ALFIE Townsend won the Salisbury District Scouts slot car challenge after completing 132 laps in just 15 minutes.
The challenge was held at the scouts headquarters in Dennis Marsh House in Westminster Road on November 30.

The winner was Alfie Townsend of the 10th Salisbury Scout Troop who managed to complete an impressive 132 laps driving a silver Porsche
Assistant District Commissioner (Scouts) Mark Warner said: “Using the older cars without magnets meant that much more skill was involved in manoeuvring the cars around the course and completing 132 laps in the time was fantastic.”
There was also a leaders’ competition where Nich Brown achieved 137 laps but he was pipped to first place by Mark Warner with 151 laps driving a red TR7.
