  One of the highlights of the winter season is the two-day indoor event, and Carpet Wars was one not to miss. The track was fast and flowing, with the usual combination of bot dots and road rail marking out the layout providing the perfect system for racing; as the unforgiving nature of the bot dots would reward those who could get close enough to produce the fast lap times and punish those who went in too tight! The carpet provided a good level of grip for all the drivers (even a little too much for some at times) which gave perfect qualifying and racing conditions.  
  This meeting attracted big names such as Andy Moore, Olly Jefferies, Chris Grainger, Russell Williams and with many others in attendance in their respective classes all were competing for the cash prize put up by the Maritime Club. Saturday started early, with every driver getting a single chance to get used to the track layout and by 9.00am the racing was underway with the first round of qualifying. There was five rounds of qualifying was more than enough time for each driver to get in that crucial FTD run; followed by three legged finals, of which only two counted.
