| Thanks for 10 years of Scottish Legends |
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Legends Racing in Scotland, we decided to mark the occasion by saying a big "thank you" to Aly Hunter - or Mr Scotlegends as Richard John Neil refers to him - who introduced the cars to Scotland and who has worked tirelessly to make the Championship what it is today.
Past and present drivers were approached for contributions and the response was so bountiful that we were able to send him on a F1 Experience Day (at the Three Sisters Circuit near Wigan) and present him with vouchers for Demon Tweeks, Forth Yacht Marina and Champany Restaurant.
The presentation took place after the Prize Giving at the end of the day’s racing last Saturday where Gerard McCosh said a few words and Ross Mickel then "drove in" Aly’s main gift of the F1 Day Voucher attached to a remote-controlled F1 car.
Aly has now booked his F1 Experience Day for Tuesday, 5th October.
His day starts early but it is not until after lunch that he finally gets to drive the F1 car.
Anyone who would like to join him at the venue would be most welcome to do so.
Thanks to all that contributed.

| Showing of First Round from 18th April |
According to the Motors TV website, the first showing of Round 1 (18th April) is to be on Thursday, 13th May at about 8 pm.
It is listed as a one hour programme for Legends. However on speaking to AJK Television it would seem that it might be a one hour programme sharing the slot with the Minis - and it may start an hour earlier.
Suggest keeping an eye on the SMRC website and/or checking Motors TV schedules at the start of that week.

| Round robin from Aly Hunter |
Hi everybody,
It seams like no time at all, yet here we are starting the 10th year of Scottish Legends Racing.
We have come a long way from our 1st race, with 6 cars, and I think this year is shaping up to be one of our most successful yet.
Kevin Pick has confirmed our calendar for this year, 9 rounds, including a double header with the British GT's , dates below.
"Hi Aly
Here is the calendar as discussed,
The 2010 SCOTTISH LEGENDS CARS CHAMPIONSHIP will be contested over 9
Rounds and all count as follow;
1 18 April Knockhill SMRC
2 and 3 8/9 May Knockhill SMRC (British GTs)
4 and 5 26/27June Angelsey BRSCC
6 25 July Knockhill SMRC
7 21 Aug (Sat) Knockhill SMRC
8 19 Sept Knockhill SMRC
9 17 Oct Knockhill SMRC
New for 2010 - All SMRC Championships will use a Safety Car at
Knockhill meetings.
Regards
Kevin"
I have also been asking when we can expect the rule book to be made public, it is still with the MSA technical guys and at this time Kevin has not had any response from them about when he can expect to receive it. I will let you know when it is released.
The suggested date for our test day is the 18th of March. Unlike previous years this will be an afternoon, 1:00pm till 5:00pm, not a full day. Cost will be in the order of £175-225 depending on numbers. If you could email back to say whether or not you will be attending that would be very much appreciated.
We have been asked to compete on the Oval again this year - Dates are 28th April - 19th May - 30th June - 28th July and the 18th July. Those that took part last year had a great time, are you interested in doing it again this year? We need 12 cars to make it happen.
I am unable to confirm the use of the Raceceiver, you will note from Kevin's letter that all classes are to use the safety car, I am sure the SMRC will let us know in the fullness of time.
Numbers for the Championship look great, new drivers for 2010 include - Austin Pirie 51 - Kevan Fearnley - Jeff Pritchard plus Ciaran Peden one of Steve McCall's new drivers. In addition there are another couple of drivers thinking about joining.
The Team event looks good, so far I am aware of - the Hynds boys / Ben and Elliott / Andrew and Stuart Black / Myself and Stevie Coull / Kevan Fearnly and his son - if I have missed you out please let me know.
I wish all of you good luck for 2010 and thank you for you continued support.
Cheers Aly
Forgot about Craig Mitchell who will also be returning and is the SMRC nominated Scholarship driver.
Sorry Craig !
Aly

Race Report and Results have now been posted and the Championship Table has been updated.
Apologies for the delay but this arose because the SMRC failed to amend the result of Race 2 following the rescinding of Tony Caig’s initial 5 second penalty for a driving standard infringement. They have recently done so and the amended result can be viewed on the SMART Timing website.

| As Ross Marshall secures Individual Title for 2009 and Nick Brace becomes Rookie Champion. |
Congratulations to Ross Marshall who became the 2009 Scottish Legends Champion in the 2nd heat last Saturday. He is a thoroughly deserving winner having driven consistently well throughout the season.
And equally deserving is the 2009 Rookie Champion, Nick Brace. He is sufficiently clear of the next Rookie, Martyn Lyell, so that he can forgo the final round and compete at Pembrey where he is head-to-head with Ben Power in his quest to "do the double", i.e. to lift the National Rookie Title as well. I suspect the Scottish Rookie Title would have been a closer run affair if Martyn had not had to miss 3 rounds.

Tony Caig has decided not to protest the finalised result of the final race at the Speedfair Meeting. The Championship Table has been up-dated to reflect his being classified as a non-finisher in this race. Points scored at the weekend have also been added.
Apologies to Ross McEwan whose name steadfastly refuses to appear on the Championship Positions page!

| Result of Final Race on 19th July 2009 |
The protest lodged after the final race at the Speedfair Meeting in July was withdrawn.
The result of the final is as per the second ‘provisional’ result sheet issued on the day. It would seem that, where a red flag is shown, the result goes back to the lap before the last one completed by the leading car. The red flag was shown on lap 9. The leader had not completed lap 9. He had completed lap 8 but the result goes back one lap further, i.e. the positions at then end of lap 7.
Final - 7 laps
1st Ross Marshall 7m 46.09 secs (69.20 mph), 2nd Ben Mason, 3rd Tony Caig, 4th Nick Brace, 5th Alasdair Gauld, 6th David Hunter, 7th Gerard McCosh, 8th Colin Atkinson, 9th Ross Mickel, 10th Martyn Lyell, 11th Billy Wait, 12th Scott Hynds, 13th Alex Knight, 14th Stevie Coull, 15th Mark Lees, 16th Murray Ford.
DNF Frank Hynds.
Fastest lap: Ross Mickel 62.91 secs (73.28 mph)

| Round 5 - Knockhill - 19th July 2009 |
Race Report & Results for the first two heats is now uploaded.
Owing to the protest which was lodged after the final and the difference of opinions as to how many laps should be "counted back" from the time the red flag was shown, no result was declared.
It is unlikely that the matter will be dealt with before our next round which is at the BTCC meeting on 15th & 16th August and there seems no point in up-dating the Championship Table until the matter is resolved.
