon the 6 lane Aldersley circuit – a track
definitely not for the faint hearted…The event is aimed at attracting scratchbuilt models of saloon cars that actually
raced up until 1976. The long wheelbase regulations had been altered slightly this year in an attempt to vary the grid. The
1976 cut off date meant that cars such as Jaguar XJ12s and Rover 3.5 SD1s were no longer eligible. However, the car that did
adhere to the new regs was the Ford Capri, and as a result was the ‘racers’ choice.
Long Wheel Base Grand Final - 5 minutes
38.41 laps - 1st Mark Cockerton OCAR Ford Capri/Pitlane Chassis

With a number of the usual modeller/builders not in attendance,
concours was arguably not so hard fought this year. However, that did not stop Marlon Foakes and Rob Davies producing two
magnificent models. Marlon’s re-working of an ‘Ocar’ Vauxhall Firenza resin shell based upon the late, great
Gerry Marshals ‘Old Nail’ was simply stunning and a worthy overall winner of the Concours Trophy. Rob Davies ‘Traffic
Models’ resin Sunbeam Rapier was equally as impressive and quite rightly earned him 2nd place. Yours truly entered an
‘Ocar’ Ford Capri RS2600 modelled on the 1971 Spa 24 hour winner. It got me a 3rd place cup, but with so many
other Capris around at the weekend it lacked the all important ‘novelty’ factor.
