Qualifying heats now drawn for Sundays event!

[Albertini]

Due to my entry being accepted late (?), the qualifying table posted above has been amended ( 2WD only I believe ).
Please check the latest qualifying rounds table on LBC's website as I don't want to be the cause of more trouble than I already have been.

Thanks again to Jim and Lee for fixing ( no pun intended ) it for me.
